This depiction of the man in the red sweater also vaguely reminds me of that one big-chinned villain from Ferngully 2, mixed with Daniel Boone from the “Frontier Slappy” Animaniacs episode, if he was also cosplaying for Barry Burton from Resident Evil.
You should hear the kid in the danish dubbing of the Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog christmas special. He sounds like someone in his 30's. I mean, I can do a better kids voice and I'm 32 for heavens sake!
ladydiskette Did I mention that Blye Migicovsky's Call of the Wild came out in *2002?* Though, it's still better than the 2000's era Golden Films animated movies like Miracle in Toyland.
AmishParadise27 (AKA: Tyler) I think that was the case for pretty much all the Blye Migicovsky animated films GoodTimes distributed. Even though the kids could barely put any emotion in their delivery...
If Jack London loved writing dog stories, Yoshihiro Takahashi must be obsessed with writing them since it’s literally what 90% of his mangas are about. XD
*Father dies in the snow and a big glowing Pierre Gringoire appears in the sky* “We will avenge you my friend!” *Runs off with the kid and leaves the dad’s corpse behind*
I love how after watching Phelous for long enough, we're able to predict the running gags before they happen. I found myself saying, "It wasn't _that_ funny" before Venkman even popped up at 5:14.
The only sort-of explanation I can think of is that maybe they were from lower class families/areas and are happy that a pampered dog from a rich family is now in the same boat as them and brought down to their level. It’s the only guess I got.
Dark stories can be adapted for the kids and done so while keeping close to the source material. "Wishbone" was proof of this. I mean he covered "Faust," "The Count of Monte Cristo," "Frankenstein" and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." If I remember correctly, they did cover the main points of the story and themes, with a lot of the humor coming from the bizarre scenarios that inspired these trips into literature and just how light hearted they felt in contrast. E.G. A teacher performs in secret at a local pizza place? Let's tell the story of Mr. Hyde. A wacky robot is on the loose? Let's tell the kids about Frankenstein.
How the feck did Wishbone cover a story about a man selling his soul to the devil? I can think of work arounds for the others where you just remove the violence and stuff, but that seems like something that would cause a huff.
Well he did it, the "real life" scenario centered around his owner being offered a VR system in return for Wishbone by a traveling salesman who wanted him to be his mascot. Really the only episode that caused a huff I remember was "Imaginary Invalid" where it was banned because parents were afraid that health warnings, allergy scares, etc. would not be taken seriously.
There's a Blye Migicovsky Productions movie of The Count of Monter Cristo. It's very sugarcoated. Dantes' assistant is an anthropomorphic cat instead of a human. But Dantes' design... He looks like if Samuel was creepy with John.

This movie makes Hanna Barbera look like Disney in comparision. All those weird shapes and garish colors makes it look even worse than Dingo Pictures cartoons. At least whoever drew the Dingo pictures animations knew what color trees are.
As soon as they daid "folloe your heart" I was like "if Phelous doesn't insert the clip of Mike from Coming Out of Our Shells I will be very disappointed" I was not disappointed
Sooo, the dog is gonna rip some throats out like in the book, becoming the leader of a pack of wolves and terror of the Indians after his owner is killed? Didn’t think so.
I always kind of find it funny how Native American Spirits seem to be a lot more helpful to White people then they were to the actual Native Americans. Maybe the part of history they don't tell you is that the Native Americans used to be Ancient Captain Planet Villains.
Lessons GoodTimes has taught me: Hunchbacks are magic. People with dark circles under their eyes, black hair, or bad facial hair are evil. Angels exist and can interact with our world, but only to help obnoxious white kids or save Christmas for some stupid town. Children going off into dangerous environments is perfectly fine, as is leaving them alone for long periods of time. Death is something that can easily be overcome and should not be dwelt upon when it happens. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go become the villain the dark circles under my eyes indicate I am.
Oh boy, Call of the Wild! It was my childhood! Not the book tho, but an anime adaptation. The dogs didn't talk in it at all and there was quite a lot of narration. It wasn't a perfect adaptation but there was certainly more death and violence, including the murder of the one nice guy Buck had after being stolen. And there wasn't some female wolf to make him want to join the wolves. God forbid someone wanting to change their life for any other reason than getting some tail.
I find it funny that that was what passed for 'unnatural' back then, but when I read it I thought it was one of the most realistic depections of animals I had ever read.
