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.

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.

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?
― Trayce, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 22:06 (sixteen years ago) link

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.
― Trayce, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 22:16 (sixteen years ago) link
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.)

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

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

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.

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.
― homosexual II, Thursday, 14 June 2007 13:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Second Care Bears movie was the best because it had a variety of Care Animals and they were all cute.
