When you have already seen all of these movies yet are still looking for more Steampunk. Yeah, this genre really is pretty rare. I love it, but it so difficult to find Steampunk media, especially any that is particularly good.
Last Exile is my FAVORITE Anime, and as far as steamPUNK goes, it follows not just steam, but the themes of anti authority and aristocracy as well. no punk-sub genre is without it's true PUNK
Last Exile was truly amazing. I can't recommend that enough. I'd like to throw in a bit of an unorthodox recommendation: Koutetsujyou no Kabaneri. It's Steampunk, but also a zombie anime as well, so it's a bit half and half, but also hyper fantastic.
I love Last Exile, but it's core premise is very deep and poorly framed, making it frustratingly confusing at times. Could be just because I'm dumb, but I loved it regardless. There's also a second run of 23(-ish) episodes that is also very enjoyable. One thing that the series nails, however, is the visceral, weighted feeling of everything and the casual legitimacy of the tech, outside of the "black box" power source. Wonderful scene direction, as well, and the background and character design is tops. 3D CG is clunky quite often, but that's early CG for you.
@@pdahandyman The only thing I didn't like about Last Exile was a plot hole near the end of the first season, which left me wondering how Mulland Shetland went from seemingly dead, to being alive and with kids. Aside from that I loved both seasons.
Steamboy is without a doubt my all-time favourite steam punk movie just encapsulates the era and the radical achievements steam could achieve so well. And the studio that created it put truly their all and money into its creation.
"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" "wild wild west " Disney's "Treasure Planet " Disney's " Atlantis : The Lost Empire " "Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events" second season of Netflix's " Disenchantment " "Howl's Moving Castle " are all worthy to mention
I hope that you are referring to the original TV series "Wild, Wild West" and not the movie which, in my mind, does not exist. The series was a blast!!
I would add"April and the twisted world (US title: April and the extraordinary world) to the list. A French animated film that I found to be a lot of fun.
I know the one- I was going to save it for a possible 2nd video. Haven't watched it in some time though. Would you want to see another steampunk video or something different?
"April" is an extraordinary film. I love French animated movies and their penchant for depicting characters as everyday people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, mirroring their own bloody history and the struggle of the commoner against royalty. Thanks, peep. Now I'm going to have to watch it again! ;p
Mortal Engines; The series of books are a fantastic piece of literature. The final chapter of the fourth book should be famous as a major piece of drama and storytelling. The film was fun but the story got lost in translation to the screen; basically they killed off the rest of the series by changing some critical parts.
The 1960's television series "The Wild Wild West" was where I think Steampunk began really! There were outlandish engines of destruction, some of them even driven by steam, including a killer robot! Nifty clockwork devices created for killing, villainous villainy from villains and two nearly perfect heroes protecting the American West in the 1880's! A great show!
You could just cover all of the retrofuturistic genres, from dungeonpunk to atompunk. Then of course there is the question of cyberpunk, which it's debatable the degree to which it can actually be called retrofuturism as our world is looking progressively more cyberpunk by the year.
I'm so happy you mentioned Castle in the Sky. And to recommend to watch in original language too. You are all class my man, this channel got my curiosity, subbed!
Another worthy addition to this list would be "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" which has a lot to do with steampunk. Good list otherwise. Thanks for sharing.
I went to a second-hand shop with parents when I was a kid and they told me to look around and find something I wanted. I choose a black chest with metal trim for storing my treasures and two large, beautifully illustrated books. One was a copy of Peter Rabbit and the other was Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. I devoured both and was thrilled when the Disney version came out. Also I loved League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and was very disappointed that they cancelled the sequel. I've been a steampunk fan for about 60 years, they just weren't calling that yet. As far as your lists go I think you're channeling my personal movie collection. You, Sir, have excellent taste. Thanks for sharing.
Mad Max, Captain America, Sky Captain, Iron Sky, Iron Giant, War of the Worlds: Goliath. Though you listed it here Last Exile is a fine example of Dieselpunk.
These videos here are what got me into the channel i am down for any genre it is just nice to have some curation and find things that may not have considered worth my time or never knew about to begin with.
9ine should have made this list or at least honorable mention. I'd also tap into; sky captain and the world of tomorrow, sleepy hollow (Johnny Depps star), Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2 with Robert Downey Jr and Wild Wild West. Thanks for your video.
I'm just saving stuff for another video- I think the Steampunk purists would hate the Sky Captain + sleepy hollow but Sherlock and WWW wouldn't be tooo bad.
