One of the trippiest scenes I remember as a kid was the hefalumps and woozles scene from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977). It was just a tiny acid trip that seemed so out of place in a Winnie the Pooh cartoon of all places. In fact Disney did it so much in those 70-80s movies that I credit them with my love of psychedelics.
One of my favorite animated scenes is from "The Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure" The scene in question is called "The Greedy" and it involves Raggedy Ann and her friends listening to a candy creature explain how he feels lonely and needs a sweetheart to make him feel better. The animation in this scene is jaw dropping. It was done by former Max Fleicher animators. It's so fluid, not a single still frame, and immaculately detailed. One of the greatest animated scenes I have ever seen along side "Pink Floyd's - The Trial" as was present here. Give it a look, you will be amazed.
I'm surprised you didn't mention any Don Bluth productions, particular "The Secret of Nimh". So many amazing sequences in that movie but for me it's either the great owl scene or when she lifts the cinder block from the mud. So awesome.
For me the coolest scene that stuck out in Transformers was Unicron transforming. You practically expected Unicron to be able to transform but when Galvatron provokes him. You watch his despair as this planet eater shifts and changes into the Metallic Devil. Showing just how truly small and insignificant the series' villain to a being capable of tearing apart Cybertron itself.
Man, the trippiest thing in the world is when they explore the inside of Unicron and they find the other Autobots who are about to be dropped into the molten metal and manage to save them. The movie is still just friggin insane
Just to let you know James, that silhouetted figure in A Grinch Night is believed by many die hard Seuss fans to be a cameo from one of his books. The book in question being Oh The Thinks You Can Think. It's about all the cool stuff you can conjure up with your imagination. There's a brief part where the book talks about various weird questions you can ask yourself, and one of those questions is "What would you do if you met a Jiboo?" The Jiboo is the a very similar looking shadowed bird creature, who two is looking at a kid like Ukaria on a similar looking street. A lot of readers were notably scared of that part, but he appeared to be friendly, as he was waving to the kid in the book. Some people believe that the creature in the special was him, except now, he's actually menacing, in a pose that looks like he's going to attack Ukaria. Maybe it's Seuss acknowledging how much that scene in the book scared people. In fact, I bet dollars to donuts (and a duckdog too) that a lot of the creatures in the Paraphernalia Wagon were from Ted's books and paintings. Maybe Seuss saw this as an opportunity to put all of his favorite scary drawings in one place!
The street and character are basically identical except for the pose. Of course it was very convenient to use the various sceneries Seuss had already created as inspiration for their nightmare gallery. It's a very striking idea.
The chase seen in Richard Williams' the Thief and The Cobbler is an honorable mention. There were so many amazing scenes in that movie. It's so sad it was never finished the way he wanted it to be.
The Re-Cobbled Cut is the best we'll ever get. It's the closest to the original vision that exists, and includes the sketches of many unfinished scenes so we don't miss out on what was finished.
@@noneofyourbeeswax1949 That athletic scene with the professional horse ball players where the perspective of the ground keeps shifting around the thief is mind blowing. It's so ridiculously smooth.
Janet Waldo actually recorded all her lines as Judy Jetson for the movie. Tiffany was originally just going to do the singing, but some studio executive insisted that she do all of the dialog, too. Gilbert Gottfried said (so take it with a grain of salt) on his podcast that the guy that played George Jetson actually died in the recording booth for the Jetsons movie.
The animated scenes from "Better Off Dead" are some of my favorites. There's even a claymation hamburger dancing to Van Halen's "Everybody wants some".
Wizards (1977) is a beautiful film, especially whenever Necron 99 is on screen just to stare out into the vista. The sunset scene near the beginning of the film is marvelous.
One of the craziest animated movies I've ever seen is Fantastic Planet. Every part of that film felt like a drug trip. It's like if Salvador Dalí and Dr. Seuss decided to make a sci-fi movie.
Oh man, yes, that's one of the films I always point to when I talk to people about avant garde animation! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! The weirder the animation, the better, for me! They don't really make any adult animated films like they did in the 60's, 70's, and 80's!
The Amazing World of Gumball as an entire series is rather incredible seeing as nearly every character outside of the main family is in a completely different art style from one another. Different animation styles, 2D mixed with 3D, etc.
That scene from "Adventures of Mark Twain" still haunts me to this day. I'm sure you know the one. Twilight Zone the Movie has another notable example.
what's even more crazier are scenes where they made it where it touches your soul. Like the scene in Fox and the Hound where the Old Woman had to get rid of her Fox or in Bambi where Bambi mom get shot. Animators go all out to get that perfect scene.
For me, one that has always stuck with me is from the cartoon Real Ghostbusters and the friggin’ Boogieman stepping through a closet door, with that improbably big head followed by the goat/faun like lower body. It’s just stuck with me over the years.
Not as crazy as these scenes and a little bit later in terms of era, but the extremely goofy movie had a scene where goofy is taking a test, falls asleep and has this jarring happy/depressing dream sequence. Tripped me out as a kid.
Yes! There was a Lupin arcade game done in the Dragon's Lair style that I played at a casino in Reno while my parents were gambling that opens with the car chase. I easily dumped $20 in that game.
One thing that always stuck out to me, was raggedy Ann and Andy's musical adventure. That whole movie is trippy, but the tripiest one is probably the scene where they meet this monster called the greedy.
Grinch Night was always one of my favorite holiday cartoons, and one of my favorite cartoons IN GENERAL, just because of that psychadelic nightmare sequence! XD I wish there was more animation done in that very specific style!
I could fill a list like this with all of Fantasia. That movie really opened up the idea of how music can make a story and how fitting songs can be in movies which led the way for AMVs The Toccada and feud in D minor segment especially
The one that sticks with me is the bombing scene in Barefoot Gen. You have all these people melting with their eyeballs flying out and all kinds of crazy gore.
