I get you are going for a joke with the thumbnail but I was already pulling up the 'do not show this channel' option before I noticed it was you. There is so much of this 'content' on UA-cam that blocking it is second nature.
Same, alot of people use this kind of Thumbnail unironically and call everything something something woke, pandering or "the message". I watched that kind of content for a while, but it became old very fast. I do not want to engade with that kind of stuff now and if someone calls something unironically "woke" I automatically don't take it seriously anymore and I lose like 80% percent of my respect for that person
"Chekhov's entrance music! And he's got a GUN!" God damn Bob you put more effort into your little throwaway jokes than most people do in their entire videos (this is a good thing). Excellent work, man! Love all three of these!
God. It's funny you started with THIS one to start your "This Movie Exists" series. I watched this at my grandma's house, couldn't remember the name and honestly wondered if it was even real my entire life. Thank you for this!
I felt similar. I only remembered that I had ever seen this movie on tv when Bob got to the cloaked goblin morphing back to prince charming. I went "Wait. That's where that scene comes from?" Such strange clips that linger in your mind without context.
There are a ton of things I watched as a kid 😂 only to rediscover years and years later and be like "oh that's what that was!!!" One I specifically remember was a movie called the Halloween tree which was one of the last things the Hanna Barbera company worked on, it's basically a bunch of kids learn history about the characters they're dressed up as by a Dracula stand in cause the Dracula stand-in kidnapped their friend. It's okay, but for the longest time I didn't know what it was called or who made it and I thought I might have dreamt it.
This is really a cool set of ideas; Dwarves as magically powered crew, Evil villain but with a legit beef, original IP sequel to a public domain property. If this were made with better animation, stuff for everyone to do, and more iconic character designs, I can see it being enjoyable.
Honestly as long as you could seperate it from being viewed as a response to Disney and just as its own fairy tale thing, its not the worst concept to start adding fun wacky stuff too.
@@oshkeet Frankly they should’ve done there own Snow White story first before doing something like this. Being a sequel to technically nothing didn't do the story any favors.
@@andrewklang809did you know there were guns in the time when Cleopatra was queen, and Astro Boy was there as well, and time travel was involved for some reason
@@EvanJamesAudio you can't be serious, there's no way it's gonna happen, mostly because the director (Mel Gibson) and star (Jim Caviezel) of that film have gotten way too crazy over the years
I watched this movie repeatedly on VHS as a kid because my family and I were living overseas and didn’t have access to movie rentals or stores, so we just watched the hell out of what we had. Back then, I didn’t think it was good, it was just something to watch. Rewatching it as an adult, it’s a lot more entertaining. The voice actors and their performances are fun in a very nostalgic way, the animation is decent enough to be interesting in places, the Filmation sound effects are delightful throughout, and there are some genuinely badass moments. My favorite on rewatch was seeing Mother Nature swat Malice in dragon form out of the sky with a lightning bolt shot out of her pinky finger. As goofy as Phyllis Nature is, she quickly demonstrates that you don’t mess with her. Also, Batso proves to be quite the snarky little bastard at times while still maintaining his cheerfully innocent demeanor.
12 year old me is mad she never got to see this movie - cause she would have EATEN IT UP! Seriously, this looks way better than I excpected and I would have watched this until the VHS gave out when I was a tween. They don't make movies like this anymore...
Right?? Our VHS copy definitely got some use. This was a rainy day staple in our house growing up. For all its flaws Happily Ever After a fun enchanting film for younger audiences who have a hour or two to kill.
It never fails. Whenever somebody sings in a low-budget animated production from before the '90s (depending on the film), there's suddenly reverb in their voice, and that reverb disappears when they just talk. It's more noticeable in The Wacky World of Mother Goose, but that's a different story.
I’m watching all of these a second time because Bob keeps dropping some serious gold in the scripts here and I keep wondering about lines I’ve missed. This is what you get when a talented creator gets to talk about something with genuine interest and passion.
Completely shocked that Don Bluth didn't work on this picture, clearly some inspiration taken from his animation style in the goofier parts of the film. Mother Nature's rhumba moves particularly stood out as having that Don Bluth flavor.
