Are you joking? His performance in Little House of Horrors was fabulous, and everyone knew and said it. And that's after he was world famous as one of the Four Tops.
Ruby Nibs Hey, it was Levi's words, not mine. When he was asked to do Audrey II, he asked his buds (no pun intended) if he should do it, and they said "Sure."
To be fair, This plant sounds like a normal person, it has already displayed abnormal behavior, and it's promising him fame and fortune("Would you like a Cadillac Car? Or a guess shot on Jack Parr? How about a date with Hedy Lamarr? You're gonna get it! If you want it, baby.)
"Oh man, I could never cut up anyone up and feed them to a hungry plant like that...But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as a butchered corpse? Delightfully devilish, Seymour."
@EumosVideos no, it wasn't When I was younger, I loved watching the shrek movies Even tho they had mature jokes However, as I got older, I realized what they meant
It's actually really smart how they did the motions for the puppet. They recorded the plant in slow motion, then played it back faster to make it look like it's moving smoother and more lifelike. How they merged the slow motion and live action with the actors however, is beyond me.
So they sped up the footage? Then forget the puppet, Rick Moranis was able to still look like he's moving naturally when sped up! And they couldn't have overlayed Rick Moranis and the puppet, since Rick himself said that he forgets he's working with a puppet on the set.

I remember when I saw the stage version years ago, when Seymour said "slit my wrists?!", the Audrey II puppet's mouth flew wide open and went AAAAAAAAAAAH, made me laugh so hard!
@@bonnieparkertheoutlaw7353 this movie is called little shop of horrors, it's about a plant from outer space finding its way into a plant shop, the owner (seymore) finds it sees that its sentient and that it grows from blood. After awhile the plant grows bigger and seymore realizes he can't keep feeding it his own blood. But the plant ends up convincing him the lure in people and sell the plants offsprings. After like 2 days seymore love intrest (Audrey) enters the shop and the plant, which is way larger now, tries to eat her. Seymore figures out the plant is trying to take over the world and quickly goes to his shop in time to save Audrey. The plant is now pissed and tries to kill seymore. Seymore electrocute the plant and it explodes. BUT the original ending was longer and the plant ate seymore and took over the world with the other plants.
I think that’s my favourite line in the whole film because it really is an inanimate object in real life. But the puppet and puppeteers are so good that it really looks like it’s alive.
There is something so sinister and - yes it must be said - sexual about the line 'feed me Seymour, feed me all night long' ... this really is a song of seduction in the purest sense ... Audrey II seduces Seymour to his dark side, he's almost like an anti-Jiminy Cricket
One of the best contributions of composer Alan Menken, who thanks to the success of this film and the musical it's based on, would ultimately have him and this show's playwright/lyricist(and original director of the stage show) Howard Ashman join with Disney to work on the first three films of the Disney Renaissance(Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, and Aladdin), and soon(after Howard's sad death from AIDS) Menken would continue to work on Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Tangeled, and others, wining 9 Oscars, 11 Grammy Awards, a Tony Award, and Daytime Emmy Award!

