Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure (6/9)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- Largely directed by Richard Williams (until the budget very obviously ran out), this is by no means a great film - in fact it's rather a mess - but one I watched often as a kid. Williams of course went on to do do much bigger things (The Thief and the Cobbler, Roger Rabbit).
This is my own restoration from a 35mm print provided by collector KA. Transfer to video was funded by Patrick McCart and the wonderful members of the orangecow.org forum. The film is not on DVD. A few seconds here and there at the beginning of the film were restored from VHS.
The music is by Joe Raposo, best known for doing delightful work on Sesame Street, but Joe had a bit too much control over the product in this case, and there are simply too many songs, and not enough script.
It's also a very strange and surreal film, which is only exacerbated by the fact that beautiful animation, such as Art Babbit's Camel With the Wrinkled Knees, and Williams' animation of Grandpa and "No Girl's Toy", sits alongside animation of often much lesser quality, making it seem a hodgepodge. This film seemed to catch certain fine animators at the end of their careers, and most others at the beginning of their careers- some went on to do amazing things.
This film played frequently on The Disney Channel back in the day and has lodged in the memories of many a child of the 80s.
However, it's never been seen on video in its original widescreen Cinemascope format, which really helps you appreciate the detail in some of the animation (and the lack of detail in other animation). It's certainly one of the major animated films of the 1970s and, I think, worth watching and remembering.
The Looney Knight’s voice actor must’ve had a blast voicing this guy.
Tsu Lee I bet you’re right! Alan Grigsby Sues was an absolute riot, so I’m sure he was having the time of his life!
Marty Brill is channeling Mel Brooks and his German accent beautifully😂😂😂
That knight sounds a little bit like Roger from American Dad
If they ever re-dubbed this film I would cast Tom Kenny to voice the looney knight!
@@Dstone1187 Kind of and I love American Dad.
Ok, the pit with the polymorphic thing eating itself was bad, but now I think they've officially crossed into one of the forgotten levels of Hell.
John Tumahab I know for a fact that the future seasons of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic is going to be like Raggedy Ann & Andy A Musical Adventure because some episodes were like this movie which would be awesome
@@ProMonarchyGenius how'd this pan out for you btw dude
''Making fun of other people never made anybody bigger than anybody else!'' I love how this is the angriest Ann has ever sounded in this movie. She's so wholesome!
Agreed she rarely gets angry as she’s not as quick to lose temper unlike her brother Andy
Poor Andy is the getting the hell beat out of him.
lol
You got to feel bad for Andy, first he gets squished by a box and now, he almost gets his head blown off by a crazy ass knight
Pls don't curse
I do feel bad for Andy especially since he had to lose his temper which was something he didn't want to do but he was forced to
Crushed by a box
Electrocuted *twice*
Pied *only god knows how many times*
And a cigar shoved in his mouth, nearly blowing him into pieces...
Yeah I'd be pretty pissed too *:)*
@purplegirl5436 yeah I keep saying that to others who say F you or OH sh yeah I understand
It looked like Sir Leonard wasn't to happy when the Raggedy's were pranking him. He got a taste of his own medicine.
Well Sir Leonard messed with Andy to the point where he had enough of the abuse so tectechnically he deserves it
Sir Leonard Looney always made me laugh ever since I was little! His song puts me in stitches!
The weirdness of this movie must have gotten to me, I'm immune to it xD
I know the feeling
Love your pic; from another cute but nightmarish cartoon series 😆
Andy Dick somehow traveled back in time to voice this knight... wow.
Holy crap, the scene with the chequered floor and staircase chase parallels that of the chase scene and designs from TTATC.
yeah its like this was the test drive and on thief he perfected it.
What is TTATC?
The Thief and the Cobbler
@@cursesnuts it's a shame that movie wasn't finished. and an even bigger shame was the edited cut they released......
Austin Morrison Search for The Thief and the Cobbler: The Recobbled Cut, and you can see what Williams had in mind. It’s glorious!
1:27
Andy: Hey where'd all the colours go?
Ann: Oh! Our voices!
Camel: ?????
@@charleenemiller1166 thanks didn't realize it unhighlighted.
Just when I think I've reached the most bizarre part of the movie, it just keeps getting weirder and weirder. I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable right now.
Jesus Christ! For a character as wholesome sounding as Raggedy Ann...this whole movie sure seems like a giant mind fuck
I honestly don't blame Andy for losing his temper but he was being abused so he had to lose it in order to protect his sister which was a good thing but deep down despite Andy being tough he still cares about his sister
Good ol' fashioned nightmare fuel
Luke 1008 it still lurks on the deepest part of my nightmares
The moment I saw that dude I was like .............. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!
The black and white room is a fun and hilarious ride to enjoy in my early childhood.
Also, there is an equation to King Koo Koo:
King Koo Koo = Achmed the Dead Terrorist + Dr. Robotnik (AOSTH)
Maxwell Rochette My God, you're right!!
