This study investigates the E–C subtitling translation of Disney’s animation Zootopia from the perspective of intercultural communication. It explores how translators navigate cultural differences and pragmatic challenges between English and Chinese by strategically employing domestication and foreignization. The analysis demonstrates how these strategies enable the accurate conveyance of both narrative content and underlying cultural meanings, thereby fostering comprehension and emotional resonance among target-language viewers. By elucidating the mediating role of subtitling in intercultural communication, this research aims to contribute insights and guidance for audiovisual translation practice.
