YO?? ??? Oh my god this is THE childhood movie for me and I've never met anyone who's even heard of it. Fuuuuck yeah

Fun fact: The movie is directed by Dave McKean, an illustrator for Coraline, Yawjak Paw, The Sandman and Arkham Asylum: Serious House on Serious Earth. So the unsettling surrealistic designs and color palettes makes a whole lot of sense if you know who was behind it.

"Helena?! What kind of name is that? You should have a name with a bit of mystery and romance, like Valentine." "And what is your name?" "Valentine."

Love when pig reviews obscure and disturbing movies I've never heard of Also seeing Peta Jones was a nostalgic sucker punch

I thought this movie didn't exist. I only remembered one thing about a movie, it being 'a giant being that talks slowly and gets taken over by darkness', and no matter where I looked, I couldn't find anything regarding it. As I watched this video, and it got to the scene with the giant beings, a switch clicked in my brain and I was like 'no fucking way'. This solved a massive question that had been in my head for countless years

God, I loved this movie as a kid. Makes me wish people still made just completely nutty insane movies like this nowadays.

I actually love Mirrormask. I first discovered it within a DVD box set accompanying The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth at Best Buy, several years back, and even though I watchex the two better known films many time as a kid, I have definitely watched Mirrormask more times than the other 2 put together as an adult. It just speaks to me.

MirrorMask is honestly one of my favorite movies from my childhood. The director is one of my favorite artists Dave McKean, who is very well known for collaborating with Neil Gaiman.

My leg hurts from slapping it so hard when I saw this notification 😫 this is one of my favorite movies from my childhood. As a kid it REALLY influenced my art style 😂

I randomly found this movie at my library like 20 years ago. I had not seen many movies similar to it, like Dark Crystal or Labyrinth. This movie is why I later saw those movies. Love it.

I watched this movie once years ago but it stuck with me. I loved the scene with the creepy rendition on "Close to you" and used to rewatch it all the time. I'm glad you covered this movie and so excited to see Peta Jones back.

You were right. This move is surreal. The sphinx dog reminds me of the episode 'perfect' in courage tbh

I remember my friend showing me this movie many years ago. I'd never seen anything like it before; it's so trippy and surreal, it scared me a few times! I watched it again not too long ago, and it's still one of my favorite unique, creepy, surreal fantasy movies. And of course the story was written by Neil Gaiman; he's involved in every movie/show I like, I swear...

Peeta Jones! I missed these skits so much!

Ah my favorite writer.. Thank you Gaiman

Thanks for confirming that I, in fact, did *NOT* hallucinate this movie when I was 14. Sometimes, it visits me in my nightmares. I remember nothing of the plot... only the vibe, & that colorless, yet somehow piss-tone vignette

My comfort movie :) my mom and my grandma used to sing the “why do birds suddenly appear” song to me when I was a kid

"if everyone had wheels on the bottoms of their shoes we'd all just be rolling around everywhere"

OH MY GOD IT'S MY FAV MOVIE I GREW UP WITH I always loved how odd it was and how literally it took everything. And I feel like this whole dream logic stuff is what I vibed with particularly well as a kid. Because the real world around me didn't really make sense, and in contrast this somehow did. Plus it's just rly wholesome? It's like a rly tiny story, idk, gives me a very homey feeling.

I’m so happy to see others finding this movie!

Holy SHIT I thought this movie WAS a fever dream from my childhood until you reviewed it. My mind is broken right now that this actually exists!!!

Found this on a dusty shelf at a store that no longer exists. Watching this made me realize how much this movie influenced me in later life, haha.

so cool hearing you talk about mirrormask! this movie's been one of my favorites for years now, glad you're getting the word out :]

I was easily frightened as a kid, and yet I loved this movie. Been a while since I’ve seen it, but it certainly is somethin else.

Honestly one of my favorite movies ever! I'm so happy to see someone reviewing this!