Throw in a bit of turbo and then you have King Koo Koo.
9:26, 10:06
5:07
And he has a German accent and wants to be emperor of everything...
Director Richard Williams would later replicate and even improve that staircase sequence in The Thief and the Cobbler.
I saw it as a child on the big screen and feel so fortunate to have seen it bigger than life. I too have always liked surreal things as a kid and still do! It's nice to know someone out there actually gets this movie!
'If I could only achieve total hilarity, complete hysteria, und uncontrollable laughter...'
I recommend watching some of Brian Regan, your majesty. :B
The only thing he finds funny is watching bad things happen to other people.
Oh no, a pie is flying right at Ann when the video ends! D:
Wow, Raggedy Ann sure is polite.
wow that animation! it's like they fell into the storyboards and made it even more fluid! also how many nightmares do you think spawned from the loons in King Kookoo's court?
Too many. Waaaay too many.
I thought 100000 😢
Did Napoleon succeed? Don't be dumb.
Actually, that's just a myth, Napoleon was never really historically short.
3:03 this scene remember me the chase scene of the thief and the cobbler
Did I notice a nod to Winsor McCay during that black&white sequence? That staircase looks very much like a Little Nemo strip.... 7@=e
During the theatre release :
Father: ...Alright, I think Its time to go.
Child: Really?
Father: We've been punished enough....
Soory, but... "SILENCE! I KEEL YOU!"
We leave the Big-Lipped Alligator Moment and go straight to Deranged Animation.
I just watched this film and now I'm going back to this scene to try and comprehend how logic just fucking shattered.
I remember this. Oh God. I remember all of this. Especially that Taffy Pit. Moment it turned on, I was back to being three years old and wondering what the hell was going on.
3:50 it's sounds like they're saying kill the king
It's actually "hail the king"
I think the only reason King Koo Koo got the job of ruler of Looney Land is because he's the only inhabitant of his realm who ISN'T totally bonkers.
...I'm going back to the Taffy Pit...
I was brought here because of Nostalgia Critic...I am not dissapointed.
You and me both! I really enjoyed this!
Uhhhh... Bye! *runs away screaming*
cocaine is one hell of a drug
KooKoo looks as if Dopey was a short-tempered king along with spiky hair
I haven't seen this movie in 35 years. The last time I saw it I was in kindergarten and we went to the local public library to see it. I never saw it again, not on TV, video, nothing. Now I see why.
The black and white scene spawned several dreams and nightmares for me as a kid that I totally forgot about until just now when I watched this again. Especially the periscope eye...
@FenrirSkollXxXLuna That's a big thing I like about this movie. No matter how little characters like King Kookoo and The Greedy have to do with the story, certain people can actually relate to them. Their musical numbers are actually quite deep when you get down to it and relate to real life problems associated with such beings.
Psychopaths?
9:20 the lore gets DARK. Is that what happened to the loonies? They were regular people who were kidnapped and forced to entertain King Koo Koo and once he grew bored of them, they were cursed, transformed into heinous abominations and each one lost their minds.
The Thief And The Cobbler!
Hail to Our Glorious King is my jam, however its brevity.
so what? the musical bits are pretty good, as well as the animation, the backgrounds (whenever not black) have an extraordinary amount of detail, (In the previous part, i actually saw the greedy's face in the background on a rock) and the characters (Especially Andy) have extraordinary amounts of personality.
@nanokip you should never take nostalgia critic seriously, he's purely for entertainment and his reviews hold no merit. besides, this movie is pure gold. Richard Williams is a genius.
"Do some more to this one here. I mean, he makes me expand real good!" What in the blue fuck?! How can you NOT picture a donk blowing up like a balloon?
I would've never found the subliminal messages in this film as a child. Found one at 2:15, the preiscope that has Loony Land on it; with the letters NY and LA highlighted in different colors. Those two cities now, if not then in 1977, sure are very loony in their own way, indeed!
maybe this film was animated in both NY and LA?
i kind of like loony land, but I think it needs a few hundred kittens as a slight adjustment to its government.
The loonie knight was voiced by the late Alan Sues of Laugh-in fame,
4:28, he thinks he has it bad, he should check out 2020.
"It's not easy being smol during COVID!"
@@lunarose2529 exactly
How does one draw 3D moving rooms by hand?
donado xie practice
Slowly.
donado xie Lots of effort, lots of talent and LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of hard work!
I love raggdy ann and raggdy andy
Me too 😁👍
5:23 Raggedy Ann: You’re not so short.
King kookoo: YES I AM.
The king is animated like Yosemite Sam...
Both of these characters were animated by Gerry Chiniquy, who was Friz Freleng's go-to animator. A lot of those flat, minimized head bobs and lip movements were a staple of his work on the Looney Tunes cartoons and many DFE cartoons.
Quentin T. That’s awesome, thanks for the info!
