Osmosis Jones eventually got his own cartoon series. Ozzy and Drix. Though they aren't in Frank, they end up in a kid named Hector. I watched it a lot when I was young.
There was a deleted scene from this movie where Osmosis talked about how he lost his family when Frank donated blood. Then during the climax in the hospital, the doctors would have tried infusing him with his own blood, and they would be reunited.
@@Mrtheunnameable When I saw this movie as a kid for the first time, that white blood cell exploding in the beginning scared the living shit out of me.
@Corkboard Productions It is interesting because I remembered the movie was rated PG when it was shown here in the Philippines, and I rarely watched a PG movie when I was a kid even with my parents.
Don't forget the green projectile vomit caused by Ozzy when Frank ate the contaminated oyster at the school science fair. Which also caused Frank to loose his job at the pea soup factory.
To quote Doug Walker, "You know... For kids!" In all seriousness, I'm not surprised. Marvel's first run of Transformers comics featured graphic robot violence, but the rare human characters never earned much more than a scraped knee. Anything goes so long as the perpetrator and victim are sufficiently inhuman. For further examples, look up the late nineties cartoon series called Beast Wars. Waspinator's character was routinely dismembered and decapitated - and all of it was played for laughs.
I also love how the medicine is animated in 3D to show just how odd and out of place he would be compared to the rest of the body. Despite that he’s still in the same style as everyone else, thus still being able to hang around.
Jack Wolfe I wish my high school health teacher showed me this movie because I would’ve been the only one in the classroom to know of this movie’s existence at the time.
So, the "Red Death." - He's very good at avoiding the immune system. - He's highly contagious and extremely virulent. - He's asymptomatic until it's too late. - He's 100% lethal, barring an absolute miracle. - He can survive outside a host for a long time, and appears to rely on this ability to get to a new host after killing his old one. - He specifically targets part of the central nervous system. You know what disease also does all that? *Rabies.* If that's not bad enough, his name in the credits is Thraxx; he's named after *anthrax,* which has been infamously used by terrorists in the past. Then, considering that "the Red Death" evokes the idea of the Black Death, i.e. a *global pandemic,* his obssession with killing his host in as little time as possible, his claim that he makes *ebola* look like dandruff, and his expressed desire to have an entire *chapter* dedicated to him in medical books... Guys, I think the Red Death is a bioweapon.
I’m not sure if any of you are familiar or not with the works of Edgar Allan Poe but there is a short story by him called Masque of the Red Death. It’s about a group of rich folks who lock themselves inside a mansion while everybody outside is dying and throw a very extravagant party to wait out the disease. The name Red Death probably has nothing to do with the Black Death. It’s probably just a reference to Poe’s imaginary disease. Poe used the term Red Death as a way of illustrating a disease that causes an epidemic. So focusing on the similarities between Red Death and Black Death might not be the right way to go about figuring out what this disease is. And while it’s fun to speculate about what the disease really is, the probably chose the name of a famous fake disease in order to illustrate that this disease isn’t supposed to resemble any known diseases. Edit: in The Masque of the Red Death, the disease kills VERY QUICKLY. The disease is even at one point personified and it kills someone who came in contact only a moment before. Then, the entire party is dead not long after. The only way a disease can infect if it kills it’s host is to survive outside the body. The disease is just the Red Death from Poe’s story, The Masque of the Read Death. A fake disease. It’s not that deep.
@@h.r.9563 Wow, my dad was very overprotective, never even let me go to friend's houses or anything, yet he still wouldn't have said I couldn't watch this. Now that I think of it, he was really protective yet still watched horror movies with me that had tons of mutilation like "The Thing" so long as sexual stuff was skipped.
I love how the medical team hears the flatline for 0.8 seconds and is immediately like “he’s gone, we tried our best, call the time of death and tell this little girl her dads dead” 😔😔😔
Really liked your Osmosis Jones video, because despite it not doing well at the box office or critically, your video pointing out the accuracies of the body made me realise how much effort they put into that film. Sometimes we forget how much time and effort they put into a film, and it's a very long process (as a filmmaker, I would know) and we criticise films too easily when we watch it in two hours, even if it's not a perfect film.
The problem is that it's a pretty good film when it's doing its animated segments and an atrocious film when it does it's live segments. As an animation buff, I love the animated segments, but if I didn't love the animation, I'd hate this film.