My theory is that the spirit that appeared to John, was actually a hallucination after he was killed on a cliff and the rest of the movie is his dying dream, as he dies in the snow... SO NO-ONE TOLD YOU LIFE WAS GONNA BE THIS WAY! CLAP CLAP!
Alina Nikulina I know! Who would watch a show with a main character THAT overpowered in it?! _(Hides his TV, which is currently on the Netflix page for One-Punch Man...)_
I know, right? And what's with all the purple dogs all of a sudden? There weren't any purple dogs in the book! Goodtimes pushing their diversity agenda again. Let's face it guys, Jack London is dead... Wait a minute.
I like how at the family dinner scene, Buck gets a hearty, luxury buffet on a full silver dish set, while everyone else gets bran-mush on paper plates.
Swells Wells Jack Nicholson Dog: WHEN I SAY WHOA, I MEAN WHOA!!! (Hits Senor Mustache who yells in pain) Cinema Snob: Jack Nicholson Dog does a fine Yosemite Sam.
The ten million dollar question is, which will Phelous run out first: lackluster rip-off cartoons, bootleg toys, Ghostbuster merchandise or bad horror movies?
drunkrdm By “beast of burden” they meant the beast himself is the burden. In other words he’s an inconvenience to those around him. They wanted to prove that he had some kind of worth.
"So the fights are gonna be hard for Buck, right? I mean, he's just a dog and he's going up against a human, a wolf, and a dog twice his strength." "Nah, it's gonna be super easy. Barely an inconvenience."
So... Whats next in the Jack London Goodtimes library? "To build a fire" with an evil magical snowman, or "The Law of Life" with Old Koskoosh and his singing bundle of sticks?
Honestly I have no idea what your objection is about. Strollers and Wheelchairs existed in the 1800s. Now to admit it was an odd design, especially the handles and the wheels (though rubber and Rubber wheels existed in 1897)... But there isn't anything I can see to suggest it is made of plastic other than being an anachronistic design.
So a kids version of Call of the Wild? I'm calling it now, we don't get a scene where Buck attacks a village of Native American's to avenge a friend's death. Well it is Goodtimes, what the hell am I thinking?
Call of the Wild, White Fang, Moby Dick, Black Beauty, all have been reimagined as cutesy kids cartoons. If only Marquise de Sade had thought of including a dog or horse or some other animal in his works Goodtimes probably would have made an adaption of that too.
It was a hunting camp. And according to the epilogue the Indians still don’t dare go to that area because a huge grey dog at the top of a wolfpack (cough) kills everyone who does. *A faaaamily picture*
Can you imagine if these companies got their hands of “Game of Thrones” and decided to create their own endings/additions/sanitizations to the story, like Hodor sprouting wings at the last moment to safely carry Bran away from the Wights, Ghost defeating the Night King with a single pounce, Ramsay’s assault on Sansa being portrayed with a cartoon whisking away, the Ironborn’s drowned god turning out to be Old Man, etc.?
Ok, we KNOW Goodtimes "Staff" have no original or creative ideas, hence why they just steal Disney's idea of adapting old stories _(But forgetting to put the fresh and new take on it, naturally)_ but 1.) Why stories like this noone (or at least comparatively few people) knows about? 2.) Why stories Disney hasn't made movies about? If they're soulless and unoriginal, you'd think they'd at least have the good sense to be marketing wizards. Apparently I was wrong.
Hey Phelous i found you through nostalgia Critic but i just wanted to say, You have quickly become one of my favorite reviewers. Currently you're a nightly watch (several episodes a night till i catch up)
I'm from Russia, Siberia. The "Call of the Wild" was one of my favorite composition, in a childhood times. Suddenly, yesterday, I've betinked about this composition. What I've seen in your review is a complete destruction of my good memorials. They've ruined the plot and everything. I'm just "under a cloud" after watching what they've done with my favorite story. I agree with you and your verdict about that cartoon. Thanks for your videos, We see it with pleasure.
It's the poor man's WEEDON SCOTT Pink Mounties! This is what the people complaining about Trudeau see in their nightmares 12:25 WHAT EVEN IS THIS The moment Mushufasa said "follow your heart" I knew what clip was coming next...
