I feel really bad for Noah Centineo, his father basically used him as a pawn in a money-laundering scheme while he was still a literal child. That's straight-up evil.
The only reason to not feel bad for Noah would be if he knew about the scam and was in on it himself. November 6, 2019, 1:45am
@@adampkalb And i believe that he was.
Talk about child exploitation.
He literally used his Son as a money laundering scheme lol
That's hardcore
That’s not just regular stage dad antics, that is borderline evil if only because he didn’t abuse the kid...that we know of
poor kid
@@spookyrosev6467 I kinda noticed in interviews Noah always talks way more about his mom supporting him and standing by him or in general more about him mom than his dad... Also his dad's insta has a few photos of him (abiet only lately) but I've rarely seen Noah post about his dad until today and even then it was just a link to his Dad's insta

This scam seems perfect for Saberspark and Bobsheaux to talk about the movie.
Maybe as a collab.
That would be nice, does Bobshuex still do reviews?
He does he just does other things on the side now like his storytime live-streams which are amazing

*golf claps* That was too perfect a string of words, dude. Noice! :D
That was a lot of words….and c
Honestly this whole Legends of Oz scam is the prime example of the phrase: BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE
A movie about making this movie would be so much more interesting that Legends of Oz.
Actually, I did get word that a company called Taking Back Justice Television ( www.takingbackjustice.com/ ) is in early development of producing a reality series about the investors trying to get their money back and put the Legends of Oz scammer in prison for good. From what they told me, the team making it got thousands of hours of TV and over 30 movies under their belt, so they got the experience to make something interesting out of this.
You mean like The Producers, but instead of Springtime for Hitler, they make a shit kid's film?
Like "The Disaster Artist"?
Ironically enough I’d pay more money to see THAT than I would be willing to to watch the movie they actually made.
@@ElectricDragon505 Interesting history.
Oh my god I was jokingly thinking to myself “Greg centineo? Like Noah centineo?” I didn’t think that was actually true
Video about Legend of Oz got more sequel than the movie
*rimshot*
ROASTED
Well, here's a sequel I didn't expect. This should be some juicy info.
I'm much less surprised to see it than I would one of the promised sequels to Legends of Oz
@@lunaitc Yep, that's true.
I said that a couple of months ago when I saw that norm of the north has a third movie.
Jesus Christ, I thought that Noah Centineo showing up everywhere was weird and this kinda explains it!
He's now Atom Smasher for Black Adam
True Story: In México there were a good amount of promotional posters, even they managed to get line of toys for the movie tie in to Carl's JR kids meals (including cups) .
After the movie release and went in less than 2 weeks, In my local city, every Carls JR chain was giving in every kids meal 2 toys, one of the brand they were promoting that month, and another from Legend of Oz, they kept doing that for 2 entire months even after the movie was nowhere to be seen. Meaning it took them at least 3 months to get rid of those Oz kids meal toys.
Jorge Vila a I love Mexican weirdness
"From Christ, to coffee, to cartoons."
Sounds like a great movie title.
Or an attention-grabbing tagline.
Could be an interesting biopic...
I'd watch it
@@platinumblaze3663 Ditto
If it were "From cartoons, to coffee, to Christ" it would be a Pureflix film waiting to happen
Despite them not being a listers, I can't believe they roped in the likes of Lea Michele, Dan Aykroyd, Jim Belushi, Kelsey Grammer, Megan Hilty, Martin Short, Bernadette Peters, Patrick Stewart, and cameos by voice actors Debi Derryberry, Richard Steven Horvitz, and Tom Kenny into this mess.
Don't forget Scott Menville
@@bbpele2848 And Hugh Dancy.
@@DrGregoryHouseIT Even Oliver Platt.
Richard Steven Horvitz was apart of this? He’s the voice actor of Moxxie from “Helluva Boss”, as well as Invader Zim. I feel so bad for him.
It’s very reminiscent of Arthur and the Invisibles. Huge cast, terrible animation and script.
Man I wish my parents believed in my dreams enough to scam thousands of people
MoonBunny24 LMAO
I can't believe I could find anyone who could say that with a straight face, but now I've got you! Noah is one lucky kid if he doesn't have to be held responsible for any part of the scam. But if Noah was part of the help and goes to jail with his father, then he is not just the victim being used here. December 2, 2019, 11:37am
Adam Kalb
Dude. It’s a joke.
If only! Hey I'd have taken just a bit of that love! 😂
You gotta feel sorry for the writers, animators and voice actors who put actual effort into this money laundromat only to have it appear as a big blemish on their resume
They were probably paid miserably
Was The Powerpuff Girls a big blemish on Amanda Leighton's resume when she got into Amphibia? December 27, 2020, 1:35am
Poor Leah Michele
Yeah I feel sorry for all of the artists and writers and people who put effort into this mess
@@Evanedits191 eh most of the VAs have careers prominent enough that this movie wouldnt have done much to their careers anyways. only if they were named as accomplices
Poor Noah. He’s gonna have this hanging over his head and career for the rest of his life. He doesn’t deserve to suffer the consequences for what his scumbag father did.
Considering he's in Black Adam I think he'll be just fine.
Khfan4life
Yeah That True
Noah Deserve better than this He Deserve to born with a Father where the father Is Good and Not only to get money from the Noah To be acting role and other but The Father will be good and Noah Become famous instead of money Hunger from the Father
Yeah I wish He Was born with a different Father he life will be amazing without this thing to deal with it
Man I hope Noah will Deserve something better than this in the future maybe
Sad part is, I think a movie about this scam would be far more interesting than most of the movies Noah Centineo has been in...
Charlie's Angels was pretty good.
no the sad part is, this guy was trying to get his son a foothold career, and his first big project was an ANIMATED FILM...at no point did he stop, and say HEY WAIT A MINUTE SON WANNA BE IN THIS FILM? IT COULD BE GREAT PUBLICITY FOR YOU
🎶We’re off to see the judge, the wonderful judge of the USA🎶

