    I'm so impressed that a children's show depicted toxic relationships so well, with the taffy pit being greedy and wanting to keep Ann all to himself, and the jester pushing the trio around, saying he's doing it because he "loved" them. Edit: I forgot to mention the king as well, as he only wanted to keep the trio around to use them, in this case to inflate his ego

      Honestly, yea. All the side characters (besides the playroom dolls) had something. Greedy had- well, greed, camel had possible schizophrenia, Looney had what I saw as mania, gadzooks had basically depression, and the king had insecurities big enough for a king.

      Honestly the camel I would say was chasing a high he'll never have to the point of almost dying trying to chase it-jumping off a cliff to find happiness.
      Honestly his character had the best metaphor and it actually teared me up at the end to see him finally happy and hearing Anne say "it's not just a mirage".

    • @ChaliceMovingXIV
      @ChaliceMovingXIV 5 місяців тому +30

      ​@CurtyTails each character is chasing something they will never have. Camel is looking for "Home", greedy is looking for "a sweetheart" king is looking for "the last laugh". What they all are seeking, Ann already has. Her song "what I see" shows that she sees happiness in the world and that she sees the same thing in herself. The camel is the protagonist of the film because he actualizes that within himself.

      This is the original Toy Story (unless there's an earlier one I don't know about). It's so nice to look at and I love how they credit the animators in the beginning. They did an amazing job. I think the movie may have been forgotten because of those 2 identical dolls. They're just creepy looking and annoying to me. If those needles segments were cut out, I think the movie would benefit from it because the racial issue would be gone and the flow would just be better. It was just a different time I guess. I don't have any proof of this, it's just a guess. I see it a lot of older media I've watched. Some stuff just ages poorly

      Apparently it's because of the director, Richard Williams who was an animator that had outrageously demanding expectations for his time, insisting to following the old 1920s standard of 24 frames per second that by the 70s had been dropped to 12 animation frames per second to cut costs. He upheld this same standard for his own personal animated film "the thief and cobbler" which took 30 YEARS to produce. it's a fascinating and heartbreaking story of it's own.

Richard kept missing deadlines on the project, and it became such a money-dump with no returns that his vision never saw the light of day, as he was forcefully removed from the project and finished production under the leadership of Warner Bros executives and then butchered even further by Disney.

    Okay but Ann and Andy are such a great sibling duo, like Ann is the sweetest thing ever and her voice is so adorable and so smoothing, also she's just so humble and caring.
    Andy is such a professional hater, but while he's hotheaded and sassy, he's still a great guy, like even if at first Andy was calling the Camel crazy, he still felt sympathy for him and offered to be his friend. These two are such lovable characters.
    Also, it's just so nice to see siblings care for each other and have each other's back. They're just so wholesome, and I love them so much.

      It got more play in the early 80s, when the Disney Channel first appeared on cable. It was in constant rotation, shown multiple times a week. This gave it enough lift I remember it was shown as a primetime movie on one of the big three networks. A Chuck Jones produced special with the same characters appeared after, sometime in the mid-80s. I've seen the Chuck Jones special floating around here on UA-cam.

    The movie was so sweet and gentle. The songs were so catchy and I seem to can't stop repeating them! When I first watched this, it reminded me of Toy story, just a bit older. And the thing they both share is they both pretty much have the same plot. Just ones about dolls and the other is about action figures and gadgets. I really enjoyed the movie alot! The quality is a little good for a movie from the 70's and for a platform that was from years later. And the thing that surprised me was that the 2 movies both have a new toy arrriving. Like ones a super cool buzz lightyear and the other is a french doll which is babette. The rest of the movie was very enjoyable.

    We’re always together
    Paper daises to explain
    Sunshine always follows rain
    And a heart that’s sweet and true
    Will help us weather the weather
    That’s what keeps us together
    Candy hearts and paper flowers
    Sunshine days and skies of blue
    Rhymes and songs we sing for hours
    Words to say “I love you true”
    Times get bad and then I worry
    How I’ll ever see it through
    But candy hearts and paper flowers
    Will always keep me close to you
    Will always keep me close to you
    If the night is gloomy and I’d like to hide
    Or a chill goes through me cus I’m scared inside
    That’s when I remember all the things you’ve done
    Little things that warm me like a morning sun
    And I feel so happy, don’t you see?
    Cus I start to thinking just how much you mean to me
    So let the night get gloomy any place I go
    I got you beside me, that’s a fact you should know
    It’s because I love you so
    If the night is gloomy and I’d like to hide (Candy hearts and paper flowers)
    Or a chill goes through me cus I’m scared inside (Sunshine days and skies of blue)
    That’s when I remember all the things you’ve done (Rhymes and songs we sing for hours)
    Little things that warm me like a morning sun (Words to say “I love you true”)
    And I feel so happy, don’t you see? (Times get bad but I don’t worry)
    Cus I start to thinking just how much you mean to me (Cus I know you’ll see me through)
    So let the night get gloomy any place I go (And candy hearts and paper flowers)
    I got you beside me, that’s a fact you should know (Will always keep me close to you)
    It’s because I love you so
    Candy hearts and paper flowers will always keep me close to you

      It’s amazing that even though he didn’t necessarily think this movie anything special, he and the animators still put heart and soul into directing it. Clearly with the massive cult following it has garnered it was a good call. Animation doesn’t necessarily have to tell a story that’s any good, it just has to make that story LOOK as good as possible.

    As someone with a fascination with avant-garde, unconventional, and/or ahead-of-it's-time, this film is straight up my alley. I just can't get enough of scenes like 53:40-55:34. It is unbelievable that this was hand-animated. Putting the entire background into fluid motion I don't imagine is an easy process. Traditional hand-drawn animation was and is a miracle, but this...THIS is unimaginably mind blowing. You can't rotoscope living dolls and toys, glob monsters, and anything else to the like. Those don't exist at all, but these artists managed to animate these things exactly how they would move. It is as if they rotoscoped footage that existed only in their heads. All I have to say is "wow."
    Yes. Practically this entire movie is utterly nonsensical and very very weird, but that's part of the odd beauty of it. That is exactly what unconventional art is. True forms of art comfort the disturbed and/or baffled, and disturb and/or baffle the comforted.
    Yes. There are a few choices that this film makes that are just insufferable to me personally, like those abominable Shining-twins from 5:12-5:28 and 9:43-9:52. Honestly, that whole first nearly half hour play room scene is very hard for me to get through, but it makes you appreciate the moments when the artistic qualities of this film and sheer talent of these artists really shine.
    If I were to critique this movie, I would say that there are way too many songs. I may be being petty, but it is Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure, not Raggedy Ann & Andy: An Opera Adventure. A lot of these songs simply didn't need to be there, and frankly there are a few that are quite forgettable. It is OK to have a brief running time. It is vital to be equally style and substance, and it is vital to be quality over quantity.
    I hope this classic's dire lack of mainstream recognition becomes a thing of the past. It is shameful that you can't officially stream this anywhere, and the fact that the only way of officially owning this classic is if you buy one of the two or so listings of VHS copies on eBay. If it weren't for preservers like you, this groundbreaking classic would be tragically qualified as lost media, so thank you so much for giving us a way to see this.
