A Study of Subtitle Translation of the Film Coco From the Perspective of Eco-translatology

With the continuous development of globalization and the deepening cross-cultural exchanges, foreign films and TV dramas are constantly introduced into China, and the film Coco produced by Pixar Animation Studio has gained immense popularity among Chinese viewers, and subtitle translation has played a crucial role in this process. This essay will focus on the subtitle translation of Coco to explore the application of Eco-translatology theory within the subtitles, expecting to provide insights for future subtitle translation research from the perspective of three-dimensional transformation of language, culture, and communication.
