- Опубліковано 6 лют 2020
- Delgo is one of the biggest animated FAILURES in cinematic history. Its visuals also fall right into the uncanny valley. Hope y'all are ready to meet your new sleep paralysis demon!

I threw myself 100% into this video. I really wanted to have fun with the edits and go to town on the topic since it's so bizarre. Enjoy!

HELLO
Are you sure you're not a furry?
Been waiting all week for this!! Ready for childhood memories to surface lol
No one cares if your first
“He went to the movie theatre to see how many people would come and no one showed up”
OW MY HEART THAT POOR MAN NEEDS A HUG
Sometimes I think about going to watch these kind of films in the cinema just so that the artists get some acknowledgement from their audience. There poor people work so hard and really love their movies. Heck, animation is hard and it must suck when everyone makes fun of something you've poured your heart into.
Jodi Pearson ditto, I have a lot of stories I put my soul into so I can only imagine how soul crushing it would be to see people hate them
I always feel bad for the people that are actually passionate about their art but it still ends up failing, whether the actual art is good or not. I guess it just hits a little too close to home.
@Micheal Shuman Are u referring to underperformed movies?
@@oliviawoloshyn5824 Yeah it feels bad when you Know you're being pitied but, knowing that they're apathetic seems even worse...
The uncanny valley: When the people who made the models are under-qualified and the animators over-qualified.

Or vice versa
Didn't expect to see you here
@@overdosed3002 me either. hi tf2 man
wtf poopscrapz???
There's an alternative universe where this movie was successful and there's Delgo themed kids birthday parties, bedrooms and costumes and everything!
And in that same universe, Avatar and Frozen were massive box office bombs that nobody remembers. Also Howard The Duck was the best MCU film and Pixar's only good movie was Cars 2.
And also The Sequel Trilogy we’re the only good Star Wars trilogy
And Kaena: The Prophecy and Battle For Terra were pretty good movies before Delgo came out
And Zzyzx Road was the highest grossing movie of all time
Thank you for making me feel better 😭
That guy who wanted to see if anyone would come to the theaters to watch Delgo, I respect him. He saw one family enjoy the movie and, to him, that was a victory no matter how small. Maybe if things were different, he would've had an animation masterpiece on his hands.

Yup, there's green, yellow and brown
The movie : Doesn't to do Hollywood's stuff
Also the movie : Has the comic relief, the villain who looks like a villain and the "I'm a female so I wear pink and fall in love the main character but look how strong and independent I am" relief.
Along with prominent actors from Hollywood.

In complete honesty I thought that intro was going to be “you like action, you like fantasy, well I have the game for you... RAID:Shadow Legends”
I love that people now rip on this game.
Oh my god that is so true I was thinking the same thing
well but to be honest
RAID: Shadow Legends™ is an immersive online experience with everything you'd expect from a brand new RPG title. It's got an amazing storyline, awesome 3D graphics, giant boss fights, PVP battles, and hundreds of never before seen champions to collect and customize.
I never expected to get this level of performance out of a mobile game. Look how crazy the level of detail is on these champions!
RAID: Shadow Legends™ is getting big real fast, so you should definitely get in early. Starting now will give you a huge head start. There's also an upcoming Special Launch Tournament with crazy prizes! And not to mention, this game is absolutely free!

