"Zootopia" in Polish is "Zwierzogród", but the biggest hits are "Dirty Dancing" ("Wirujący Seks" - "Swirling Sex" - it was so funny that nobody uses it anymore) and "Die Hard" ("Szklana Pułapka" - "Glass Trap", which was OK for the first one, but for the next parts...).

What about Home Alone (Kevin sam w domu)?

Are the names of the movies or TV Shows changed in your countries ? For example Zootopia is here Zootropolis   I know the french did it always A-Team = l´agence tout risque lol etc... but here in general even if the name is translated into CZ/SK it´s usually the exact translation of the title in the original language

 

Thank the good Lord it's generally not, maybe except some children's shows (but Spongebob Squarepants for example is called by it's actual name, so that's good). Dutch TV has dumb and stupid things, but I'm so glad they don't commonly do this  (I can only imagine 'The Walking Dead' or 'Black Sails' or 'The Last Kingdom' changing to Dutch versions  )

 

Changing the names of movies and series is second on my list of dumb TV things related to languages, closely behind every single country that has their own language as audio instead of the original audio (specifically for non-children stuff).

American title, "Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Danish title, "Røvtur på 1. klasse". Literal translation in English, "Ass-trip on first class" .

Yeah but I don't see the point in changing a title in english to another title in english, usually they translate the title in french or just keep the original title, but sometimes they do this, I don't get why.

To be fair, to someone who never in his life heard of 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' (me), the other name sounds a lot more funny
