Interesting - I notice a distinct trend: The languages in which timing between the dialogue and the character mouth movement is WORST seems to be the Nordic languages. Norwegian is poorly done, Swedish even worse - and much to my chagrin: Danish is the worst of ALL 19! 
Don't we take any pride in doing a good job anymore here in the North?

Having seen both movies it was interesting to note they were produced in France. They chose to make the facial expressions "English". Being at work, I can't watch the original link with sound so that will wait until I get home. That also endorses how English has come to dominate movies whose producers are mindful of international distribution. The franchise may have flopped internationally if they had used French mouth animation as English would have been perceived to have been dubbed.
A few months ago, Auntie wrote about the difficulty French authors have promoting their work outside France while English authors (some very mediocre and unknown) are promoted very successfully in French.
The best animation language variance I've seen is in Toy Story 3 where Buzz Lightyear has his language switch set to Spanish. The bit that followed was absolutely superb.

Sometimes you have to get dirty before you can feel clean. Underneath the darkness there is light!

Yes. Don't you feel like taking shower after a heavy duty work at garden or garage or any sport field?

Or you can just use soap.

Or have a rest.

Nope, your definition of 'clean' is wrong.

Roadside sign somewhere in Ohio... No Signs

Regarding the Ohio one: I've seen those,and they mean what they say. It's for the case where they have removed the signs as part of road construction.

Yeah. The Cruise Ship one, though, is... just....  .

Yes it reads really badly, but it means if you want to get to the Cruise Ships you need to use the airport exit.
Putting all of that on a sign would be unreadable at highway speeds...

What about the Tesco one? Or the matches?

Or on a computer screen: No screen detected.
I have seen this one before. As well as the "No keyboard detected. Press any key/F1 to continue."

I once saw a sign in Mexico that said something along the lines of "Do not damage the signs". That sign had been abused beyond belief.