@@filthykid7069 I'll not argue your preference
There was a trailer, I almost wanted to see it, but thankfully I didn’t.
Damn I feel bad for the man, all he wanted is to create his own movie. And I am being honest
This movie came out when I was in my mid-teens, and I remember me and my Mom seeing a poster for it when we went to the Theater one day. She stopped to stare at it and said it's title in a tone of voice I can best describe as a combination of confusion and disgust. And then we kept walking.
The Uncanny Valley should be an actual plot point in a movie.
Ryan Carless sounds super meta and fun
m.ua-cam.com/video/xg29TuWo0Yo/v-deo.html
There is a videogame based off that
Curtop What’s it called
Maybe it could be about a world with cute cartoony characters but a virus known to them as Uncanny Valley starts infecting and turning them into zombies of some sort. Then the 4 main characters set out to find a cure but are faced with trials along the way, (hordes of infected Uncanny Valley dudes and predatory monsters) and maybe one of them falls victim to the virus and has to be killed. Then yada yada yada they find the place where the ingredients that could make a cure are kept, they create a cure, and then boom everyone who isn't dead is happy.
Saber: "Do you remember Delgo?"
Me: "Well yes, actually."
Saber: "No, of course you don't."
Me: "Oh. . ."
Welp, need to erase my memory before I can go on and watch this vid
Off to concuss myself!
Watched it in a local theatre when it was released as a birthday present....... suffice to say we got refunds and then went for ice cream and cake!
I watched it on Cartoon Network. I hated it, but I remember it
@@LoryskaEntertainment It's like trying to forget the first 5 minutes of 2 girls one cup..........
You do...... until someone mentions it ;)
Saber: "talks about the movie"
Me: "just wondering what is happening to the bad guy's wings"
I actually have vague memories of seeing this, so I can answer that! She got her wings cut off when she was banished, and she’s wearing decorative prosthetics for the rest of the movie. That’s why she was killed by a fall- her fake wings didn’t let her fly.
@@EclipseDoesArt oh ok thanks
@@theskeletonsarejudgingyou2117 happy to help! My mind latches on to really weird and random things, so I’m always happy to share some tidbit or other if the situation arises ^w^
I remember seeing trailers of this as a kid and begging my parents to get it, only for them to tell me, "No. Absolutely not." I was so mad back then, but I can now thank them in hindsight.
"Animation is a median, not a genre, and it's not specifically for kids.". Great quote, if only everyone understood this, we would definitely have a better appreciation for animated films and live films as a whole.
I think you meant “medium,” not median, but yeah I agree.
I glad Japan already got the right idea half of century ago. Western countries especially the USA, on the other hand, are still catching up.
@@emperorfaiz I think the problem is in the West if you can park a kid in front of something and it shuts them up, it makes it "for kids". Animated shows/films and video games are examples of this mentality.
EmperorFaiz Sadly true, and is also the reason a lot of the best from adult swim is anime.
The worst part is when people use “It’s for kids” to peddle garbage because they think they’re stupid and not worth the effort. Literally the most mature stories I’ve ever seen came from “Kids” media.
The director of this film was everyone’s teacher in film school apparently
Takes the saying "if you can't do, teach" to a whole new level
This sure makes me fear for the future of animated movies.
Lmfao
That’s an insult to film school teachers....
@@Unqualifiedmedicalperson after checking the guy up, apparently he was a pretty nice dude. that's really cruel of you to say. why are you so mean

