The problem is that most people won't be aware of the difference between two films, one of which is titled "Little Shop of Horrors" and the other titled "The Little Shop of Horrors". So it's worth putting the year in as well, to prevent confusion. FT2(Talk | email)09:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Opps, wrong version (went by Rick Moranis version). Now all changed to Krelboin. Interesting it appears to have changed between film versions, or perhaps no one ever knew? AWoodland (talk) 07:36, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's Krelboyne. IMDb is user-edited, and the edits for this are wrong. Listen to the pronunciation and read the closed captions.
You're all wrong, it's "Krelboined." It first appears on the fourth page of the screenplay: "SEYMOUR KRELBOINED, a scrawny runt, with a nose like a door-stopper and the gait of an ostrich, enters from the back." For whatever reasons, Howard Ashman changed it to "Krelborn" for the 1980s stage musical, and that name has stuck in all subsequent incarnations, including the Corman-produced animated series. I remember this being the subject of lengthy debate on the now-defunct IMDb message boards, and people have been persistently switching it around on that site for decades. It's pretty much been forgotten today, but in the 1950s, people who heard their names uttered on TV were filing lawsuits left and right, which led to the ubiquitous "any similarities to persons living or dead" disclaimers. Although this film carries an early version of that disclaimer, all of the character names are odd, and I'm assuming it was Griffith's and Corman's way of ensuring they could evade pricey character defamation lawsuits.
