Ruber looks like he really wants to dance but he's afraid people will make fun of him so he just kind of awkwardly half-dances so he can still get his groove on but be able to pass it off like he's "not really trying to dance" if someone calls him out
Considering the guy has the power to pretty much do whatever he wants, someone would have to be stupid to call him out on his dancing. That or they probably have a death wish.
Fun fact: Gary Oldman took a few shots before doing Rubers lines in order to be more in tune with the insanity of Rubers character. I say he succeeded with flying colors.
I always loved how Ruber's army looked. Like, the idea of an army of Humans so obsessed with power and glory they willingly turned themselves into literal war machines is so fascinating to me.
the mad and the oppressed have one thing in common ....both will willingly give themselfs up to what ever resonates with their desires just as power mad ones baths in eldritch energies with delight to fuse themselfs with weapons in the name of infamy and might.. so will the oppressed walk into foundries of silicon and fiber to emerge as machines of war in the name of their kin and offspring..
Have to say Ruber is one of the most intimating villains out there. His first feat to demonstrate his threat level is he was nearly able to murder Arthur right at the round table that was filled with knights at his side. He was so insanely strong that he bulldozed right through the knights and was only stopped by Excalibur. And just about everything after he does is nothing but impressive, stopping a spiked mace with his bare hands, showing that the griffon is his bitch, and even later on killed a dragon, again, with his bare hands. I even assumed that it was he who lifted the giant off of them once he got into a better position. Ruber was kinda insane.
Not gonna lie, after rediscovering this, I realize Ruber would make such a great d&d villain. I've been thinking of ways to adapt this megalomaniac while jamming out to this whole song.
Same, I've instead switched out the potion he uses for metalmen with an artifact I made that can cast a small list of spells and (with a sacrifice of anyone's blood) turns people into CR:2 demons, and using his army of Bandit Demons to destroy the kingdom and more. Something I hope plan out more.
Im toying with the idea of creating a Dread Domain from Van Richten's Guide where Ruber is a Dreadlord trapped in a world where he "won." The world goes back to the war and violence he wants, and Camelot is both his fortress and prison with an inverted Round Table, where Ruber has Knights that represent evil ideals (greed, power, etc). I imagine the stuff that "killed" him in the movie actually takes him to this Domain instead.
Here’s some info: When I watched the movie, I can actually see why Arthur would have Ruber involved in the round table even though Ruber was clearly messed in the head. Throughout the film, Ruber doesn’t just have his men sent after the group but is personally involved throughout the chase. Within that chase, every problem that the main characters face, they ultimately leave behind for Ruber and his group to deal with in the aftermath… and Ruber CONTINUES to succeed and chase after them. There’s a scene where the group is chased by the dragons and get cornered by Ruber too, but they escape and leave Ruber with the dragons to fight. It transitions with Ruber dropping his sword, getting in a corner, and then punching a dragon in the face. Next scene with Ruber later, and they’re cooking dragon meat on a skillet… Needless to say, Ruber was, no joke, a genuine warrior. Whatever monsters the main group escaped from, Ruber either killed or escaped from as well. There wasn’t a point where Ruber was shocked either. He always seemed to know what he was dealing with even if it was way out of his league to fight, so there are signs of experience and shows why he’s the leader.
Always thought Ralph Fiennes was actually Gary Oldman from this voice. Now I begin wondering what we would get if Gary Oldman was Voldemort with Ruber's dialect.
OH my gosh yes i've always noticed this when I watched it as a kid and ven now, it makes me just so happy!! It really brings in that this character is like actually part of it! I also love the stride hes doing with like the tinest little head bob or shake, like UGHH!! I'm so glad someone else noticed it!!!😁❤❤
I'm a weird person. Been that way my whole life. Now if anyone dares (and I've had a few that did) ask me if I'm mad, I hit them with Ruber's one liner. Leaves them in rotflol stitches but ehhh I'm not complaining. At least I get to use it.