Saw the title of my favorite awesome movie, blacked out, hit play. Thanks for bringing awareness to this COMPLETELY wild film. Love Dave McKean!

Mirrormask is one of my favorite movies. Bought it for my kids when it came out and ended up keeping it for myself lol

I discovered this movie just browsing through the library several years ago. I saw the director and knew I'd almost certainly love it

You just unlocked a deep memory! I loved labyrinth and the dark crystal as a kid and my parents got recommended this film for me. I have no memory of the storyline at all, but I remember it was too weird…even for me 😂

This is my number one favorite movie ever since it came out, beautiful imagery, beautiful message, surreal atmosphere, truly one of a kind work of art.

one of my favorite movies!!!! i've been waiting for people to talk about this since high school!

I LOVE Mirrormask, I haven't seen or thought about this movie in years!

Spreading some feed for the algrhythm of the nightz

Omg i haven't thought about this movie in years, I clicked so fast. Actually now that i think, im pretty sure i got it in a weird box set of The labyrinth, mirrormask and dark crystal haha

I was OBSESSED with this movie as a kid and made it my whole personality for years. I'd write quotes and doodle little creatures from the movie in my notebooks at school. Totally forgot this movie existed until I saw this video in my notifications

I ACTUALLY SCREAMED!!!!!!! Nobody else ever knows what the hell I’m talking about when I bring this movie up!!!!! You’re a real one for making a video so I can show everyone 🙏

Oh my god! Thank you for reuniting me with this movie!!! I loved this movie when I was 13, it was one of the only movies my stepmom had that I actually liked. I watched it during a really tough time in my life and I’ve completely forgotten about it until now

I HAVE BEEN WANTING YOU TO COVER THIS MOVIE FOREEEEEVER. I WATCHED IT AS A KID AND FOR QUITE A LONG TIME I THOUGHT HALLUCINATED THE WHOLE DAMN THING BUT I LOVE IT SO MUCH

I am SO happy I was able to remind you of Mirror Mask during your live stream. I love this weird movie. Also the return of PETA Jones! Thx for the great vid Pig!💜 Reading through the comments, I’m glad I was able to unlock a memory for so many, it’s awesome😊

I first saw this movie while spending the night at my aunt's when I was younger (like mid- or early-teens) at like 3am. Was just trying something to fall asleep to after partying with my cousin and it stuck with me, but I didn't know the title and any time I brought it up nobody has ever heard of it. Sick to see you covering it~

You have GOT TO review the Labyrinth. Literally been my favourite movie for years and years and I've watched it most of my life. One of my all time favourite movies.

Yay the arty farty movie i still have it. It was my first time hearing the "why do birds suddenly coming down song"

I am so glad you covered this movie it's been one of my favourites since we rented it out at some random video store when I was a kid. It's so great, especially the riddle sphinx

I thought this movie was a fever dream, so glad to see so many people had the same experience

Dude this is THE BEST art movie out there!!!!

Yes!!! This movie holds such a special place in my heart. I got the DVD when the movie first came out. It Is such a visual trip. So happy to see some light shine on it❤❤❤

It's cool to see this movie get even a little bit of recognition. I grew up watching stuff like this, the Labyrinth, the Dark Crystal, & etc. This was definitely one of my favorites. I always connected to it's deeper message even when I didn't fully understand what it was about

MirrorMask is one of my favorite movies. Dark, weird, but absolutely a movie that gets better every time you watch it. There's so much to look at. It's brain candy for me.

This is great dude, keep it up

the transition into the add. the fact that you had to record and edit that is just...*chefs kiss* Also mirrormask is a fever dream and i love it so so much.

i’m really happy to see the characters in videos again! the interactions were always creative & i enjoy your videos without but it’s fun to see again :)

24:52 This is a total niche fun fact, but if you watch Mirrormask in a dark room with only the screen for your light, the otherworldly vignette sections make the lighting VERY strange around you, adding to the weird/creep factor by a LOT.

