The great thing about Don Bluth is he owns his mistakes on this movie. He doesn't try to shift blame, even though he could try to blame it on how the studio decided to only release it in like 100 theaters around the whole country, which absolutely played into it being such a bomb. He acknowledges every mistake he made in production, says why he thought it was a good idea and then how he sees that it really wasn't. He talks about this film as a very important lesson in his career. He is not ashamed of it, because the experience was very important for what it taught him.
Ways they could have so damn easily made the kissing scene less creepy: 1. Make Stanley a child character too with a child's voice, so he doesn't seem like some weird drunk uncle spending awkward alone-time with strangers' kids under a bridge. 2. Make her kiss him on the cheek, not the goddamn mouth. Some adults do in fact peck their kids on the lips, but it seems excessive to me, especially in this context. 3. Make him be all childishly happy like "Oh, you want to be my friend? Nobody's ever been my friend before!", rather than reacting with a cartoon steamy train noise of arousal and ejecting ecstatically into the air like some kind of uncomfortable euphemism. Maybe we just have dirty minds to interpret it so badly, but then again everyone reacting in this video clearly thought it was a demented scene too lol.
Most generously this is a case of cheesy animated tropes being thrown together without much thought, like the rest of this movie. "Girl characters kiss guys as a token of appreciation, right? And then the guy gets excited, right? Cool, next scene."
@@fatcat1414 Haha yep, that's the best-case scenario. That whoever was behind that part was just plain derping too much to notice how creepy it would end up looking.
@@fatcat1414 My thoughts as well (and also what I'm hoping), considering that Don Bluth has talked about how his movies had been heavily taken over by executives in the past. Best case scenario, it's just another executive out of touch on how to write characters interactions. Worst case scenario...yeah... 0_0
He could still eject into the air, but have him like...jumping for joy and then just BOING into the air at mach speed so it's cartoony and innocent. It might help make the movie work better if he's a kid. Maybe have him be related to Gnorgha (Gnorga? Gnorg'a?) and she's disappointed in him because unlike other trolls his age he's a giggly, flower-loving pacifist whose magical powers are all related to peace and flowers. She doesn't want to kill him because he IS family, but doesn't want him around mucking up the family name either, so she has him banished (maybe with the hope that spending all the time around rock and stone with humans and human trash might toughen him up).
It's like eating a kilogram of candy floss at both ages. You don't feel the effects too badly until after you're done when you're young, but when you're an adult, it's a pyrrhic victory to even finish half the lot.
My mentor when I was studying animation in college told me that he worked on this film as an assistant animator (he mainly animated for Disney, but also was an in-betweener on Rock a Doodle). He told me it was one of the worst films he ever worked on... I brought it up because I always used to enjoy watching this and Rock a Doodle as a young kid... He said "That just proves to me that kids'll watch anything" lol
To be fair, as crazy and bad rock-a-doodle is, it still is *far* more entretaining than A Troll in Central Park. Like, at least it had something resembling a plot. I also had Rock-a-doodle as a kid, such a nostalgic fever dream
I really want to know more about the behind the scenes about this movie, but Bluth seems to be so ashamed of this one that he rarely talks about it, as least as far as I can tell. Like what happened? Was the script not done? Apparently it had been finished for two years by the time it was released but no one wanted to distribute it, Warner Brothers agreed to do it along with Thumbelina but even they had no faith in this movie so gave it a very limited release. Also, I got curious and looked up the assistant animators on this, was is Randy Sanchez, Tim George or Johan Klingler?
@@trustno173 I wish I could tell you more about it but it was a very one and done conversation about his time with Bluth. He was much more interested in talking about the Disney films he worked on. It was Tim George by the way. Somewhat of a relative so I was able to reach out to him when I was studying. Nice guy, really good at what he does and gave me a lot of great feedback and assistance on my thesis short film.
I still have a massive soft spot for Thumbalina because of my weird fascination with tiny characters using/interacting with our everyday objects. Using a shoe as a bed, a feather as a broom, or a sword as a bridge, for some reason I love these types of things. I just think it's neat.
Agreed. Thumbalina is one of the famous Don Bluth films that I grew up with and have a soft spot for since it was my favorite out of the ones I have seen.
I mean, Thumbalina isn't great, but it _definitely_ isn't anywhere near as bad as this. At the end of the day, Thumbalina is still what I'd call a real movie. A Troll in Central Park is kind of like the Teletubbies; meaningless flashes of color and sound.