Another scene that comes to mind is from the obscure animated film Felidae. The nightmare sequence with the puppeteer and the piles of dead cats, it's absolutely nightmarish but the animation is just incredible.
To me, one of the best animated sequences I've seen was the "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" sequence in 1968's Yellow Submarine. It's very well animated and pretty much screams "pop art" with its Warholian approach.
5 animated scenes that stand out to me: 1. Final battle scene in The Thief and The Cobbler 2. Intro to GI Joe: The Movie 3. Dumbo's Pink Elephants on Parade 4. Encounter with Mr. Greed in Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure 5. Monstro chase in Pinocchio
One of my favorites is from the Animatrix, where it's depicting a war between the humans and machines. Specifically the part where the robot tears a soldier out of his mech suit. It was pretty wild!
I know James and Doug are friends, And James would never say a unkind word about Doug, but I would still be very interested to hear James’ thoughts about Doug’s “review” of The Wall.
Winnie the Pooh's Hephalumps and Woozles scene stood out to me as a kid. I'm not even certain if it was from a movie or from '90s revival show. Either way, it was trippy.
My partner is an animator. It was really fun to pick her up from class when she was in school because I'd join conversations about the most memorable animation cycles. There's a very famous one of pluto from the 30s where his skin is impeccably animated with secondary motion. It's incredible and lives in my memory forever.
I am kicking myself so hard right now for not even thinking of that one. What makes that scene even more insane is that upbeat, happy sounding song, that's about loss and suffering. Between the music and the visuals it make you feel like you've lost your mind.
Dude! I could have swore I was having a Mandela Effect moment because I always remembered the Grinch putting a Who through some kind of horror fun house and I couldn’t separate the Christmas movie and this one in my head! Thanks for helping me remember! As always!
Loved this and all I could think as you went through the list was The Wall being the best animated scenes. Saw this when I was younger and decades later still sticks with me.
I remember as a kid when my dad showed me his favorite movie- Forbidden Planet. The animated scene where they show the invisible monster is very memorable. I believe Disney did the animation for it, and you can tell, but it's different enough from what they usually do, and in such an unexpected place, that it stands out.
The "Everybody Wants Some" claymation scene from "Better Off Dead" always stuck out to me as a kid. Also, the entire anime movies of "Paprika"(especially the Parade scene) and "Metropolis" are fantastic looking throughout.
Mine is from Project A-Ko, the fight scene between A-Ko and B-Ko toward the end of the movie. It starts as a schoolyard brawl and then a war breaks out around them. It just keeps escalating and getting more absurd.
James, I can't tell you enough how much I genuinely love hearing you talk about things that are important to you. It's like I'm having a conversation with a close friend. Keep up the great work♥️💯😃
Honestly I don't know how many crazy and awesome animations I've seen, but one that is in my memory now is the part from "Le roi et L'Oiseau" (The King and the Bird?), where the King takes an elevator to his 'private chambers'. Just how much you see through this journey, the sounds, places and colours is so wonderful
I had completely forgotten about the grinch Halloween bit! I was trying to remember this a few weeks back.. insane! I was 8 years old and remember watching this on TV while my family was getting ready for trick or treating.
I’m so happy with this new content you’ve been making. This, vhs memories, and a couple other videos all seem like a real passion for you, and it shows.
Truly a reminder of why we NEVER should use a nuclear bomb ever again I don't think people really realized the full destruction and effects until after the bombs were dropped
The Beatles Yellow Submarine is just continuous scene after scene. Maybe the one that sticks out the most is Fred's initial search for the Beatles. The stereo panning is crafted so well and really gives a sense of space.
Love this! One of my favorites would be the opening animation sequence for the Grateful Dead Movie, it’s just a classic piece of psychedelic animation that I’d recommend to anyone who’s a fan of the genre or animation in general.
The Jinx and Ekko fight from Arcane is one of the best animated scenes in recent memory. The way it conveys that these two characters have a friendly history together and they're fighting now interlaced with each other without any dialogue said. It's brilliant!
I'm glad you got that Chris Pryniski fact right, since many think it was Rob Zombie. For those that don't know Chris started Titmouse Studios (Big Mouth, Venture Brothers, Metalacaypse and MEGAS XLR )
You talking and showing bits of The Wall makes me want to actually listen to Pink Floyd's entire discography and then watch the movie. To get the full experience ofc
Ninja Scroll is my favourite. The Benisato part where her snake tattoos are slithering off her body. Or the blind swordsman Utsutsu fight in the bamboo forest. There are so many great scenes in that movie!
Most of the hallucinogenic episodes do look like mushroom trips or LSD trips. I feel like the animators wanted to transfer that wonderful feeling that cannot be described in words.
Liquid Television. I used to have so many animated clips from so many sources edited together on VCR. I could still have it in storage somewhere hahaha.
As a kid I always loved the Heffelumps and Woozles scene from the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Was pretty trippy and the discordant music added to the creepiness.
one of the best animated moments ive seen is pretty much every single shot or animated scene in the Thief and the Cobbler (sadly the movie was never finished tho)
11:42 is called the "Jibboo." I felt the same way about it as a kid. Comes from "Oh the Thinks You Can Think!" Except, in the book he's not in the gunslinger pose. Instead, he's just standing there and waving menacingly.
Big shout out to The Wall, that's still as weird and freaky as it always was. The Animation is so symbolic and essential to the storytelling that without them it wouldn't have the same feel or lasting effect that stays with you long after watching it.
One piece of animation I always remember is from "Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor". Near the start, Popeye's ship gets attacked by a giant bird and the animation of the ship keeling over is really nice and smooth.
I'll be surprised if anyone remembers or appreciates this but the animated scene in Xanadu is one of my favourites. It's very lovey dovey sure, but if you're a Don Bluth fan you might understand why I love it.