Man, I’m so used to how stuff Filmation’s TV shows look, seeing a movie by them with genuinely fluid animation is actually surprising, jaw-dropping even. It doesn’t seem like that good of a movie, but I’m now curious enough to want to check it out for myself!
Love this approach. Slightly behind the scenes film history combined with comparisons to modern contexts along with an examination of the film itself is classic movie Bob and I am here for it.
I love these 3 shows. This is peak Moviebob right here. A little movie history, some current events, a bit of a shot by shot review and a sizzle reel of the good stuff. Do more of this, Bob
One of my favorite movies is I Love You Maria. And I wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for your The Big Picture episode about Robocop. It's pretty damn cool seeing a whole series dedicated on obscure movies. Here's hoping another one of your fans find their next hidden gem with this series. Thanks for the content!
WHAT?! SNOW WHITE SAVES THE PRINCE!? THAT'S . . . that's . . . That's actually more like a fair handful of actual fairy tales that I've read. How is that the case? Well, the popular fairy tale canon was formed in the Victorian Era and reflects the values of the time and then as familiarity and "classics" took over people stopped looking for new stories and eventually started reimagining the ones everyone knew. Even the scope of it all is very Victorian. You've got a jumble of German, French and English stories, some stories from a sentimental Danish writer (looking at you, Andersen), a bunch of Arabian Nights stuff that became popular because of Orientalism and, inexplicably, one Norwegian story (the one with the billy goats).
Hot take that, even though “Snow White” is a fairly basic story on a plot level, there is a lot you can do with it if you get creative. Like, when you get right down to it, it’s basically a story all about generational conflict between a young woman who finds her place amongst a group of implicitly working class minority characters and an older female ruler who considers herself above the rest of humanity and is implied (in the Disney version, at least) to have clawed her way to power through tricks and alchemy. You could even do an ending where she and the Prince stay with the Dwarves because they fit in better with this good, loving found family than in the cutthroat royal courts that helped turn the Evil Queen into what she became.
I remember my mom and sister rented this out of sheer curiosity, and the best parts were the Hollywood legends riffing off each other and a joke where Critterina is translating for a pack of wolves and they "mentioned something about dwarfels and dessert." On a lighter note, I will now be using, "THAT'S CHEKOV'S ENTRANCE MUSIC, AND HE'S GOT A GUN!" whenever and wherever I can.
@@DFloyd84 Secret Galaxy is a great channel. Since it started as Toy Galaxy, emphasizing uniquely popular and/or long-running toy based franchises that also have cartoons, animated projects, comic books, and major theatrical films, I doubt the channel would be interested in covering Lassie's Rescue Rangers and Gillian's Planet. At best, Secret Galaxy might mention them as part of an overall discussion about the Filmation company or obscure cartoons based on celebrities. MovieBob, on the other hand, seems like the kind of guy that would happily chat for 8 minutes or more about the Dick Tracy segments of Archie's TV Funnies or The Phantom Tollbooth movie.
I actually rented this film when I was a little kid, though I'm pretty sure it never registered in my mind that it was supposed to be a Snow White sequel. I mostly remembered the prince getting transformed in creepy man. Also, funny how the bad guy in this films is an evil wizard who transforms in a winged beast, and that would be the exact same antagonist as the one from the first Swan Princess film, except Malice turned into a Wyvern-like beast, while the guy from the Swan Princess turned into a giant bat monster!
it'd be amazing if he could review this movie as one of those, if only this got made or something. from a quick search, I didn't see anything pop up for this. I'm assuming the info about the plan for this film probably came from the book Creating the Filmation Generation. (2012) There's a copy available on Archive if you want to give it a go. But other than that I'm not sure where moviebob saw this listed as a source. But I agree I'd love to see this.
Honestly, all three of these have been great. I've always loved your "retro film review with proper context" videos and these have been no exception. Feel free to keep this one going, I think you have a winner. (I'm just going to copy/paste this on all three for the algo.)
I'm extremely here for this series. I know it's a necessary byproduct of youtube's inhuman copyright protection but I don't know if "You just passed through a Splatoon Splattercolour Screen" filtered over all the audio and video is an aesthetic I can bear.