I have a theory on how Ruber was able to become a knight at the Round table, my theory is that Ruber was a very powerful warlord or the son of one, hence his desire for power, and had a lot of enemies. When Arthur came along, he saw that he and Ruber shared many commen enemies and saw Ruber as "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". He asked Ruber for his full support and in return, a place at the Round Table and a possible guarantee of large amount of land, there is one line that Ruber says at the start of the film "I wouldn't have supported you all these years if I thought you were running a charity.". This line also indicates that all the land he had as a warlord was handed over to the Arthur's kingdom and when he tried to get it back, SIr Lionel said that the King had decided. And Ruber's ego couldn't take that so, he fought back. Lost everything and for the next ten years, the only thing that kept him going was his desire for power and revenge against Arthur. Hence why when we see him ten years later, he is more unhinged and driven to near madness.
That's a really good theory. Still, it terrifies me how a psycho like Ruber had a place among the knights of the round table. Can't imagine all the atrocities he has caused using that title
Well, he *did* say he'd been practicing his madness... "No no no NO! You big oaf! It's step, step, turn-step, menace! RESET! We'll take it from the top... again!"
Now we can all agree it wasn’t the best film. But sometimes I don’t need an Oscar worthy script. I just need a fun time and by golly this film is so much fun. I remember watching this and the dragon song over and over again as a kid. Good times.
@@Aithalothes Hey, at least this song has genuine entertainment value and you can see what they were going for with its descent into a hilariously mad rant. As opposed to a certain someone's review-""""parody"""" that just makes you want to beat your face into The Wall.
I've always been of a mind that this song, while it could be improved, that improvement would be to make it sound even more hectic and insane then it already is. Get real Elliot Goldenthal with that orchestration! The actual song itself is perfectly suited to the character of Ruber--frantic, all over the place, rhyming in odd ways, industrial, and aggressively malevolent compared to most villain songs of the 90s. Also, if I may vent, screw COPPA and UA-cam's negligence that made that legislation a necessity, for making discussion on children's media like this impossible, thanks to their gutting the comment sections.
Studio: we need you to play a cartoon villain. Nothing too serious, he turns a chicken into a medieval cyborg. Think you can handle that? Gary Oldman: *Taking some of the Librium he stole off the set of Leon: the Professional* “Sure.”
Years later in Dreamworks: We had watch this cartoon movie and you have lot of mistake, Oldman.Therefore we need to fix you as a villain Peacock in one of our sequel movie, this time *NEED* to be serious, he stealing metals to creating cannons, and has something to do with the main protagonist's past. Can you do it?
I always imaged Ruber as the knight Arthur had to do his dirty work he couldn't ask the others to do. When a kingdom is divided not everyone is gonna come together immediately when someone becomes king. There's always gonna be those who will be against it and I can see Arthur sending Ruber to deal with those people promising land in return and that's when the movie starts and Arthur just casually acts like Ruber is going crazy and Ruber is just fed up with Arthur's bullshit
I don't think that's the case. It's implied in the beginning that each member of the round table got their own land to govern in Arthur's name and Ruber simply wanted more than what he was given.
Thats actually a good idea: Arthur didnt wanted himself or the other knights involved in dirty work so instead he ordered Rubber to deal with those people (warlords, nobles, witches) who were a threat to him and his quest to become king. And after all the bloody work is done Arthur has no intention to give Rubber his promised land. Of course Rubber would be still a megalomaniac mass murdering warrior but Arthur would be still just as guilty as him because he gave Rubber these orders in the first place.
I can't believe I forgot about this movie, what a throwback. I'm going to have to play as Ruber during my next D&D campaign, a fighter so powerful he becomes evil because who can really stop him from taking anything?