1:53 ITS PETA JONES! Couldn’t be happier that he’s back 🎉😂

I love this movie not only is it strange but it also has a good message behind it if you get passed the strangeness and actually pay attention to the meaning. But the strangeness is what I love about it anyway it's great.

The giant scene is one of my favorites. I love how one giant is perpetually falling and the other one is anti gravity , so they both need each other so they can stay in place. One without the other cannot exist. I was heartbroken seeing them get separated. IT'S A LOVE STORY OKAY 😂

Haha, finally someone is talking about this. Watched it as a kid a lot of times, and the secret riddle part always stuck with me. It's honestly a great movie, all things considered.

Thank you so much for uploading this! Used to watch this all the time as a kid but forgot what it was called and i only had like "screenshots" in my mind. I was actually thinking about this movie last week of all things

I was introduced to this movie when I was like 11ish in an art class on a random movie day. THE most amazing experience ever. The volume was too low for me to understand anything but my eyes had a buffet that day, and I had to go home and rent it for a year before i got it for Christmas. Bonous points for it being inspired by Labyrinth. The "close to you" song is STILL my jam. Thats when i learned that i love music box music. ❤

I love this movie so much. I was a teen when I first saw it and I had to show it to my friends. I even made my current partner watch it with me last year.

I swear, when I was watching your video of "Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart" I thought: 'If he like this, It would be cool if he made a video of Mirrormask' ... 🤣 I'm so glad you did 😁 And yes, Dave MacKean's artwork is a little out there 😂

OMG yes i've wanted you to cover this! So excited

Thank you for covering this movie, I've been curious about it and it sounds pretty cool! Going to go watch it now, I love your videos Pig!

The song during the mind control scene is “Close to You”, originally performed by the Carpenters. A lot of the Carpenters’ music tow the line between soft and pretty, and being almost creepy, making them a great choice to tweak slightly and make them so unsettling (like Sonic Youth’s cover of “Superstar”).

The Dream's mask bit caught me off. I have never been laughing this hard in days.The point of the mask and the singing .Ouch 😂😂😂😂

My high school art teacher showed us Mirrormask in class before we did a mask-creating project and it's been my favorite movie ever since 💖

The song is actually a real song from 1970 by the Carpenters. The title is (Long to Be) Close to You. The Carpenters are one of my mom’s favorite groups. I grew up hearing their music. A highlight is actually their Christmas album which was recorded and completed after Carol Carpenter died… the album has many instrumental tracks which are all really good… but hearing Carol sing is truly the highlight. “Merry Christmas, Darling” is an original song and is absolutely beautiful. It’s a favorite of mine I love to listen to every year. She had a beautiful voice and I recommend going to listen to their songs. She unfortunately died from bulimia… which hasn’t been in the spotlight in a while but truly can be a killer. If you feel like you need to purge, please get help. It can and will kill you. And that’s no joke. Looking out for you all. You’re perfect and exactly as you were meant to be. Live your best life ❤

Kay, but this is literally one of my favorite movies from my childhood. I was a weird kid.😂 my parents were both really artsy, so I guess they passed that down.

this movie is totally underrated. it is so imaginative and i actually think the vignette adds to the style of the film. there is no film like this. the closest i can think is the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. not sure if you have reviewed that one but its definitely out there in terms of style and plot. there is such a steampunk carnival vibe to both films that i just adore.

Pig finds such cool movies to talk about. You're currently my favorite movie youtuber. I remember watching this movie as a kid and being fascinated the stone couple upset me too :c

I was absolutely obsessed with this movie in my preteen years! Glad to see it covered.

This is a movie I've been hoping that you'll talk about ever since I started regularly watching your content so to see this when I woke up I was hyped!

I was obsessed with this film as a kid. I absolutely love the version of The Carpenters song used in this movie. It's soooo good!

I was shown this movie in art class in seven or eighth grade and for the rest of my life up until now I’ve tried to remember what it was called. I finally figured it out like last year and I’m so glad to see you reviewing it now Bionicpig.

