Christmas in New York (Mondo World) - Phelous 

Every native New Yorker knows that it’s such a small place that everyone knows each other.

I met him when I was there touring the city.

Aw, ha ha ha, ohhh.

hes my dogs third cousin once removed, we're practically family

Yeah I was born in Buffalo , everyone knows Fox.

I laughed my ASS off won that line read!

King: "I certainly can!" And then he launched his entire nuclear stock pile sterilizing the planet of all evil forever. That's why I'm telling you this story from our space station containing the last flickers of human life in the universe.

Manuela: "Yes, yes, the line was REALLY awkward. Sometimes you get a role you're not particularly proud of." Byleth: "..." Manuela: "Ah, well, let's not dwell on the past like that. Merry Christmas, Darling."

For later use: 7:57

Coinicidentally, Ash is in a new recent Pokemon movie where he meets a boy living in the jungle.

Nuke it from orbit. You may fire when ready

What horror did they bring upon these cursed lands?

Nobody: Film Theory: "IS GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REIGHNDEER IN THE SAME UNIVERSE AS THIS ITALIAN SHOW?"

@@JackedThor-so Would that not make sense?

So, it has become a franchise, after all...

The things voice actors do for a paycheck!

It's pretty depressing, actually. It's like when they're booked for conventions they essentially tell everyone to NOT go into the field, but very subtly and nuanced. Basically saying that you don't go in just being an anime dubbing star, you kind of have to do really stupid stuff, and said stupid stuff pays more than the anime gigs do. I forget his name, but the guy who played Jammerhead in TMNT Fast Forward kept telling those stories every time he was booked.

@@mightyfilm Maybe some of these people could get more jobs if the same people didn't hog all the good jobs, like how Troy Baker has to get in every videogame ever.

In the realm of voice acting, you get what you can get. That's what they always say when they have panels at conventions. It's very competitive and there's always that one guy who can't act that can do like ONE imitation that asks them for advice, and that's when you can tell the union VA's from the non-union VA's. The union guys will always go "sure, follow your dreams," the non-union guys will be like "uhhhhh.... that's...that's cute." And while there are cases of non-union VA's starting out and then becoming bigger names in the dubbing business, there seems to be a fear of going into said unions and not being hired much and losing their lower paying dub work.

They were getting some bigger names in the dubbing world at that convention right up until we couldn't have them any more (Max Mittelman was scheduled for last year), so I haven't seen Tom Wayland at one of those in a while. He's the one that usually talks about all the things besides the anime he has to dub and direct. His panels were very interesting, if splashing cold water on wannabe voice actor dreams.

...Prancer.

Donder!

Beetle from Christmas brigade

Burton ?

It's so bizarre tho that it's actually fun to watch.

So, only Naked Snake could survive this cartoon.

I’ve survived the jungle hell that is The Star Wars Holiday special. This experience is equally as bizarre.

@@shenloken2 I hate saying this, but the Star Wars holiday special had a more cohesive narrative. I feel so dirty having said that.

I liken it to a bad fever dream

I can relate! It’s like when I mixed my X Men and Jurassic Park toys with my sister’s Littlest Pet Shop toys to have them go on random adventures when I was a kid! Fun in real life. Not to so much fun though to make a movie about it!

I can totally create a scene in my head: A writer of the movie has no inspiration whatsoever. Then (s)he watches a child playing and makes a movie script around it.

@Aly H I was talking about Christmas in New York.

It honestly reminds me of the fanfics I’m ashamed to have written in jr high. Fun to have worked on; not as much fun to look back on.

@@tfmaster96 You're right it does! Ugh I'm cringing right now from flashbacks of that time.

Such a cute doggo though

But much welcomed

Very cute puppy

Cute doggo

That is one fluffy chihuahua

😂

Thought the same thing! I swear that company did it on purpose...

@@ultraturbojack2926 weii it does mean 'color' in Korean, but i think you are right anyway :)

You know, if you only turn the sound on at 13:28, it might as well be sex studio.

Might as well with the weird stranger danger characters. But whatever floats North Koreans boat...

Yeah, and even when they have not, the intellectual depth of their dialogue holds you over. 😉

@@fermintenava5911 true, Dingo's dialogue suddenly sounds far smarter and more insightful than "Huuuuuuh" "Ahhhh" "Ooooo" "Haaaaah!" "Oooooh" :D

Jungle bunny's

But do they have SEMI-functioning animation with slightly original-ISH character models that have a LITTLE BIT of fluid movements occasionally?? Thought not

Although I will admit the photo shopped in pics of the toys was a pretty Dingo-y move 🤣

They were also involved with Samurai Cop!

yeah Mondo studio was behind those. And the animated series. Yes. Animated Series.