"I've known sugar pills who cured cancer, just because they believed they could". This is my favorite quote from this movie. It's great to see how they used real biology things for world building, slangs and jokes.
I clicked the notification so fast I'm afraid I might've hurt a platelet. Also, I wonder if you noticed when the "mayor" was being interviewed (around 8:04) , we passed near a statue of a sperm labeled "our founder" xD
It is too brutal. Kids can’t usually get their hands on alcohol but chest compressions can be easily copied. Least I think that’s the rational behind it
I loved this movie when I was a kid!! They should make more human anatomy/physiology-based things like this! I mean, we need more platelets in our lives!! We're all Thrombocytopenic!
Dear Dr. Hope, Wanted to thank you for turning me onto Cells At Work! Not only the show itself but your little commentaries and visual diagrams. I'm a homeschool mom, and after watching your review of the first few episodes of the anime, I binge-watched the entire series. I was so impressed with its content and with your more in-depth explanations on pathogens and immunology that I actually recommended it to several other homeschool friends to use as aides in teaching biology. I look forward to seeing what other content you cover that I can use in future lessons.
After watching it (which I watched what was available at the time before seeing Dr. Hope,) I asked my bro all sorts of questions. He's a microbiologist and works with allergies, STI's and vaccines. It was a load of fun to see how accurate everything was.
Keep in mind it over simplifies a lot of things and glosses over other points. Funny enough the manga revisits many of those points in later chapters of the manga, including chapters the anime just skipped past (It ends with Hypovolemic Shock, which wasn't even the finale of Volume 4). Ex. the entire Band cell phase of granulocyte development is skipped past during "Erythroblast and Myelocyte" (ch 7 in the manga) but it gets brought up again in Ch 27, when Eosinophil and U-1146, now grievously wounded from an off panel battle, reminisce about their time together as E.Myelocyte and N.Myelocyte in the marrow and about an older Band Cell they looked up to.
There will be soon one new episode of Cells At Work! Copy paste from Tokyo Otaku Mode: “Kaze Shokogun” revolves around the sudden arrival of a mysterious cell wearing a fancy hat. Naturally, this causes a stir among the regular cells, who are getting bored with the repetitive work of daily cell division. The mysterious hat wearing cell incites the regular cells to play tricks on White Blood Cell and Killer T Cell, but who on earth is he? Also at TOMs website, Cells At Work has announced a mobile game wich is coming to iOS and Android phones. Lastly there is another series Cells At Work Black or in Japan Hataraku Saibou Black that tells more about body of a drinker/smoker with cells having worst possible living there. It's bit more maturer and darker but it's still something you should check up too. It's currently only in Manga form unlike the main series which has some episodes but it's still easily found "ongoing" in the internet with 11 chapters now. Manga is Japanese comic where you read everything from the "back cover" to "front cover" even the speech bubbles are other way around going right to left. This is all i can tell about Hataraku Saibou. You can ask me about other Manga and Anime too if you want coz eery genre have lot to offer. So many new people avoid us with younger people saying "it's childish" and adults say "it's filthy" coz many series do have questible scenes but most people still are more invested on the story tho. It's anoying how they shut down options like Hataraku Saibou here or say "because it's animation,it's clearly for children" which is always not the case. Simpsons or Family Guy is not for toddlers either so what gives? Horror Animes/Manga do exist too. They even listen to the internet trolls more than people who really knows about this stuff. Anyway, nice to see that someone is intrested atleast in one series. Hataraku Saibou is really good with information about body and presenting it. Even with reading the HS Black can bring more information about the body in the main series :3
@@zoningyo8506 thanks for the tip. I was hoping they'd animate the Black series. I do know what manga is. And I've been watching anime since I was 12. (Just watched another dubbed episode of Case Closed [Detective Conan] this evening.) Just cuz I'm a homeschool mom doesn't mean I'm not also cool. ;)
@@ashleypenn7845 Nice!! I got ahead of myself coz you mentioned only Cells At Work but it's nice to see that you're older fan already. If you also watch Detective Conan then the next movie is coming up too. It will include Kaitou Kid and Makoto, both are on my favorite character list in that show and their first encounter in the series was so fun to read so i can't wait to this one to come out X3
Osmosis Jones is, unironically, one of my favorite movies. To this day I still can't watch the live-action bit at the beginning with Frank chewing on the egg, though. It makes me feel like my own Osmosis Jane is about to hit the eject button, lol.
