Y'know, awhile ago the people bringing Tokyo Mew Mew to the US considered changing the title to "Hollywood Mew Mew."
Why, you ask?
Answer: The people in charge thought that their assumed audience (small children) would be too young to even know it took place in Japan and wanted to make the place somewhere "familiar."
Speaking of slaugtered dubs, never speak the title of the American Version of Cardcaptor Sakura when I'm around if you wish to avoid a painful and slow death.