THIS HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE MOVIE SINCE I WAS LITTLE ❤ no one ever knew what tf i was talking about 😭

Dudeeeee i love this movie sooooo much, the vibe the music is soooo good, especially the close to you music and the ending. Chef kiss good

I am so so happy that you reviewed this movie!!! ❤️ one of my favorites throughout my childhood, and adulthood.

Looove that you're bringing these characters back I missed that funny side of your channel! 💓

Saw this thanks to my high school art teacher putting it on for us twice, once for the first half and then for the second half another day. Loved it so much I immediately went out and bought it. Never known anyone who has seen it before. I always show it to friends, who are so weirded out and not into it for the first 15 minutes, but fall in love with it by the ending ^_^

When I finished watching your Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart video I was like man I wonder if he's seen Mirrormask♥️

Remember watching this movie with my dad before he passed, we both loved the visuals and Valentine was his favorite design wise! We had no idea what the plot was, but enjoyed it anyway! Great vid :)

I loved this movie so much as a kid. One of the movies I loved to fall asleep to. The dark crystal, the labyrinth, and Coraline is apart of my childhood bedtime movies. I love me some Jim Henson flims.

dude yes, you're covering another cool movie you don/t hear about often. thanks man. i appreciate you.

This is my second favorite movie of all time!!!! I was obsessed with this movie as a preteen!! So happy you covered it :0

I literally love this movie I remember I used to beg my mom to put it on as a little kid because every time I watched it I would fall asleep half way through, I still have insane dreams about this movie

I've been waiting for this video for years! Yay :3

PIG! I commented asking for Mirrormask like 2-3 years ago. I'm so happy to see this! Hope you enjoyed the ride

I watched this movie when I was a kid I remember bits of it. Also I was just remembering this film and looking into it, and then suddenly you make a video on it. The world works mysterious ways

- My queen, do you remember what you told us to do when the princess escaped the first time? - The FIRST time?!!!!!!!!!

I love MirrorMask so much. It definitely helped change my perspective because I first watched/discovered it when I was a similar age to Helena, and her feelings and emotions felt like a reflection (hehe) of how I had been feeling. It made me feel seen.

I m so happy you did a video on this movie

I love your videos ❤❤ You always introduce me to some cool and weird things!

Oh my god yes! I remember watching this movie years ago with my family, and about 20 minutes in my parents turned it off for being to scary. I've been trying to figure out what the name of it was for years, Thank you for this review!

The visual strangeness of this movie can be explained by one thing: Dave McKean. This is Dave McKean’s personal style. He designed the film, the idea was based on a dream he had, he storyboarded the whole thing, lead the team of student animators to bring the creatures to life. He and Neil Gaiman put their beautiful brains together and this is what came out.

Holy shit! I have been looking for this movie forever. I used to watch this as a child on the movie channel but I never remembered the name ,and I could not find a way to describe the film either. I was starting to think it was just a fever dream 😂 Thank you so much

I watched this when I was like 14, and have had an art book & movie poster & DVD of it since then. I don't know why but I felt like I related more to this movie/girl than most of the other movies I saw back then...

I loved watching mirror mask when I was young on those obscure movie channels. I was also a really addicted to watching coraline. I’m learning that I’m a Neil Geiman fan without knowing it was his style is great news

fantasic vid as always! The film looks super interesting Ill def have to watch it sometime, the creatures look so cool and I love the concept and strangness Though I can agree the vignette looks a bit odd to have on constantly, I do enjoy the vibe of it simultaneously.

For the longest time I thought this movie was a fever dream since I first saw it as a kid on TV, and it never aired since. Then years later out of nowhere on tumblr I saw a gifset and decided to rewatch it. Peak obscure fantasy 10/10

THIS MOVIE IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE. Thanks for sharing and bringing others into the beautiful madness that is Mirrormask
