Abstract: As economic globalization increasingly strengthens, China, nowadays, will continue to reform and open up, and the economics and culture of all countries is interconnected. Although domestic movies of China are gradually rising up and beginning to dominate the domestic moviersquo;s market, foreign movies are still playing a significant role in Chinarsquo;s movie market, shouldering the important mission of cultural communication. To help Chinese audiences appreciate foreign movies and understand foreign cultures as much as possible, taking the essence and discarding the dregs, apart from movie dubbing, movie subtitle has become the most important communication method.

Nowadays, globalization has become an irreversible trend of this era. Against the background of this, the economics and politics of nearly all countries are interdependent, the degree of countriesrsquo; exchanges and collisions has been increasingly deepening, and the world is totally within our reach. The entertainment industry is of no exception. A huge number of foreign films have been entering into Chinarsquo;s movie market, most of our audiences can only understand foreign movies with the help of Chinese subtitles due to their language limitations. Therefore, subtitle translation has been attached to great importance. Considering this, foreign moviersquo;s subtitle translation should transfer the connotations to our audiences. For the reason that subtitle translation is not just about conversion between two languages but a process of culture delivery, information distortion caused by cultural differences must be avoided.

Animated movies have lively and vivid scenes and story lines, which bring much visual and audio enjoyment to the audiences and play an essential role in global cultural exchanges and transmission. Among all, US animated films boast global reputation. Those of Disney and DreamWorks Studios represent worldrsquo;s highest level, loved by a wide range of audiences. Coco, released in November, 2017, is dubbed as “best animated production within 10 years by We Media. The movie tells about a wonderful journey of a music-loving boy and a distressed singer in a mysterious ghost world. The movie is so engaging and moving that it leads you into a unreachable world and then back to the people around. The author searched the keyword “Coco” in CNKI and found 56 pieces of relevant literature, most of whose topic is theme analysis, revealing the secret of the boyrsquo;s success and revelation to Chinese movies, a few of which analyze from the perspective of narratology and metaphor. Few literature analyze the movie from the angle of pragmatics. Therefore, the paper will use skopos as a theoretical tool to analyze Cocorsquo;s official subtitle translation.
