Chip vs Dale
Wednesday, 21-Jun-17 18:10:57 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Chip wins. Because in the German version Dale already lost his name and got the name "Chap" instead.

@adiwan Chip goes on to found the Justice League

@thelastgherkin Close. Rescue Rangers is called here "Chip und Chap - Die Ritter des Rechts" (Chip and Chap - The Knights of Justice).

@adiwan That seems... evocative

@thelastgherkin I guess since it's a show for children and they know no English the title "Rescue Rangers" had to be changed (also for the R/R logo). There is not really a snappy and alliterative alternative in German for that. There are a ton of Disney characters that had also their names changed for lesser reasons. Scrooge McDuck is here "Dagobert Duck". Launchpad McQuack is simply just "Quack" (sometimes with the addition of "der Bruchpilot (the crash pilot)). But the show is also called here "DuckTales"... Localization! A weird world of wacky words.