I feel like this movie (along with Strange Magic) was just a great idea that just unfortunately suffered from bad execution. So much potential for a masterpiece flushed down the drain which is such a shame really because I would love to see more mature, action-oriented animated movies (that are not from Japan) get wide theatrical releases. 😞Oh well. At least, ever since the failures of Delgo and Strange Magic, we got Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse which was a big financial and critical success and we are getting a sequel to that movie in 2022 though. 😊
legit
i feel like this movie would have had a extremely deep and interesting lore if only was executed in the right way. Such a shame
I swear I saw both these movies a few years ago and I'm pretty sure I mixed up the movie plots in my head
The director of this film was one of my teachers at film school. He's an eccentric guy, and he was very proud of this film. While this movie gets goofed on a lot (rightfully so), it stands apart from most other poorly-made CGI films. This was the first CGI film made outside of the studio model, meaning the size of this team and the resources they had was absolutely tiny compared to their competitors. Most people said an out-of-studio CGI movie was impossible to make. This director proved them wrong - only problem was that the movie sucks. I think the director would admit the movie's flaws, but he was still very proud of what he accomplished.
Bruh
Nice larp, what next, did the whole bus clap?
We went to the same school? You a SCAD-grad friend?
What are the chances
OK BOOMER
Unpopular opinion: the characters aren’t THAT ugly. Like sure, they’re ugly but honestly I’ve seen uglier characters on Disney/Nick/Cartoon Network shows
Agree
The reason they look so repulsive to me is that they're ugly but also weirdly realistic. It adds this grossness to it, in my opinion.
I think the models could have a used a few more deviations from human, but yea, I don’t actually find them that bad. And honestly, I think the turtle people look far better than the faerie people. The faerie people look more uncanny to my eyes
I agree, they're not actually hitting that Uncanny Valley note for me. Sure, they're not great looking, but they're not nearly as bad as some of the other things we've seen on this channel. The child models look kinda bad though.
Agreed, I've seen worse.
Forest ranger: what are you using to make that fire?
Me: Delgo copies
Forest ranger: carry on.
Imagine if the forest burns down
The history was kinda sad, everyone loved to do it but then life came and said:
No no no no! Your movie, the years you spent on it, the money, everything, everything is going to the trash now because yes :).
Yeah I felt pretty bad for the voice actor, Michael, that was proud of his work and then saberspark made fun of the behind the scenes scene...
The voice actors were mostly good, except the main ones. You have Val Kilmer, Anne Bancroft, Burt Reynolds, Malcolm McDowell, all actors who have already proven their talents and had decades of work behind them when they worked on this. But the issue was with the actor playing Delgo and his sidekick.
These characters look like the creepy halfway point in an animorphs cover.
I was thinking Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes but in 90's PS1 cut-scene Animation with a Ferngully esque plotline.
No it's the non fantasy animorphic reality version.
Saberspark: “Animation doesn’t always need to be for kids.”
FTC: “I’m just gonna ignore that.”
What's FTC?
anyone who thinks animation is just for kids is the lowest form of neanderthal
@@marakarthegreat those are probably the same idiots that think all kids movies are dumb and immature
@@memelover6917 precisely
UA-cam made that rule. It has absolutely nothing to do with the FTC ruling. Don't fall for corporate propaganda.
the movie reminds me of cats, with weirdly realistic human like characters and a wack ass story line
I wanna see the original vhs tape.
the 2019 cats, though. cats 1998 is a treasure.
"Delgo budget: $ 40 million"
yikes. Princess Mononoke had a budget of $ 23 million
Two people died during production? Sounds like the movie cursed them.
And to be honest, The Curse of Delgo's Production sounds like a much better film.
somebody make this
Imagine the last thing you ever worked on being something as awful as this. Those poor, unfortunate souls.
Michael Clarke Duncan passed away too, but in 2012.
We need a new genre of film with the idea being the making of bad movies. "Disaster Artist" and "Dolemite is my name" would be the standard bearer.

I agree with the ending... I'm trying to write sometihng of a simular tone and I had to drop so many characters and ideas because the plot itself was to bloated. Piece of advice; IT'S OKAY TO DROP IDEAS WHEN THEY DON'T WORK.
3:54 using these generic stock images to describe very serious issues just cracked me up, and then the unnecessary/incomplete blur was just the cherry on top
The director of this movie was one of my professors in art school
Oop

Well, that's sad

"They made my character look very handsome"
*cuts to turtle man with very slightly more prominent cheekbones*
hmm
I watched this movie as a kid. Forgot it existed. I lived happily in peace.
Now you've brought it back from the deepest corners of my mind.
How could you...
I'm writing a book right now and I absolutely love it! It's my first book idea that isn't a shameless ripoff of a movie I like lol. I've been working on it for almost a year and my mind tends to wander there any chance it gets. I've shown it to my friends and they like it, too! I even ask them if there's anything in the story I need to change. I have a lot of passion for this book and seeing how much the Delgo team cared for their movie kinda scares me. I don't want to end up in a situation where I'm waiting to see if people like my story and no one even cares enough to show up. That is my greatest fear as a writer.
Oof I feel ya. It's always rough if your work is rejected.
But best suggestion is - do the best you can. But always accept you are learning and getting better. So even if one project didn't pan out - there's always another day.
This entire movie looks like a late 90's game cinematic.
I mean if early 2000s count as late 90s you're on to something
Not wrong Bone Boy, not wrong.