5:05 he is short make everyone laugh like crazy mad
"I AM SHORT!!"
Kookoo has a low self-esteem
Why did King Kookoo raise his voice and scream to say, "QUIET, YOU MORONS"!
XD Jojo to be continued moment at the end.
The entire time the king was screaming "Silence!" I was thinking of Achmed the Dead Terrorist...
Awww I love that song^^ So cute.
I'm scared
Proof cartoons from my day were way cooler than today's due to massive amounts of acid dropped by the animators haha! Too fucking twisted
I see you everywhere also god is real
Didn't they use the whole "long, endless stairs" and "black & white tiles" thing in The Thief and the Cobbler? I feel as though I've seen it before.
+Rubberman202 Yep they did.
The stairs actually were taken from a comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland. Grew up reading it.
Andrew Todaro Cool!
I. I think I'm glad I never watched this movie as a kid. *shudders*
I feel so fortunate to have not seen this movie as a child.
Is there a single child in existance that DIDN'T get nightmares from Sir Looney? I'm 17 and I know I'm gonna have nightmares from this shit... >_>
this movie is so damn funny...i love it.
everything hand drawn I love it
He isn't wearing pants according to my vision.
Omg, I thought I was the only one who thought this!
Watched this Movie when it was played in the late 80's one Easter in the Uk - I was really drawn to it ! an it stuck in my memory for years until I rediscovered it - I remember just loving the randomness of it all!! my favorite sequence was Loony land for sure! I always liked surreal things as a kid, - this, return to OZ, the 1972 alice in wonderland film, Baron Munchausen etc etc
I love how the video ends just before Ann gets pied in the face
Andys a good brother
Yeah i agree with you especially when he told Sir Leonard to leave his sister alone twice which further proves that he is a good brother
Wonderful movie...pure magic!
I would've never found the subliminal messages in this film as a child. Found one at 2:15, the preiscope that has Loony Land on it; with the letters NY and LA highlighted in different colors. Those two cities now, if not then in 1977, sure were very loony, indeed!
Raggity Ann freaked me OUT when I was little, I would credit this because there was no way I could have seen it until now.
This is some trippy shit
I think king kookoo would like the food fight scene in "max keeble's big move"
Oh my, Ive never watched this movie before and seeing this guy gave me really weird flashbacks to Dumbo
Sir Leonard The Looney Knight looks and acts like Discord from My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic it's like MLP FIM was partly inspired by Raggedy Ann & Andy A Musical Adventure which is awesome :D
lol well you know Discord can look like anything
SunflowerCherries Maybe Sir Leonard and Discord are the same person
Funny you should mention MLP and Discord, because I totally have fantasized this scene being what it would be like if Discord had won against the mane six, where all the ponies would either be clowns or these wacked out creatures and they'd be singing this anthem. Instead of Equestria it would be Discordia.
No. He's worse.
THAT SONG IS IN MY HEAD!
The animation is great at least since this was made in the 70's and I like it
anyone know what song plays during the checkered hallway chase sequence? its incredibly catchy
It's a variation on Sir Leonard's song with added ragtime flourishes. Joe Raposo was a genius with the piano riff here, increasing the tempo to a ridiculous pace, then crashing it at the end. I wonder if he did a pratfall off the bench to get a laugh? It's the kind of thing Joe would do.
Andy Leclerc this is a bit of a late response, but thanks so much!
"Did Napoleon succeed?... Don't be dumb."
XD
@watermelon668 actually it came from a Nemo comic, that served as an inspiration for the staircase chase
Welp, I love you too, silly boy!!
well if you think about it, Ann and the Camel don't have as fiery as a reaction as Andy.
The 1st 3 mins of the this part of the movie is what I imagine it would be like to be on an intense acid trip lol
7:45 Lol, "Oh, oh, do some more to this one, he makes me expand real good."
rip ann at the end
I call those jerky beings in Koo-Koo's court "goldbergs."
I wanna go home.
king kookoo's hair looks like 3 douglas fir trees
1:18 this is where i think i am every time im high
I could totally see Robin Williams playing the loony knight. "Hey, it's Raggedy an! Oh, Fantastic!"
Agreed! It's turning more and more into nightmare fuel.
when the periscope with eyelashes peeked out of the water, it reminded me of the dianoga from "star wars: a new hope"
king koo koo looks like Mung Daal
***** Mung dual doesn't exist in the 70's.
Really? I thought the Ass-Clown Loonie Knight looked more like Mung Daal guy from Chowder. King Kookoo looks like Yosemite Sam in a king's outfit but with a german or french accent.
7:25 *I SAID STOP*
hehe. but it's so cute.^^
Candy hearts and paper flowers....
okay I KNOW the animator behind King Koo Koo worked on some Looney Tunes (I think in the 70s), I've seen the way that character moves before. but I don't know who exactly all I know is that I recognize the animation movement
This is crazy😮