I love these examinations into niche subjects from James, they're so entertaining and cozy
Same here, I always find myself coming back to these videos. Always an interesting watch, I could listen to him talk for hours.
They really are aren't they? 😀 watched this before starting my work day and got me into just the right relaxed mood!
I absolutely love when James just gets in front of a camera, and just talks about movies he likes.
I think you just love James...I love him too very talented person
only part of cinemassacre i watch now lol

ty for letting me know, will see if I can find a clip of that
Homer Simpson's hallucination sequence in "The Mysterious Journey of Homer" has always been one of my favorites.
"I hope I didn't brain my damage!"
That one and Homer³ were absolute trips!
Barney's burp was especially memorable. Weirdly I've seen the burp cut on TV and they just skip right to Homer running away.
The intro to Watership Down was also beautifully and charmingly animated.
The Pink Elephants on Parade scene from Dumbo to this day is one of the most insane and awe-inspiring animated scenes in any movie.
I Couldn’t Agree More! It Gave Me Nightmares!

For me it's "All Dogs Go To Heaven" when Satan is calling for Charlie at the end.
as a kid born in 1980, that movie was really special to me. still watch it to this day with my own children.
Check out a Funhaus video on Don Bluth. It's so true and funny. Basically breaks down how all Bluth's movies are to traumatize children lol.
For me the coolest scene that stuck out in Transformers was Unicron transforming.

Redline, the entire movie. It took 9 years to be made and the animation level is a testament to that.