Nice! Really looking forward to Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night, which is my personal "was it a fever dream?" movie that I randomly stumbled upon halfway through as a child while at a cousin's home :D
commenting here after having watched all three, I genuinely can't rightfully say which one of these I liked best, though I gotta say I am absolutely enamored with the concept and format. kinda like an extended, year-round schlocktober, but with a more widely dispersed net over what kinda movies you're talking about? yes please! that being said, just on a purely informational/point of interest level, I probably thought the "The Crusades" episode was the best for it's highlighting for the tremendously progressive for its time depiction of muslims and how that reverberates with the themes of the overall movie in spite of the quite basic and hamfisted "white woman abduction" plot. I always dig it when you highlight stuff like that via insightful social commentary. here's hoping that this series works out and becomes a success. all fingers crossed!
Bob, I always loved all your work and this looks like a great mixture of Schlocktober with The Big Picture. Keep them coming. I'll will post the same comment on the 3 videos because I want all of them to have engagement, but I'm not very creative🤣
You know, I ended up unfollowing this channel a couple of years ago. Every video at the time was absolutely dripping with anger and frustration about current events of the day, and I think that emotion was both fully justified and fair to put out- after all this is your youtube channel, Bob, you can (and should) say whatever you want in this space. But it was a lot of doom for me, in a time when I already felt bent double by doom... ...but this video... this is nice. It's got a calm, level-headed look at something niche and odd and not good maybe but also not *bad* in some ways. Just an interesting thing to show people. I think I'll check out another couple of your recent videos, maybe this is a nice time to be had on the internet again.
Having watched all three, I'm loving the concept of the show and how diverse a pool you're able to pull from, and enjoyed the overall presentation of all three. It's like an expanded Schlocktober :) That said, like Schlocktober, you're still letting clips run long after you've made your point. *Generally*, longer than 10 seconds and you've killed the flow. Baby-Strom's song was a case-in-point: 2 bars was more than enough. We also only needed the title-card from Passion 2 to get the reference. Playing more was like explaining the gag to an audience you assumed didn't get it.
I remember this movie bc they promoted free previews before the movie came out in theaters. I love the Pinocchio movie. From Filmation, I still have my Blackstar and Bravestarr action figures. They would be considered woke nowadays.
The "Schlocktober" schtick never really landed with me. I'd always preferred literally all of your other shows to that format because it felt like a heavily truncated version of "UA-camr lightly riffs thing on surface level, nothing has been learnt". That said, this feels like it actually has potential. You went far more in-depth than typical and spoke about specifics regarding production, and some of the strange things about the film that made it noteworthy compared to its contemporaries, particularly the behind the scenes information. However, I felt it was held back by multiple areas of padding. A small example of that was the examples of Filmation's output shown between 2:55-3:35. Clips from 8 separate shows were played when 3 would have been sufficient. Moments of padding not dissimilar to this are present through the length of the video. It makes it feel bloated in a way that can't be danced around. Where some videos add bloat by inflating the script with additional dialogue it can potentially give an illusion of depth, when its just back-to-back clips then even that "feeling" can't be present. Maybe Bob added the clips because he genuinely found them amusing, but it didn't have that effect. It feels like struggling to reach an increased runtime because the algorithm is awful. I'd prefer quantity over quantity. Bob is better than the hacks on this website who will make a 3 hour video where they simply narrate every single moment of a movie/series and tell me nothing of note except maybe 5 minutes total of their vague, shallow political opinions sprinkled throughout, like the world's shittiest salt. Despite my criticisms, I'll reiterate that I enjoyed the video and I'm hopeful for the future. I just hope that the coming videos are tighter productions and continue to focus more on what makes the movies unique, rather than being weak narrative play-by-plays. I can get the latter anywhere, the former I cannot.
My younger brother was obsessed with this film. Played it until the video tape wore out. It took years before some of the songs finally stopped living in my head.