Criticisms aside, I love the transformation scene itself as a whole. It's kinda eerie that we don't know the full effects or the "price to pay" that the potion entails. Ruber probably didn't care what happened to his lackies, he probably just saw what the potion could offer him. He's too insane to care about consequences of using the Black Arts. Plus, him using the well (At least, I assume it's a well) as a makeshift way to get his men into their new bodies quickly was a nice way to improvise. Additionally, I don't consider his men as "Robots". I kinda view them as a metallic variant of Trolls, or orcs or whatever they are, instead of flesh and blood. And finally, I love how they incorporated their weapons as LITERAL extensions of their bodies. From Flails, to crossbows, they fully came prepared. The plan didn't need to be subtle, but Ruber was a villain in the sense that the good guys had to ouwit him.
the short sightedness he has for the potion also plays out in the end when he combines this arm to Excalibur, but cannot remove it from his body when he strikes the sword into the stone.
@@suggiethames9870 Yeah, that's true. I think it was because he wasn't happy at the beginning of the movie, and thought he found a place of welcome with the Ruber's lot, only for him to realize he's been treated worse and realizes he was a jerk in the first place.
I like how the female protagonist Kayley doesn't hesitate at all to bash Ruber's head in with a friggin mace. xD You didn't see that happen very often with heroines.
You cannot convince me from the way he's animated and written that Nicolas Cage wasn't the first choice for Ruber and I feel deeply deprived that we didn't get to hear him sing this wild ass villain song.
He was propably a mercenary thst helped Arthur on wars and campaigns and was awarded with knighthood for his accomplishments. Thats how it worked in medieval times. Also, tge guy trusted Lancelot with his wife and a guy nsmed Mordred, safe to say he had trust issues.
It was because of Rubers hysterical strength, berserker fighting skills and near invulnerability to pain. He was such an undeniably outstanding warrior they were willing to take the risk.
This was probably my favorite animated movie as a kid and I rooted for Ruber every single time, I to this day know the words to every song in this movie
This is so much higher in quality than anything produced in over a decade in both art and storytelling. We had no animated films aside from anime. I am so sick for computer animation and lack of songs.
The way this song has been living in my head rent-free since I was a kid! 😂 didn't even remember the movie, just remembered it was some sort of animated King Arthur movie. After like 10 years of random searches, I finally found it!! Lol
With the announcement of the new Pokémon in Legends Arceus (Kleavor) I immediately got memories and nostalgia from something else but I couldn’t remember for the life of me what it was. And now I’ve finally found it!! That one background character with axe arms really had a grip on my subconscious memory
Gary FREAKING Oldman! This man was always meant to play crazy villains when he wasn't playing Commisioner Gordon or Winston Churchill of course. He's just so...*chef's kiss* perfect.😁 Edit: This scene scared me a bit as a kid. Correction, Ruber and his mechanical army themselves scared me a bit as a kid.
Ruber seems like the kind of villain that really wants to break out into song. But rather selfconsciously stops himself short whenever he's about to get into a good riff.
Y'all I just rewatched this movie and I have to say the animators did a really good job. Like others have said here, the movie isn't perfect, but the animation is really detailed (Ruber's fingernails, Kaylee's run through the branches when she went into the forbidden forest, Aiden/Silverwing's flying sequences, and all of Ruber's crazy twitches, eyebrow waves and lip curls). Not to mention how good Gary Oldman sings "...where I will claim all that is mine." The vibrato bro
Special mention goes to 2:47 where Ruber is momentarily visibly wondering what the hell he's going to call his mad creation, and a few seconds later starts humming along to his own theme song while strutting around the well during a lull.
@@shadowslayer9988 It's a SPIKED hunting mace. Observe at 1:37 - 1:40, his fingers avoided the spikes, but his palm should be right on the spike. Look up spiked maces and see how impossible for one's hand to NOT hit spikes when you're grabbing the sharp and lethal end. But, like I said in the first reply. The movie is rated *G.* As in family friendly.
Has anyone else noticed that the coneheaded minion with the axes isn't seen again for the rest of the film following this song and a brief appearance in the next song?

This is so specific but so accurate 😂
I would've still made fun of him by saying "Your song sucks and you can't sing".
Considering the guy has the power to pretty much do whatever he wants, someone would have to be stupid to call him out on his dancing. That or they probably have a death wish.
