Honestly, it's a pretty admirable effort, considering it's all animated by one guy, but it really does go to show why full features like this work best with a team.
unless those teams are dingo, goodtimes, golden films, bevanfield, etc..
You can still make a movie with just artwork and it works. The full length movie deal is ruined already by selfish demonic corporations who want you a slave instead of yourself. As someone who finished a movie called The Star Gem, I know. I do all the hard work and prove telling a story is possible. Recently you are getting assholes like ones who gave us Space Jam sequel which is a fest for fools instead of a story.
I can do animation on my own but I must be realistic and either try for years to get a team which will never come due to prejudices of artists out there, or just use better balanced alternative like making the story comic like and just for fun. I know it is good to work with others for the cartoon industry on something, but what can you expect when we are getting garbage like Space Jam 2 which copied a movie from Japan called BELLE and both came on same day and have similar stories even if one is about basketball.
Frankly, Bill Plympton can animate films all by himself and do it better, in my opinion.
Unless it's killer bean.
I gotta say I do respect the King for asking the Princess what she thought of being proposed too instead of assuming and respecting her answer.
Gunther looks like he wants to go to an Adventure of all Time with a Geeky girl and destroy the timeline over books.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Ditto!
Aladdin and Paige are the sole reason the TVA was created.
Im surprised that wasnt more of a running joke.
But you know we're gonna see them again in another Phelous review gag.
Aladdin! I mean Gunther, do something!
What it’s just a ordinary-OH MY GOODNESS!
SQUIDWARD!
Lol! I was gonna say that
It is a clone to Japan's Puss N Boots. 🐈 Lol
Squidward blew most the animation budget on sushi and canned bread.
There will be movies like this forced upon the world tomorrow!
And the next day.
And the next day.
And the next day.
And the next day....
totally agreed on the PC game cutscene thing--it's the kinda-sorta charmingly artificial look to alot of the obviously computer-generated effects, especially the squashing and stretching of the characters
Yeah, low key, I like a lot of the animation in here, maybe it’s the nostalgic point and click player in me, maybe I just like rough animation haha
Yeah, it reminds me of [Captain] Claw!
It looks like the game Captain Klaw.
Yeah it kind of reminds me of the old King's Quest games by Sierra
@wellthatwasweird
Still less obnoxious than Cedric the owl.
I've...never seen such well designed hand-drawn characters be animated in a way that looks like corpses come to life.
What the hell am I watching?!
flash gone wrong
experimental motion tweening.
Its like if the dingo ppl knew how to draw but still didnt know how to animate
Idk but I can't even 🤣🤣🤣🤣(´-﹏-`；)
They've made them into Paper Mario characters
Puss: "It seems he's fallen in love with the princess"
Me: /lord Farquaad voice "THE OGRE HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THE PRINCESS"
I see what you did here!
Funny how maybe this movie maybe predicted Shrek and Puss and Boots crossing over, also notice how in Shrek 2 the first encounter was hostile?
It's all ogre now.
If the Ogre can transform into anything why doesn't he just transform into a good looking human to ask the princess to marry him? Really shot himself in the foot there!
Well the Ogre in the French Puss and Boots wanted to be a swan even though he could’ve done so at any time with the candy or his shapeshifting.
I think we can agree that the Ogre is a idiot
coward, the ogre is already hot
@@Thorax420 he was pretty cute. Pigs have a special place in my heart
Because he shouldn't have to
In the scene where he was singing to the princess he did take a human form for a bit (not shown here) but he was ugly as hell lol
I do find Phil Nibbelink's advice on squash and stretch pretty interesting as many recent CGI films such as Into The Spider-Verse, The Mitchells Vs The Machines, Luca, Turning Red, and The Bad Guys have actually started using it and man what a difference that makes. Like I honestly believe CGI is finally reached it's golden age
I remember when the people who made Madagascar made a really big deal on the whole squash and stretch thing in cg animation, but we've gone a LONG way since that movie came out. It's pretty amazing.
Whoa
I think it's pretty reductive advice cause squash and stretch is only one of many animation principles and you can get better animation without it depending on what you go for.