For me, one that has always stuck with me is from the cartoon Real Ghostbusters and the friggin’ Boogieman stepping through a closet door, with that improbably big head followed by the goat/faun like lower body.
It’s just stuck with me over the years.
Yes! I remember that. And that big creepy smile to go with it
Probably the best episode.
Not as crazy as these scenes and a little bit later in terms of era, but the extremely goofy movie had a scene where goofy is taking a test, falls asleep and has this jarring happy/depressing dream sequence. Tripped me out as a kid.
The thief and the cobbler is the best example of animation as art you can watch
Also, Redline. The entire movie's animation is ridiculously smooth.
The Ninja Scroll movie blew my mind at a young age and still holds up very well.
The blood raining down in the forest still hits hard.
Ninja scroll was my jam at school dude, that and Guyver.
@@boxingislife471 same. Hardly anyone knew of Guyver but I loved it.
Yes yes and yes. Ninja scroll. The golden age of anime
The scene when Jubei fights the blind swordsman...
Peak Japanimation right there.
@@boxingislife471 like when the demon held her upside down and licked?
Yes, that was burned into my mind at a young age.
Lupin the Third: Castle of Cagliostro was brilliant and even Steven Spielberg said the car chase was one of the best animated scenes ever made
miyazaki before he was well known :P
Which scene? Or did you mean movie?
@@TheMusicMan1012 fixed
The car chase scene is utterly legendary.
Yes! There was a Lupin arcade game done in the Dragon's Lair style that I played at a casino in Reno while my parents were gambling that opens with the car chase. I easily dumped $20 in that game.
One thing that always stuck out to me, was raggedy Ann and Andy's musical adventure. That whole movie is trippy, but the tripiest one is probably the scene where they meet this monster called the greedy.
I’ve rewatched this recently and I have to agree.
I saw half of that when I was younger.
think my mom made us turn it off
calling it demonic.😂

I could fill a list like this with all of Fantasia. That movie really opened up the idea of how music can make a story and how fitting songs can be in movies which led the way for AMVs
The Toccada and feud in D minor segment especially
Never would have expected the Jetsons movie in any great animated anything, as much as I loved it.
The one that sticks with me is the bombing scene in Barefoot Gen. You have all these people melting with their eyeballs flying out and all kinds of crazy gore.
remember when MTV had them
crazy animated bumpers back in
the day?
you could still view em on UA-cam.
watch if you dare.
That one guy that was only halfway behind a wall still sticks with me, and I only watched that film once, probably 25 years ago now

The animation in The Wall is so amazing! Especially the "Goodbye blue sky" scene.
5 animated scenes that stand out to me:
1. Final battle scene in The Thief and The Cobbler
2. Intro to GI Joe: The Movie
3. Dumbo's Pink Elephants on Parade
4. Encounter with Mr. Greed in Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure
5. Monstro chase in Pinocchio

crazy.
It's got some real hallucinogenic scenes in it. Fantastic movie.
That entire segment is just completely insane but that part takes the cake.

The crystal cave scene in Pooh's Grand Adventure fascinated me as a kid. I thought Pooh would never escape!
A Flight of Dragons, Watership Down, the last unicorn were part of what I grew up with in the 80s.
My partner is an animator. It was really fun to pick her up from class when she was in school because I'd join conversations about the most memorable animation cycles.
There's a very famous one of pluto from the 30s where his skin is impeccably animated with secondary motion. It's incredible and lives in my memory forever.
Third impact from The End of Evangelion.
James you'd love Evangelion, giant monsters, big robots, its kickass and deep.
I am kicking myself so hard right now for not even thinking of that one. What makes that scene even more insane is that upbeat, happy sounding song, that's about loss and suffering. Between the music and the visuals it make you feel like you've lost your mind.
I dare anyone to find me an apocalypse scene that looks more beautiful. And the song they play throughout--Komm Susser Tod--is also amazing.
I'm right behind you with the animation on Pink Floyd's THE WALL movie. It was so dark and twisted.
Dude! I could have swore I was having a Mandela Effect moment because I always remembered the Grinch putting a Who through some kind of horror fun house and I couldn’t separate the Christmas movie and this one in my head! Thanks for helping me remember! As always!
I loved Hetal Metal. My favorite was the WW2 bomber segment even though it kind of scared me as a kid.
@TwinTurbo Ray he meant Meavy Hemtal.
That's my favorite scene in H.M.
Loved this and all I could think as you went through the list was The Wall being the best animated scenes. Saw this when I was younger and decades later still sticks with me.
doug walker didn't show squat
when talking about the wall.
he just showed it from imagery
and sketches.
what a rip.

I believe Disney did the animation for it, and you can tell, but it's different enough from what they usually do, and in such an unexpected place, that it stands out.

