The STRANGEST movie ive ever seen | Jack And The Cuckoo Clock Heart 

I never understood Jack the Ripper's random-ass appearance either, but the movie itself is a banger 💪🏾

THIS IS MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MOVIE!! YAAAAASS!!!! Also I highly recommend listening to the sound track in French, Joe's rap sound less cringe as well lol ALSO ALSO accordion trains and buses do in fact exist!

Omg yes !! So nice to see you talking about this underrated gem

idk why but I was OBSESSED with this movie when I was younger

I think the jack the ripper part was a personification of Jack's guilt for "killing" joe

Bro this movie was my go to when I was young. I understood nothing about it but it was sooooooo gooooooooooood.

The way you describe movies is honestly very captivating. You clearly care about representing the work honestly while giving your thoughtful takes on the films as a whole. You are definitely an underrated RU-vidr

Bro i love your channel so much because you find some old nostalgic animated films i used to love as a kid and just remind me of them nice job😊

So happy you reviewed this. One of my favorite movies fr

Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart always had sexual undertones this is literally one of the songs in the bands Dionysos songs litterally has the name of a female part as its title it says “[Redacted] Mon Amour” When Jack first meets Acadcia swirls appear on her chest. The movie had a lot of sexual undertones The sexual undertones were there and even more so in the album I think than in the movie, most likely to tone it down for a younger audience even tho I would t recommend this movie to children. This movie was my favorite growing up and still is, it’s so unique and I loved it. No wonder one of my favorite games is Lies of P, and I prefer foreign films over movies made in the US

everytime when they first sing all I see are stars gives me goosebumps tbh

I first watched this movie when I was 6 and I can intensely remember every detail of my first watch

God the ending of this movie fucked me upas a child, I cried so hard oh my godI still tear up at the thought

This was and is my all time favorite movie since I was like 7 and I’m so happy it’s getting attention

This movie felt more like a series of interconnected music videos than a movie

I remember being sick one day and I was in my moms bedroom all day watching Netflix movies, I eventually watched this and it's the only movie I still remember from that day it just stuck in my mind for years

YEEEEEES THANK YOU FOR FINALY COVERING THIS MASTERPIECE

I vividly remembered this movie for so long, I always rewatch it every so often. This movie is one of my favorites, it’s so amazing

I used to watch this movie A LOT so this video just make me feel kinda nostalgic ❤

I'm so happy you reviewed this movie! I've loved it for years omg

i found this one day in 2019 on prime and i’ve been obsessed since

FINALLY SOMEONE REVIEWED THIS!! It’s so bizarre and burtonesque. Thank you for reviewing this masterpiece!

The book that this movie is based on is AMAZING. I hope that anyone who likes this movie reads the book too.

This is and will forever be my FAVORITE MOVIE thank you for covering it😭🥺🥺🥺

Ive seen this to many times to count, its a vibe if your trying to sleep

this movie tramatized me so much that gave me a panic attack that triggered my ocd like crazy that made my life a living hell. needless to say i haven't watched it since

I USED TO LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH WHEN I WAS LITTLE!!

I was so happy when i saw this video. Its one of my favorite romance movie!

Yeeesss! I love this movie and was one of the many to suggest it. Now I need to go rewatch it.

I remember watching this movie as a kid I got like halfway through and just gave up

Feelin like the bullying scene is for sure symbolic of the way your heart goes insano style dropping beats thanks to fear adrenaline. Anyway, this movie has the spirit of an "Alice in Wonderland" type of media, which is made to be entertaining in that creepy and surreal but oddly beautiful sort of way.

The reason the music in the movie IS as good as you say is because the author of the original book is the lead singer in a band named Dionysus and they helped make the soundtrack (their music is SUPER good) furthermore, jack and miss acacia are based off of the author and his wife Olivia Ruiz and they both voice each other in the original language of the movie, olivia ruiz is also whos singing in the song Malagueña

I can't believe you found this movie, this is one of my favorite movies ever, if you'd like (id highly suggest it) check out and read the book, also you might like to listen to the music, its made by a band named "Dionysos" (the French band not the Canadian band), they have many albums, but listen to the one from the movie first, it is in French but it doesn't really matter, thank you if you read.

Ever since this movie i almost listen to band that did the soundtrack daily. The music is very different from what ive heard til that time. I listened to a couple other french artists as well because of this movie.

I remember watching this movie one day because I was bored and it was on Netflix. Watched it with my sibling and WOW we had a blast lol

Jack the Ripper appeared in the beginning when Jack was going in the Ally, also I believe it’s supposed to symbolize how Jack feels guilty about what he did to Joe and that he thought he killed him and I’m guessing he felt like Jack the Ripper, making the scene all in Jack imagination (also the names being the same yk)

jack and the cuckoo clock heart is my fav movie

I LOVED THIS MOVIE AS A KID

I HAVEN'T WATCHED THIS IN SO LONG

Good to know I’m not the only one who was traumatized by this movie as a child. Might have to watch it again see or I feel about it now

I agree with EVERYTHING you said!!