I just found out about this movie literally days ago because another reviewer covered it, it's a great coincidence that I get to watch two great videos on this weird movie
Saw this once and never put much more thought into it. I think Filmation is pretty underrated studio honestly. Still really loved their run on shows like Black Star and Brave Star. They're character designs are really solid and you can tell the animators came with very solid backgrounds in the field when they were allowed to flex their stuff. I'd love too see some of the concept art for some of the projects that didn't get past the concept stage. Their made for TV movie version of Flash Gordon was really good and at the time of this posting can still be found on youtube. That said, Fun show Bob and I look forward too watching your other episodes!
I remember this movie. Always thought it was one of the bad Disney sequels until the internet made it easy to search for, then thought maybe I imagined the whole thing. Two reviewers covering Filmnation's weird theatrical releases in one week - good for my nostalgia!
@@mabusestestament Its not like if one person reviews a thing they have sole rights to reviews on it forever. And at this point in time, who cares what the Nostalgia Critic has or hasn't done?
@@robbybevard8034 Yeah the previous replier pretty much already said that 🙂 I’m not saying Bob can’t, obviously. But it appears to me that the reason for this new “This movie exists” series is for Bob to introduce movies that have a really big chance his viewers don’t know exist, that’s part of the fun. And if the Nostalgia Critic already did it chances are bigger that they do know and that in part defeats the purpose. “This movie exists”, -“Yes I know.” 🙂
@@mabusestestament I agree. The Titanic movies are probably too well-known to really fit in here. And it's not just NC, I've seen them pop up on a few retro-media channels I follow.
16:55 HOLY SHIT! Was that, like, a real episode of the Super Friends? Where the writers actually hung a lampshade on the "Aquaman is useless" bit that straight-up included Wonder Women making a face like "Why the fuck are you even on this team?"??? XD
Whoa, who, whoa!!! You can't just show the villain from the Pinocchio movie at 6:59 and not explain that!! That looks awesome!! Also, I liked this one and the Crusades ones the most. The Ginger one was good too. Keep up the good work.

13:00 Huh... Nami's backstory sure got weird. (sorry) But yeah, the shame is that this might have done OK in 1988. I mean, The Care Bears Movie beat The Black Cauldron at the box office just a couple years earlier. There was still a market for mid-budget feature animation. But releasing it into a world where the Disney Renaissance was in full swing? It was doomed.
This is a great, back to basic kind of moviebob content that I love. Interesting history, facts, and analysis done in an entertaining way. Love it. (also, hoping for more really that good in the future)
New memory unlocked! I remember watching this at my grandparent's house when I was very young. So many of these scenes are coming back to me now. Even though it's not a good movie, I think I have to go back and watch it now just for the nostalgia trip.
This is a really fun idea and i hope you get to keep doing it. Also if youre asking for input the "howd id fix" series is my favorite and id love to see that make some kind of comeback
GREAT. Even I didn't jknow about this film (and I work buying catalogue movies for pay tv!) It's an amazing format. It's interesting, surprising, well researched, entertaining... AMAZING JOB.
I forgot this was one of my favorite movies as a tiny child until this video came out. Thank you for opening that dusty backroom drawer in the warehouse of my memory Bob!

Oh, the cast for this movie is like someone went to a Dean Martin roast and grabbed everyone in it.
The “throwing your head back and laughing” thing must be a Filmation staple.

More like Chipettes

Every video at the time was absolutely dripping with anger and frustration about current events of the day, and I think that emotion was both fully justified and fair to put out- after all this is your youtube channel, Bob, you can (and should) say whatever you want in this space. But it was a lot of doom for me, in a time when I already felt bent double by doom...
...but this video... this is nice. It's got a calm, level-headed look at something niche and odd and not good maybe but also not *bad* in some ways. Just an interesting thing to show people. I think I'll check out another couple of your recent videos, maybe this is a nice time to be had on the internet again.
I had this on VHS as a kid and watched it all the time.
Just watched all three pilots, I really think these are the kind of video you’ve always excelled at making and I’m looking forward to seeing more!
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Many years ago, I hunted down a DVD copy so I could show my wife.
So cool that you covered this film.
Having watched all three, I'm loving the concept of the show and how diverse a pool you're able to pull from, and enjoyed the overall presentation of all three. It's like an expanded Schlocktober :)
That said, like Schlocktober, you're still letting clips run long after you've made your point. *Generally*, longer than 10 seconds and you've killed the flow. Baby-Strom's song was a case-in-point: 2 bars was more than enough. We also only needed the title-card from Passion 2 to get the reference. Playing more was like explaining the gag to an audience you assumed didn't get it.