Please do a theme month like Hunchback, Anastasia, and I THINK what you've been doing with these northern dog movies, and do The Ten Commandments/Prince of Egypt! 1. UAV's Moses: Egypt's Great Prince 2. Either Goodtimes' Ten Commandments or Golden Films' Tale of Egypt 3. Dingo's Prince of Egypt
MforMovesets Luckily I am semi-trustworthy guy who is semi-trustworthy and I love living things. But I also love money bags sometimes. In fact I believe that untrustworthy guy might be the guy from the wanted poster in dingo Balto.
So... who'd be up for a Goodtimes-y animated children's cartoon adaptation of "A Song of Ice and Fire"? Seeing how well these happy stories translate into family-friendly entertainment I bet that'd be a hoot! ...shit, I jinxed it.
Actually, I heard that there were two versions of that short story by Jack London. In the earlier 1902 version, the man supposedly suffers from frostbite but gets rescued before he can die, allowing him to become “sadder but wiser”. It was not until the more well-known version later, that the protagonists ends up freezing to death. +Tommy Deonauth's Archives I remember being assigned to read it in School many years ago, right before we would then read “The Call of the Wild.” I recall it being about a traveler that ignores the advice of the Old Timers and goes out in the Alaskan wilderness at the height of winter. He gets caught in the cold storm and needs to build a fire. It is about his struggle against nature, how his inexperience and increasing desperation leads to him making mistakes (like finally setting his fire, but underneath a tree with lots of snow in its branches), how a canine animal acts as it follows him around, and his mindset progresses as he starts staring death in the face and becoming more accepting of it.
21:26 .... wait... The ship is named Narwhal! No joke, my dad used to own a boat named Narwal (wich is the dutch spelling of Narwhal), and i came up with that name. Never saw this film. What a coincidence. Now i'm scared my dog will murder someone :(
Lol, "So the dogs were in the hands of the mean-spirited Burton". All I can picture is him yelling at them "You have to be more careful, you were almost a dog sandwich!"
If the dog can prove he's more than just a beast of burden, he can escape being put down. So the challenge they give him to prove this is... pulling a REALLY heavy burden... Okay.
Fantastic review! Woof was clearly the best character. John’s mom is going to be quite surprised with her new house guest and her soon to be new husband! Truly whacky! Definitely appreciate Old Man’s cameo!
I just love this. I have this whole set of DVD my mom bought for my children and I'm looking them up. Your videos are top Google results almost every time.
This is legit the darkest book I've ever read. (Not gonna spoil anything, though, just know that a lot of death is involved) Just making it all kid-friendly is still pretty insulting, though.
Has $200 to bid on a dog, yet not have enough to pay for his daughter's operation in 1897?
Yeah, this dad has his priorities straight.
Zinervawyrm He hid his diamonds that were his life savings in a cave but forgot about them.
Otakun The vegan My God!
In reality, at that time, the dog could have gone for about $5-$10. Tops.
@GM3210
I never thought about the fact he could afford the trip in the first place.
That's definitely very selfish of that father to put a dog before his own daughter. Maybe him dying wasn't a bad thing after all...

@Mullerornis that’s a pretty good theory
Lessons GoodTimes has taught me:
Hunchbacks are magic.
People with dark circles under their eyes, black hair, or bad facial hair are evil.
Angels exist and can interact with our world, but only to help obnoxious white kids or save Christmas for some stupid town.
Children going off into dangerous environments is perfectly fine, as is leaving them alone for long periods of time.
Death is something that can easily be overcome and should not be dwelt upon when it happens.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go become the villain the dark circles under my eyes indicate I am.
Don't forget how anything that gets wet is automatically useless and picking a rose is the worst thing you can possibly do.
Spacewizard Dragonpuncher
If you're referring to The Secret of The Hunchback, then that's a UAV Corporation movie, not a GoodTimes released film.
Greatsaiyakirby and you'll be an terrible father if you marry an evil looking person.
GoodTimes released several Hunchback movies, as I recall.
Although, I suppose the UAV one was the only one where he was literally magic.
Truly an emotional story full of epic battles, a great love interest for Buck, and a believable reaction to a loved one’s death.

12:21 "Yo son, listen well because I am going to say it only once: we have the best deals on second-hand Firebirds. Go North and make sure to ask Al."
15:50 I'll bet two money bags.
HEEEEEEE-EEEEEEE
Anyone else kinda want to see an actual Jack Nicholson animated dog?
