The word is 'Cheque'
Leave it up to Disney to make such a terrible spelling gaffe. It's spelled "cheque", not "check". Idiots.

Actually check is the anglocized variation of the word cheque.
shareActually Cheque is the British way of spelling it and Check is the American Way.

Wow... This thread deteriorated quickly.
It couldve been solved in one reply with the phrase.
"That's the american spelling, you'll find the British version however had this corrected for their release, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blank-Cheque-DVD-Brian-Bonsall/dp/B00004CZAB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1252602693&sr=8-1

The only reason why there are differences in the way the Brits and the US spells words is because of the fact that Brittain has had more of a French influence.

Was the movie filmed in Canada? I didn't hear any accents so I assume it's american. Cheque sounds like Ch que and sounds like somebody is going to sneeze.

It's not a matter of arrogance....it's a matter of where the word is derived from; we Canadians adopted the original spelling of it...Beats me why the Americans changed it.
shareIf you already knew that Americans spelled it "check," why the hell did you create this topic?
Who cares how it's spelled? It still carries the exact same meaning either way.
Noah Webster promoted a simplified version of spelling English words in his 1806 'American' dictionary so that it wouldn't be as confusing and irregular. An example would be changing colour to color. Dolts.
sharei know im posting many months after the last post.
'Beats me why the Americans changed it.'
If you take a look at American culture and how it has evolved over the history of the country, you might notice that during the 'Gilded Age', education took a second seat to work. As less people sought education, more words were spelled differently, due to peoples' guessing. The letters Q-U would normally make a "Kweh" sound. Meanwhile the letters C-K most definitely make a "Kuh" sound. If someone had to guess how check was spelled, they'd probably say C-h-e-c-k.
This is my theory but maybe it will help someone who claims to have no idea how this butchering of old English could have happened.
Proud to be an American.
Edit: After more than 2 years I re-read this comment and decided I came off as a large size douche.
You are a douchebag, and completely wrong about spelling history. P.s. douche, the British had a far more illustrious history of illiteracy and absolutely no spelling standards.
its Check.
No we did not film in Canada.

Does it really matter? The film was made in America so typically it would have an American spelling. no offense.

I'm with you. I'm seeing to way much drama over something as small as a word spelling.

Perhaps you haven't heard of the tem homonym or homophone, or that spellings can vary from culture to culture even if they speak the same language. It's hard to believe that the OP seriously didn't know the difference.
Oxford American Heritage Dictionary:
check ( Brit. cheque)
noun
A written order to a bank to pay a stated sum from the drawer's account : awarded a check for $1,000.
• the printed form on which such an order is written.
ORIGIN early 18th cent. (originally denoting a check stub): variant of check 1 , in the sense [device for checking the amount of an item.]
British people getting their panties in a bunch over Americans doing things different from them is hilarious. Are they just angry that the United States is one of the only former British colonies that did not conform to Everything British? I for one am glad we didn't.
Mexican and Latino culture and language differs from original Spanish culture and language. I don't see people from Spain throwing whingy tantrums over it.

Actually, "check" is the correct spelling, but the British changed it to "cheque" due to influence from French. It's the same with "colour" (originally color, changed to colour from influence of French couleur) and some other words. We Americans did mess up some correct spellings like centre, manoeuvre, theatre, etc. (to center, maneuver, theater, etc.).
Americans did keep some of the wrongly changed words, though, like rhyme (originally rime; changed by analogy with rhythm), doubt (originally dout; changed to be closer to Latin dubere), isle (originally ile; changed by analogy with island), etc.
No its not, its called English, we spell it all right as it's the English language we speak, Americans changed their spelling of the words with Websters dictionary because Americans are too dumb to learn correct spellings so they dumbed it down with things like colour, can your minds not grasp a U in words, ridiculous.
"*beep* me gently with a chainsaw" Heathers
check-cheque, fairy-faerie, potatoe-potato, color-colour, flavor-flavour, program-programme, math-maths,
Who cares how people spell words they are both acceptable. And to call people idiots just because your way of acceptance and their way of acceptances is kind of childish and ignorant on your behalf.