Yeah, it's always fun to see how miniature characters would interact in a human sized world, can lead to some very fun imagery! Many Don Bluth films I watched plenty as a kid, including some more infamous ones. Going back as an adult, I still have a soft spot for weaker works like Thumbelina, Rock-a-doodle, and Pebble and the Penguin. This one? God no lol
Okay, I've come up with a plot they could have used for this: Labyrinth-ripoff where the little sis gets kidnapped by the Trolls and the brother has to go rescue her by wandering through an alternate/fantasy version of Central Park. Stanley is a chaotic neutral who takes the girl to his world because he's lonely and wants someone to play with but then loses her to the Troll queen, the boy has to team up with Stanley to traverse the world but Stanley's own careless attitude towards everything makes the boy realize he needs to be less self-centered and more responsible and actual character development happens, in the end they save the sis and get out and the kids wake up under a bridge to find their parents, who were looking for them the whole time and we get a nice maybe it was all just a dream or was it ending where the bridge is now covered in flowers.
This is literally just Smash Ultimate’s World of Light situation all over again. Neither troll in this movie is good, and just want to take over the world XD
He probably let his powers get out of control without realizing it, but yeah, that ending really wasn’t well thought out. Just like the rest of this movie.
Aw, I relate to Saber's school story. I was bullied too, so no matter what I brought to school kids would make fun of it, songs, movies, books, toys, foods. One time I brought my PSP and everyone called it dumb, a couple months later everyone watched one of the bullies play his own PSP and called it amazing all day long.
I feel you. I was very close to my 2nd oldest brother growing up, so did a lot of "boy stuff" that the other girls picked on me for (Marvel cards, video games, TMNT, Legos, etc.). I'm happy that these things are now more accepted, but man it's hard to get over the annoyance of getting brutally bullied as a little girl for the things that are popular now. Ah, well. I'm glad people are enjoying them, I guess.
I got bullied several times at one of the middle schools i attended and that’s where i learned to laugh things off and make jokes at my own expense, it doesn’t work for everyone and you shouldn’t always resort to it depending on the situation but i found it helps me still
I guess semi related, but this reminded me of one time when I was playing on my gameboy a boy came over to me and said it was illegal for me to play it and I had to play a gamegirl. 😂
I always hated how little story/dialogue is actually in this movie. And the parents are so neglectful. Letting two kids under the age of 7 run around 90’s New York is ridiculous.
Don Bluth's movies worked better when they were mature and dark with his usual cute character to balance things out. like Ducky and Spike in Land Before Time. he treated children more maturely, and I really appreciate that because it gives me something to come back to when I'm an adult. I loved how Secret of NIMH and Land Before Time both looked like they took place after the apocalypse. as if Chernobyl moved to The Black Lands of Mordor. I wish they had stayed to this style. it really set them apart from Disney.
I’ve also noticed that these kids have such a hard time walking. Like they have leg weights, gravity is increased, and the entire ground is slicked with oil or something. They got no traction on any surface when they walk.
Rosie just looks like the kid wandering around WalMart with a full load in her diaper and her mom doesn’t do anything about it. So basically, every toddler in WalMart.
Same. I didn't grow up with but I watched it in the late 2000s since I remember seeing it in some video stores, a couple guys I followed at the time remember it, and of course the Nostalgia Critic episode. I ended up liking the movie and I consider it the strangest phase in my life where at the time, I wanted to increase the movie's popularity by using it in memes and the sorts. That didn't happen and while I know the movie is extremely flawed, I still can't hate it. I just can't. Also, Peepers the mouse is the best character and an underappreciated waifu. :3 I did have A Troll in Central Park as a kid though and I'm fine with people shitting on it, even though I kinda relate to Gus and Rosie in the movie because I was a little boy looking after my baby sister at the time.
Besides Fievel Goes West, Rock-A-Doddle is my second favorite Don Bluth movie ever (Thumbelina and Anastasia coming in behind them). I watched Rock-A-Doddle so much as a toddler that my parents STILL quote "I don't wanna LOSE mah money~" to this day and I'm going to be 34 this year 😂
Bro imagine being a sick, poor, or normal child before an accident who's last movie ever was Troll in Central Park. The fact that this could have occurred is honestly such a sour thought.
Bad film or not, so long as the child still got some enjoyment out of watching it, it’s not so bad of a thought. There are worse films for a dying child to see.