I can see it now, the spin-off to "Rover Dangerfield" that God never intended to happen, "Jack Russell Nicholson" :P

The ten million dollar question is, which will Phelous run out first: lackluster rip-off cartoons, bootleg toys, Ghostbuster merchandise or bad horror movies?
Answer: none
Caarajack Is there a doll line based on Nickelodeon's Victorious?
Tommy Deonauth's Archives why the question?
Juan D'Marco Just thinking of an idea for Miraculous Merchandise Zone...
Mockbuster animations because these companies went put of business long ago
1:02 So accusations of making animal characters anthropomorphic when they are not suppose to be have been around since the 19th century.
I'll never let you go.
1 second later....
Maybe It's time to let Buck go.
*One second later*
John: You're free now.
Are we sure Phelous isn't secretly Goodtimes and just making all these movies himself so he can review them?
Oh, you're right! The Absolute MAD LAD!
Imagine if he works for them and they pay him to sponsor them :0
Tadicuslegion78 I'd like to believe that but my experience tells me that " when it's too to good to be true..."
You've cracked the code!
XD that's the best thing I've heard all week!!
so they need too prove the dog is more then a "beast of burden" by having him do something a "beast of burden" is supposed to do.... kay >.>
1,000 pounds is _hardly_ a burden.
1,001 ...maybe.
"Let us prove that this creature is not just a beast of burden by having it perform as an especially effective beast of burden."
drunkrdm By “beast of burden” they meant the beast himself is the burden. In other words he’s an inconvenience to those around him. They wanted to prove that he had some kind of worth.
@@dancepiglover Wouldn't that be a burdensome beast?
A Main character who can destroy his opponents, no matter how strong they are, in one hit?
_Get Real! That'll never catch on..._
Unless they're bull terriers.
What Sonichu what
Old man: stupid Dog 13:36
I keep expecting this Buck to run into Eek the Cat and Sharky the Sharkdog.
Oddly enough THAT would have made this movie A LOT better! XD
15:39 - Buck is "more than a simple beast of burden" because he will perform an act that... a beast of burden could do.
"So the fights are gonna be hard for Buck, right? I mean, he's just a dog and he's going up against a human, a wolf, and a dog twice his strength."
"Nah, it's gonna be super easy. Barely an inconvenience."
I remember this one. I saw it in a waiting room at a hospital when I had a bad ear infection.
Chocobo0Scribe You can associate pain with watching this movie then!
This was one of your funniest reviews yet. Almost every joke had me laugh out loud. Keep it up, Phelous.
So... Whats next in the Jack London Goodtimes library?
"To build a fire" with an evil magical snowman, or "The Law of Life" with Old Koskoosh and his singing bundle of sticks?
The mother had a stroller, even though plastic didn't exist in 1897.
Bet trees weren't pink either in 1897.
Honestly I have no idea what your objection is about. Strollers and Wheelchairs existed in the 1800s. Now to admit it was an odd design, especially the handles and the wheels (though rubber and Rubber wheels existed in 1897)... But there isn't anything I can see to suggest it is made of plastic other than being an anachronistic design.
It could've been celluloid which existed in the 1860s and 70s
That's Carlos (RE3 voice) doing Buck's voice. :D
So a kids version of Call of the Wild? I'm calling it now, we don't get a scene where Buck attacks a village of Native American's to avenge a friend's death.
Well it is Goodtimes, what the hell am I thinking?
stlouisrocker100 Dingo wouldn’t be afraid to do that shit!
Pfft, we apparently can’t even get Spitz dieing. XD
Call of the Wild, White Fang, Moby Dick, Black Beauty, all have been reimagined as cutesy kids cartoons. If only Marquise de Sade had thought of including a dog or horse or some other animal in his works Goodtimes probably would have made an adaption of that too.
It was a hunting camp.
And according to the epilogue the Indians still don’t dare go to that area because a huge grey dog at the top of a wolfpack (cough) kills everyone who does.
*A faaaamily picture*
Can you imagine if these companies got their hands of “Game of Thrones” and decided to create their own endings/additions/sanitizations to the story, like Hodor sprouting wings at the last moment to safely carry Bran away from the Wights, Ghost defeating the Night King with a single pounce, Ramsay’s assault on Sansa being portrayed with a cartoon whisking away, the Ironborn’s drowned god turning out to be Old Man, etc.?
Best ep of One Pounce Dog ever!
Please do Adventures of Young Moby Dick. It's the only Good Times movie I've seen and even as a kid I thought it was hella weird.