I watched this movie once, on a 7 hour plane trip where i was sleep deprived and sick, the movie felt much more normal then

FINALLY SOMEONE HAS REVIVED OUR CHILDHOOD! I remember watching this movie (English dub) when I was 8 in 2015, As a kid, I didn't know this movie was not meant for kids. We didn't have internet back then so how did I find this movie? Well I bought a new Blu-ray Disc in the store and I found it. I'm from the Philippines and in my opinion, I think this move was the last one in stock and yes, it was rare, no joke though. In 2020, I was humming the song "Flamme a lunettes" and that was 5 years AGO but the song wouldn't let me forget about it! Here right now, this will never gets old..and I'm still obsessed over Joe because AGGGHH!!! Who has a crush on Joe? Raise your hand!!! 10:09 Oh I KNOW he's F^^K^NG SEXY!!!! Also can somebody bring Niffty here because she's into bad boys? I'm just joking.. Niffty is 20 LMAO. 22:20 "But not only Madeleine, his mother who raised him. But his mother, who actually birthed him." WHAT!? I WAS QUESTIONING WHAT HAPPENED TO HER AFTER GIVING BIRTH TO JACK! SO SHE WAS DEAD THIS WHOLE TIME?!

2nd favorite movie ever! (after coraline) Watching it since I was little!

I've been waiting for you to do this movie for yeeeeeeears

Well need to explain something here : 1- his adoptive mother is considered to be a witch, so she's hiding and always afraid of cops and population. 2- Joe sings like this because in the original version this is Grand corps malade who sings (a french poet who do slam) 3- most pixar's animation were done in france so we have good animators 😊 4- it's not weird in France and for an older dude to give love advice and that being go to see her directly and surprise her for romance, but i get it's a creepy character in english This movie was really sad but i always kept a good souvenir of it

It's like a combination of Corpse Bride, Repo: The Genetic Opera, We Happy Few, Little Nightmares, and a crazy dream that you have after drinking too much Mountain Dew before bed.

I love this movie

Not going to lie.. you just keep surprising me with gus movie lmao "I killed joe" Now "Jack the ripper" is just here Im like wtf? Sounds fire 🔥

Jack the Ripper is meant to be a parallel to how the kid is now a killer. And they are both running from their crimes. However, the boy doesn't want to be a killer or give in to being anything like Jack the Ripper. But that fear is hunting and threatening the boy.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!

I love the two headed girl(s?)😂

Finally! Someone talked about thissss

I FUCKING LOVE THIS MOVIE

OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WATCHED THIS!!

I would love for you to react to one of my favorite movies Mirrormask. It's from 2005 and its insane but i love it.

Why did she keep having thorns pop out of her

George living his best life... good for him ig??

so jack the ripper being in the movie also confused me alot. it's also in the book so I think it throws alot of people off. he tells jack he needs survive by frightening others. which is a theme in the next part of the story. I personally think Jack the Ripper is how Jack (mc) is starting to see himself. it is based in the same year jack the ripper was killing, so it wouldn't be far off to assume jack knows about this guy. and now that he's running away bc he believes he killed Joe, he's now consumed by the idea he will be a monster. that's planting the idea he has to scare of others in order to survive

It's probably been said, but this is originally a really, really good book! I believe it's translated from German?

I remember trying to watch it YEARS ago but saw the French version and couldn’t find the English version at the time. It was probably because it was before it was translated into English. But I remember thinking that I couldn’t get over the fact that the guy that voiced him as a kid sounded young but the guy that did the his singing voice for him as a kid sounded like a middle aged guy. Not only did I hate having to pause it so much to read the subtitles because they talked so fast but the singing was off key and they chose the wrong singing voices for the characters. It made me feel weird about it. Plus, I kept thinking the midwife’s head was way too big and weird looking. I just couldn’t finish watching the movie. Made me feel way too weirded out by what was going on. A lot of it just didn’t make sense to me. I probably only watched the first 10 minutes of it. Give it take a few minutes.

I am OBSESSED over jack. The ending always left such a bitter sweet moment. So many mysteries and things you don’t find out and it’s just a wonderful emotionally driving experience.

i vividly remember being traumatized by this movie as a child to the point that every single nightmare i had for like a year after contained some element from this movie, i have not rewatched since

jack the ripper is a manifestation of jacks fear of resorting to violence and miss acacia getting involved in it

Ive read that Jack The Ripper seemed to represent how kid Jack was scared he was going to be this violent killer. Basically a manifestation of his anxiety and fear of becoming an evil dude whos gonna kill women, maybe even Acacia

The reason jack didnt tell acacia he was the boy she was in love with was because he thought acacia was in love with joe, not him. Later he realizes she was talking about him and thats when george helps him tell acacia. Thats why jack was upset about the situation, he didnt know it was him at first.