Saber narrating is so good I’d listen to it on repeat multiple times and would want to hear it in a movie
I watched it when i was like 3-5 years old. And i didn't understand a thing, especially since it was in english. But watching it felt good and epic. And the emotions stay with me up to this day when i remember the movie.
I genuinely feel bad that the movie didn't do well, after the team poured their hearts and souls onto it.
They were so passionate about their project that they forgot to pay attention to their story and characters.
Don't be.
@@ImageSC bro, have some sympathy?? do you know how long 10 years of work is? do you know how expensive it is to make a movie? imagine spending all your time and effort on a project that you cared about so much just to watch everyone shit on it? like yeah, it's garbage, don't get me wrong, but there's a difference between being critical about a movie and being sympathetic to the writers. don't tell someone not to be sympathetic, because if someone acts cruel to you, it's something you asked for, then you can't complain about it.
@Ryder Spider *extremely* well spoken! i agree with you 100%.
@@ryderspider8841 i mean, I used to. But after looking at how they came about making this movie, It's slowly chipped away. Like Saber said, I congratulate them for trying, but this was not well thought out and at the expense of others and sacrificing other things to make something just because is not right. If you want more detail, i can provide it if you'd like.

I’ll say one thing, I like the wings on the fairy people.
They look both alien-bug like and fantasy person like. I also like how they’re not static when they aren’t flying, they bounce a little when they walk and they flutter and stretch them sometimes when they talk and move.
I do remember seeing a dvd trailer for this movie, deep in the recesses of my childhood. Glad to know it wasn't in fact a fever dream induced hallucination.
"These names are so over the top"
*delgos father*
Yeah I kind of disagree with him saying its over the top. It seems straightforward and not too hard to recall.
@Gyllen Stålson yeep
Almost as bad as Boruto's Dad
Hey dude my teacher wrote and directed this movie. I have a signed Delgo poster to top it off. This was his first film and he made it fresh out of college and didn’t know what he was doing at all. He was given so much funding despite no experience. The movie ended up blacklisting him from a career in filmmaking, when that’s what he wanted to do. He teaches story at college now and tries to inspire kids by being clear about his mistakes and the circumstances that brought him there. He’s very loved by his students and really isn’t a bad guy. I love film roast videos but I just wanted to be clear about this guys character for people to see in the comments section so no one starts attacking the guy.
EDIT: Hey ya’ll slight update!! I am working in Accounting for Disney now! its pretty awesome! FSU Film is a great program and Jason is a fantastic mentor. I wrote this comment back in college and it still stands today. Thats all for now!
Honesty if what you say is true, then I kinda feel sorry for him cause it basically ruined his career

That's a pretty steep accusation considering you only read two shoddily put together sentences.
I can hardly remember certain things from the late 2000's but if I see a photo from my photobooks, everything comes back to me. So I don't remember this movie being in theaters in 2008. I was a seven year old child and what I can remember was having a Hello Kitty themed birthday party.
Delgo's comic relief sidekick, Annoying Turtle Man reminds me of Barack Obama from rtgame's playthrough of Miitopia. I think it's the lankiness paired with the hat.
Cats: Oh, you’re approaching me?
Delgo: I can‘t terrify audiences without getting closer!

Yeah I honestly agree.
They didn't do a decent job, though. They got good voice actors, but didn't give them good facilities . They put a 70-something Anne Bancroft in a recording booth the size of a phone booth in an area where you could hear the sound of toilets, while she was also suffering from cancer (a fact they most likely didn't know, but still.)