Red Death is a reference to a short story by Edgar Allen Poe called "Masque of the Red Death". edit: Which you then referenced later... I really should watch this all the way before commenting.
I have not read that story yet, it's in my copy of Classic Horror Tales, some of them are great, none of them have been horrifying though which I'm slightly disappointed at, but at least they're good stories.
@@EchthelionII old horror stories are unfortunately made for people in older times. Makes me wonder if the stuff we're exposed to as kids would give them heart attacks!
The high school girl who did the first research on the 5 second rule actually got an ig noble award for her research. Because sometimes they give the award to real but fun research that would otherwise go unnoticed.
@@MichaelBerthelsen Historically they have given the ward out as kind of a "nice job breaking it hero" award. Like French guys who scrubbed off prehistoric paintings because they thought they were graffiti. Or Dan Quayle's award in Education for his inability to spell potato.
fitzdraco Then those are extreme outliers, since their own mission statement is to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think."
My class knew how to irritate the teacher so much, that she just put this movie on instead of teaching half the time. As such, I've seen this movie at least 30 times. -_-
It's interesting that this review feels like a summary of some of the episodes we have seen, kind of like a refresher course (although I hoped he featured the Cells at Work! playlist at the end, rather than Doctor Strange, seeing most information in this video have been detailed in those videos, plus people had to be aware Episode 1 is not deleted anymore).
If Cells At Work had been around when I was in school, I'd had likely learned much more easily. Book learning isn't how my mind works usually, I learn by doing or seeing. Though I can sometimes read and learn, I prefer the other ways. We all learn in our own ways, so schools shouldn't just assume we'll all learn the same from the exact same methods and then grade kids badly because they don't learn from books and tests.
I thought "Red Deaths" name was Thrax, therefore alluding that he is Anthrax. How and why he got Anthrax from eating a contaminated egg isn't really explained, but Anthrax spores can survive for hundreds of years outside of hosts and regularely show back up due to various environmental factors, such as earthworms or rising ground water. But Anthrax is most commonly known as a biological weapon...
The biological weapon thing makes sense as Thrax has mentioned that he was in many hosts before, killing them in months and speeding up each time, with his plan to infect Frank's daughter and kill her in 24 hours, compared to Frank's own 48. Although that does not explain how he ended up on the chimp or how the chimp never had any problem apparently. Then again, this is the movie that implies that working in a zoo is somehow beneath working in a canning factory.
It’s intentionally not any real virus. It was likely inspired by scarlet fever, though. Especially since that’s an illness kids get somewhat often (though far less often now than in the past, thanks to antibiotics) so they might be familiar with the symptoms. I’d wager the name Thrax was inspired by anthrax, but ultimately chosen simply because it sounds cool and intimidating. Anthrax has been used as a bio weapon since WWI, so it was definitely familiar to the screenplay writers. Also, Osmosis Jones was released in the summer of 2001 so even if you put aside how long it takes to make an animated film, the name Thrax couldn’t possibly have been inspired by the anthrax scares after 9/11. It was just a coincidence.
I like that even if it's an animated movie basically for kids, it's still damn accurate even more so than some medical shows. Great video, loved your comments!
We're back with our look at medical related movies. This one took me 5 hours to watch!!! (in 2 sittings?!) as there was so awesome stuff to talk about, so thank you for recommending it; please leave any other requests / recommendations down below. And have yourselves a super weekend. Timestamps to scenes: 2:17 - Why does Osmosis Jones looks like that? 8:32 - Why do the Police live in the lymphatic system? 10:41 - What drug could Drix be? 13:53 - What disease is the Red Death? 17:01 - Why is an informant a vaccine? 24:26 - How does alcohol kill bacteria / viruses?
Dr Hope's Sick Notes Doctor Hope, at about 3:55 you talk about _Clostridium botulitum_ (excuse my spelling) causing a deadly disease... I’ve also heard of a related strain, _Clostridium novyi,_ being used to cure hypoxic strains of cancer. Have you heard of this? And as a Junior Doctor, what are your thoughts? I had read a study about it and you bringing it up made me remember it. I kind of wanted your opinion.
@@BlakieTT Unless you think Beeninher Cameinsnatch was a black american before I don't think you know who he's talking about. Jones was voiced by Chris Rock... This movie actually has a pretty all-star cast. Lawrence Fishbourne is Thrax, William Shatner is the Mayor, Bill Murray obviously and Kid Rock plays a version of himself (Kidney Rock)...