I LOVED all the weird surreal parts of the movie. It felt like an old school Alice in Wonderland type fairytale like not everything makes sense but we’re all okay with it. Also the music is TOP TIER

'La mécanique du coeur' is like my favorite novel and when you tried to pronounce it i had an aneurism rapture. But very cool to see someone talk about this masterpiece ! fun fact : the original author (Mathias Malzieu) is also the principal director of the movie and the lead singer of the band (Dionysos) that made the music for the movie. So that's why everything just blends in so good. The ending is also very different from the book. it's kinda long to explain but here i go. SPOILER WARNING FOR THE ACTUAL NOVEL. So in that version Jack doesn't actually die and just gets in a long coma, pursues his dream to be with Acacia who is now married with joe, actually achieves it, but fumbles by not revealing his actual identity. Acacia gets really mad, dumps him and just lets Jack reflect on his actions and their consequences and they just go on and live their life.

The two-headed girl reminds me of the twins from Fran Bow.

cant believe he didnt acknowledge the part when the bullies absolutely launched jacks hamster into the sky by kicking it and the hamster was never shown or mentioned again

Joe, the best name for a bully

One of my favorite movies?? I ran. I don't even care what he says about it, I'm just glad he's making a video about it.

i watched this like ten years ago randomly on netflix when i was bored, and i liked it. it does have a lot of weirdness but that's part of it's charm. glad you are talking about it.

This movie was absolutely peak, i cried many times wwtching it as a kid.

this movie made me cry a lot

My mom rented this movie on redbox for me when I was a kid. It was the first movie to make me cry. I think I was like 8, and even as a little girl I just never cried for movies. And the end part where he basically dies and starts climbing up the snowballs made me cry.

A while ago, my older sister told me that Joe looked like younger Johnny Depp

Flammé a lunettes is one of my favorite songs period. Hugely underrated movie

BARKING RN THIS MOVIE/BOOK/ALBUM IS UNDERRATED AS HELL IT DESERVES SO MUCH PRAISE

Idk why but I was surprised to learn this was the first time you covered this film. I swear you've done it before

YES YES YES Finally SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THIS MOVIE OMG I watched this once since it's free on RU-vid and my mom and I just knew of it's existence and we've both just agreed that it's a fever dream of a movie

YESSS I LOVED THIS MOVIE SO MUCH AS A KID THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY EVER

YEEEES I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH. Best notification i've gotten all day

I remember watching this movie when I was like 11, the Jack the Ripper part was the most memorable part to me too. I always figured the reason why he shows up is to kind of show Jack's fear of being dangerous to other people around him after presumably killing Joe.

I remember how much I loved this movie even the parts that scared me. But when I showed my parents it they immediately told me that I couldn’t watch it again so after that I had to watch the movie in secret😅

There are three graves- Madeline's grave , Jack's fake grave (middle) and the cat's(tiny one )

This movie made me fucking cry when I watched it as a kid

"The coocoo went boom boom" has me cackling ksksksks

I can clearly remember how hard I fell in love with this movie as a child, I remembered every single part of it before it was cleared from my memory and you revived all those good memories of me watching and rewatching this movie which I'm very thankful for.

I've been eyeballing this movie for a while on the YT free movie section. Might actually watch it just to hear the music

Wasn't one grave for Madeline, one for the hamster that got punted like a football, and one for was Jack when they told everyone that he died instead of telling them that he really ran away?

You have no IDEA how excited I was ot see someone else enjoying this movie. It's so good. It's just so weird, so stilted, and yet, so real.

Dude thank you you have given so many movies of this style the love that they deserve STILL 9 FROM 2009 IS INCREDIBLE AND WISH IT WAS ACTUALLY MADE IN STOP MOTION BUT IT IS STILL AMAZING

I've literally been obsessed with this movie for years, thank you for giving it the attention it deserves

As a french, every time you talk about french movies it makes me kinda proud. Thanks.

Aww I've been waiting for this for so long! Thank you! I feel like this was somewhat a passion project, that's why it comes out a little weird sometimes, it is full of symbolism that you have to interpret yourself, like in poetry (like when Acacia literally covers herself with thorns when she feels uncomfortable), but it made me listen to the soundtrack over and over for weeks

its crazy how i watched this movie as a kid and remember loving it!! and i would rewatch it all the time during elementary and middle school, it was one of my favs growing up, even tho i didnt understand as a kid, i was so captivated by the visuals and the songs and I was a sucker for romance, i def cried at the end each and every time.

Finally!! I loved this movie as a kid and recently rewatched it was trying to find if u covered it but u didnt but FINALLY!!! Thank u so much Pig 🙌

Hi! The scene in the ghost train is a wink to the writer of the book, director of the movie and finally voice actor of Jack, Mathias Malzieu who has a band called Dionysos. It the french version of the greek god's name and "os" is "bone" in french so the skeletons are a play on words. Also it was one of my favourites growing up (I didn't watch the dvd that many times but I know the somgs by heart). I am surprised that the songs are well translated and sung in the english version. Even if it cannot compare to the original french ;)

I’ve been watching you since 7th grade (I’m in 12th rn) and i love every video that pops up on my feed