Fantastic work as always Bob. I'm here for pretty much anything you want to do on your channel because I know it will be good and interesting.
This is the type of content I love. Weird movie history is awseom!
OMG I GREW UP ON THIS MOVIE. I would never have remembered it if you hadn't reminded me it EXISTED. Thank you!!!
I remembered it litterally tonight and then immediately got reccomended this video
I really like this format!! I think this is really interesting!!
I remember watching this when I was a kid. I used to rent this many times, actually when Hollywood Video was in business.
I remember this movie bc they promoted free previews before the movie came out in theaters. I love the Pinocchio movie.
From Filmation, I still have my Blackstar and Bravestarr action figures. They would be considered woke nowadays.
I saw this movie as a kid, and OMG, I thought they said "dwarf-elves," not "dwarfelles."
Filmation DID a Snowwhite Movie a Decade Prior, but their 7 Friendly Giants, & the Title Character is actually her Daughter.
That was the TV special, 'A Snow White Christmas', which originally aired on CBS.
Was it called Rose Red and the Seven Giants?
@@miguelvelez7221 No, it was called 'A Snow White Christmas'. ua-cam.com/video/A5kActEfX1k/v-deo.html
Random capitalization, but ok
Thanks for giving the animators' efforts and character designs kudos!
Love it Bob, great stuff 🙂
thanks for this new series.
The "Schlocktober" schtick never really landed with me. I'd always preferred literally all of your other shows to that format because it felt like a heavily truncated version of "UA-camr lightly riffs thing on surface level, nothing has been learnt".
That said, this feels like it actually has potential. You went far more in-depth than typical and spoke about specifics regarding production, and some of the strange things about the film that made it noteworthy compared to its contemporaries, particularly the behind the scenes information. However, I felt it was held back by multiple areas of padding. A small example of that was the examples of Filmation's output shown between 2:55-3:35. Clips from 8 separate shows were played when 3 would have been sufficient. Moments of padding not dissimilar to this are present through the length of the video. It makes it feel bloated in a way that can't be danced around. Where some videos add bloat by inflating the script with additional dialogue it can potentially give an illusion of depth, when its just back-to-back clips then even that "feeling" can't be present. Maybe Bob added the clips because he genuinely found them amusing, but it didn't have that effect. It feels like struggling to reach an increased runtime because the algorithm is awful. I'd prefer quantity over quantity. Bob is better than the hacks on this website who will make a 3 hour video where they simply narrate every single moment of a movie/series and tell me nothing of note except maybe 5 minutes total of their vague, shallow political opinions sprinkled throughout, like the world's shittiest salt.
Despite my criticisms, I'll reiterate that I enjoyed the video and I'm hopeful for the future. I just hope that the coming videos are tighter productions and continue to focus more on what makes the movies unique, rather than being weak narrative play-by-plays. I can get the latter anywhere, the former I cannot.
Agreed. There are dozens of people summarizing bargain-bin Disney knockoffs on this platform. It's not what I subscribed to Bob for
My younger brother was obsessed with this film. Played it until the video tape wore out. It took years before some of the songs finally stopped living in my head.
I just found out about this movie literally days ago because another reviewer covered it, it's a great coincidence that I get to watch two great videos on this weird movie
Saw this once and never put much more thought into it. I think Filmation is pretty underrated studio honestly. Still really loved their run on shows like Black Star and Brave Star. They're character designs are really solid and you can tell the animators came with very solid backgrounds in the field when they were allowed to flex their stuff. I'd love too see some of the concept art for some of the projects that didn't get past the concept stage. Their made for TV movie version of Flash Gordon was really good and at the time of this posting can still be found on youtube. That said, Fun show Bob and I look forward too watching your other episodes!
I kid you not, this movie just recently resurfaced in my memory in the last couple weeks for no apparent reason. I remember it... almost fondly.