Yes, you should make another steampunk selection. Except for City of Lost Children, I've seen all the ones you have listed here. I liked them all... well except for Mortal Engines. I would suggest checking out Sky Captain and Metropolis ( The Original and the Anime). Have a great day and thank you for the video.
Also worth adding to this list are "The Adventurers: Curse of the Midas Box", "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc -Sec", and "The Adventures of Tintin"
I'd like to include the TV series The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne which only ran for one season on the sci-fi channel, but created true steampunk stories that, within the show context, inspired a young Verne to write his novels.
City of the lost children is an amazing movie, with its quirkiness, infantility mixed with dark and dramatic tones, it basically captures the essence of european fairytales.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, it has this amazing european/french feeling to it. It feels very old and yes pretty modern.. no clue how they managed to achieve it visually, but it worked.
oh man, just the other day I was thinking, kinda annoyed, the small quantity of material concerning steampunk.. now I know about Last Exile and The city of lost children, so thanks a bunch! Can you cover some Cosmic Horror perhaps?
I think the book Mortal Engines was so good that it got strip-mined for anything of value and so became a cliche on looking back. The same, in many ways, as The Giver - it's predictable these days because everyone copied it.
The best western ever made. Starts off small and intimate and scales up steadily to a full blown epic. So many memorable scenes but for me it’s the one towards the end where Clint comes across the young confederate soldier left alone and dying from his wounds. In this moment of incredible pathos he gives this astonishingly beautiful young man a drink of water and a puff on his cigar before he dies. It’s all done without a single word and humanises the steely-eyed killing machine that is The Man with No Name. A truly masterful piece of film making by Sergio Leone with a score by Ennio Morricone to match.
Just when i needed it THANK YOU for making this video i really appreciate it, and for me Mortal Engines was absolutely amazing i wish they could continue it :(
Finally! Someone who not only loves Steamboy as much as I do, but also holds equal appreciation for City of Lost Children (Junet's Alien: Resurrection is easily the best film of that franchise, as well). I do question including Hellboy II, though.... Despite all the other anime, Howl's Moving Castle would probably fit better.
Mortal Engines was just frustrating... I saw the ratings and thought, this is going to be complete trash. But I was just tickled by the mobile London thing... it just cracked me up. I wish they focused more on the city roaming around attacking other cities like Paris LOL. Haven't read the book, but I'm pretty curious.
I really don't get all the hate. That movie was amazing. Kinda feels to me like it is one of these occurences again, where everybody likes/dislikes just because they feel that's what they feel is expected of them.
@@Heinzpeteromfg The 1999 film stinks because Will Smith basically hijacked the franchise and turned it into a race-swapping vanity project, and vanity projects (like Johnny Depp's self-indulgent turn as Tonto in "The Lone Ranger") rarely turn out well. Changing James West into a black secret agent who is implausibly working during the Reconstruction Era adds a trainload of racial baggage to the story. Besides that, the remake simply isn't as good as the original 60s series, which was remarkably stylish, violent, and imaginative---007 with a steampunk spin.
steampunk hollywood movies: Sherlock Holmes(2009) Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows (2011) Mysterious Island (1961) Master of the World (1961) First Men on the Moon (1964)
That was a nice chunk of a subject. Very tasteful selection of clips. I like the genre of Kurt Russell Big something in little China genre whatever it is. Do something on that one if you haven't .
Have you by any chance considered Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? It’s not "pure" steampunk so to speak (though honestly nothing truly is), but it’s one of the other movies I obsessed over along with Steamboy and still long to watch again. Another two possible items are the (Possibly French? The lip animations seemed to indicate it) TV series Wakfu, but it admittedly only contains like, one or two episodes with actual steampunk stuff with the rest concentrated on different things, but I always thought the punky bits seemed pretty well done ; And Avatar: The Legend of Korea which features a novel diesel/electropunk aesthetic for pretty much the entire show whenever the technology appears.
Which do you prefer, Original (first aired) FMA or Brotherhood? Last Exile is very cool, rewatching it was pretty refreshing compared to a lot more recent anime.. isekai and harem are just all over the place atm.
I prefer the original. The music and the more grounded tone are why. I didn’t care for the alkehestry sub plot or the forced humor gags taken from the manga. I didn’t think they worked that well overall. Maybe it’s just the nostalgia factor from being blown away by it in middle school.
For my fellow weebs: Princess Prinicpal (2017 anime series) Description: It's like steampunk Totally Spies but more darker and the spies need to assassinate, interrogate, and betray their way out of Victorian London where England is devided into monarch loyalist Britons south and Commonwealth-communists north. Neither which good nor bad. A lot of plot twists, tragic backstory galore, and the steampunk vibe really shows.