Hold the phone there is more to this crazy story!?!
Yes, yes there is.
This is crazy
Yes. Scams like this have more than enough dirt to dig into.
A scam a day I say!
Legends of Scam
So that explains why Noah is all over Netflix 🤔
In really garbage movies! Haha.
And now a crappy Charlie's Angel reboot I wouldn't hire someone who has such a toxic origin to his career
@@pyroshayniac1090 hey! Also, yeah, but hey!
It’s funny I remember watching that Disney sitcom he was in and looking back he was the worst actor on the show
@@nikguimont8546 he acts like himself more than the character...if that makes sense?
Wizard of Oz: Exists
Grifters: It's free real-estate
Well the books are public domain, so its not wrong
As I heard the name Centineo I immediately wondered 'like Noah Centineo?' And lo and behold...
I knew the name Centineo sounded familiar.
It's not everyday you find someone with the last name as centipede
So the next He-Man is being played by someone who's a son of a con artist who only has a career because of nepotism, man the Dolph Lundgren version is looking good right now. So people should be wary about someone wanting to invest in a CG Oz movie.
This is making the original 1980's shitty Filmation Cartoon and the crappy Dolph Lundgren version looking good right now.
@@papachillothezappey4050
What’s worse is that it might get even cheaper over time and add woke elements as well.
Not anymore. Kyle Allen is instead playing the role of He-Man. Noah’s too busy being in the upcoming DC movie “Black Adam” with Dwayne Johnson.
The documentary for this whole story should literally be called "Christ, Coffee and Cartoons".
Or
"Scamming Of Oz"
I was thinking about how scam artists always have a scapegoat in mind. look at Elizabeth Holmes and how she blamed the rival lab companies, the Wall Street journal, sexism just to not see that she hurt and stole from people, ruining their lives.
I like Animat's informative videos. It's pretty damn interesting to see what happened behind the scenes of animated movies. Especially those that flopped hard and those with loads of scandals.
This is a better sequel than the sequel we were almost gonna get.
This sounds EXACTLY like The Producers! In fact, I would go as far as to say they likely wanted their movie to bomb in the first place, because if it had been successful, they would have had to pay their investors with the movie's profits, just like in The Producers and it would have been harder to take the money and run.
A movie about the making of Legends of Oz would be a trillion times better than the actual movie Legends of Oz.
All of that is INSANE! This video deserves so much more attention, specially considering how noah always seems to creep into media these days
Seeing the budget for Sausage Party, especially compared to others, I suddenly see why they thought they could get away with little to no pay for their animators.
They should make a documentary movie about this scam. The Wolf of Oz!
stay tuned.......................
did noah know about the scam or is he just a pawn? cuz if its the former that would change SO MUCH. if the latter, then... i wouldn't be surprised he is kinda weird
It's reminding me of what happened with Felicity Huffman and Lori Laughlin
I can't say that I'm 100% certain on the answer, but the closest thing I can find is that on Greg Centineo's Instagram, there is proof that Noah has attended some premieres for Legends of Oz, including at Cannes. He is aware of the movie that his dad was involved with and the other people like the Carroll brothers, especially when they made his acting debut, The Gold Retrievers. My guess is that he either knows very well that his career was built from this scam or his dad had manipulated and constantly lied to him all his life to make him a star.
@@ElectricDragon505 i guess only time will tell
I have a feeling its the latter that’s usually always the case
I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt say he probably didn’t really know. Like his dad got him roles but did he really have any idea how he got them or that he got them in dubious ways? I mean some of these roles he was a kid right? I wouldn’t expect a kid to understand what’s going on if they were successfully conning adults, none the less know what to do if he did.
I couldn't believe that the studio and creators focused on the money and recognizibility of The Wizard of Oz. They should've thought more about the story they wanted to tell whether in Oz or original and either saved up the movie or made a deal with the studio. Keep it up!
Actually give or take a couple of details and the making of a prequel comic, this movie is fairly accurate to the book its based on
The wild thing is that the rest of the Oz books actually have pretty good plots and the Baum estate is still putting them out
Something worth mentioning...they may have failed at creating a franchise, but as films with controversies attached go, dorothys return could turn into a cult film
Can I join?
Ehhhh, not really. It's still stupid kiddie fair really.
@@ExtremeWreck and? there are plenty of childrens films that have become cult classics all things considered. and even if it werent, a lot of films with negative press tend to become cult films.
@@magicamadeye Sure, but outside of the scam, it's stupid kiddie fare. It doesn't do anything to differentiate itself in any positive away, the animation looks poor & plain generic, the plot is soulless, etc.
@@ExtremeWreck it’s a decent adaptation of the book it’s based on, Dorothy of oz by roger s Baum
ohmygod this is so confusing. It's like scammers are trying to hide what some scammers did while scammers are running away while making lawsuits to accuse more scammers because they scammed scammers.
8:43 "Speaking of the money..." AD BREAK!!!
The fact that this movie helped Noah Centineo be a thing is a bigger crime than any of the fraud.
Nah he's pretty talented.
I'd hate to be a Noah Centineo stan right now.