I remember this movie. Always thought it was one of the bad Disney sequels until the internet made it easy to search for, then thought maybe I imagined the whole thing. Two reviewers covering Filmnation's weird theatrical releases in one week - good for my nostalgia!
Good work man, so happy to see you back in your element. Keep the momentum going 👍
I remember renting this movie as a kid from the indi movie rental shop. I think we thought it was an official sequel.
I'm sure that the animated "Titanic" movies will show up in this series at some point.
Didn’t the Nostalgia Critic already do those?
@@mabusestestament Probably, but you can give your take on it.
@@mabusestestament Its not like if one person reviews a thing they have sole rights to reviews on it forever.
And at this point in time, who cares what the Nostalgia Critic has or hasn't done?
@@robbybevard8034
Yeah the previous replier pretty much already said that 🙂
I’m not saying Bob can’t, obviously. But it appears to me that the reason for this new “This movie exists” series is for Bob to introduce movies that have a really big chance his viewers don’t know exist, that’s part of the fun. And if the Nostalgia Critic already did it chances are bigger that they do know and that in part defeats the purpose. “This movie exists”, -“Yes I know.” 🙂
@@mabusestestament I agree. The Titanic movies are probably too well-known to really fit in here. And it's not just NC, I've seen them pop up on a few retro-media channels I follow.
16:55
HOLY SHIT! Was that, like, a real episode of the Super Friends? Where the writers actually hung a lampshade on the "Aquaman is useless" bit that straight-up included Wonder Women making a face like "Why the fuck are you even on this team?"??? XD
No, that was from a Cartoon Network Bumper. The Power Puff Girls Showed up to save them.
Whoa, who, whoa!!! You can't just show the villain from the Pinocchio movie at 6:59 and not explain that!! That looks awesome!! Also, I liked this one and the Crusades ones the most. The Ginger one was good too. Keep up the good work.
Also, I love the intercut jokes of other media you choose. It's 'chef's kiss'

I honestly love all of the moviebob videos.
Love the new format!
NGL, I liked the prince’s Orko cosplay better than his regular look.
The people that hate wokeness crumble once you ask what "woke" means 😂😂😂
Feels like old school big picture so im in! Keep it up, brother
Looking forward to more of these!
A really interesting trio of premiere episodes! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to more.
13:00 Huh... Nami's backstory sure got weird. (sorry) But yeah, the shame is that this might have done OK in 1988. I mean, The Care Bears Movie beat The Black Cauldron at the box office just a couple years earlier. There was still a market for mid-budget feature animation. But releasing it into a world where the Disney Renaissance was in full swing? It was doomed.
Hey Bob. Are you okay with me making a playlist out of these? I'd like to listen to them while I'm working.
I love obscure movies like this .
This is a great, back to basic kind of moviebob content that I love. Interesting history, facts, and analysis done in an entertaining way. Love it. (also, hoping for more really that good in the future)
New memory unlocked! I remember watching this at my grandparent's house when I was very young. So many of these scenes are coming back to me now. Even though it's not a good movie, I think I have to go back and watch it now just for the nostalgia trip.
You had me at “Bottom Text”!
Would love it in the future if you could tack on a “where to find this” section on the back end of these videos.
Looking forward to adding more weird things to my movie watch list.
I wanna check this one out!
This is a really fun idea and i hope you get to keep doing it.
Also if youre asking for input the "howd id fix" series is my favorite and id love to see that make some kind of comeback
I'm glad you keep doing videos about the history of weird things that really happened.
Watched this movie once. Never again. Great video.
Loving it. I'll be here for all of these 🚂🚃💜💜
GREAT. Even I didn't jknow about this film (and I work buying catalogue movies for pay tv!) It's an amazing format. It's interesting, surprising, well researched, entertaining... AMAZING JOB.
I forgot this was one of my favorite movies as a tiny child until this video came out. Thank you for opening that dusty backroom drawer in the warehouse of my memory Bob!
An excellent premiere to a new series. Congratulations, Bob!
I watched all three episodes and enjoyed them all! Great work!
I was worried when I saw the thumbnail but this is still the Moviebob I like.
The villain seems more like Maleficent's brother turning into a dragon and all.
Things that I missed. Thanks Moviebob. 😎
Love this new format