James, I can't tell you enough how much I genuinely love hearing you talk about things that are important to you. It's like I'm having a conversation with a close friend. Keep up the great work♥️💯😃
I see no one talking about 'The last unicorn'. That movie scared me. And Roger Rabbit of course. The animation is still brilliant.
That movie scared me but also made me fall in love with a tree.
I love those hand-drawn animations back then.
Honestly I don't know how many crazy and awesome animations I've seen, but one that is in my memory now is the part from "Le roi et L'Oiseau" (The King and the Bird?), where the King takes an elevator to his 'private chambers'. Just how much you see through this journey, the sounds, places and colours is so wonderful
Brave Little Toaster has a few weird ones, such as the clown or the dying cars at the junkyard.
James is a part of my childhood, just like these cartoons
I had completely forgotten about the grinch Halloween bit! I was trying to remember this a few weeks back.. insane! I was 8 years old and remember watching this on TV while my family was getting ready for trick or treating.
The Fleischer shorts of the early 30s are a MUST for weird and outlandish animation.
I’m so happy with this new content you’ve been making. This, vhs memories, and a couple other videos all seem like a real passion for you, and it shows.
"BEHOLD! GALVATRON! AND THESE ARE YOUR HENCHMEN...."
The "devil" from fantasia is named chernobog. A character from slavic mythology.
For some reason the opening of Count Duckula always scared me as a child, probably I was like 3 or 4 years when it still was aired on early 90's.
I don't have a single scene, but the whole movie "Paprika" felt like a fever dream
Also I'm glad he's talking about animated scenes in movies. This should have been done years ago imo since he was originally a film maker as a kid
As a Soviet child of the 80's I'll never forget nuclear bomb explosion from "Barefoot Gen"
That was the nightmare of my childhood.
Truly a reminder of why we NEVER should use a nuclear bomb ever again
I don't think people really realized the full destruction and effects until after the bombs were dropped

Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings. The scene when Frodo is being chased by the ring wraiths near Lothlorian.
seeing Princess Rhyme and Reason imprisoned in their rainbow castle and the conductor composing colours is superb from Chuck Jones's Phantom Tollbooth
Favorite? The absolute mad-lad animation found in a lot of 1980's OVA's. Stuff like Patlabor, Ninja Scroll, M.D Geist, ect
The music video for Weird Al's "Jurassic Park", in particular the orchestral interlude.
Oh wow I never see anyone talk about Grinch Night. Such an amazing and beautiful Halloween movie
Liquid Television. I used to have so many animated clips from so many sources edited together on VCR. I could still have it in storage somewhere hahaha.
As a kid I always loved the Heffelumps and Woozles scene from the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Was pretty trippy and the discordant music added to the creepiness.
Nathan Explosion's death dream sequence after drinking bleach was pretty trippy. And Gumby had some epic claymation
I was wondering if The Wall would be on the list. I remember just watching the scene for The Trial and being a little freaked out by the end of it.
My most memorable experience from animation is in "The Last Unicorn" when the unicorns emerge from the waves of the sea.
The Greedy scene from Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure is pretty amazing. The thing is constantly changing and blending and eating itself.
This is the content I'm subbed for. Thank you James.
one of the best animated moments ive seen is pretty much every single shot or animated scene in the Thief and the Cobbler (sadly the movie was never finished tho)
The grinch Halloween scene unlocked memories I forgot I had.
Dumbo and the Ferngully's smoke monster made me and everyone else have nightmares for years lol. Gotta love a scary or strange animated movies!
11:42 is called the "Jibboo." I felt the same way about it as a kid. Comes from "Oh the Thinks You Can Think!" Except, in the book he's not in the gunslinger pose. Instead, he's just standing there and waving menacingly.
Big shout out to The Wall, that's still as weird and freaky as it always was.
The Animation is so symbolic and essential to the storytelling that without them it wouldn't have the same feel or lasting effect that stays with you long after watching it.
The two that stuck with me are The meditation scene in Fantastic Planet (1973) and the "Nightmare" segment from Robot Carnival (1987)
Love those movies
One piece of animation I always remember is from "Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor". Near the start, Popeye's ship gets attacked by a giant bird and the animation of the ship keeling over is really nice and smooth.
I'll be surprised if anyone remembers or appreciates this but the animated scene in Xanadu is one of my favourites.
It's very lovey dovey sure, but if you're a Don Bluth fan you might understand why I love it.
Man most of these are so visually incredible but BTAS, the Akrham City games and Batman Beyond look hella impressive and nostalgic.
I'll always remember the heffalumps and woozles scene from 'Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day'.
AVGN talked about Pink Floyd’s The Wall way better than a certain Critic.
Edit: I remembered it, so 500+ people didn’t have to.
Well of course he did. Doug is guaranteed to be the lesser being in any contexts
You can tell when a critic actually knows the movie they're talking about.
WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE VEGAS?!
ohohooh :P
James remembered it better so you don't have to.
Spirited away and the animatrix are a couple really well animated moments that come to mind
The entirety of Yellow Submarine is like being on an acid trip.
Ren and Stimpy is just nonstop insanity like the creators were actually sick in the head.
They probably are.
I don't know about favorite, but the AC freak-out scene from the Brave Little Toaster has always stuck with me.