But given his background at Disney and other big western companies it's understandable he'd emphasise squash and stretch so much, since most western companies go for somewhat bouncy character movement even today it was definetly a prominent technique in his career, and probably why he went so heavy handed with the wave effects to cut time on the character animation tho I think he could have achieved a more appealing look if he restrained the animation like anime often does.
Also Spiderverse didn't just use squash and stretch, as many orher CG movies also do that, the revolution Spiderman brought was its new style embracing and reiventing old techniques like smears and animating on 2's instead of constant 24fps full animation you always see on the usual modern CG animated films with the typical "cartoon with realistic-ish rendering" art style.
In short, there's no magic technique that single handedly makes everything amazing, and all principles are employed in most theatrical projects, it all depends on how you use it.
As slow on the uptake the princess is, the fact she even suspects that Marquis is Gunther puts her ahead of other princesses and princes. And it's very cute how he's like "I sure hope they don't figure out I'm a miller", but she's like "Is that the cute miller who saved me?".
So this movie wasn't a fever dream after all.
Speak for yourself; after watching this, I've successfully tricked myself to thinking I was under the influence of opioids- _even though I am aware that I'm stone sober-_ on the grounds that *_clearly_* none of this can be real!
i know phelous literally explained judge reinhold made no attempt to sound younger, but that still didn’t prepare me to hear that voice come out of a child character
child?
@@steamboatwill3.367 the character is meant be like a teen or something
I guess Puss and Wabuu can bond over the fact that their both into aristocats knockoffs.
Fun fact: If one were to play a drinking game wherein they took a shot every time someone in this film says "The Marquis of Carabas", they would posthumously be awarded the world record for most alcohol consumed within a human lifetime.
And summarily be given a Darwin Award for doing something so spectacularly stupid.
The Marquise of Carabas?
That might even have been enough booze for Andre the Giant
You know, all the ogre had to do was bring up his Loneliness Meter to the princess and she would've fallen for him immediately!
Why did he have to waste a point on Transformation magic, when it should've went to the Social Lifespan perk?
The hero having to claim that the Ogre’s hellscape of a kingdom was actually his was kinda funny.
It's like a Bretonnian paesant trying to impress a princess by saying he owns the Chaos Wastes.
Bizarre update: Phil Nibbelink has suddenly worked on something else ..Netflix Marmaduke?!
I just saw that 😄
the animation looks like if Dingo Pictures actually had a budget.
granted, a budget of five dollars, but still, more than usual
This movie would be great with narration by William Shatner.
William "The Shat" Shatner
Well... so?
@@smileyenvelope9244 Well, so?
Hmm, I dunno... I think it can also be done with wizards that can turn into the lion king MAH GOD.
Oh God I had forgotten about that 3-way review. Damn you!
How sad is it that "Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss" was actually an upgrade - and that was the one where Nibbeling let his toddler voice-act a character?
He was personally in our animation class talking about it. And with how he described it it made it sound like it was a passion project that also made his life hell.
With the animation being better, sealed with a kiss puts Phil's weaknesses as a storyteller, writer, songwriter, voice director, etc on display. Everything I've seen at these movies so far have been some of the most uninspired stuff (Almost as if someone else did those things his entire career).
Fermin Tenava And the emotional climax is her singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." :D. This is one time where I think he needed a meddling executive to come in and say "no."
@Mullerornis yeah he needs help in the writing department 😅
@@brentparker7359 You forgot the part where, when our lovers "die," the scene panned out from their corpses and a sad, instrumental reprise of "twinkle twinkle little star" played. I was convinced Phil put it in as a joke for so long.
Phelous: “You aren’t ready for this “
Me:”After experience years of bizarre golden film and dingo picture cartoons I’ve learned to unexpect the unexpected on this channel”
And Bevanfield! Don't forget Bevanfield!
Everything about this makes me think he was a keyframe animator only. The individual poses themselves look good, but everything in between is some sort of flash effect or tween
Even then, Disney did export a lot of the animation. So he probably was.
It was made in 1999, so I imagined Flash being this new shiny piece of software that could let a single person animate in a short time and the result is this movie.
well "Sealed with a kiss" was much better animated.