The animation studio that worked for Mondo also made that propaganda cartoon series popular with furries because of the fox character, but that was an exclusively North Korean thing, without the involvement of Mondo.

@@ginogatash4030 I know I watch Saberspark too

@@koichidignitythief7429 I saw stuff about the North Korean cartoon before Saberspark, but I guess he's one of the more popular guys who talked about it.

Eh makes sense, football/ Soccer is not a contact sport unless you’re goalie

I think you mean Mondo World *and* SEK Studios.

Hold my clipart beer

At least Dingo did insult Titanic survivors

@@annien7831 Oh no, it's the duplication animation error! ITS HITTING COMMENTS NOW! @Annien Oh no, it's the duplication animation error! ITS HITTING COMMENTS NOW!

steins

Wabuu: Oh, I don't think soooo!

I think some of the mice from those appear in other series. Also the Octopus has a series about it.

@@phelous Please tell me you'll review it.

Given that several characters change names between those movies: Baron Van Der Tilt/Maltravers, Razorteeth/Ice, Tentacles/Otti. It’s safe to say those movies are their own brand of madness.

I just treat it like alternate universes, because the continuity gets wacky if look into the jungle book and simba where Sher Khan died in the jungle book but appears in Simba and Golden child.

I don't think the Titanic movies actually fit in with the "Simba Extended Universe" or whatever you wanna call the four shows that comprise it. And yes, there were four. Winner and the Golden Child was actually a crossover between the Simba continuity and-I kid you not-a Sleeping Beauty show.

Amen.

What about Robin? Answer: Robin isn't your friend. He said: "I think we should be enemies."

He can say "SEK STUDIO" without laughing, of course he is tough.

This movie and the show look *horrible!!* Like, it's trying to be anime and Disney at the same time, but it's Italian.

Nah, that part of his brain that should be telling him to stop got burnt out when he realized Dingo Pictures named the crocodile Dundee.

The madness of this holiday special is almost Lovevcraftian!

Take one Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" and call me in the morning.

Don’t forget spark plug and The Asylum

Throw in Bevenfield for good measure.

Throw in Golden Films and Jetlag Productions for great measure as well!

And Aladdin and the Adventure of All Time was the antichrist who summoned them.

And Wolf Tracer, known for Rapsittie Street Kids

I seriously can't wait for him to review the Hunchback version Mondo made. It's.... oh god.

@@Annausagi2 Phelous has a lot of content to make out of Mondo. Every one of their movies and shows is like a fever dream. This studio is also the studio that made the animated Titanic movies for a reference

Apparently cause he’s bri’ish

So to explain, North Korean schools teach the kids NOT American English, but British English.

@@kikiyoshimura3770 Facts!

And I mean seriously, idk how many documentaries I had found where North Korean teachers have said this

@@kikiyoshimura3770 the animation was done in North Korea, not the script or voice acting.

It is it's mentioned in the imdb page

Tentacolino and In Search of the Titanic are. Titanic: The Legend "Of The Rapping Dog" Goes On thankfully is not tied to SEK.

Didn't SEK also make that Squirrel and Hedgehog propaganda TV series for North Korea? Yeah. There's connections between Vixen the evil fox lady and Tentacles the dog-faced octopus.

@@ArendAlphaEagle Squirrel and Hedgehog is quite good compared to Mondo products.

@@ArendAlphaEagle That's actually their primary artistic output outside of their stuff for Mondo.

In the equally immortal words of Homer Simpson: "It's just a bunch of stuff that happened."

Me (In the immortal words of Ralph Wiggum): "duck, duck, duck, duck" You (In the immortal words of Grant): "What you said didn't really add much." (guncock) Me (In the immortal words of Cletus): "I know. I just wanted to belong." (guncock)

In the words of Steve Martin in Planes Trains & Automobiles "Here's a good idea, have a point. It makes it so much easier for the listener!"

Mah God!

Kimba the Lion White

@@omnimonramone8459 HMMMM... SUSPICIOUS

Simba the lion and the king King MAGAWD: "MAGAWD!"

Some say Mondo was the Italian version of Dingo

That explains all the obvious Disney ripoff characters.

And squirrels and hedgehog

Mondo is also the one that produced Puppy in my pocket and Princess Sissi.