Cowboys known for the movement of water through a semi permeable membrane with different concentrations of solutes. Especially loved that level in Red Dead
It’s good to know that viruses outside of the host can degrade in the air overtime. Makes me less afraid of the pandemic that is currently happening right now
This Coronavirus has a 'fat' layer which helps it last on certain hard surfaces. But its protection is also its downfall as that layer can easily be broken by soap. Happy handwashing!
I've got bad news for you. CDC: Coronavirus Survived 17 Days on Diamond Princess Cabin Surfaces . Wash your hands before eating and after touching things outside your home (door handles, card machines, elevator buttons, etc)
Can you look into the story of the man who was actually producing ethanol alcohol in his gut?! The story goes he got pulled over, tested with a breathalyzer and was accused of drinking, but he didn't drink, also he kept feeling sick and figured those two must be related, so he went to the hospital and they discovered that his gut was actually manufacturing alcohol inside him... Is that actually possible? How did it not kill him or give him alcohol poisoning or something? Apparently it was long term as well.. I think a video like that is right up your alley, and people would love if you busted a cool interesting medical myth! Anyways, great video! I lived this movie as a kid lol I always used to name my cells after watching it! I had cancer and I would draw pictures and imagine characters like OJ helping to heal me! I was a ridiculous kid... lol
It's not only actually possible but it took the multiple times to clear it up because he kept falling off at the proper diet. But they did cure him in the end
Ooh when did you get the dot? I saw a few people comment saying it looks like the sign said "Sucknotes", but I didnt forsee you actually adding the dot!
Dr. Hope, have you considered doing a series on the Magic School Bus episodes that deal with the human body? Season 1 has two episodes (Gets Eaten and Inside Ralphie) and season 4 has one episode (Goes Cellular). It'd be a short series, but as the episodes aren't interconnected, it'd be fun, I think.
I think I know about the story you heard and it was actually cancer discovered due to treating a shark injury. If it's from Ifunny then that's it, otherwise, maybe not.
very good video! Though if i remember correctly the main villian's name is Thrax and i vaguely remember someone telling me that he was a representation of anthrax and i did kind of want to know if that was actually true. Regardless still a fun watch!
Yeh good point! Anthrax fits in a way because it’s passed from animals (so the chimp could have been infected), although again it is a bacterial infection not a virus. My thought is they made it deliberately fictional so not to be insensitive to anyone who may have suffered from a particular disease.
It's cool that you actually break this down and describe the ways this movie creatively interpreted the body and its systems, rather than just taking a dump on its inaccuracies and pointing out things anyone with a shred of medical knowledge could figure out.
(although the show is oooold. There will be so much out of date in there. But i grew up with it. They even used it to teach us biology back in school here in switzerland :))
Well, his personality is spot on, Neutrophil Granulocytes are loose cannons! XD The reason their nucleus is twisted up in that pretzel shape is also kind of part of this, because you don't want these cells to be able to replicate like crazy (Because they kind of have a habit of pulling the scorched earth strategy on any bad guys they find, which would be bad for the body at large if there are too many of them around. There's STILL a lot of them to go around as it is.) so once they are fully baked, they automatically seal off most of their nucleus so that it can't be used for replication. Just think of it as a bundle of wires that are secured by zip-ties, it's not far off.
From my own guessings, I think the little bead is representative for codons! That way. there was a frameshift mutation which caused the hyperthermia. I’m not sure how but that’s just my little guess on it
Stitchednotebook codons wouldn’t cause a frameshift as it would move in multiples of 3, it would have to be a number of nucleotides that isn’t a multiple of 3
Thanks for thoroughly explaining every notible reference. Another doctor I followed who reacted just pointed out a bunch of inaccuracies in a kids movie instead of looking at it from an educational level and what the audience can learn from it.
I miss his brains teasers when there's no upload, at least, I mean I think it's understandable to wonder why he uploads once a month, hehe. P.S. Forgot he just uploaded Doctor Strange and Trauma Center, so actually just 2 weeks with no uploads.
Oh and if you want to watch another show in your off time, I recently watched the first season of a k-drama called God's Quiz on Netflix. It is about these coroners and medical doctors at a university figuring out abnormal causes of death. I found it entertaining sometimes it's super dramatic but learning about rare diseases is cool.