Gonna say this right now, if the remake uses CGI instead of puppetry, it’s going to be extremely disappointing. If this was achievable in the 80’s I’d love to see what we can do now!
I hope they don't remake this they Mill butcher the living hell out of this amazing movie, if they make a puppet they couldn't possibly top the ones in the original movie
@@mr.._.6691, Oh, they could definitely make a better puppet now with all the advances we've made in tech since then... But, they wouldn't. Mfers can't even put real dogs in call of the wild.
fun fact when filming the puppet used for the plant they had to record it at double speed to make the movements match up with the audio, so when seymour and the plant are both on screen he's moving so slow to keep up with the pace of the film once its sped up
The Parrish Show I think a mix of both would be optimal. This scene looks so good because on set the song was played at half speed and then it was sped up after they filmed it which is a testament to rick moranis’ acting if anything. I think it’s likely that the remake will use a real puppet and just animate it’s lips and I’m okay with that
I don't understand why people get upset about remakes. It's just another interpretation. Who cares what they do. We always have the original (or in this case the 1986 remake, since the original is 1960)
Honestly this is probably one of my favorite versions of little shop of horrors because rick Moranis fits the roll so well and Levi stubbs is awesome as Audrey 2 I couldn't imagine anyone else playing him. Also rick could really sing i adore his voice
I still to this day think this movie has the best practical effects out of ANYthing since. The way the animatronic perfectly moves it's mouth to the words is amazing and fluid as all hell.
@@sansythepinkhairedskeleton1568 voice for comedic effect. Audrey 2 is a mother plant. She grows more Male plants can't reproduce only spread pollen. Twooy is a female with a deep sassy voice simply because it's funny.
Levi Stubbs, lead singer of one of the greatest musical groups in history. Doesn't get enough credit for the life he gives Audrey II. The motion meshed with his personality is just incredible. Great movie making.
I normally hate musicals but I absolutely adore this masterpiece the songs aren't an interruption but actually further the story let alone the fact the acting the puppetry and every single song is top tier stunning
Well, when the director is Frank Oz and with his background working with the master of puppetry Jim Henson of course it’s going to be great Even Jim Henson himself loved the movie and was amazed by the Audrey II puppet as well
This movie is the prime example of why puppetry was ahead of its time. This movie still holds up miles higher than many modern CGI-based movies. It’s just so much more realistic and authentic.
Levi Stubbs had the craziest laugh in this movie. I wish they had some footage of him doing his vocals for this. Watching him do the giggle at 3:20 always kills me.
God, the animation & body language of Audrey II is such perfection. The movements you can easily imagine with a human they’ve effectively translated to a plant & its tendrils! Also, the little giggles & Audrey covering their mouth with their “hands” is SENDING ME 🤣 Audrey is a player & Seymour is a fiddle!
We did this song in my summer camp, and we had a boy doing Seymour, a girl puppeteering Twoey, and a guy offstage doing the voice. The boy doing Seymour had a REALLY good voice, and the guy doing Twoey had a really deep voice, which was just perfect! Seriously, out of the songs we did, Feed Me was my favorite, and I wasn't even in that one
Damn I'm just...SO blown away with how good the puppetry is for Audrey Two! They really did an OUTSTANDING job with giving them such a wide array of expression and really bring them to life!
Does anyone know if this movie won any awards for its effects? Because it absolutely deserves to be awarded. And Levi Stubbs deserved SOMETHING for his phenomenal voice work!!! It is impossible to look away when Audrey 2 is taking/ singing!
It was nominated for Best Visual Effects and Best Original Song for Mean Green Mother From Outer Space(easily my favorite song) at the 59th Academy Awards but sadly lost both, which is insane!! For Best Original Song it lost to Take My Breath Away from Top Gun(Danger Zone is far better) thought with Visual Effects….it lost to Aliens so it was up against some incredible competition there
Years ago when my daughter was in high school she played Audrey in their production of Little Shop. The kids had an absolute blast putting it together. One of the parents was able to get the necessary plant puppet…lol,!it took up half the car. Good times
Why does Hollywood insist on extremely expensive CGI, when there were talented practical effect artists who could make things like this? What about the original Alien? Certain elements of The Thing?
Exactly. Jim Henson was a master puppeteer. Essentially, this movie was done by Sesame Sreet. It was even directed by Frank Oz (Grover). CGI is a lazy cop-out
I went to a play about the little shop of horrors, whoever was doing the voice for the Audrey 2 there was killing it! They had a really deep voice and it didn’t sound forced and they could sing in the voice too
I always wondered why Seymore never thought to just go to a blood bank. Also, I know everyone is talking about Levi Stubbs and don't get me wrong, his voice is awesome, but Rick Moranis has got some really good pipes too! The way his voice carries so much hesitation and a tinge of fear is great, and I especially love the way he sings "I don't know!" at 2:53.
Pretty sure those didn’t exist in the 50’s(believe that’s when the story takes place) And if they did, would probably be very strange what Seymour would say to the blood bank like “Oh, I need it for fertilizer”
This song is menacing and doesn’t need the music to be menacing. Not to mention the vocals are smooth like something smoother than butter. But the best part, the way Audrey 2 says phrases like “HOW BOUT THAT AAAAAAUUUUUDREY.” OR “MUST BE FRESH.” Just gives a insane tone to Audrey 2’s character.
You can do it!!!!❤ This is one of my favorite movies of all times I love Gina and Pam vocals in this joint are crazy! And Michelle weeks OMG their voices put together is soulful & magical❤ this movie is definitely a classic! All of the actors were great🎉 All three of them should have did a album😊
Tuey is one of the best villains from beyond this Earth. This is simply some fantastic animation, making em look like it's really there. Its motives are pretty simple, but the way of going about world takeover is surprisingly clever. And I dunno, maybe I'd be tempted to kill for it if it could sing that well!
i cant even watch clips of this movie without just becoming wholly interested in watching the movie. one of the only musicals i can stand, and also somehow one of my favorite flicks of all time (especially with the alternative ending which is fucking amazing if you havent seen it)

