this is a thread for Fern Gully

this movie sucked

hahaha

eco-nazi propaganda

can we make this a thread about iron giant instead, because that movie was good.

iron giant was definitely way better but this movie was like four years of my childhood.

fern gully was alright.
it was not as scary as that care bears movie where they were gonna get turned into wood and burned in a furnace.

^^^ whaaaat? I do not remember that care bears movie. I remember the one with the EVIL BOOK WITH A HEAD INSIDE IT.

can we talk about don bluth movies instead?

also fun fact: harry dean stanton provided the singing voice for braveheart in the care bears movie

NO WE TALK ABOUT FERN GULLY ON THIS THREAD

actually you guys can do whatever you want

I remember the one with the EVIL BOOK WITH A HEAD INSIDE IT.

THAT FUCKING BOOK SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME

thank god for the care bear stare is all I have to say

between the oil spill monster and that Care Bears book I think my entire anxious existence has been dictated by phantom memories of childhood movie villains

"OMG YOU'RE HURTING THE TREE---CAN'T YOU HEAR IT CRYING?"

didn't the evil smog have a song?

also we all know the most horrifying part of Fern Gully was Robin Williams.

Guys this isn't even DON BLUTH (maker of such hits as "Troll in Central Park"); that puts it one notch above fucking "Quest for Camelot."

things never really go right for little jewish cartoon mice

I liked Feivel (sp??? how I spell ethic mouse name??) Goes West more.

Secret of NIMH was the best Don Bluth tho.

Also: BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER

OMFG I SAW TROLL IN CENTRAL PARK.

I don't even remember Robin Williams being in Fern Gully, but then again I was like 6 the last time I saw this movie

we should talk about Cool World

he was the fucking bat

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THIS MOVIE

I wanted to see Cool World so badly and my parents wouldn't let me and I didn't understand why because I mean there were cartoons in it.

the bad guy in all dogs go to heaven was so fucking scary! wasn't he absically dog-satan?

ts fievel vs faithmouse

Once in the mid-90s I went to a "rave" where they projected this movie on the ceiling.

http://www.hyperionpictures.com/user_files/anim_archive/images/blt.jpg

iirc chipmunk adventure has a sick wooly bully cover at the end

Milo & Otis = only movie to make me cry within the first five minutes (because of cat going down the river)

CHIPMUNK ADVENTURE lead me to believe, as a young child, that the Berlin Wall was literally destroyed by the power of rock and roll.

oh my god dog-satan

The Land Before Time is much much shittier than any of us thought it was when we were kids.

was this ever made into a movie y/n

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0440415632.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

I think my brother loved Brave Little Toaster more than I did but then again my brother was OCD and had weird obsessions with inanimate household objects

rly coz I thought it was pretty shitty

xp

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WORLD STOPS CARING?

A: ILX

And yet somehow it spawned more sequels than any other movie ever made. I swear they're on like The Land Before Time 1,000,000,000 now.

charles nelson reilly was a voice in all dogs go to heaven, as was burt reynolds. this is amazing information to me, i had no idea.

BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER===fucking great. Singing junkyard=k-scary.

ALL DOGS scared shit out of me...'once you've gone, you can never come back. This movie gave me weird metaphysical ideas. Don Bluth's Mormon, too, I have no idea how he pulled this crazy canine cosmology out of his ass.

I held up okay through Milo & Otis, but Benji The Hunted fucked my shit up when Mama Cougar got shot.

Do fundies let their kids watch The Land Before Time?

I ALWAYS FUCKING THOUGHT THE LAND BEFORE TIME WAS THE STUPIDEST MOST AWFUL MOVIE EVER

but of course, i never fell for that dinosaur propaganda they shovel into little kids' mouths anyway.

http://www.retrojunk.com/img/movies/tomandjerrythemoviec1993_433.jpg

I like how this thread is actually about every other crappy animated movie besides Fern Gully.

Guys I saw Don Bluth's Titan AE in the movie theater as an adult.

Land Before Time pissed me off so bad because I was all "THOSE ARE NOT LONG NECKS THEY ARE APATOSAURUSESES GODDAMN YOU SPIELBERG"

wait MY little brother loved land before time

he had all the fucking video sequels

Land Before Time made me cry so hard my parents took me out of the theatre and gave me Ny-Quil so I could sleep instead of my ridiculous sob fit epic.