I’m not even past the intro and the guy singing the theme song sounds like he’s making up the lyrics as he goes. This will be interesting.
All the songs have that vibe XD
The Ogre is really the Beast from Beauty and the Beast in an alternative universe where Beauty never returned, but the Beast decided that dying of loneliness was stupid and so he instead picked up black magic to get all the beauties he'd ever desire.
The way the character models move you really wouldn't think that the creator was a veteran animator except in the character design and (some of) the mouth movements. You're right in that if it appeared on newgrounds, everyone would have thought it was a skilled amateur, but when you learn he's been in the industry for ages, you have to wonder... why did he make THESE decisions? Was it just because flash was still a relatively new thing and so he felt a need to use all of its tools?
I bet he was hoping that the flash animation's new functionalities would let him manage this without the backbreaking amount of work it'd take to make all the...keyframes? I think that's what they're called...
The constant use of warping really threw me off. I would have though that as an animator even with that as a "cool new tool to use" you'd not try to apply it to solid characters... Like when Puss in Boots was falling, I kind of expected his cape to warp, but using it on his whole body is misguided to me and I'm not even an animator.
It was probably an issue of time and budget(i.e. how long could he afford to work on it), plus Flash being an at the time new method of animation. It says a lot that when he got years of experience using it under his belt+enough time to work on a movie for years, the animation turned out way better.
It was probably due to laziness and only caring about money.
That probably happens when you want to make it all on your own. Even trained animators need someone to draw the in-betweens. Look at Vivienne Medrano's work for example 🤔
An interesting fact is that while booth Puss and Leif were technically done in flash. He used a very primitive version of the program that basically let him digitise drawings and add effects to them. This is why those two movies look like they do as he is essentially just manipulating clip art.
Sealed with a Kiss on the other hand was done in flash proper.
Well in the bonus vid, Phil did specify he used Macromedia Flash which is a REALLY old version of the program as opposed to Adobe Flash.
Didn't he use an amiga to make these movies?
This movie is like the definition of uncanny valley, it almost looks good, but then it start moving or they start talking.
It seems like they tried to make some changes to the story to make the story work, but then kept a lot of the original story so it clashes with the changes. Maybe they should've took more inspiration from Aladdin which if you think about it, is a very similar story.
Movie is a copy to Japan's Puss N Boots by company that made DRAGON BALL anime.
I'd say one place they could improve with a few minutes' thought is changing how Puss interacts with the farmers. They're clearly living in a hellhole under the Ogre's control, so have him roll up to the fields, ask who owns this land, and then tell them that they're mistaken, it belongs to the Marquis of Carabas. A Marquis who happens to be very generous to his loyal subjects, and if they were to praise him to any carriages that happened to go by, they'd be richly rewarded.
Give them the carrot instead of the stick, and hint at how much better their lives will be under the Marquis. He's obviously still bluffing, but at least it shows he has good intentions for the people who are just trying to live their lives.
@Mullerornis Well adding that Gunther already met the princess beforehand is a decent idea for a change, makes it where the hero already likes the princess and doesn't just see her as shiny prize (that's why they did a similar change in Aladdin). The problem as Phelous pointed out, was that it made the whole con make less sense. Maybe they could've fixed it to where the Princess knew the whole time and wanted to marry Gunther, but the King was against the idea of her marrying a commoner. Thus it's only the King who Gunther and Puss are tricking and it would've been more ok because he's just being a classist prick.
I absolutely agree. The similarities to Disney’s Aladdin are something I noticed to. When you get down to it, Aladdin was a conman and a fraud, but that gets negated by the fact that the movie goes to great lengths to show that he is still a good person at heart. The movie opens with him spending half a day trying not get sliced into ribbons by the royal guards over stealing some bread and then still gives it to some starving orphans, and at the end he willingly frees his friend Genie, sacrificing his third wish that could have allowed him to marry the princess. Classic self-sacrifice. We see none of that with Gunter here, who only saves the princess two times because he has the hots for her and we never see him show an altruistic side to any person he doesn’t want to bone and unlike many portrayals of Puss’s owner, who is usually depicted as a nice and sensible guy that often feels conflicted if not guilty about the scam, here he happily goes along with it and overall comes across as a selfish, hedonistic prick who just wants to bang the princess and live a comfy life (he’s even a dick to Puss). He’s less of a sympathetic underdog who deserves a better lot in life and more like that jobless deadbeat who sleeps on your couch.