Damn, that Monsters High retelling of Wizard of Oz actually seemed kinda cool.
“How can the animation quality look like it was made to be direct-to-video when it has a budget that’s bigger than most movies made by major animation studios in recent years?”
Foodfight has entered the chat
That film at least had the excuse of it's animation files being stolen in robbery, what's Legend of Oz's excuse?
@@jadedheartsz Actually, even if the footage was stolen, the animation in “Foodfight” would still look cheap.
Before you say “the movie’s old animation is just from 2000s and Threshold Animation could easily improve”, let me say that Threshold also animated “Bobbleheads: The Movie” from 2020, and yet that movie looks like a 2007 movie. You honestly think you can say nice things about Threshold’s old animation for “Foodfight” when their animation for “Bobbleheads: The Movie” got criticized for looking like plastic?
@@spaceboyctstudios2934 Eh I saw Bobbleheads and didn't think it looked THAT bad so I dsiagree.
@@jadedheartsz Why?
@@spaceboyctstudios2934 the humans looked fine.
"The movie sucks"
A real reason why it couldn't find distribution.
Wow. That hardly _ever_ happens! I mean that an animated film's suckiness hardly ever stops it from finding distribution. That was never a problem for Norm of the North! Lionsgate didn't even hate it that much. November 6, 2019, 1:49am
Adam Kalb Maybe that’s a way of them saying that they don’t Like them.
@@theggamer2824 Yes, of course. Every known distributor of American animated films either hated Legends of Oz or hated the Carroll brothers too much to distribute it. It surely did not help that they had a history of shady business practices before this franchise investment scam.
Aw fridge, here we go again.
Christ, Coffee and Cartoons - this sounds like perfect name for a movie about Greg Centineo.
Who needs an episode of American Greed when you already did a great job unmasking the scam of Legend's of Oz: Dorothy's Return, AniMat.
Funny enough, the sham studio Gigapix Studios with their scam revolving an animated Wizard of Oz sequel, actually released no movie. The majority of the money invested all went to their pockets, instead of any form of production, causing the movie to not come into fruition, therefore, it really was a scam like with Legends of Oz. Even more so than with Legends of Oz.
Speaking of American Greed, both Trudeau and Gigapix were featured on that show
@@animefan25 Yup. Saw those episodes a long time ago.
@WestCoastEmeraldBull me too
Make a new video
Considering it’s already been 8 years, the heads of Gigapix should be out of jail and should return into making that modern retelling of “The Wizard Of Oz”.
bro you a GOD for this video. literally NOBODY else on youtube is covering this scam and that centineo kid is blowing up the kids and teens demographic.
this story either needs to be scripted into a movie by a24 directed by the safdie brothers or turned into a hard hitting docuseries for any of the major streaming platforms.
the people need to know these things happen.
Makes sense
@@noahbossier1131 What happened to the Carrol Brothers recently? Did they get sent to jail?