This puppet is the most impressive thing ever. There where times when I thought it was a cgi remaster, like with the original star wars movies, but no, it was just that good of a puppet
I was growing up when this came out and it was one of my favorites because it’s about the truth of all the different ways people Manipulate and hurt other people in order to get their way. Funny, how true this story is today in 2022

@@evanholloway1692 agree
Levi Stubbs doesn’t get enough credit for his acting & singing performance as Twoey.
That's because he doesn't want to overshadow his Four Tops friends.

@@eloiseockert6561 The plant is a big puppet but it's not quite as intricate as this so it moves in real-time.

It's a wonder how they got Twoey to move so fluently. He's not CGI animated, he's an actual puppet!
They originally played the song in slow motion and moved the puppet accordingly while filminh. Then they sped up the footage while editing.
So they sped up the footage? Then forget the puppet, Rick Moranis was able to still look like he's moving naturally when sped up!
And they couldn't have overlayed Rick Moranis and the puppet, since Rick himself said that he forgets he's working with a puppet on the set.
Super fluent the lip syncing is perfect
A green screen and a smaller recreated set with a puppet.
Dr. Tex
Rick moranis acted out his movements in slow motion so he looked normal when sped up
Levi Stubbs is really incredible, this performance is flawless and he's not even there
YOURE HERE??
37 years later and the effects still look incredible.
Aw heck yeah! CGI, especially nowadays, REALLY pales in comparison to practical effects!
THIRTY SEVEN?!?!?!😩😩😭😭 where the hell is the time goin

I doubt the puppetry in this movie will ever be topped.

Who did this puppet was great cause I've seen stage adap and it's not even close to this.
@@NAVEMAN3 Its a Frank Oz movie, so I always assumed it was the Jim Henson Creature Shop, which makes sense on why its so good
Lyle Conway. He worked with the muppet workshop and Jim Henson's creature shop. He also did work on the Dark Crystal and Return to Oz.