@@OfficialBulldozerStudios Eh, I would make fun of his dancing anyway lol

Him casually humming along with the music like it's playing in his head and nobody else can hear it 😆
Now I want someone to edit the music out of this so it's just Ruber "rhythmically talking" and humming to himself.
That's my favorite part of this scene. I can't think of a single other example of a movie character humming to their own song
Have to say Ruber is one of the most intimating villains out there.

Gary Oldman Does One Hell of a Job With The Voice Too For Ruber!
He's not intimidating, he's a bland villain who over-acts
Must've had a lot of medieval steroids.
@@erinmccutcheon3751I'm sure there was a potion for that.
he’s such a powerful force for destruction that the best way to defeat him was just to let him destroy himself
Not gonna lie, after rediscovering this, I realize Ruber would make such a great d&d villain. I've been thinking of ways to adapt this megalomaniac while jamming out to this whole song.
Same, I've instead switched out the potion he uses for metalmen with an artifact I made that can cast a small list of spells and (with a sacrifice of anyone's blood) turns people into CR:2 demons, and using his army of Bandit Demons to destroy the kingdom and more. Something I hope plan out more.
Im toying with the idea of creating a Dread Domain from Van Richten's Guide where Ruber is a Dreadlord trapped in a world where he "won." The world goes back to the war and violence he wants, and Camelot is both his fortress and prison with an inverted Round Table, where Ruber has Knights that represent evil ideals (greed, power, etc).

At least his men are easy enough; Iron Golems, the whole lot of 'em.

Arthur beat him in the opening scene when he rebelled with Excalibur.
@@trueblue6201Now that I think about it was King Arthur’s good swordsman or was he carried by Excalibur
The cartoon sound fx always had me laughing. Maybe they added them to make this scene not so scary? Either way, it's great.
The scene was still pretty creepy.
I’m supposing it was, this scene might have been a lot more scary to kids without “funny axe chicken”
The iron monsters remained me of the burning legion from warcraft
If that was their goal they failed. He gave me nightmares as a child 😂
I think this movie would have been much better as a PG-13 rated movie with blood and even some profanity. It might’ve done better in the theaters.
Maybe, I enjoyed this movie, but I think the problem was that it tried to hard to emulate Disney when it should have tried something else.
Jonathan Wells I'm also guessing that the dragons would have a bit of shock humor
And we would have more warner bros animated films.
It was meant to be a kids' show, thank you very much.
But, this movie is rated g.
I can't believe I forgot about this movie, what a throwback. I'm going to have to play as Ruber during my next D&D campaign, a fighter so powerful he becomes evil because who can really stop him from taking anything?
hahha same ,i made a character named Ruber in ESO, Albion online, Mount & blade, Conquerors blades xd
Apparently, a blind man, and a girl welding Excalibur which she never gets to use.
I've always wanted to made Ruber a villain in my campaign but I couldn't get it right...
Criticisms aside, I love the transformation scene itself as a whole. It's kinda eerie that we don't know the full effects or the "price to pay" that the potion entails. Ruber probably didn't care what happened to his lackies, he probably just saw what the potion could offer him. He's too insane to care about consequences of using the Black Arts. Plus, him using the well (At least, I assume it's a well) as a makeshift way to get his men into their new bodies quickly was a nice way to improvise. Additionally, I don't consider his men as "Robots". I kinda view them as a metallic variant of Trolls, or orcs or whatever they are, instead of flesh and blood. And finally, I love how they incorporated their weapons as LITERAL extensions of their bodies. From Flails, to crossbows, they fully came prepared. The plan didn't need to be subtle, but Ruber was a villain in the sense that the good guys had to ouwit him.
the short sightedness he has for the potion also plays out in the end when he combines this arm to Excalibur, but cannot remove it from his body when he strikes the sword into the stone.
@@mckenzie.latham91 Exactly. I never thought of it that way, nice thinking friend!
I think the rooster enjoyed being a monster (at least at first)
@@suggiethames9870 Yeah, that's true. I think it was because he wasn't happy at the beginning of the movie, and thought he found a place of welcome with the Ruber's lot, only for him to realize he's been treated worse and realizes he was a jerk in the first place.