YOUR PARENTS BASICALLY GOT YOU DRUNK

http://www.impawards.com/1988/posters/oliver_and_company_ver1.jpg

none of these movies are crappy except for ferngully and the land before time.

xpost ok and one upon a forest looks crappy too

in my elementary school we got the day off to watch ferngully and it was so shitty and boring that 3/4 of my grade went to try out for intramural basketball to escape

there's are at least two or three scenes in each land before time where the group gets separated from one another and there is two minutes of frantic shouting of "LITTLEFOOT?!"
"DUCKIE?!"
"CERA?!?"
"SPIKE??!"

so of course we would basically always shout this, in my house, at each other. eventually we started adding "MULDER?! SCULLY??!"

omfg Charlie in All Dogs was played by BURT REYNOLDS I NEED THIS MOVIE NOW

oh shit I was just trying to remember the name of Once Upon a Forest!

it is sub-Fern Gully

xxxpost

haha jessie I had to look up "Environmental Films" on wikipedia to remember the name of it!!

i just need to watch an american tail tonight

xpost arrrrgh fucking littlefoot

http://www.laserdisken.dk/billeder/forsidealm/101225177411835001.jpg

scenes of neglected, unwanted kittens shivering in cardboard box on the sidewalk/subway platform = ultimate heartbreak

once upon a forest totally was sub-ferngully, my mom left me and my dad in the theater to go to bloomingdale's ~10 minutes after the one forest critter's parents got gassed

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8f/Happily_ever_after.jpg/383px-Happily_ever_after.jpg

This will truly separate the nerds from the people who are way too obsessed with their childhood.

the second?? third?? land before time has an AWESOME song in it tho. they've met a baby t-rex and he is their friend and they invite him to dinner (?!?) then they sing a v catchy number called "Friends for Dinner" which has a double meaning once Cera warns them that he is still a sharp-tooth and will surely eat them

"dansk tale"

i was bummed when i found out how much less cute and 1988 fabulous oliver twist was

alex what the fuck

We watched this in my high-school French class, on the logic that some character says "beaucoup" at some point.

happily ever after was straight to video wasn't it? or am i confusing it with other disney knockoffs? i remember renting an off-brand little mermaid (with a more faithful ending, bullshit) out of desperation

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/84/The_Secret_of_NIMH.jpg/433px-The_Secret_of_NIMH.jpg

oh god my mom made the mistake of renting another cartoon little mermaid during my sister's little mermaid phase. wowwww was that a mistake.

lol she dies!

I have no idea about Happily Ever After other than I watched it about 900 times in three days.

huge lolz re. accurate little mermaid cartoon

Am I the only one old enough to remember this?

http://www.impawards.com/1976/posters/hugo_the_hippo.jpg

no i remember impawards v well

kekekekkee

ok for some reason this is making me recall that there is a live action anime series of little women. i'm pretty sure it is "true to the book" too unlike a certain katharine hepburn film version i saw when i was very little and the realization that beth dies really fucked with me.

also wtf japan, out of all the things you make television series about?

My friend Jason's mom went to the video store to get us a cartoon and returned with "Watership Down." We were eight.

This went v. poorly.

Also "Brave Little Toaster" was great, also "Tiny Toons: How I Spent My summer Vacation", which is criminally unavailable on DVD.

Land Before Time VI Released Straight To Landfill

HOLLYWOOD, CA–In a gala Hollywood burial, The Land Before Time VI: The Secret Of Saurus Rock, the latest installment in Universal Pictures' and Amblin Entertainment's long-running animated series, was released straight to landfill Tuesday. "For the first time ever, we're bypassing video stores and taking this beloved Don Bluth family adventure series directly to its biggest market," Universal Pictures spokesperson Marianne Fordson said. More than 250,000 copies of The Land Before Time VI were released from a dumptruck and buried under 950 tons of dirt and refuse in the L.A. Department of Sanitation's dump site in Hollywood. "Join us in welcoming this funny, heartwarming dino-tale to the bottom of an enormous mound of trash," read a press release for the film.

BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER WAS FUCKING GREBT

re Tiny Toons: I still use "The Happy-Go-Pukey" joke to describe state fair rattle rides.