It probably would have been improved vastly by making the reason for the cats lies be he is caught sneaking into the palace to see the cat he is in love with and they think he is the Ogre. Have Gunther be pulled into the lies because some guards had seen him talking with the cat and he claims he is the Marque in peasant clothes as the Ogre tends to go after noble looking people. Also have the princess see through it but go along with the lies as him and the cat did save her life and her father is so maddened by fear that he would still end up executing them if she just told him who they were. Also instead of him threatening the people on the farmland he instead bribes them.
The Ogre gives me serious CD-I Ganon vibes.
Just the ogre?
@@jackmcslay I'm pretty sure he's the only one in this movie that looks and sounds like CD-I Ganon.
"You dare bring the Marquis of Carabas to my lair!? You must die!"
Ah it burns. I'll get you Gunther. Even if it's the last thing I do
Sounds like the same voice actor.
My man Nibbelink unlocked the secret principle of animation:
*warble and wobble*
Honestly this could be useful but using it sparingly.
@@_JabberHawk there's a limited potential for this technique.
Nibbelink here went further beyond that limit.
@@ARMIV4 Yeah it looks very weird after the fact.
Orbital wobble is one thing but this...
This was made by the guy who made the Romeo & Juliet: Seal Edition? Huh.
Also, this Puss in Boots is giving me Gex vibes, and I don't know how to feel about that.
Yeah that’s the first thing I thought when I heard the bibliography of this guy.
Never would have thunk to hear that movie again
it's tail time!
I’m getting Commodore/Amiga vibes looking at it
Jeb Jab is gonna sh*t his pants when he realizes they made a Gex _movie_
Romeo and Juliet the Titanic Animation. Lol. Those animated Titanic movies are nothing to Lupin III Dragon of Doom and the cat anime movie with galactic railroad which did not offend deaths of the people from sinking.
The animation is painful to look at but the dialogue is excruciating to listen to. Also this guy has no idea how a windmill works.
You know, with them saving the princess at the start, it would have actually been an interesting take on this tale with the miller's son/Gunther wanting to DIRECTLY talk to the princess, and it's PUSS and his ego who decide to pursue the whole "fake a title" plan to sound cool.
And already you'd have the best version of the story . Sort of a reverse Aladdin
I think Mr. The Ogre is my third least favorite Beast, but at least he put the effort to sing his whiny random marriage proposal.
I am 90% sure that is not what "squash and stretch" is supposed to mean in animation, except maybe in a very technical sense.
For an animated film done by one person this film this doesn’t look outright terrible. It’s beautifully animated in its own way
Saw the thumbnail and immediately thought “ok, is Harry gonna animate a parody of this?”
I wish
Nah he's doing a shot for shot remake
This movie definitely has 90s PC storybook game vibes, both with the animation and the humor.
I can see this looking good in story boards, which is probably how the guy sold the Voice Actors on doing the film, but seeing it animated is...not good? Also, Gunther looks near identical to Taran from the Black Cauldron and it was really distracting.
All of these characters look the same as other characters.
Well said
Oh! Yeah I can see it
IIRC Phil actually did work on The Black Cauldron
@@twilitsunset7098 oh….😶
It's like a terrible remake of the 1969 Toei Puss in Boots, both involve the ogre wanting to marry the princess, the miller's son revealing his true identity, and the "trick the ogre into turning into a mouse" plan ultimately failing.
To be fair, many film adaptations of Puss in Boots have the ogre wanting to marry the princess. Apart from Phil Nibbelink and Toei's versions, that happens in a 1969 Mexican live action adaptation, an ABC special starring a cat named Captain O. G. Readmore and a Russian cartoon on which Puss is dubbed in English by Rob Paulsen.
Phil Nibblelink? Where have I heard that name before?