@@geoffreyrichards6079 That's fair. I suppose it would be worse for someone older anyways. Usually by that time in one's life though, a bad movie is ironic enjoyment anyways. Plus it isn't really a harmful movie even if not the best in any respect, so a movie about life is probably a bit more uplifting than a darker movie in a darker time.
28:27 I adore this movie as a kid. But when rewatching it with an older mindset, my internal dialog was screaming Amber Alert! LOL This movie has not age well.
@@ShellySwirl the Troll is talking to the little girl and saying, "I'm not like other trolls. I'm good." If we were to change the situation a little bit, let's say the child in question got into an argument with their parents and left the house or ran away from them. If an adult with ulterior motives found a child and said child says something like "adults are stupid. They're all bad," and the adult goes, "I'm not like your parents. I'm a good adult," that kid may never be seen again. Especially since "stranger danger" was a huge thing back then, they did not think that scene through. What happens if the kid equates such an interaction with a strange adult like between the little girl and the troll? Just blindly trust them because the movie showed that and it was all fine.
I watched it at my grandma's house as well - and even at like five years old, I had a precocious spark, thinking "what on earth is this crap? Aren't movies supposed to be fun to watch?"
@@WasatchWind Same. My grandpa & step-grandma had a bunch of odd movies for us grandkids when we went over to their place and this was the best out of the bunch. I can't even remember what the others were. I think some of them were obscured christian movies for kids.
Don Bluth had some brilliant films when he was given full control. The quality of his movies fluctuated wildly depending on how much studio interference there was. If the studio demanded something and wouldn't let Bluth be creative, we end up with Thumbelina, Troll in Central Park and Rock-a-Doodle. When left to his own devices, we get A Land Before Time, An American Tale and The Secret of Nimh.
@Matthew Moran yeah. But even a broken clock is right twice a day, as the saying goes. Different people in charge of the films could cause the quality to vary wildly as well. Who knows
Except A Troll In Central Park's badness was not due to studio restrictions. It was the last movie Don Bluth had near-full creative control before The Pebble and the Penguin, which was so tightly controlled (likely because of Troll's failure at the box office), Don asked to not be credited as director, since he didn't see it as his work. He still considered Troll _his_ work and had his name on it. Don, like the best artists, need a balance of creative freedom, but also necessary restrictions. You restrict a vision too much, you can't have what you want properly fleshed out. You give too much freedom over a vision, you have no focus on what is important and necessary. It's why his earliest movies and Anastasia were so good; he had people willing to work with him, but also willing to put their hands in the pot when needed.
I don't know about that, Bluth parted way with Spielberg because he didn't like Spielberg interfering and changing things on Land Before Time and American Tale. Makes you wonder if he regrets that.
@@BriannaBow Don't take this as 100% cuz I saw it a while ago but I think the voice actress for the little girl was murdered? By her own father? And it was like one of her last gigs or something? Think she voiced in LBT too. Idk it's been a minute I'd go search it for yourself.
@@Mr.StickxBear1987 She was indeed the original voice of Ducky. Her mother was also murdered and I believe it was a murder/suicide situation if I remember from the news article I read a few years ago.
Whenever I see this movie. I always think of the 1991 animated movie; The Princess and the Goblin. Where a princess and her friend must overcome a horrible threat burrowing its way beneath the castle. If you've never seen it Saber. I'd highly recommend giving it a watch sometime. I'm sure you'd like it more then this.
It's definitely a better film, and actually has a coherent plot, plus the movie having a really cheesy ending makes sense since the goblins are actually weak to music, it's genius
Definitely agree! Man, you just helped me remember watching The Princess and the Goblin as a kid, hadn't seen or heard of it since then (until now)! ^^
Omg when I was younger I thought this movie was a fever dream, I then thought it was Disney the black cauldron, after some digging I FINALLY found the princess and the goblin and it wasn’t a dream lol
Omg I still have the VHS of that movie! I even still remember the commercials from the VHS. One of them is a berry cereal commercial and the other was connected to the movie promoting some device to help find people. Something like Life Alert.
I think Don Bluth himself said something about parents complaining that his older films were too dark for children, thus inspiring this production. That information I acquired somewhere on the internet, in perhaps more places than one, is blurry in my memory, even though I think I heard it from a RU-vidr years ago. The RU-vidr did quote Bluth in that vid, but again, I remember nothing exactly. If I remember correctly, he made this film out of spite, which makes this film a literal troll. Don't quote me on this. However, it makes sense regarding the situation, and everything about the film points to this conclusion quite powerfully. In other words, you would say (with all things considered) with 85% certainty that this is a spite movie.