Urgh, Delgo sounds like the name of an old department store that's about to go out of business and has a very depressing atmosphere
Blockbuster vibes
After seeing the concept art it seems like the movies designs would honestly have worked better if it was traditional animation... not great but better
The concept art looks super cool
How to make Delgo better:
1) Better animation
2) Less uncanney designs
3) Have Saber re-write the story
4) Make the characters more interesting
@radf yes
So, nobody is talking about the guy at 11:05 who said " X is very handsome" and then said "he's designed after me" ?
They made his character very VERY UGLY
Saber: the music was bad except when they apparently we're ripping off pirates of the caribbean. See listen:
Delgo clip: (obnoxious comic relief noises)
This gives me an useful tip for character designing: Stay as far as you can from the uncanny valley.
And story writing advice too: Don’t over rely on tropes and cliches. Try and add something special to them.
I feel like you should've known that without having it being told to you lol
Why do you think some of us are writing fanfictions at first?
I think the uncanny valley can be used if you're designing something *intentionally* horrifying. Ghost in a shell, the villains in courage the cowardly dog and the aragami from God Eater are good examples.
And try doing something original

1:45 my favorite meme right there
See, where they went wrong is assuming that the magnum opus that takes 10 years is the thing that's supposed to open the doors. No, the magnum opus is the thing that's supposed to happen long after you've had the doors opened.
When people say "X has the worst box office openings of all time" I always refer to John Travolta's The Fanatic that only grossed $3,135
How about "Zyzzyx Road" which made about $30 in the box office?
The Flaine wtf did like 3 or 2 people watch it
Or repo the genetic opera, a movie with an estimated budget of $8.5 million, and a box office gross of $188,126
This is why Saber specified "which was released in over 2000 theaters".
The Flaine ...I have to say, though, even despite its bottlenecked release (only one theater, and even then just to satisfy the law before marketing overseas), that is some incredible levels of failure even by that standard.
And apparently 10 of that $30 was *refunded,* on top of that.
You'd think more people would have seen it by *accident* than that, even...

@@helpfulapple3125 oof
I have a book about computer animation that I got in San Francisco when I was a kid long before Delgo was released and I was still a kid by the time it was as it took ten years to make, the book had a small section about it, they really were excited about it and it really was promising and I saw the characters and strange dinosaur like animals and for years I always wanted to see it.
So I guess this makes me the only kid who was genuinely hyped for Delgo.

