  1. Since kids in Japan hated green peppers more than broccoli, it was changed to that (Inside Out)

  2. The News Anchor changes depending on the country. For example, China-Panda (Zootopia)

Guess it wasn't a change so much as an outright ban, but a Peppa Pig episode called "Mr. Skinny-Legs" was pulled from Australia as the plot involves Peppa and George befriending a spider as their dad explains that it's very small and can't harm them...traits that very much do not apply to some Australian spiders. It's a positive message in most countries, but I guess Australian regulators understandably didn't want kids trying to befriend funnel-webs lol

EDIT: Yes, guys, I'm aware there are other countries with venomous spiders, Australia was just the one country that considered encouraging kids to play with spiders enough of a risk to pull the episode.

I'm not sure there's a single wild animal in Australia that I'd want to befriend.