But it's never explained
This rhythmic background music during the transformations is the most unsettling thing ever! I was so afraid as a child and I still kinda am
Ruber is basically a Chaos Knight. And it is glorious, pure supervillainy
I like how the female protagonist Kayley doesn't hesitate at all to bash Ruber's head in with a friggin mace. xD You didn't see that happen very often with heroines.
Ruber is the only villain I’ve ever seen with the confidence to punch a dragon in the face 😂
@@samparrish4870thn proceeds to eat said dragon for dinner,refuses to elaborate further..ruber is truly the gigachad of this movie 😂
Fun Fact: Gary Oldman would actually drink beforehand and get a good buzz going to get into the right frame of mind for voicing Ruber.
A good call on his part. Ruber sounds crazy and proud of it.
Not at all surprised. Dude's chewing the scenery so viciously that it explains the inconsistent animation lol.
No wonder Dreamworks get Oldman played as Lord Shen
1:37 Kaylee has some major balls to try and attack Ruber from behind! Shame it failed.
At least she got her revenge on him at the end.
Nope. Kayley is female not Male. She've been Played By her
You cannot convince me from the way he's animated and written that Nicolas Cage wasn't the first choice for Ruber and I feel deeply deprived that we didn't get to hear him sing this wild ass villain song.
Hahaha I could see it!
Sure, but man... it's Gary Oldman lol THE Gary Oldman
He’s honestly my favorite and most underrated villain
Man, Gary Oldman was gloriously camp in this in all the best ways.
Question - why was Ruber made a Knight of the Round Table in the first place? Could Merlin not tell he was a complete psycho?
He was propably a mercenary thst helped Arthur on wars and campaigns and was awarded with knighthood for his accomplishments. Thats how it worked in medieval times. Also, tge guy trusted Lancelot with his wife and a guy nsmed Mordred, safe to say he had trust issues.
According to 4chan, he was the inbred son of a previous knight.
This dude literally bitch slapped a dragon and is eating it moments later. Why wouldn't he make him a knight.
It was because of Rubers hysterical strength, berserker fighting skills and near invulnerability to pain. He was such an undeniably outstanding warrior they were willing to take the risk.
@@JWeb66 True.
When the villain breaks into your house and starts singing you know shits about to go down.
1:30 What a laugh ! And then that's not a evil laugh, that's Laugh of fun!!
The Weapon Robots sure do make for pretty frightening minions, being both lethal and fast.
This was probably my favorite animated movie as a kid and I rooted for Ruber every single time, I to this day know the words to every song in this movie
Gary Oldman is So Good Voicing Ruber!
2:00 “I have a plan! It includes YOU!” Well, no shit! Here I thought you just wanted to tell a random stranger your idea.
This is so much higher in quality than anything produced in over a decade in both art and storytelling. We had no animated films aside from anime. I am so sick for computer animation and lack of songs.
This scene scared the SH☆T out of me when I was little but it was absolutely my favorite movie
The slight laughing as he walks around the pool is a perfect addition to this song
This guy killed Julianna's husband and still has the audacity to ask her for a kiss lol
It was all part of the plan.
First, Ruber kills Sir Lionel, and ten years later, he now asks his widow Lady Juliana for a kiss? Ugh! That’s despicable! I am absolutely disgusted!
@tesscarvelli4690 All part of the plan
"I hear your still single."
"now im BACK, and i will be staaaayyying this tiiiiiiiime" has been stuck in head for years and years lmao
The way this song has been living in my head rent-free since I was a kid! 😂 didn't even remember the movie, just remembered it was some sort of animated King Arthur movie. After like 10 years of random searches, I finally found it!! Lol
I always thought Ruber’s song slapped when that beat came in 😂
"Transform the weak and sickly into iron men!". Raise your hand if it fits Dr. Julius Robotnik's roboticization.
✋ This'll fits.