OK, shoutout to the person in chat who dropped the sickest burn I've ever seen: "It's like the Elsagate videos but with a budget" And the runner-up, who said this is what happens when whimsy is designed by committee.
growing up is realizing that stanley absolutely had a body count by the end of the movie. RIP every background character with a pollen allergy and the countless victims of the mix of suddenly slippery roads and vehicles, hazards hidden under a layer of plantlife, and whatever other horrible accidents would involve a whole city being suddenly overtaken by magical, potentially invasive and/or hostile, weeds. the humidity in that city is gonna skyrocket along with the mosquito popular, dear god
At first when I read the comment I had no idea what you meant, but then I immediately looked up after reading just to see a ball flying towards the tower and I literally said woah exactly when saber yelled. The timing is just too perfect 😅. ( I'm laughing at the timing, not the other reason. I'm not that insane)
@@iamnotthatguy7166 I’m aware it was pre-9/11, I was a kid when this movie came out. But that scene obviously feels weird now that it’s post-9/11, particularly since I haven’t seen it in 25+ years so I forgot it was even in the movie.
The reason it feels wrong is simple: it doesn't hold up to Don bluths standard for storytelling. His entire motto was "A child can handle anything as long as there's a happy ending" Most of his stories deal with with extreme themes like death,immigration,crime.even lighter toned movies had a slight bite to it. Because they're structured like old fashioned FAIRY TALES. Not DISNEY fairy tales, we're talking "Ariel turning to seafood after being told to kill her love" or "Snow whites step mother dancing in burning iron shoes" and "Cinderellas step sister getting their eyes pecked out". They're well known fairytales cause quite literally CENTURIES of children where told these stories. Don bluths animations followed the same structures of showing dark consequences and concepts to kids,but give the ending happy endings. Fivel suffered for weeks learning about the reality of life as an immigrant before he found his family. Littlefoot went on a harrowing journey that had themes of loss and death looking for paradise. Even the lesser movies like Pebble in the penguin had a fairy tale like story, of huey wanting to bring a magic stone to the woman he loved, but literally everything goes wrong! Almost all his movies,in one way or another,follow a fairytale structure and feeling. It's why they feel TIMELESS. Because fairytales themselves are timeless Troll in Central Park quite literally is a spit to Don bluths belief. Instead of giving up a feel of a gripping fairytale, it's more like a little baby's bedtime story. There is no big themes that grip imagination and allows kids to question their world. This is something you tell them to BORE THEM TO SLEEP!
@@StraightestDakregorI agree, please don’t ship irl people, fictional characters it’s fine since they’re not real. But shipping real people has ruined creators friendships with others before
don bluth films are sometimes so good at being so deeply unpleasant to look at, even the things that are trying to be cute. I feel like ive seen that little girls design about 100 times but theres something so uncanny and off about it. this feels like a parody of a childrens movie that youd see within another show or movie.
It's like spotting Peter Lorre in a cartoon.....You're either caught off guard, feel awkward about seeing him, or am glad to see him depending on who you are lol
That would be the late and great Cloris Leachman, best known for playing Frau Blücher in “Young Frankenstein”. Though my favorite role she played was Dola in the Disney dub of “Castle in the Sky”.
I hate how he sees that his toddler sister falls into the sewers but he is so insistent on bringing his toy boat with him into the sewers. Focus on the objective, leave the plot convenience boat outside while you are making sure she isn't freaking face down in the sewer! I hate that child so much XD
I loved Don Bluth movies as a kid, even if I thought they were bad. I always adored the animation style in them. But for whatever reason, I don't remember ever watching this one. If I ever did, I now see why I forgot it.
I have always enjoyed Don Bluth's 2D animation too. I even wish he was still in business, so we could still have his movies and video games around today, instead of nothing but 3D and live action. Not to mention, we could see all the movies that were cancelled, like Don Bluth's version of Beauty and the Beast. A Troll in Central Park and some of the other movies may not have worked, but I still enjoy Don Bluth's animation.
I remember this film as a kid, and I can barely remember it at all. Man, it’s a torturous watch rn, and I’m only 1/3 in watching with you guys. However, you two make it so much better to get thru.
Saber, I actually have a similar story to your “We’re Back” trauma. In first grade, we once watched Aladdin in music class & were told to pay attention to the background music & see what instruments we recognize dl the sound of. That seemed to go over well, so neurodivergent lil 6-year-old me told the teacher we should do this again with Fantasia, because that movie’s all about the music. My teacher (god bless him) thought this was a great idea, and so next class we watched Fantasia. Those uncultured little shits known as my classmates wouldn’t shut up for five seconds. Just try to picture both a weird little girl & a grown man with a music degree equally disappointed that they’d been foolish enough to cast pearls before swine.