Great list! More Steampunk and Diesel Punk vids! Include: The Adventurer The Curse of the Midas Box (2013) FRANKLYN Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) (Diesel) Sherlock Holmes (2009) Sherlock Holmes - A Game Of Shadows (2011) The Golden Compass Brazil The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello The Prestige (2006) Jonah Hex (2010)
when you mention "20k leagues Under the Sea" - you may definitely mention most of its other adaptations. or majority of media inspired by it - like e.g. relatively little known (now) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fabulous_World_of_Jules_Verne - and any other Karel Zeman's productions.
"london being mobile and literally hunting down small towns in europe, it's such a crazy far fetched premise!" you know dam well that if london were mobile it would not hessitate to hunt other territories for sport
I would add "the mutant chronicles". Steampunk guns and planes? a clockwork hell engine that produces demons? Ron Perlman, John Malkovich and Thomas Jane? Check to all!
Out of these movies I own "Steamboy, Hugo, Last Exile, Castle In The Sky." All, in my opinion are great flicks. There are some missing from this list like "The Golden Compass," and (maybe) "Miss Peregrin's Home for Peculiar Children, and Howl's Moving Castle." I'm sure there's many more that I'm unaware of.
You know whats great bout last exile, it has a second series last exile: fam of the silver wing...which is set some years after the 1st title and set in Earth
Does anyone happen to know the title of this short animated film? All I remember is the animation was kind of side scrolling stop motion but smoother. The characters were paper doll like set on a background and the coloring was that of late 1800s to early 1900s photographs if I remember correctly. The main character went on a voyage and had a pocket watch or compass I think he was leading or navigating the voyage. I think he fell off the airship after a fight with the main villain. The best way to describe it would probably be if you were readind a storybook. I think it was from a film festival and it might have been Australian but its been years. There use to be a amv set to Invasión by Pastora too.
Wow, Laputu Castle being my favourite. Are you, by any chance, going to make a list of top steampunk games? And may I humbly nominate my Steampunk Idle Spinner in this case?
At the Earth's core is one of Edgar Rice Buroughs Steam Punk Adventures. The film stars Peter Cushing and Doug McClure. It's very B movie but still a wonderful adventure.
What about the secret of the cerulean sand? Or a series of unfortunate events? And legends of Korra? Even the last airbender has some steampunk elements
It in theory should have 3 adds LOL.. been working on producing these 10+min videos. Just refresh it and you should get something.. LOL! If you do get adds.. what do you get? I'm curious.
@@Hyperdriveuk ok, I tried again. There was only one ad at the very end! I hope this can be resolved! I look forward to your channel thriving (and you along with it)!
@@LukeVilent Bull Shit Nausica is not atompunk it's after we've F@#$$%^ Up destroyed the world and their using remnant and makeshift steampunk technology both
I had to check on IMDb if I watched all of it and surprisingly - I did! I barely remember anything of it, besides giant ships, general war /army/"navy" apotheosis and some airship races, I think. I is definitely not bad - just ehm.. "forgettable", apparently. :)
I'm looking for a anime movie I watched about 15 years ago; and i can't find it. I believe it's in a steampunk setting, but I'm not 100%. It's about this robot boy that cannot really talk, and he meets these orphans. Two of the children are dressed up kinda like bunnies with the girl having pink ears and the boy blue. There is this man trying to catch this robot boy's heart. And that is about it what I can remember from the movie. I have been searching for it for 5 years now, and haven't found it. My friends say I dreamt it all.... but I'm sure I haven't, because I remembered it so well being so dark and violent, which I'd never seen in an anime or a cartoon ever, because I was around 10 years old and had only watched Pokémon and stuff. So I'm sure it does exist.
Last Exile is a very good steam punk anime. I own it, and the dub is very good. I like the dub of Castle in the Sky, except for Mark Hamill, no hate mail please :)
another example of this mix between retro and future are video games like Horizon zero down (mix between future and bronze age [i guess]) and ff12, an unique mix between ancient middle east and future.
When you have already seen all of these movies yet are still looking for more Steampunk. Yeah, this genre really is pretty rare. I love it, but it so difficult to find Steampunk media, especially any that is particularly good.
Would you want to see another video with steampunk? I've got quite a few more to add, however I can always do another genre.
@@Hyperdriveuk make it happen dude, please
Have you seen Mutant Chronicles?
I wanna make a steampunk/fantasy trilogy one day. Bear witness my guy.