He's like a Medieval Dr. Robotnik
Doesn’t help, that bladebeak is voiced by sonic himself
Jaleel white.
Ruber is so sadistic & I love it
“Okay, is he just making this song up as he goes?”
-Nostalgia Critic
It's like the movie was at war with itself whether or not to have a villain song as it's happening
With the announcement of the new Pokémon in Legends Arceus (Kleavor) I immediately got memories and nostalgia from something else but I couldn’t remember for the life of me what it was. And now I’ve finally found it!! That one background character with axe arms really had a grip on my subconscious memory
Even if critics think this movie is a Disney ripoff, it’s still of my all-time favorite animated films.
Gary FREAKING Oldman! This man was always meant to play crazy villains when he wasn't playing Commisioner Gordon or Winston Churchill of course. He's just so...*chef's kiss* perfect.😁
Edit: This scene scared me a bit as a kid. Correction, Ruber and his mechanical army themselves scared me a bit as a kid.
Well Churchill is a villain
So do Lord Shen
2:20 "Now watch me create, my mechanical army!" proceeds to pop and lock the earliest form of "The Robot"!
2:20: that motion is so good.
I agree!
“But before she can become the world’s greatest knight Ruber takes over their village by doing the most diabolical thing. Singing”
Ruber seems like the kind of villain that really wants to break out into song. But rather selfconsciously stops himself short whenever he's about to get into a good riff.
Gary Oldman is so brilliant
Agreed Gary Oldman is So Great Playing Villains!
2:19 WHY AM I DYING OF LAUGHTER
This movie was better than I remember it being. I love the lampshade hanging.
4:12 Did they just dabbed.
Y'all I just rewatched this movie and I have to say the animators did a really good job. Like others have said here, the movie isn't perfect, but the animation is really detailed (Ruber's fingernails, Kaylee's run through the branches when she went into the forbidden forest, Aiden/Silverwing's flying sequences, and all of Ruber's crazy twitches, eyebrow waves and lip curls). Not to mention how good Gary Oldman sings "...where I will claim all that is mine." The vibrato bro
Idk how much they paid Gary Oldman to do this film but it wasn't enough for how hard he went XD
Therefore Gary Oldman went to Dreamworks and became Lord Shen to make him better and enough for how hard he went
2:30 Acme goes back that far?!
I think the background singers say
"We are the darkness, we are the doom.
We are the army of glory and gloom"
i love this song, this is my favorite part of the movie its so cool
Me too. 😆
Mans going from a ordinary Trojan Horse scheme to get into Camelot to "MECHANICAL ARMY" in a instant, goddamn amazing.
2:55 Is he humming his own song?
I think he's having trouble connecting the dots these days, that's for sure.
Special mention goes to 2:47 where Ruber is momentarily visibly wondering what the hell he's going to call his mad creation, and a few seconds later starts humming along to his own theme song while strutting around the well during a lull.
Favourite film growing up
@2:20
"now watch me create my mechanical army"
WHAT IS HE DOING!?!?!?! 🤣 while he says that
😂😂😂
Industrial Dance or the Robot dance hahah.
Have you ever seen a Villain that loved the sound of his own voice more than Ruber?
This has to be the best 90s era villain
1:36! Nice catch!
That was always badass
I'm more concerned of how his hand isn't bleeding from one of the mace's- oh Yeah! The movie is rated G. Right.
@@benjaminc.9015 no hes just so badass he doesn't bleed
@@benjaminc.9015 he didn't hit the spikes
@@shadowslayer9988 It's a SPIKED hunting mace. Observe at 1:37 - 1:40, his fingers avoided the spikes, but his palm should be right on the spike. Look up spiked maces and see how impossible for one's hand to NOT hit spikes when you're grabbing the sharp and lethal end. But, like I said in the first reply. The movie is rated *G.* As in family friendly.
Has anyone else noticed that the coneheaded minion with the axes isn't seen again for the rest of the film following this song and a brief appearance in the next song?
He got the potion from the Acme Factory, not from witches.
That’s what I figured.
Bladebeak was having a blast!