Who would’ve thought huh?.. 🍴😈
no, it's a gigantic Blood Glucose Monitor
People ALWAYS forget about the genius of this musical..
Grease & Chicago gets all the credits..
I went to a play about the little shop of horrors, whoever was doing the voice for the Audrey 2 there was killing it! They had a really deep voice and it didn’t sound forced and they could sing in the voice too
2:47-2:50. I'll be using that.
Jeremy Nalley thank you
the fact these were practical effects is insane. Also the casting was...so perfect.
I always wondered why Seymore never thought to just go to a blood bank.
Also, I know everyone is talking about Levi Stubbs and don't get me wrong, his voice is awesome, but Rick Moranis has got some really good pipes too! The way his voice carries so much hesitation and a tinge of fear is great, and I especially love the way he sings "I don't know!" at 2:53.
Pretty sure those didn’t exist in the 50’s(believe that’s when the story takes place)
And if they did, would probably be very strange what Seymour would say to the blood bank like “Oh, I need it for fertilizer”
This song is menacing and doesn’t need the music to be menacing. Not to mention the vocals are smooth like something smoother than butter. But the best part, the way Audrey 2 says phrases like “HOW BOUT THAT AAAAAAUUUUUDREY.” OR “MUST BE FRESH.” Just gives a insane tone to Audrey 2’s character.
Two of the most incredible, performances in film musicals. ❤️❤️
Rick can really sing and this movie was childhood
“What do you want me to do, slit my wrists??”
“😃” lmao
Pardon my french, but Levi Stubbs was FUCKING incredible as "Twoie." Rest in peace legend!
Audrey II:"Does this look inanimate to you punk?...If I can talk and I can move who's to say I can't do anything I want?"
You can do it!!!!❤ This is one of my favorite movies of all times I love Gina and Pam vocals in this joint are crazy! And Michelle weeks OMG their voices put together is soulful & magical❤ this movie is definitely a classic! All of the actors were great🎉 All three of them should have did a album😊
literally the way the plant moves is so freaking.... scary???? Idk honestly I just think about it a lot
"Does this look inanimate to you punk?!" Gets me everytime
This film is just too good "Does this look inanimate to you, punk!" 😂
“Doesn’t this look inanimate to you punk”
I can hear Billy Porter’s voice so clearly! He’s gonna be perfect!
Hope Audrey II looks as good in the remake as in this
#NoCGI
I watched this movie yesterday for the first time and I'm obsessed with this song
“Trust me and your life will shortly rival king tut’s!”
He wasn’t wrong.
The great Levi Stubbs was inspired casting in a great movie musical. Feed me indeed! 😋
When you've watched this movie so many times, that you know this scene word by word 🤣
Who’s willing to bet with me the remake won’t be as good
Prolly not unless they consider doing like the original but probably not but...if it's Disney THATS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY
I think the remake will be good as long as they use Puppetry for Audrey two instead of CGI
The Parrish Show it’s gonna be cg I’m almost positive
compherut
Considering how overused CGI is it’s almost guaranteed
compherut
My question is if they’re going to have the good ending or the bad ending
for 1986 the puppet on that thing is amazing
Tuey is one of the best villains from beyond this Earth. This is simply some fantastic animation, making em look like it's really there. Its motives are pretty simple, but the way of going about world takeover is surprisingly clever. And I dunno, maybe I'd be tempted to kill for it if it could sing that well!
It’s a puppet
i cant even watch clips of this movie without just becoming wholly interested in watching the movie. one of the only musicals i can stand, and also somehow one of my favorite flicks of all time (especially with the alternative ending which is fucking amazing if you havent seen it)
I love the "tooling around like I was James Dean" line so much
My group in music class at school
We have a singing assessment and where singing this....!!!
God save me
How did it go?
That sounds great
We're
Audrey 2: **Mood**
Seymour: **Palms Are Sweaty, Knees Weak, Arms Are Heavy**
I Had A Rough And Painful Reaction To Chinese Takeout Today, If The Person Who Liked My Comment Were To See This Reply I'd Like To Say Thank You For Bringing A Little Joy Back To My Morning.
@@LEGO2055 2 months late but, hope you felt better :). At least you weren't eaten by a hungry plant haha!
@@yourownmother9604 don’t be so sure about that 🍴
3:31 love how he says Audrey
Sounds like a dolphin
for an extraterrestrial plant, his negotiation and persuasion skills are top notch. Despite most of it being mental manipulation.
😆 🤣 😂
The practical affects in this movie look fantastic the plant 🌿 talks so realistic
I need to watch this movie cuz my high school is doing a production of this and my friends brother is playing Audrey II
Kektara you're so lucky; this is my most favorite musical ever!
Funny how Audrey II was weak and dying for being hungry but he had the energy to make about a 4 minute song is crazy
Blows my mind that this plant is a animatronic/puppet and not CGI.
This puppet is the most impressive thing ever. There where times when I thought it was a cgi remaster, like with the original star wars movies, but no, it was just that good of a puppet
Something about a plant, grabbing seymour and showing him at the window just makes drop to the floor laughing 😂 seriously I can't breath 😂😂😂
“Does this look inanimate to you punk!?” Lmao love it
Not gonna lie, that plant scared me when I was young.
moxie girl but it's so cute
He looks like a piranha plant
I knew someone would have childhood trauma of this movie I watched It's pretty good
the delivery of "twoey, that's disgusting" is great
Levi Stubbs did a good job on the plant's voice
God rest there souls.
Levi Stubbs is brill , but he does not get enough credit. SHAME RIP LEVI STUBBS
Audrey II's laugh at 3:18 is hilarious!
The lead puppeteer for this song is Brian Henson (son of legendary puppeteer Jim Henson). He currently serves as chairman for the Jim Henson Company.
When movies had original content and great acting... now it's just slow motion and cgi... an icon of movies. Salute.
Can you imagine watching this in the movie theater? Haha I love the 80s.
just the amount of skill that went in moving that thing ...
Crafting 100%
I was growing up when this came out and it was one of my favorites because it’s about the truth of all the different ways people Manipulate and hurt other people in order to get their way. Funny, how true this story is today in 2022
I cant stop listening to that banger
