==Filmography and bibliography== Tuvalu doesn't have a movie or TV industry whatsoever, and foreign movies and TV shows (e.g. Hollywood movies) are commonly watched/dubbed in the country. The first movie to be dubbed into Tuvaluan/seen a release in Tuvalu was [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]]'s [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]] in January 1976 (38 years and 1 month after the film was first released and just 3 months after Tuvalu was formed). Since then, there have been thousands of movies, TV shows and cartoons that have been dubbed into Tuvaluan/released in Tuvalu. All animated movies (including all [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]] animated movies (e.g. the 2011 [[Winnie the Pooh (2011 film)|Winnie the Pooh]] movie) and [[adult animated]] movies) and [[Children's television series|children's TV shows]] (e.g. [[Animaniacs]]) are dubbed into Tuvaluan (though in almost all cases, songs are left in English or the original language of the movie or TV show with Tuvaluan subtitles, [[Moana (2016 film)|Moana]] and [[My Little Pony: A New Generation]] are the only animated movies to not have any songs left in English, instead, all the songs in both movies are dubbed into Tuvaluan), Adult animated TV shows such as [[South Park]] and [[The Simpsons]] are also dubbed into Tuvaluan as well. Almost all live-action movies and TV shows are also dubbed into Tuvaluan, as for documentaries, Tuvalu usually uses voice-over.{{cn|date=April 2025}} ===Filmography=== {{Refbegin}} Documentary films about Tuvalu: * ''Tu Toko Tasi'' (Stand by Yourself) (2000) Conrad Mill, a Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) production.<ref name="Mill">{{cite web |last=Phelan |first=Erin |title=Tuvalu in World TV Festival |publisher=Pacific Islands Report |date=15 May 2000 |url=http://www.pireport.org/articles/2000/05/15/tuvalu-world-tv-festival |access-date=30 September 2017 |archive-date=30 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170930131207/http://www.pireport.org/articles/2000/05/15/tuvalu-world-tv-festival |url-status=dead}} </ref> * [http://article.wn.com/view/2015/03/15/Tuvalu_battered_by_Cyclone_Pam/ ''Paradise Domain β Tuvalu''] (Director: Joost De Haas, Bullfrog Films/TVE 2001) 25:52 minutes β YouTube video.<ref name="MKM"/> * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQlrPm-VyE4 ''Tuvalu island tales (A Tale of two Islands'')] (Director: Michel Lippitsch) 34 minutes β YouTube video. * ''The Disappearing of Tuvalu: Trouble in Paradise'' (2004) by Christopher Horner and Gilliane Le Gallic.<ref name="HG">{{cite web |title=DER Documentary: ''The Disappearing of Tuvalu: Trouble in Paradise'' |publisher=DER Documentary |year=2004 |url=http://www.der.org/films/the-disappearing-of-tuvalu.html |access-date=30 September 2017}}</ref> * ''Paradise Drowned: Tuvalu, the Disappearing Nation'' (2004) Written and produced by Wayne Tourell.
