4K Widescreen Remastering by Coolprinter
This is a true 4k Widescreen Remastering of Brandon C. AMV, Ignorance is Bliss. There is no cropping or upscaling artifacts. This video is made possible through hacking the original Swf, expanding all the backgrounds, and making a lot of necessary adjustments for the new 21:9 aspect ratio. Because the original video is made in a vector program, I was able to set the output video size to 4k in the final export without any compression. This is the highest quality version of this video. I made this because of how theoretically possible and easy it is. Anyone can remaster any old 4:3 Flash cartoon into a 21:9 4k video.

"A look into the mind of scheming Bowser Koopa... Because ignorance is bliss.
During the 90's Nintendo released an album called "White Knuckle Scorin" on it was this song. I animated it, even re-creating the small comic that was included with the cd which is sort of an introduction to this song.
Now would be a good time to mention that I do all my animations with a mouse. Yes I use it as an excuse to do badly because its true."
Also won Daily Feature on its release, and Weekly User's Choice on 05/31/2006.
Thanks for adding some context. I loved this back when I was a kid and now my baby niece loves it too.
the dude used a mouse?! DAMN its good for a fucking mouse!
Its too bad Bug deleted everything and pretty much vanished. Hope hes doing alright
Is your name manny or Brandon Clark?
The description says it’s Brandon but your channels description says it’s manny.
EDIT: never mind, all that is from the
Description and I justgot confused, sorry manny.
@Ice-BearThis is hearsay that I've heard entirely from third parties who knew him online when he was still active, but it sounds like he had a mental break of some sort a few years ago and deleted all of his stuff. I don't know if anyone has heard from him since.
I'll echo the sentiment that I hope he's doing well, wherever he's at.
Suddenly the casting of Jack Black as Bowser makes way more sense.
imagine them covering this song for the movie good lord
@@Ohmman That would put the film up a whole star rating for me tbh. Hell, I'd be stoked if Jack Black covered the song just for the movie's ad campaign.
This being commented a year ago makes me feel old.
@@TheHallow31 rumor has it it's a cut song, the cover is on UA-cam. It's basically what Biggering was to The Lorax. Could be wrong and I was tricked though but...
@@GamerXZ0 i hope they add it to the sequel
Very nostalgic
This was one of your first acting credits wasn't it?
In the intro, the VA for Peach/Toadstool was the VA for 2B from Nier Automata and that's insane. (Minus the fact this classic is in 4k)
Rina-chan completely cornered the market of female character voices on early newgrounds. Probably helped that she was one of the only girls there.
Kira Buckland am I right?
@@DestinyZX1 yup yup 👍
@@CIELMERLIONN she is also Jolyne
Back when she was in her Queen of Newgrounds era
Man, that "Princess Toadstool" hook is catchier than it has any right to be...
It's a shame we never got anymore stuff in this artstyle