This movie is almost as if Epic, Starwars, and Lord of the rings had a kid...except...it was a very unsuccessful child
when it comes to chromosomes, more isn't better
I hate that this makes sense
Oh god... you’re right! *starts screaming*
Maybe lord of the rings and star wars we’re related because that don’t look right
Yeah, there was something wrong with the relationship, and this was the only (mostly) non-violent means of reaching catharsis
They couldn't decide where on the Sliding Scale of Anthropormorphism they wanted the characters to fall on, and they chose the wrong spot.
you just unlcoked a long lost memory. thank you.
This movie did not deserve the sweet, godly voice of Michael Clarke Duncan.
Agreed.
The man had a voice like melted butter
May he rest in peace... With his mouses!
Alexandre Turcotte WHAT!?
Sophia Vlogs We know he passed away in 2012 of heart failure and that mice was a theme in one of his movies.
The fact that the writers had so much hope and passion for the story already planning two other movies and it just.. flopped. I know people that have stories they’ve been working for years and are really passionate about it, building the world immensely, and seeing something like this, I hope they can take notes. Yes, you have an idea with a huge world to build on, but you have to organize it correctly, keep the world building brief BUT interesting, and make characters interesting.
I think part of why this line of thinking persists is how people never want to be mean. Like they sing countless praises because they wanted to be one of the supporters of something big. But because they fear negativity so much, they never offer legit criticisms which is exactly what art relies on.
It's like with Lion King remake and how there were concerns with how the live cgi was executed. But people defensively talked about how people worked hard or that just the lion king name is good enough. Good intentions does not guarantee a good quality creation.
It's why you need to be careful and test your products before you go whole hog. Start with an animatic, maybe make an 11 minute short, make a Direct to DVD movie and THEN go for the gusto with the major motion film.
@@pluna3382 Thing is even if you ask for criticism on your work, you aren't guaranteed to get it if any. That's something I sadly go through as someone who is trying to make a comic and hopefully see it on screen someday.
I wonder if this concept would've worked better in book form
I don't want to sound horribly bad but
This movie is just absolute garbage
guys lets make Delgo: Recreated
so basically it is just delgo but a collab and the movie will be fixed via Saber's points.
That... could be good.
I call the pet sidekick being female
This has to be my favorite review from this channel. All the jokes were just hilarious. "Turtle lips," nuff said.
I actually loved this movie growing up lmao. My parents HATED it and I feel bad for the sheer number of times I made them watch it
I think most of us had a _Delgo_ of our own. Or several that we watched on a rotation. Mine was episodes of _Care Bears_ taped off TV.
Just to confirm@@stevethepocket words.
In my childhood i really liked that noah's ark movie (you know which one) and rewatched it dozens of times.
@@stevethepocket Are you talkin' 80s Care Bears? If so, I'm so there with you. I was born in '82. Care Bears and MLP was my jam. However, my mom liked those shows, as well, so it wasn't murderous on her or my dad when I wanted to watch episodes on recorded VHS tapes. :) Those were the days~
Mine was probably gumbi. Its seriously great seeing all the crazy shit saber finds. I wouldve never found this on my own lol :)
For me it was that weird dinosaur one. Where one character was like yee or whatever haha. Watched that nonstop as a kid, now seeing it, yikes
Saberspark: "Aw yeah look at that *_CREVICE"_*
Monkey Moses: "I SWEAR TO GOD"
God: _"Me dammit, Moses, I literally JUST GAVE YOU those tablets and you already forgot about #3?!"_
Noooo! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
@Colin Steadland I looked at the 144p profile picture and decided not to. Thank you for confirming my will to *never click on their channel*
@Colin Steadland What do you mean by that?
The main female character looks like a less offensive version of the ugly stepsister from shrek. That said, I think Delgo is a good example of how Saber can be WAY too hard on visuals sometimes. He uses the word "uncanny" so often that it starts to not sound like a word.
Everyone else: Delgo looks horrific
Saberspark: * notices ur bulge* OwO wats this?
"Also, why does Delgo have such a huge co-" *Roll Credits*
Madmouse 101 the face Delgo makes in that last shot is a perfect match for the question
Cookie copilot comb combine
Yah he has a huge combine for farming
Madmouse 101 lol that made me laugh
You look at this movie and think:
_"CG Animation Was a Mistake"_
Yeah
dingo picture: indeed, 2d animation is way cheaper ya
@@pikminologueraisin2139 Ikr, traditional animation deserves a resurrection 😏
@@pikminologueraisin2139 The downside of 2D animations are time-consuming sometimes.
@@mechajay3358 Swear to God, stickmen fight animations are more entertaining.
I’m living for Sedessa’s voice, her va did a great job.
Anne Bancroft, a legendary actress in her own right.
i bought this very cheaply (animated films are what i tend to watch) i remember a couple things about it. 1 - quoting a line along with movie having never seen it because it was so cookie cutter, and 2 - really, really liking the world. remove the people. the background world. i really liked the flora and fauna of the world they created. i found those creatures far more of interest then the film.
it's like they played yoshi's story while making the characters and then watched Disney's Dinosaur once before making last minute changes
oooo, hey, I thought the characters had familiar features; they totally look like the iguanadons from Disneys "Dinosaur"!! Except uglier.
@@Kardinaalilintu Uglier? More like more disgusting and deformed. And there's also a bit of Shrek and Michael Bay TMNT in them. 😂
Unlike this movie I actually remember dinosaur hahha
I remember my school playing this movie during black history month.
Yep.
BLACK
HISTORY
MONTH
Jekhi Gaming I feel like your school was misguided or subtly racist
DragonMaiden77 well the movie has the topic of racism so I mean it’s not really that offensive.
It’s just a really weird choice.
Considering that plenty of conspiracy theorists believe minority groups are secretly lizard people... Not a great choice.
@@SolaireHighwind wait, really? That's kinda nasty.
@@r.j.penfold Of course not really. "Lizard people are just a racist allegory!" is just what the actual lizard people want you to think.
"Delgo" = "Cats: Shell-less Turtles Edition"