You could try with movies like:
Empire of Corpses
The Fabulous World of Jules Verne
Tai Chi Hero and Tai chi Zero
More Steam Punk PLEASE.
Ok kool I've got quite a few more quirky selections.. so it's definitely doable.
Last Exile is my FAVORITE Anime, and as far as steamPUNK goes, it follows not just steam, but the themes of anti authority and aristocracy as well. no punk-sub genre is without it's true PUNK
I just bought "Last Exile." I agree, It's great.
I think mortal engines was unfairly panned , to me was a wonderful experience👍 thanks for remembering city of lost children!
totally agree
You should read the Book.
Agreed, I'm usually very critical of the films I watch but couldn't find any major flaws in Mortal Engines
i loved the movie i thought it was so different from the rest... too bad it didnt get much attention
Exactly, although it follows some of the (now inevitable) cliches, it is deemed "bad," while other movies with same cliches are celebrated.
Thank you for adding Last Exile. It is a vastly underrated and almost forgotten anime classic.
It was on danish TV in early 2000s and i love IT👍
Last Exile was truly amazing. I can't recommend that enough.
I'd like to throw in a bit of an unorthodox recommendation: Koutetsujyou no Kabaneri. It's Steampunk, but also a zombie anime as well, so it's a bit half and half, but also hyper fantastic.

I read the mortal engines book series and I ask everyone to read it
Mortal Engines; The series of books are a fantastic piece of literature. The final chapter of the fourth book should be famous as a major piece of drama and storytelling.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, it has this amazing european/french feeling to it. It feels very old and yes pretty modern.. no clue how they managed to achieve it visually, but it worked.

I think the book Mortal Engines was so good that it got strip-mined for anything of value and so became a cliche on looking back. The same, in many ways, as The Giver - it's predictable these days because everyone copied it.
What I'd love to see is either the Orville or the Flash doing a Steampunk episode which could turn around and become a spinoff.

Steamboy was surprisingly a fun, straight forward adventure. Usually ambitious anime movies of this scale tend to be rather convoluted and confusing.
It's aged really well, it's been many years since I've watched it- and I have to say I enjoyed it more now, then back when it was 1st released.

It's like steampunk Totally Spies but more darker and the spies need to assassinate, interrogate, and betray their way out of Victorian London where England is devided into monarch loyalist Britons south and Commonwealth-communists north. Neither which good nor bad. A lot of plot twists, tragic backstory galore, and the steampunk vibe really shows.
Great list! More Steampunk and Diesel Punk vids! Include:
The Adventurer The Curse of the Midas Box (2013)

HyperDrive: Castle in the Sky.
Me: *thinks he said Howl's Moving Castle and gets really excited*
Glad you're back.
Cheers!
when you mention "20k leagues Under the Sea" - you may definitely mention most of its other adaptations. or majority of media inspired by it - like e.g. relatively little known (now) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fabulous_World_of_Jules_Verne - and any other Karel Zeman's productions.
"london being mobile and literally hunting down small towns in europe, it's such a crazy far fetched premise!"
you know dam well that if london were mobile it would not hessitate to hunt other territories for sport
I would add "the mutant chronicles". Steampunk guns and planes? a clockwork hell engine that produces demons? Ron Perlman, John Malkovich and Thomas Jane? Check to all!
To be honest i really do somewhat prefer the Dieselpunk asthetic because it usually involves Ww1 and 2 with friggin mechs
Out of these movies I own "Steamboy, Hugo, Last Exile, Castle In The Sky." All, in my opinion are great flicks. There are some missing from this list like "The Golden Compass," and (maybe) "Miss Peregrin's Home for Peculiar Children, and Howl's Moving Castle." I'm sure there's many more that I'm unaware of.
Thank you for the great movie suggestions! I would love to hear more steampunk suggestions if you get the urge...
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress - huge steam trains, fortress cities, samurai and zombies... nuff said, I think!
Steampunk Hong Kong Movie: Tai Chi Zero(2012) and Tai Chi Hero(2012)
I'll definitely have to check out Last Exile
Wonderful video...but where did you learn to pronounce Guillermo? You killed that name. OW.
There's an animated French film u missed : April & the Extraordinary World
Yeah I'm saving that one for another video. Ironically when I do that one.. people will make comments like you missed steamboy :-) lol.
@@Hyperdriveuk oh cool u've heard of it! Now that make 3 English speaking humans who've seen it 😉
You know whats great bout last exile, it has a second series last exile: fam of the silver wing...which is set some years after the 1st title and set in Earth
I've seen Hugo a while ago. It was such a fever dream.