I loved this video! I really, really appreciated that you taught us and pointed out inaccuracies without being rude or snide about the artistic liberties that the film took. I loved every second! Great job! =D
Thank you so much for this! My nephew is obsessed with anatomy and I’m watching this before I show him this movie tomorrow so I’m prepared for his million questions 😭😂
Something that’s interesting to note about this movie which actually makes it even more accurate is that the villain is a mystery disease that very nearly kills the host. How many viruses that pop up turn out far too virulent and never get discovered because they get treated quickly due to their severe symptoms and effects?
Yeah like whenever people ask if the movie is good or they are recommending it to new viewers (I’m one of those because I actually haven’t seen this movie and didn’t grow up with it as a kid when it came out), they tend to say just only watch the animated sections of the film and it will be a good viewing while the live action portions are cringe and just skip those parts.
This movie was such a fun and clever spin on understanding what happens when you get sick. I remember seeing it as a kid in school and I think I learned more within this movie than the teach cared to tell us about all year. I don't remember how old I was but it was a new release when the health class teacher decided to bring it in.
@@MrKlausbaudelaire No idea how this was "cheaper". 75 million USD spent on something a kid would watch is a bit overkill. Low quality maybe, but criticizing a style of animation because it's not Japanese would be an insult to anime. Can't expect anime to be better than games.
@@sasukeuchiha998 It's not the money-kind of cheaper I meant. I just feel like Osmosis Jones didn't have much effort put into the whole biology premise with the cells having generic designs and not always sticking to their role as a cell, but I guess I don't have to be unnecessarily cruel, both cartoons are great, they just differ in genre. Osmosis Jones (and the cartoon) goes for a more entertaining PSA with not much focus on anatomical accuracy as much as dramatizing for the sake of making a message that becomes memorable, while Cells at Work works more on education and focus. And obviously, japanese animation being much better when it comes to details and designs while Western animation is cheaper in a positive way, as consuming less money means they can give more content.
@@MrKlausbaudelaire Western animation is orders of magnitude more expensive though. If anything anime is astonishingly inexpensive (IIRC just a few million USD for a full season), and as such tends to cut a lot of corners on stuff like incidental character animation and general fluidity outside of select sakuga moments.
06:00 The toxine from botulinum [that was referenced a minute ago] can kill a person with a tiny microscopic ammount... What would be necesary to cause a muscular reaction "equivalent" of a cramp would be about the same as the content of a single neutrophile. -> The "high voltage line" also sugest that the nerves were already under a lot of stress (so whatever "reactive substance" Osmosis Jones shoot was just "the last drop of water" in the already full Hoover Dam.
The expression is "Feed a cold and starve a fever". It means that when you start feeling ill, you should eat well so that you have the energy to fight off the infection and prevent it becoming serious.
Before I even begin watching, I'm already excited as hell. I love this movie and this is something I've been specifically curious about for a while now
Hi Dr. Hope! I recently stumbled across your channel and I just love it--the fact that you don't just comment on medical (in)accuracies, but take the time to break it down and explain it to the audience with visual aides is just fantastic! I'm learning so much! Also, I belong to one of the Native peoples over here in America and I've recently been learning about our traditional plant-based medicines. So it's very interesting to see the knowledge I've learned here helps me understand on the cellular or internal level /why/ some of our medicines work the way they do. Like leaves of specific trees made into teas help with certain illnesses because they contain compounds that trigger certain responses like fever. Or certain plants applied to a wound help it stop bleeding faster because they stimulate the restriction of blood vessels in the surrounding tissue. It's really fascinating and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate what you do here!
The whole hyper/hypo thing is just stupid. Doctors and nurses obviously hear the differences but those sound way too similar. When it comes to hypothermia, I’ve always heard it pronounced somewhere in between hyper and hypo. Like “hypa” and maybe a hint of an “r” depending on the accent.
After watching this video I think I will watch osmosis jones, it looks similar to the cells at work anime which was THE BEST EVER and anyone who hasn't watched it yet should do so right now
I discovered the channel Legal Eagle only very recently actually, so stumbling on this is pretty fantastic. I already love this other perspective's look into the same pop-culture we all love. I wasn't even a min in before subscribing and hitting that bell too lol.
@@Simistar3179 It was called Ozzy & Drix, an animated continuation series where the two somehow got transported to another person's body (a teenager named Hector), who faces differnet things concerning high school life, and how the two and the other cells in his body react to those situations.