*No* this is a mine that needs to be sealed for the good of mankind.

My money is on Blood Bush.

Blood Bush

...Mrs. Hopewell????

Demon Tree

Blood Bush. Dingo FTW.

He should get some Bimbo bread and cookies as a reward. Yes, that is a thing.

@@dubuyajay9964 I never heard of those, do they taste good? 😂

@@aiyannaboykins7888 Yes. :-/

@@dubuyajay9964 ... I shan't ask where the yeast for that bread comes from

@@ember9361 Myeesss. :-/

they really said, ACAB

It really makes you appreciate her great voice acting.

Exactly what is the point of all this stuff anyway~?

"New-style" Ari sounds like an alien...

JonTron: t-titanic.

@@dragonempress8367 can't forget the flying eggplant

@@masterfarr8265 Man, 1910 times was ScAaAaAaAaAaRy!!

OH YEEESSSSSS

Yoyoyo! Look at mah teeth!

Totally

I like how the Dog Catcher has a Normal Non Ugly Family

I've seen and experienced weirder.

Being with Phelous makes it special though.

@@dubuyajay9964 agreed

yup

At least they’re tracings r somewhat animated unlike ANOTHER certain company we know....!!!

"Bimbo" is also a rip-off of Bambi, which is more obvious in the "Simba the King Lion" show where he's a fawn.

Let's also not forget the totally "not" copy and pasted jpgs of Mickey & Minnie Mouse and Winnie the Pooh plushies

Well, Angels Friends is pretty good in a "So Bad it's Good" way

I don't know, Saber seems to think Dingo is far worse

Now we need all 3 to review something regarding Mondo together and the unholy trinity will be complete

Something WORSE THAN DINGO????

@@wastelandlegocheem Not animation-wise, but in terms of sheer length

🤣

Fun fact, Veronica Taylor cites Speed Racer character Spritle as an influence for her little boy voices.

If Mondo made a movie of just "ahhh haha oooohhh ahhhh ooh hahahaha" it would be a porno

@@1000huzzahs Spritle is hilarious.

He'sgoingoverthatcliff-AHH!

Omg i was looking for this lmao. as a speed fan yes the dub is a lot like this movie

That's indeed her.

ComicsNix fanfictions, even!

This is the My Immortal of holiday specials.

And that's sad...

Ash: I don't talk about him..... He has issues

Gotta say though that dialogue in Ash's voice is absolute gold.

Well you never see Ash's father, right? It's because he's off being a king in where ever the Mondoverse is

@@flightlesschicken7769 Of course, that explains so much!

Yes!! Let’s pressure the Phelan to plough through those ghastly offensive titanic-themed beasts!!

they're not the ones behind the script or anything, they just did the animation...

Same animation studio.

R we sure that this animation studio is not just a cover for one big acid outlet?? 🤪😈 like great advertisement for trippy times lol

Same companies made both (mondo tv and North Korea)

Exact same animation studio

Same people 😅

And in that cartoon the only issue the other characters have is "You can't be with a dog!" They have no concern about the age difference...

@@shwahgamer Pedophilia and racism. You know, for kids!

Wait I thought Simba's daughter was in love with winner the small white dog who is still an adult did they change his name between series

She and the mouse showgirl from Great Mouse detective were busy with other gigs and Panthy charged too much

@@Tareltonlives Showgirl Mouse remains one of the weirdest "that actually happened?" moments from childhood movies. For a while I was convinced that was part of an elaborate furry fanfiction.

That's sounds about right!

Saberspark: “What’s going on!?” *about to lose it by eternally screaming*

I mean it has a international population of over a million people, so number game and all that.

I mean it’s possible yesh

Can you image Mondo tv?

Mondo TV is responsible for the beloved Zorro anime _Kaiketsu Zorro_ This was back in the mid-90s when North Korea wasn't involved.

He is not ready for what is to come.

@@ZER0O9 Hey, that. Mondo TV. Cartoon is waiting? For Phelous? *page flip* *Exit Scene*

I've grown up on it and am used to it but it still never stopped sounding awkward and annoying.

They did that to fill in the blanks for the mouth flaps right?

@@Zxzero36 Yep.

Like, in Japanese characters do make weird unnecessary noises, but it's not that often or bad. BUT oh man, english dubs....I couldn't stand watching most anime until I got in college and started watching things subbed...It was like oh yeah, they keep going "mmmm, ah, oh, uuuuhhh" to fill in mouth flaps, Jesus, nice to not hear that anymore.