Does anyone happen to know the title of this short animated film? All I remember is the animation was kind of side scrolling stop motion but smoother. The characters were paper doll like set on a background and the coloring was that of late 1800s to early 1900s photographs if I remember correctly. The main character went on a voyage and had a pocket watch or compass I think he was leading or navigating the voyage. I think he fell off the airship after a fight with the main villain. The best way to describe it would probably be if you were readind a storybook. I think it was from a film festival and it might have been Australian but its been years. There use to be a amv set to Invasión by Pastora too.
Found it! The Mysterious Geographical Explorations of Jasper Morello.
@@manifestman132 ohhh, thank you!!
Wow, Laputu Castle being my favourite. Are you, by any chance, going to make a list of top steampunk games? And may I humbly nominate my Steampunk Idle Spinner in this case?
City of lost is Terry Gilliams Brazil, a little bit of 12monkeys but more of dark city. I need to watch it
Steamboy. Also, to the best of my knowledge, the only anime set in 19th century Manchester.
At the Earth's core is one of Edgar Rice Buroughs Steam Punk Adventures. The film stars Peter Cushing and Doug McClure. It's very B movie but still a wonderful adventure.
Hugo was a great movie. Brings forth a child like happiness!
How come you didn't include City of Ember???
What about the secret of the cerulean sand? Or a series of unfortunate events? And legends of Korra? Even the last airbender has some steampunk elements
At 0.20, this art is stunning! What film/show is it from?
Hyper Drive cheers! Does this video not have ads? I like to see you're active but are your videos no longer monetized?
It in theory should have 3 adds LOL.. been working on producing these 10+min videos. Just refresh it and you should get something.. LOL! If you do get adds.. what do you get? I'm curious.
@@Hyperdriveuk ok, I tried again. There was only one ad at the very end! I hope this can be resolved! I look forward to your channel thriving (and you along with it)!
I've always wondered what genre Disneys Atlantis would fall under, seems like a bit of a mix, does anyone know?
Thank you for recognizing that subs > dubs.
Hellboy II is amazing!
I love everything in steampunk! Don’t forget steampunk graphic novels.
Treasure Planet is a great anime
Missing:
Howls Moving Castle
Porco Rosso
Master of the World
to be fair, howls moving castle is more magitech than steampunk
OK how about Nausica?
Porco Rosso is dieselpunk, Nausica is more like atompunk, they do not fit into steampunk neither in spirit, nor in tech, nor in aesthetics.
@@LukeVilent Bull Shit Nausica is not atompunk it's after we've F@#$$%^ Up destroyed the world and their using remnant and makeshift steampunk technology both
@@vernonjackson3435 We're just talking about movies. We can stay calm :) It's just a debate, not a war.
Del Toro meets Gilliam? I'm intrigued and scared LOL.
Guess I have to watch Last Exile... only one of this list I haven't seen...
Hopefully you won't regret it.
I had to check on IMDb if I watched all of it and surprisingly - I did! I barely remember anything of it, besides giant ships, general war /army/"navy" apotheosis and some airship races, I think. I is definitely not bad - just ehm.. "forgettable", apparently. :)
8:01 a city with a great name for Spanish speakers
i'd love to see a channel like this but for music
That is a fantastic idea- I can imagine it been very tricky though...
also, try Sci-fantasy next. thinks like cloud atlas for example. if you havent already
I'm looking for a anime movie I watched about 15 years ago; and i can't find it. I believe it's in a steampunk setting, but I'm not 100%.
It's about this robot boy that cannot really talk, and he meets these orphans. Two of the children are dressed up kinda like bunnies with the girl having pink ears and the boy blue.
There is this man trying to catch this robot boy's heart. And that is about it what I can remember from the movie. I have been searching for it for 5 years now, and haven't found it.
My friends say I dreamt it all.... but I'm sure I haven't, because I remembered it so well being so dark and violent, which I'd never seen in an anime or a cartoon ever, because I was around 10 years old and had only watched Pokémon and stuff. So I'm sure it does exist.
I love Last Exile and I would add the Show Warehouse 13
*I'm actualy just adicted to steam, diesel, energy powered weapons*
My favorite summary of the steampunk fashion aesthetic: "When goths discover brown." 🙂
Last Exile is a very good steam punk anime. I own it, and the dub is very good. I like the dub of Castle in the Sky, except for Mark Hamill, no hate mail please :)
You may have included War of the Worlds Goliath and the anime version of Metropolis
another example of this mix between retro and future are video games like Horizon zero down (mix between future and bronze age [i guess]) and ff12, an unique mix between ancient middle east and future.
