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

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

jessie monster, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:21 (sixteen years ago) link

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."

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:22 (sixteen years ago) link

things never really go right for little jewish cartoon mice

ghost rider, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:22 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

jessie monster, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:22 (sixteen years ago) link

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

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.

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

nickalicious, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:24 (sixteen years ago) link

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

and what, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:25 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:25 (sixteen years ago) link

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

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

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

Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link

rly coz I thought it was pretty shitty

Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

nickalicious, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:27 (sixteen years ago) link

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?

milo z, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:27 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:27 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

nickalicious, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:27 (sixteen years ago) link

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

jessie monster, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:27 (sixteen years ago) link

wait MY little brother loved land before time

ghost rider, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:28 (sixteen years ago) link

he had all the fucking video sequels

ghost rider, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:28 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

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

xpost ok and one upon a forest looks crappy too

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 13 June 2007 19:29 (sixteen years ago) link

They weren't exactly BIG HITS in America.

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 22:02 (sixteen years ago) link

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

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

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link

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

A B C, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 22:09 (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.)

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 22:32 (sixteen years ago) link

Hahahaha awesome! :D

Trayce, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 22:35 (sixteen years ago) link

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

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

Abbott, Thursday, 14 June 2007 01:11 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

Trayce, Thursday, 14 June 2007 01:17 (sixteen years ago) link

Hugo looks like Babar meets Yellow Submarine!

Curt1s Stephens, Thursday, 14 June 2007 01:17 (sixteen years ago) link

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

..."

Abbott, Thursday, 14 June 2007 01:19 (sixteen years ago) link

That reads like fucked up 70s sesame st logic.

Trayce, Thursday, 14 June 2007 01:46 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

Chriddof, Thursday, 14 June 2007 05:29 (sixteen years ago) link

latebloomer, Thursday, 14 June 2007 05:36 (sixteen years ago) link

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

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

homosexual II, Thursday, 14 June 2007 13:48 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Curt1s Stephens, Thursday, 14 June 2007 13:49 (sixteen years ago) link

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

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 14 June 2007 13:53 (sixteen years ago) link

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.