I’ve had the same experience with other kids when I was younger. I felt pretty discouraged by whole ordeal. It’s kinda the reason why I developed a bit of a distaste for more obnoxious films like “Space Jam” and (to some lesser degree) “Hercules”, since they feel like the sort of films specifically targeted at that demographic.
To be fair, most kids are dumb and dont care how good a movie is artistically or how good the writing is as long as theres something exciting happening on screen. I can speak from experience as I was definitely one of those kids growing up lol. It sucks but I cant blame them
@@leoultimaupgraded9914 Yeah, I remember watching _Fantasia 2000_ as a kid and found it really fascinating, and years later I was annoyed that my older sister called it "the one we didn't get".
26:14 - This looks like that one scene in Harry Potter 2 where Lockhart messes up spells and instead of healing Harry's broken arm HE FUCKING DELETES HIS BOOOONES (and according to miss Pomfrey regrowing bones is very painful) Also Rishi, your voice and laugh are hella cute * u *
Doubt anyone cares but the voice of the King and Killer is an old character actor named Charles Nelson Reilly, probably best known for Hollywood Squares. And fun fact: he has a Weird Al song dedicated to him, and it’s quite badass
I got to watch Weird Al perform the Charles Nelson Reilly song live -- I already knew who the guy was through Match Game -- so it just made the song even funnier for me
Nightmare fuel film, I remember my nan had this on VHS when I was a kid. The worst thing was the f***ing crying scene, that was so vomity even as a 5 year old I hated it. But as an adult, some of the interactions are HIGHLY SUS.
There's parts of this I like, for example the whole green thumb vs stone thumb between Gnorga and Stanley, I like the using Gus to turn Stanley to stone. But yeah it's too...much in many places.
I found the ending to be kinda nice. hopeful even if its cheesy and naive. there's a consistent message about dreaming of a better future in the movie at least.
theres a fine line of cute an creepy...the goody troll looks creepy when hes talking to the kids... Plus the little girl looks like another character, but i can't remember who
I gotta compare this to another's opinion about this movie "You know in a show (e.g. the Simpsons) and you see the kids watching TV and some over the top nonsense is playing that obviously nobody else is putting thought into, because its in the background and nobody needs to pay attention to it." This is that movie!!
If I had the software I would totally make a youtube poop of Troll in Central Park, but insert the voice clips of Dom Deluise's Fingers the Octopus from Toonstruck, badmouthing at the flowers and swearing at the kids.
They could have easily had some business man who wanted to destroy central park and the evil troll teams up with him to destroy stanley and thus all the plants. At least that would be conflict and a plot.
This cartoon just reminds me of when I used to watch it at my grandma’s house when I was little. I loved it back then, so it does give me a sense of nostalgia. Going to my grandma’s house is one of my fondest memories. We also watched Mickey and the Beanstalk a lot. :)
When Phillip Glasser voices Fievel, I'll say one thing to describe it. It is *ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!* As adorable as Bluth's films' animation is gorgeous. I might probably put this little guy as at least the cutest Don Bluth-created character (though maybe Steven Spielberg had a bigger hand, because Fievel is plenty based on, and named after Spielberg's maternal grandfather; Spielberg's family is primarily Jewish, with his paternal grandparents being Ukrainian-Jewish, like Fievel and his family, with his grandfather having escaped to Spielberg's birthplace in Cincinatti to escape being drafted into the Russian army), and among the most adorable characters in animation.
I remember this movie from childhood, but more recently from a legit college class. "Queen of Mean" song has no point, and the movie legit ended after Stanley got his patch of grass. As the main character got what they wanted.
Last time I watched this was at a friend's house back in the very early 2000's. Only got as far as when the boy turned back to normal, leaving me on a cliff hanger. Probably should've ended it there, too.
I thought I ahted this movie, becuase it was bland, but I still remember every single word for Gnorga's song. After that I decided to stop pretending to eb cool and just enjoy the pretty visuals (because theya re amazing), and let my kindergarden self be happy.
@@averageytviewer6893 I just remember the songs of this movie, I really liked the ending song, it matched with things like "Once upon a time in a Forest" or "Ferngully". I ended up studying nature related things because of that, I believe.