“He made Romeo and Juliet Sealed With A Kiss”
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And that was the good one
@@rosesweetcharlotte I can’t believe I have to compliment one of the worst adaptations of R&J ever but
For all its failures, it at least kept the entire cast to animate which Phil can animate the “best”
Yep that’s familiar 😅 and I didn’t watch the movie, I’ve seen REVIEWS of it
I can't believe one guy animated three movies, even if they are subpar. It's still a lot a work.
I also can't believe it wasn't Phelan singing the intro song. I thought for sure it was a bit at first.
This could have been a CDi game.
It looks more like Captain Claw than a CDI game.
I mean damn, for a one-man project it's actually quite impressive that he was able to make it even somewhat watchable.
Is it great? No, clearly not, but at least there was some effort.
It kinda looks like a Don Bluth production if it was done in flash. The Romeo and Juliet one also looked vectory, but I think the simple character designs worked better. That one also didn't have so much dirt it looks like a Bakshi production.
And the squash and stretch thing was a reference to the Preston Blair type of animation you often saw in Disney and WB cartoons in 1940s. The warp tool in Flash, it is not. :P
I'm kinda into the ogre both transforming and moving via that weird cloud type effect. Like the way he enters the castle by stretching his dragon head down and just appearing on the floor is neat.
Well I was going to see Puss In Boots: The Last Wish but why would I need to after seeing this masterpiece?!…that or waiting for “The Cat On Boots: The Final Desire”
I think I understand why the brothers ended up "imprisoned" - they inherited the Mill from the father and since they don't seem very smart they probably acted as if they owned the mill, but in fact they live in a feudal society and the mill is of course owned by their feudal lord (the king probably) ... but maybe I am trying too hard to make sense of what is happening in this movies "plot"
I always assumed the ogre kidnapped them in revenge for what happened at their mill.
Medieval millers tended to be quite wealthy by peasant standards.
Probable!y not that complex. They probably got captured or something.
They tried to role play Kingdom Come Deliverence as Millers. Unfortunately they had 2 in inteligence and zero in luck...
I'm not saying Michael York saves this movie for me, but I didn't have to pay the good money this movie deserves for York taking a check to say a "NOT!" joke.
Can someone explain how the hell does someone get named Judge Reinhold? His parents wanted him to go to law school from birth? Last I checked, Judge is a profession, not a surname.
Well, "Judge" is a nickname - Reinhold's full name is Edward Ernest Reinhold, Jr. According to Wikipedia, his family nicknamed him Judge because he looked "stern and judge-like" as a baby.
Or perhaps he must be constantly judged.
@@bendavenport4136 wow😅
*first name
@@bendavenport4136 Ah thanks, I always just heard people call him that, never knew this was not a name.
Well now you have to review all of Phil Nibbelink's movies.
I do kind of agree on the whole squash 'n stretch thing. However, the way he used it in this instance seems utterly aimless.
He isn't distorting his characters' proportions to give their movements more weight and impact, he's just wiggling the entirety of the character around like they're made of pudding. Then again, it's not like he'd have time to fine-tune the scenes given that he had to animate the entire thing all on his own, so it's still pretty impressive that he got the project done at all.
So that Romeo and Juliet movie was almost FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING!
Yes very good, over 4 years is almost 5 years... Nothing gets passed you
@@beepbeeplettuce5890 it was a reference to his Aladdin and the adventure of all time review
Eh!😜
I m more impressed that this was made by one person than horrified by the animationstyle
soooo success I guess?!?
What kind of king is this who's like "Oh there's just some marquis in my kingdom I've never heard of and I have no idea who owns the land that's in MY kingdom"?
No matter the quality of the final result it is super impressive it was made by one dude.
Also why is the Oger's voice so familiar?
When I was in high school, my Shakespeare in Media teacher forced us to watch Romeo and Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss as punishment for not paying attention in class.
That movie still haunts me to this day.
That sucks, and sucks for your teacher also. I'm guessing your teacher had seen it beforehand.
@@_JabberHawk Y'know, I'd honestly never considered that he'd have had to watch it himself to know he could punish disobedient teenagers with it. That poor man XD
The very definition of a cool and unusual punishment.
Oh wow, I actually remember this movie from way back. Somehow, I don't remember looking THIS bad when I watched it as a kid. Amazing what things look like in a few years.