This pops into my head once every few years. The internet used to be so simple.
so simple...the term never had any value to me until I was older but man did I love hearing it sing in my head.
Same here!
I had no business being on Newgrounds at 8. But here i stand; Almost 20 years later. Straight VIBING to the nostalgia 🥹
I knew the intro dialogue wasn’t just a fever dream I made up
I was watching other uploads and I had the same thought. Could've swore there was an intro. And here it is. Good to know I wasn't going insane.
Almost slipped my mind that the original flash version had this intro that other possible uploads seem keen on removing from the video itself… but then again, we usually listen to the song itself, not much the whole skit leading to the song.
"If you knew just why you're here, your fear would just be heightened."
You're here to **gasp** RAISE OIL SALES! *AAAAAAAH!*
If this song isn't somehow referenced in the Super Mario Bros. movie, we riot.
Well got an unused demo
It's hard to put into words how incredible it is to see one of my favorite flash animations from my childhood looking so crisp and smooth.
this was PEAK mario Animations of the 2000's
Holy fuck i used to watch this when i was like 7, those goombas are the definition of nostalgia
Thank you for including the entire intro.
doing gods work
With the stinger that they showed at the end of the Mario movie, does that mean Jack Black is gonna sing this in the sequel? I really hope that he does!
The goomba has been stuck in my head for the better part of 20 years. So angelic
used to watch this all the time on newgrounds, much love for this
Remember this is an official song license by Nintendo
wait fr on god
@@DiagonalTanookiit was released as the only original song on a compilation album made to accompany a loose comic book adaptation of super mario world
still a banger to this day
You gotta love how Bowser has only 2 mouth animations 😂
Wake up!
Miss Toadstool, it is I your one and only King, Bowser Koopa
I'm a turtle as you've seen, a little slow and a little green,
But I'm the whole, I'd say, Super Duper
Princess Toadstool, I know you're frightened, mm mm
If you knew just why you're here, your fear would just be heightened
So lets just say,
Ignorance is bliss
Oh, well, I hate to be a bummer, but I've brought you here you bring me plumbers,
You know those brothers, oh, what are their names?
Oh yes, Mario and Luigi, just the sound of them makes me quesy,
I'd love to tak that monkey wrench, I'd play my own game.
Princess Toadstool, you're so misguided,
I've never been fond of bookworms, but then again,
This one does make good Mario bait
I can't wait
Ignorance is bliss!
With my magic book I will shower those Crumbsy Lizards with my power
Until Dinosaur Land is nothing but fossil fuel!
My only problem with these spells is that I know not what they tell
So every hex leaves me perplexed and all I want are those plumbing fools!
Princess Toadstool, you're not so clever,
All your words are alphabet soup,
I'll say it again!
Ignorance is bliss!
Haven't you heard a pictures worth a thousand words?
You call yourself a princess, but you're a brainiac in a dress,
I can't believe you waste time with these books!
You remind me of my kid sister, she read so much she got a blister,
A big one, I mean big, on her brain, what a snook!
I'd like to get my hands on...
Just one time with a monkey wrench...
I'd fix their plumbing...
Princess Toadstool, I know you're freightened, (You're so misguided)
If you knew just why you're here, your fear would just be heightened
Princess Toadstool, you're not so clever, (A picture says it better)
All your words are alphabet soup,
A picture tells it better
For the last time...
On second thought, I think I've made my point...
This song walked so “Peaches” could run. (I still love this song though)
3:21 FOR THE LAST TIME!
Ignorance is
Ignorance is
Ignorance is
IG-NOR-ANCE IS
On second thought I think I've made my point
This is really good! Beautifully asymptotically close raster implementation of a vector animation. Sad how youtube doesn't allow flash files...
Kinda off topic, but do you know how Brandon is doing nowadays? I've heard that he was having a lot of issues for a while and wonder if he's okay. Idk if you actually talked to him at all when making this, but I thought it was worth asking.
I checked put the video with a few million views. He's not ok... mental health seems to have taken a downturn.
Fingers crossed for this song to be remixed when "The Super Mario Bros. Movie - Part 2" lands in theaters, April 3rd 2026.
How’d you get the audio to with this time
LMAO
Seeing this in widescreen feels very wrong but im all for it
honestly I always come back to this song as a reminder when I found it while working at a radio station haha
"You remind me of my kid sister. She read so much, she got a blister." It took me 17 years to realize this line is a reference to Wart.
Elaborate pls
I have such fond memories of this video, thank you so much for your effort here.
Do anyone know the jazz waltz name that plays at the intro and ending? Love this song, brings me so many memories!
It's part of the song. I also thought they were a different song but it was composed like that.
This is my childhood, happy to watch it again
Now they DO sound like Anya-Taylor Joy and Jack Black having a musical ballad
Now I have a new song stuck in my head :D
Try this
ua-cam.com/video/WPVNvJoljD0/v-deo.html
Me to and I like the animation
It's a cool song, I used to jam to this back in the day when I was just 11 and boy was the internet a more fun place back in those days
@@CoolPrinter24 oh god this is a million times better afterall.
I love this "old" style of animation
Weird part is this is official
only the song
Haven't seen this in a long time :3
Jellyfish are too damn good.
Haven't seen this video since 2010. So if the illumination Mario movie is going to be a musical, then Anya Taylor Joy and Jack Black better have a musical number together. And it better be Disney princess meets Tenacious D.
I was probably 9 when I discovered this. Now I’m 27
A classic.
God this is so early 2000s
I wish this gets brings up in the new mario movie
This remaster looked good! 👍
So... "Ignorance is Bliss" or "Peaches"?
Just gonna say it:
Top Hat Goomba can get it.
Was the intro in the original version?
I find it amusing as of Mario Kart 8 one of the race sponsors is Bowser Oil
When was this animation first released? The song is from 1991, but i forgot about the animation, most likely in the 2000's, i remember watching it on Newgrounds back then.
Most sources say 2006

the description, because you really gotta explain it to all those who don't know how the heck you were able to get this lol
but it's really very simple how it works
Darn. Nice hacking.
Yeah
💜 Love! Thank you for the effort!
Ahahaha cool! Cheers!
how much did they pay jellyfish to make this a pro reading song
poggers is nostalgia
2:57

1:24 to 1:27 ignorance is BLISSSSSSSSSSSS
Imagine Jack Black singing this in the new movie
💛
5K???
ahaha cool!
Where is/was the original Swf available?
Nevermind, found it:
dagobah.net/flash/Ignorance_Is_Bliss.swf
And here's the direct link to the Swf itself:
dagobah.net/flashswf/Ignorance_Is_Bliss.swf
By the way, Flash disappeared so you'll need to use Ruffle now to watch it:
ruffle.rs/#usage
@@WadelDee flash player still exists, its just not online anymore
Kinda surprising that, afaik, nobody made a bowsette version of this song
thank god
THATS A GOOD THING THATS ITS NOT MADE YET
I remember this being a lot better.
I also remember the audio and video being a lot more in sync.
andre do HDR next
meta runner in a nutshell!
4:3 version when? widescreen kinda ruins alot of the framing of the original video
Bowser = Trump
That's an insult to Bowser.
How can you insult the great Bowser Koopa like that?
Trump is based
