      I think that the main strength of the Filmation movies were how invested most of the actors were and how they at least sound like they are enjoying their roles. A few could have been better but they aren’t as unbearable to listen to as Dingo or a majority of Good Times/Jetlag/Bevenfield voices tend to be. And the music is pretty decent to listen to even if the lyrics are mostly forgettable.

    Isn't it ironic how the only "unofficial Disney sequels" Filmation made were not only based on Walt Disney's first two animated movies but also how Disney *NEVER* made official sequels to them despite their Direct-to-Video craze in the 90s and 2000s?

      Closest was her appearance in Ralph breaks the internet or cameos in Disney games I guess

    while not subtle in the slightest, there IS a bit of genius to calling the villain "Lord Maliss": the whole idea that the Fruit of Knowledge from the story of Adam and Eve is an apple when, iirc, apples wouldn't have been known in that region at that time is actually a Latin pun from when they were translating the Bible into that language, since the Latin for "evil" is identical to the Latin for "apple", "mal", and of course that's where "malice" comes from, too
    (if you're curious, there's really no description of the Fruit of Knowledge beyond it being exactly that. i've heard that a more likely candidate for what it could really look like would be a pomegranate, or that it could've actually been _wheat_ and the whole story is a metaphor for the Neolithic agricultural revolution)

      @KasumiRINA 5 місяців тому +4

      Fruit is clearly a metaphor for knowledge, like if people KNOW about evil, they cannot resist doing it due to our own nature, and it also brings knowing mortality with it, as instead of living carefree in the Garden like magical forest critters, men get depressed about death... I'd call the villain "dude Applebottom" instead though.

    I still have a HUGE soft spot for HAPPILY EVER AFTER as something I used to watch on VHS as a preschooler. It's not a great film but it has a lot of little fun elements to it. Like as an autistic kid who had a lot of trouble in a school environment I related quite a bit to Thunderella having trouble with her powers while wishing I was as cool as Critterina.
    I revisited this movie in college watching it with my roommates who had never heard of it, & we all LOVED Lord Malice in his evil giggling ways. Very Vincent Price-ian.
    Personally I still love that regardless of her effectiveness, Snow White was willing to fight back & she's technically the one who killed him with him own magic cape. (I always found it so unsettling that it's implied he killed his own goofy minions with that cape.)
    Rest in power, Irene Cara. "Flashdance (What A Feeling)" is one of my favorite songs, & I still love the ending theme she sang for this movie.

    In addition to the celebrities, you mentioned, you forgot Carol Channing, who voiced Muddy. Then, there was Linda Gary, who voiced a couple of the dwarfelles; she was probably best known for voicing, Peter Parker‘s aunt May in the 1990s Spider-Man.
    I never saw the movie as a kid, but it blows my mind on why it took so long for the film to be released to the public. And, of course, it had to be trigger-happy - or in this case, lawsuit happy - Disney.
    Which relates to why the NES game was canceled. This Atlus-developed game was set to be released in 1991, but an indefinite delay of the film’s North American release resulted in the game’s cancellation.

    Honestly I like the idea of the Princess being the one to save the Prince for once. It flips the cliche of fairytales on its head and is always a nice change of pace. This is why I’ve always liked the games where Princess Peach is one of the hero’s and fights the main villain. The change I would have made is give Snow White Thunderella’s arc of not being confident with herself and abilities and the Dwarfelles all encouraging Snow White to overcome her fears. She is unsure of herself and doesn’t think she has what it takes to be a hero because she’s a Princess and that Princesses can’t be brave and fight evil. This way we have a more compelling reason for the Dwarfelles to be there and also promote some girl power without it being too sexist or in your face.

      A whimpering out end to one of the most forgettable animation studio ever. I can't think of a single true classic associated to them. Anything they do, another studio can do it better than them. Even the He-Man of Mike Young Productions topped their version. Maybe Fat Albert is their most memorable flagship show and even then, I am not certain it is widely remembered by others than by its devoted fanbase. I have heard positive things of Mighty Mouse and their take on Star Trek as well, but that's really about it.
      The only commendable thing I can say about them, is that they did their best to keep jobs localized in USA. But when others can do it cheaper and better, they don't really stand a fighting chance in hell.

That's why Filmation was known for factory producing their shows, and the limited, constantly reused animation. I'd say they had some decent sci-fi fare, they had a pretty good Batman series in the late 60's that came off like an animated version of the Adam West show, but a TERRIBLE 70's Batman cartoon that actually had Adam West and Burt Ward in there. Even they couldn't save it, and it was also the reason why The Joker wasn't in the Legion of Doom in HB's Challenge of the Super Friends.

    13:09 Don't let the good Doctor hear you talking about Latveria that way. He might have to get his best buddy Goron involved.

    I'm surprised you didn't comment on Mark Elliot voicing one of the trailers. Mark Elliot was pretty much THE Disney VA for trailers, so Filmation (or whoever did the ads for this film) getting him definitely makes it seem like a Disney-cash-in even more.

      Well, he wasn't doing work exclusively for Disney, he was a pretty popular choice to promote children's media back in the day.
      Hell, he even did stuff for Filmation like narrating the trailer for He-Man & She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword.

      Such a shame he was turned down. He would have been great.

    Been sick and bedbound since wednesday, so it's a delightful surprise to see a new video by you! I only know Filmation from He-Man so it's interesting to learn more about them.

    My grandmother that passed away last year had this tape. I know we're all dissing it right now but it brings me very fond memories. I remember it being epic. Then again, I haven't seen it since I was a child so who knows really, haha. I still find it cool that they gave them powers though 😊

      I feel the same way. My dad bought it for me in the early 90’s on vhs and it is still one of my fondest memories ❤

    Imagine being the announcer guy having to say “Snow White *IN THE LAND OF DOOM* “ as nonchalant as possible 😂😂
