As one of the primary research strategies in contemporary translation studies, Reception Aesthetics Translation Theory primarily emphasizes the artistic and creative aspects that translation should possess in order to maintain the literary value and aesthetic appeal of the original text in the target language. The emergence of this theoretical perspective signifies that translators need to delve deeper into cultural nuances, rhetorical features, and creative techniques to create more artistic translation works. In this article, we will illustrate the impact of this theory on preserving the unique qualities and emotions of the original while also enhancing the audience’s appreciation and understanding of these audiovisual works stemming from different cultural perspectives, using subtitle translations in Pixar animated films as examples.