Also, the only "kiddie" movie I know of that makes multiple Deliverance references.

Fern Gully sounds like a euphemism for some sort of mossy vaginal infection.

I cannot believe you all made it this far without mentioning that one of the characters in ferngully is voiced by TONE LOC

surely that counts for something

what about the Peanuts movies, and the constant downers they were?

Guys, I think something is seriously wrong with me, I dont think I have ever seen ANY OF THESE MOVIES. WTF.

They weren't exactly BIG HITS in America.

Also I suspect all these movies are from at least the mid to late 80s if not later, I was in late high school by then, fuck a cartoon mermaid. Wait, wrong thread?

Haha, all that thread is ABOUT is fucking a cartoon mermaid.

lol at fucking troll in central park. i think that may have been the first movie i recognized as shitty

I saw this bizarre Japanese animated version of Jack and the Beanstalk as a kid. It had a really creepy scene in it where there was a witch who made paper cut-out people and then summoned them to life and they sang a creepy gothy song in a cathedral. I can't have been more than 8 when I saw it.

Suddenly my whole life makes sense.

I made a bad stop-motion of Jack & the Beanstalk once. I indicated Jack was looking at the sky by moving his one clay eyeball up to the very top of his red sperical head. The giant was Sting, whose 'big enough umbrella' was causing the valley drought. Jack stopped him by reciting some Shakespeare to him & then they did archery together. (All the dialogue was conveyed with title cards.)

Hahahaha awesome! :D

OK, this was what I tried to post before. This movie flipped me out as a kid. And look at that A-list cast . . .

Hugo seems very fleshy. I think I remember seeing part of that on TV.

Now this one I do remember:

http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeVideoArt/22/203222.jpg

You guys have NO IDEA how strongly I wish to see Hugo the Hippo.

I want to see Water Babies again! I remember having a very strange reaction to it as a kid. The idea of living under water did.... funny things to me. Er.

Hugo looks like Babar meets Yellow Submarine!

There is a great description of Hugo the Hippo here.

"But drugs or no drugs... my God! How can I describe this living oxymoron, that being a real hallucination? Where to start? How about with the Marie Osmond-sung opening song:

Do you know the way to tell a story that's true
From the stories that never took place?
Well, when a story's so strange that if it never happened
No one could ever think it up
Then it is true

A story so strange no one could ever make it up has to be true
Has to be true
Now, you ask what difference does it make in the end
If you believe a strange story or no (sic)
If you accept a strange story told to you as true
Then a certain enlightenment comes to you
It comes to you
A certain enlightenment comes when a story that's told to you
Is really true
This story is really true
It's really true

..."

That reads like fucked up 70s sesame st logic.

Re: Japanese animated Jack and the Beanstalk - my sister has that film on DVD. I think it's available from Amazon.com. It's pretty crazy. The creepy gothic song you mention is sung by a paper cut out person that's supposed to be a priest. Also the main song ("No One's Happer Than I") completely rips off "Top Of The World" by the Carpenters.

you are all forgetting one thing:

let me be your rooster

i think i've seen at least 40% of the movies mentioned here at the dollar theater.

they don't bother releasing most of these theatrically anymore though, do they?

also fun fact: harry dean stanton provided the singing voice for braveheart in the care bears movie

Hey what was that movie where Rodney Dangerfield was an animated dog?

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/e/e4/250px-Movie_poster_rover_dangerfield.JPG

The Dog Who Gets No Respect

curt1s 8080

bwahahaha

dude looks like he's peeling the flesh from his neck wtf kinda movie is this

He's just trading bright lights for barnyard laughs.

people don't care about the rainforest or manatees anymore

:(

the 2nd carebears movie was good, too, mostly because its about kids AT CAMP!!

the second Care Bears movie is the one I remember most. I think I actually remember that growing-up song.

WAIT A SECOND, I HAD NO IDEA THAT ROVER DANGERFIELD MOVIE EXISTED. THAT LOOKS LIKE A MUST SEE.

i dont know HOW but i could watch basically any movie i wanted when i was a kid, my parents didn't pay attention at all to what they were checking out at blockbuster, but i totally saw cool world and was sooo disappointed because it turned out to be a real movie and not really a cartoon that much.

Second Care Bears movie was the best because it had a variety of Care Animals and they were all cute.