Ok, we KNOW Goodtimes "Staff" have no original or creative ideas, hence why they just steal Disney's idea of adapting old stories _(But forgetting to put the fresh and new take on it, naturally)_ but
1.) Why stories like this noone (or at least comparatively few people) knows about?
2.) Why stories Disney hasn't made movies about?
If they're soulless and unoriginal, you'd think they'd at least have the good sense to be marketing wizards.
Apparently I was wrong.
Because they want money
ouh That's kind of my question - they obviously ONLY care about money.
Why are they so bad at making it?
King Edward "Longshanks" I, Hammer of the Scots, Lord of Wales and King of England feed these shitty films to the wolves.
Call of the Wild is fairly well known.
Go read a book
I need to do that too, after all.
Wait why is there a random Native American Eagle spirit?
Because the writers are idiots!
IAmTheUnison ok🤔
The art of the ass pull. A trick all lazy writers use.
The Spirit of the Hawk
Hey Phelous i found you through nostalgia Critic but i just wanted to say, You have quickly become one of my favorite reviewers. Currently you're a nightly watch (several episodes a night till i catch up)
Thanks!
I'm from Russia, Siberia. The "Call of the Wild" was one of my favorite composition, in a childhood times. Suddenly, yesterday, I've betinked about this composition. What I've seen in your review is a complete destruction of my good memorials. They've ruined the plot and everything. I'm just "under a cloud" after watching what they've done with my favorite story. I agree with you and your verdict about that cartoon. Thanks for your videos, We see it with pleasure.
They did White Fang AND Call of the Wild?!
WHY
The animation is bad even by Good Times standards
It's the poor man's WEEDON SCOTT
Pink Mounties! This is what the people complaining about Trudeau see in their nightmares
12:25 WHAT EVEN IS THIS
The moment Mushufasa said "follow your heart" I knew what clip was coming next...
Kid friendly Landon? What's next? A kids version of Kneel to The Rising Sun? õÕ
I'm looking forward to the Goodtimes Shadow Over Innsmouth
+Tareltonlives "Call of Cthulhu: The Animated Musical"! XD
Phelous is probably the best scholar of bad animated movies ever
Please do a theme month like Hunchback, Anastasia, and I THINK what you've been doing with these northern dog movies, and do The Ten Commandments/Prince of Egypt!
1. UAV's Moses: Egypt's Great Prince
2. Either Goodtimes' Ten Commandments or Golden Films' Tale of Egypt
3. Dingo's Prince of Egypt
OH BOY!
TIME FOR GOOD OLD, OLD GOODTIMES! 💕
Buck is "One Pounce Man".
This is making their White Fang movie look like Balto in comparison
Amy Barton Which Balto?
avionpiscean33 The movie Balto. Like it makes the story and animation look better in comparison. This is so generic and cheesy looking
I really like the animation style.
There's something I find completely hilarious about seeing a silly looking cartoon mounty suddenly speaking in a very serious commanding tone.
6:29- And John Thornton would later be played by Harrison Ford in the 20th Century Studios film.
Who’s looking forward to Goodtimes version of Shilo? Oh wait they’re bankrupt.
Thank God!
16:23
Oh my god I can't stop laughing at that face!
The untrustworthy guy is untrustworthy. Especially against living things.
MforMovesets Luckily I am semi-trustworthy guy who is semi-trustworthy and I love living things. But I also love money bags sometimes. In fact I believe that untrustworthy guy might be the guy from the wanted poster in dingo Balto.
Hi Old Mayor. How's your cousin Old Man and your niece Beauty ?
French Paul 1988 They are doing great. I robbe-err got some nice gifts from them recently.
3:28 Well this can only mean that the old bastard has previously threatened to let Buck maul the butler to death if he didn't obey his every command.
So... who'd be up for a Goodtimes-y animated children's cartoon adaptation of "A Song of Ice and Fire"? Seeing how well these happy stories translate into family-friendly entertainment I bet that'd be a hoot!
...shit, I jinxed it.
Goodtimes were the MASTERS of putting in loser dads.
I can't wait for the animated version of 'To Build a Fire'
THAT would be an uplifting tale...
bloodrunsclear
What exactly is that?
Actually, I heard that there were two versions of that short story by Jack London. In the earlier 1902 version, the man supposedly suffers from frostbite but gets rescued before he can die, allowing him to become “sadder but wiser”. It was not until the more well-known version later, that the protagonists ends up freezing to death.