Here’s hoping we get an actually *GOOD* Oz movie soon!
We had one in the 1930s
Got one, the 30's classic.
Agreed.
I think the last successful Oz related project in recent times is Wicked. And that's on Broadway.
ANOTHER one. That isn't a remake.
How did we go from “Somewhere over the rainbow” to hiring a guy who pretended to be a pester
I remember watching the video in late August while at my Grandparents at 3 AM, thinking it would not get any more complicated. Holy shit was I wrong, what a clusterfuck this is...
Clusterfuck of an already huge Clusterfuck
Honestly...I feel horrible for Noah and DAMN!! This is insane!!
Same, like I honestly think hes a pretty decent actor, has potential to get better he's still new, but dear lord all this... I mean he seems weird but not a bad dude, does a lot of charity work, etc. Just...yeah wow...
The wacky samba music at the end of the videos really puts me in a good mood.
I wondered if that was the same Kevin Trudeau when I saw the first video and saw his name. I remember him for his scammy health books.
Yep same guy

Now I wanna rewatch it
A continuation?
This is gonna be good.
Doug Walker and Phantom Strider should look into that as well.
This needs to be a book! Its like the craziest story about a movie's making next to The Disaster Artist; except The Disaster Artist is funnier than this.
That mime bird from the Angry birds movie line "OH MA GA"
I'll be honest, I had never even heard of Noah Centineo until this video. Perhaps that was for the best.
Either way, it's amazing how this whole scam somehow managed to get even more convoluted than it already was before.
I wonder if American Greed is gonna touch this case. 🤔
24:05 That’s actually Willy Wonka talking. And now...
*Insert comparison of money laundering to Wonka’s factory here*.
Poor Noah. He had such a promising career and became an unwitting pawn in his father’s evil scheme. I wonder what happened to him.
he's still in the To All the Boys I Loved franchise and he's in that upcoming Black Adam movie, he'll be fine.
Life imitates art. Except this time there’s no springtime for Hitler :(
Noah Centineo is now playing as Atom Smasher for Black Adam
Well that explains why most of the theaters in my area carried it. Then only on midnight runs.
this really is the biggest scam in animation in history
I know someone who did marking for the movie and they asked him to edit commercials many years before the film was near production.
The Gigapix story is very familiar to me because I remembered seeing this in an episode of American Greed.
The three Cs of the world:
Christ
Coffee
Cartoons
CaptainPuffin I literally saw this comment when Animat said that. (Hey that rhymes!)
The Centineo family moto
Let's make a film " Greg Centineo = From Christ , To Coffe , To Cartoons" .
Wow! If justice truly is served, I'd certainly think that a movie based on making the movie would be possible, and making a happy ending!
Damn! And another company wanted to do the same thing with OZ? LMAO!
Why Oz though? Is it because it's one of the few public domain properties that Disney hasn't adapted yet? (Yeah, I'm aware of Oz the Great and Powerful and Return to Oz, but those were live-action. I meant an animated adaptation of OZ by Disney)
Well its hard to adapt any more of the remaining oz books due to the 39 film, either your too similar so youll get panned, or too different...so youll get panned

“We’re off to see the Scammers! The wonderful scammers of Oz!”
"We hear they are financial wizards who will change our lives because..."
"The part actually WAS tailor-made for him." That's not as bad as casting someone who's obviously a poor fit for the role (I'm looking at you, every film starring a teen idol, manufactured pop singer, sitcom star, or Internet personality instead of someone who would actually be good playing the part).
The thing about Guardians of the Galaxy is, because of the sort of film that it was, the part of Peter Quill was already meant for sitcom stars to begin. Besides Parks and Recreation's Chris Pratt, other sitcom stars who auditioned for the role were Chuck's Zachary Levi, The Office's John Krasinski, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Glenn Howerton.

Adam Kalb Sitcom stars and the like can do well in movies if they have parts that use their talents well. I meant when they're cast solely because they're a big name and aren't good parts for the part. It's great that Guardians did a good job casting actors and writing to their strengths.

February 10, 2020, 7:04pm
The thing is, that makes it feel cheap. Because ultimately someone else was doing the work so he would fit in. He did have to do anything. The cast of Alien is good because the characters were created prior to the actors, and the actors did their best to portray them.
@@re1010 Those are very valid points.

As shady as this scam is I can't help but kinda respect them for being able to get fairly big names like Belushi and Akroyd for their film.
Animat: But Im not done yet!
I never watched this movie as a kid but am somehow enjoying these videos on the scam behind them.