This movie freaked me out as a child. Made me never want to go to park on my own or leave house without my parents in fear of meeting this troll in real life. Something about his smile scared me and how he just never had any other real emotions (why I never liked Barney either), it felt uncanny to me. At the end of the movie when he covered the whole world in green I ran to the corner of the room shaking and crying.
What really bothered me watching this again as an adult was when the troll was talking to Rosie and saying, "I'm not like other trolls. I'm good. etc." that sounds like the words of a groomer. I'm almost certain they put that in there on accident. Can you imagine if a kid identified with that with a stranger talking to them like that? While stranger abductions are rare, at the time with the whole "stranger danger" message being taught to kids, it makes even less sense.
This was the first Saberspark stream I caught live and even though I got in the second half, the commentary you two provided had me dying and got me craving for more. Really glad you finally uploaded this stream
Now, between the 'it's all just fantasy' daydream land magic but apparent completely real and lasting destruction of Central Park(and overall lack of cohesive story telling) this honestly shouldn't be what I focus on, but since EVERYONE touched upon the core part then....I think the parents need a better household help. Cuz I asumme Maria's duties include watching over the kids when the parents are at work. But like A WHOLE DAY HAS PASSED(the kids left right after parents left for work, and returned when parents came back. and it's dark) and she didn't like once wonder why kids are not coming out to ask when lunch/dinner is? Nor did she check on them to call them for their meals....did she just go "these little kids that need regular meals are probably not hungry today. Oh well"?
There was an alternate ending to the 1986 Little Shop of Horrors where Audrey II eats everyone and takes over the world. You can find it online and in the special features on at least one DVD. The evil monster puppet plant taking over on purpose is less disturbing than the ending of this movie.
Gnorga the Queen of Mean makes me furious because DAMN IT THAT MUSIC IS GOOD The lyrics are stupid, but the voice and the music itself is really fucking good!!! They were so close to having a GOOD song in this movie!! It's very reminiscent of 'My Father's Son' from Secret of NIMH 2, they had like 90% of a good song and decided to fuck it over at the last moment.
I remember this movie so vividly- I guess I was a really dumb and easily entertained child cause the dancing flowers was enough to make me lose it lmao
This movie is just painful to watch, not just because it's a bad movie but because seeing Don Bluth do this badly after so many (okay three out of however many came before this) amazing films hurts. Plus, this is the one time that Dom DeLuise's performance couldn't make me still like the character he played.
"Woah, how can you tell it's Don Bluth movie?" Cheeks in profile, big lower lips, very expressionist faces and, of course, Dom DeLuise! Don Bluth is my favorite animatior of all time and I HATED this film. Watched it once. Edit: Can't believe Saber forgot Rasputin who has the greatest villian song of ALL TIME!
Around an hour in, the story about you bringing a movie to class and everyone pretty much ignoring it...I can relate. My daycare used to allow us to bring movies . I was(still am) really into Godzilla. I had Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla 1974. Brought it to daycare, think I was about six or seven, teacher put it in. No one liked it. Either they blatantly ignored it or openly mocked it. Teacher took it out and pooped in Barney Goes Camping. I never brought another movie.
For more of these let's watch, I have a couple to recommend. They are either underrated or not known in the community. One is 'Help! I'm A Fish' which has Alan Rickman as the villain and is a cute movie for kids. Another is 'Romeo and Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss' and yes... it is actually about seals. And finally, a movie I recently found out about which is called 'The Princess and the Cobbler'. The animator for Who Framed Roger Rabbit originally started it and it finished in a 30-year production. They have 3 versions and I recommend the Fred Calvert version first and then the Miramax version. There's a Recobbled where they add everything that didn't make the cut but I did not care about that one. Please @SaberSpark! Could you do at least one of these films?!
I love this movie. It was one of my favorites when I was little, and I recently re-watched it with a friend. He ended up enjoying it a lot more than he thought he would and that made me so happy.
When I was a wee kid, I wanted to see this after seeing the trailer on another VHS. My parents wouldn't rent it, and it kind of fell out of my mind. Thank God. Seeing this, I can only imagine the negative impact this would have had on my young brain.
From what I can tell, once he broke off his partnership with Spielberg, all of Bluth's subsequent movies kept being more and more focus tested to death. Anastasia was like the sole exception, because AE was always doomed to fail even before Bluth got attached.
Never seen this film before and I wished it stayed that way 🤣 but it was fun to see your guys reaction. Yeesh. Some of the lines in this were more awkward than first date farts