+Tommy Deonauth's Archives
I remember being assigned to read it in School many years ago, right before we would then read “The Call of the Wild.” I recall it being about a traveler that ignores the advice of the Old Timers and goes out in the Alaskan wilderness at the height of winter. He gets caught in the cold storm and needs to build a fire. It is about his struggle against nature, how his inexperience and increasing desperation leads to him making mistakes (like finally setting his fire, but underneath a tree with lots of snow in its branches), how a canine animal acts as it follows him around, and his mindset progresses as he starts staring death in the face and becoming more accepting of it.
It's another Jack London story.
bloodrunsclear Ah... I see.
Mark Cobuzzi Thank you for that...
My prediction of Phelous on reviewing Call of the Wild was right.
Byron Chandler MAH... GOODNESS GRACIOUS GOLLY GOSH!
Well it looks like it was expected
I hope Young Moby Dick is a shitshow on "Tentacolino" levels.
Can't we have an animated dog/wolf film that includes a battle against a big cat like a cougar? I'd pay to see that.
Holy crap... I actually remember watching this years ago! No wonder it looks so familiar!
I'm shocked phelous didnt mention that the other dogs that were captured would be pretty useless as sled dogs.
21:26 .... wait... The ship is named Narwhal! No joke, my dad used to own a boat named Narwal (wich is the dutch spelling of Narwhal), and i came up with that name. Never saw this film. What a coincidence. Now i'm scared my dog will murder someone
:(
Well, as long as you got good intentions, he'll probably ignore you!
I read both Call of The Wild and White Fang in 8th and 9th grade and I like White Fang better, because stories of corruption making me depressed.
The waving crowd: *Triangle triangle!*
Lol, "So the dogs were in the hands of the mean-spirited Burton". All I can picture is him yelling at them "You have to be more careful, you were almost a dog sandwich!"
If the dog can prove he's more than just a beast of burden, he can escape being put down. So the challenge they give him to prove this is... pulling a REALLY heavy burden...
Okay.
Fantastic review! Woof was clearly the best character. John’s mom is going to be quite surprised with her new house guest and her soon to be new husband! Truly whacky! Definitely appreciate Old Man’s cameo!
8:37 Is this movie trying to make Buck and John look like star-crossed lovers?
14:24 o_o Never mind.
"Fine-ass much, Gramps."
Why do Goodtimes animations look like 90s WB and Disney cartoons teamed up with DIC Entertainment?
Not to mention looking like the '90s trying to imitate the '60s in terms of animation.
Winner Star
That's exactly what I thought!
@@diegobareno5820 and that weird Hammerman show I won't be surprised if it was the same character designer.
That would be an improvement actually
I just love this. I have this whole set of DVD my mom bought for my children and I'm looking them up. Your videos are top Google results almost every time.
Lol loved the references to the heritage minute Yukon gold rush section. Made me laugh
kevin justason Fuck, that made me so happy seeing that! I'm so happy you remember those too!
at least Goodtimes never made an animated adaptation based on Cujo, although that would honestly be kind of interesting to see now. XD
Hilarious as usual, Phelous! This makes me want to read Call of the Wild again, too!
Y'know... After seeing the Dingo Pictures version of Balto, this seems like Oscar-grade animation and acting by comparison.
This is legit the darkest book I've ever read. (Not gonna spoil anything, though, just know that a lot of death is involved) Just making it all kid-friendly is still pretty insulting, though.
It's as insulting as making a H.P Lovecraft story kid-friendly. It just doesn't work.
MasterofGaburincho Oh....they did that too. It’s called “Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom.”
Andrew Ollmann
Which is why I did a subtle reference in my comment. I still can't believe that's a thing...
Jack London is rolling in his grave.
They actually made an animated cartoon for children out of a Lovecraft story? Lord have mercy, who thought that was a good idea?
the dock workers hire people to wave at ships that come and go, makes stuff seem more exciting than it actually is.
after all these years I finally realized that burton was sabretooth all along... (from the x-men series)
This video has the 1900 equivalent of 10 quadrillion views.
Every time I follow my hart, I constantly go to my left.
I find it interesting that the company that animated this movie also animated The Magic Adventures of Mumfie.
Oh my goodddds YES Phelous is FINALLY reviewing something from my childhood this has made my night