Watch an English dub but don't look at the screen. The parts with the "oohhh!" and "aaahhhhh!" get really bizarre... And can come across as sexual sounds. They do happen in the original dubs too, but not as often.

"I'M A VENTRILOQUIST, TOO."

Usual when we deal with dubs.

Well, it is a vast upgrade from how DINGO handles uh.....lip syncing....!!!??

That is a big oof from me!

Merry Christmas! Try not to rot too many braincells watching this movie or Rapsittie Street Kids

@@sonicfangal2000 i watch only dingo picture movies ;)

@@georgerhodes6129 Ohhh I see you're a man of culture as well

I think it appears in some older videos too

@@limalepakko6074 I've seen most of his videos. I remember a couple cats but no dogs

@@flightlesschicken7769 he's in the garfield and friends halloween review.

@@rhett8819 I'll have to check that out. I might have just forgot but thanks for the information

Name is Moki, I think

At least marvel movies were (most of the time) solid watches.

maybe Gandalf came by, and exorcised the corrupting influence out of him.

He also either regrew teeth or got implants or dentures...

We’ve all been there

This cinematic universe is written like someone's giant crossover fanfiction of all their favorite movies, shows, sports, etc. Where they have this "brilliant" idea to shove all these things in a blender and make a huge story about it. But the writer is also like 10 so they have no idea what they're doing.

SEK Studio and DIC Entertainment, the ultimate fusion

Jenna!? What are you doing here?!?

At least Kingdom hearts isn’t a dozen shows 😂

@@gracekim25 and Kingdom Hearts try’s to keep a tight continuity between games. Mondos works seem to only have a rough idea of what happened in between their shows.

WOW. Irony by accident.

Great! A ripoff of a ripoff... We all know that W.i.t.c.h. is superior to both shows

@@nostalgiaworks5999 winx's pilot was from 1999 tho.

@@nostalgiaworks5999 I think Winx was in production before WITCH's first issue. I still love both.

@@twilightozzylovelyrockocip8222 I knew that, but I love spitting salt

They give a crap about animation quality, certainly more than Dingo... But then again, they care less than Dingo when it comes to making basic sense.

Check out Guy DeLisle’s “Pyongyang”: he’s a Québécois animator who lived in NK for two months to oversee a SEK animation team. He drew and wrote the graphic novel describing his (mis?)adventures, including stuff about his career.

@@rezalustig6773 I've heard about that.

@@rezalustig6773 Hey, can you explain how it work when people visit North Korea. Ive seriously been curious of the fact its possible and wanted to know how you keep safe, etc.

@@Jude300c I’ve never been, but one would typically go sponsored by either their employer and the NK government jointly, or one of the tour groups approved by the NK government. Most transportation seems to involve flying into Pyongyang from China. It has been possible for US citizens to visit, but I’m not sure if that applies to date. As for safety, that’s mostly a given because your movement would be monitored and controlled as much as possible. Guy Delisle basically had to go everywhere with a government-assigned translator and driver. If you’re with a tour group, there’s a set itinerary of activities and visits the government wants you to stick to (picked for propaganda value, like museums about the Korean War). You’re probably safe as long as you don’t get any bright ideas about going out of the hotel on your own, playing any pranks or making clever remarks about NK or the Kim dynasty. Oh, and from what I’ve seen/read, it seems to be a tradition to bring a gift for your chaperones (preferably some kind of luxury liquor and/or cigarettes; both North and South Koreans drink like fish and smoke like chimneys).

@@rezalustig6773 Thanks for sharing that. I imagine the smokes and drink is something the individual can atleast automomous control over. Ive looked at pictures and saw that NK is definitely beautiful

MUGAHD!!!!

I'm not sure if he truly did, though. I mean, I don't think I would have.

That makes a lot of sense now

Nah. Pot just makes you goofy and giggly if not paranoid or talking about what cartoon characters you want to bang. I'd say this is more a combination of cocaine and bath salts while chugging absinthe with a severe head injury after invasive dental surgery keeping them awake at 3AM after weeks of sleep deprivation while there's a gas leak.

@@mightyfilm Yeah, crack was it!

So you hope we all have a generic, badly animated Christmas and new year?

FOR YOU!!!

Is that "Phelan! Oh, my God!" a reference to his Mr. Hyde review? If so, congratulations for the obscure reference!

@@Alejandroigarabide It is indeed.

@@TheRoflcer Then you are a person of culture, fellow fan.

@@Alejandroigarabide yay!😂❤