I love it when you get someone (unless you draw them yourself) to draw you in the style of the cartoon you’re looking at it was funny in Aladdin and the adventure to destroy time and it’s funny now
I did the drawing of myself, in flash no less!
@@phelous whoa!
"If you think I'm replacing my 'The Christmas Light' fame for this, you're crazy." -Dan Haggerty
This movie is the embodiment of the “best quality: his wiggles” meme.
The only thing going through my mind is, "Poor Michael York, he was in Cabaret. What did he do to deserve this?"
He was also in one of the Land Before Time sequels.
He was also in The Island of Dr Moreau, Logan’s Run, and so much more! He’s amazing.
Did you guys know that Michael York was once a major movie star? He was the star of the 1970s ‘The Three Musketeers’ movies, ‘Island of Dr. Moreau’ and in 1976 he was one of the top 20 box office draws in the U.S. thanks to the success of the sci-fi classic ‘Logan’s Run.’ Also, he was in this.
He was in one of the Land Before Time sequels too
York also voiced Beast in an old Beauty and the Beast cartoon from the 70s.
First impressions by the thumbnail and the character designs remind me of Aladdin: An Adventure of All Time.
I've actually seen that Leif Ericsson cartoon, and now I finally know how that weird thing came to be. So, thanks, I guess.
11:56. I can’t be the only one to get a chuckle out of that part. I just find it funny the king or whatever straight up just ignores the fact that the ogre was attacking the castle and still asks his daughter her thoughts on it before just accepting it when she says no and then attempting to stupidly shew the ogre away. Idk why that’s just weirdly funny to me.
Honestly the whole thing was very funny in an ironic self aware way
The King is a fearless based Dad.
This was a guy who had 20 years of animation experience up to this point…
Nice touch with the Pumaman flying music
Phil Nibbelink also worked on the original release of The Magic Voyage back when it was called "Die Abenteuer von Pico und Columbus", and also provided additional voices in the first dub.
for what it's worth, anyway...
Gunther looks like Aladdin but sounds like Eric...the guy picks Judge Reinhold of all people but not Ralph MACCHIO? Y'know...the guy Gunther RESEMBLES?!
I remember seeing this movie back when I was in kindergarten.
It's really remarkable that a former Disney animator can make a worse Puss and Boots movie than even Dingo Pictures.
Recently, he also co-directed that terrible Netflix Marmaduke movie. So this guy did eventually go back to working with a team, and is still working in animation. I doubt he had any influence over the terrible character designs in that movie though.
Huh, this animation was what I thought (hoped?) Dingo pictures would be like when I first came across it. It’s weird seeing what I envisioned actually existing
I actually find this warping and clashing backgrounds more visually offensive than Dingo's stiff animation and crayon backgrounds. But that might be because I've developed a sort of stockholm syndrome for Dingo Pictures.
The way the characters have no outline makes think that Eddy from Ed edd and eddy went here at some point and took everyone’s outlines. Though I have no idea why everyone in this movie are not melting into puddles.
To me its like some weird combination of aladdin adventure of all time and dingo.
@@fattiger6957 Dingo at least has better colors.
Y'know, people sometimes ask me what software I use to animate. Sure, I answer honestly (Toon Boom Harmony, for anyone wondering), but I also tell them that whatever program you use is irrelevant when you're working independently. It's just a tool; it won't magically make you a better animator.
Phil Nibbelink clearly threw this philosophy out the window when making Puss in Boots. I get the desire for a faster workflow than what hand-drawn animation requires, but he over-relied on Flash's features to the point that characters look boneless and there aren't enough mouth drawings for proper lip syncing. He even had a wiggly warp where it made no physical sense: As the giant ogre shook the castle, it waved back and forth like a flag despite ostensibly being made of stone. You worked at *Disney,* man. You should know better. There's a difference between working smart and being lazy.
Yeah, I get the feeling this guy had just discovered Flash and dived in without learning how to use it well.
Agreed, I've also had the other experience where people are surprised by what I use because of preconceptions. I'm by no means an expert (always learning), but I used to get a lot of comments from people saying they were surprised that my animations were done in Flash, because they assumed Flash was solely used to make things on the cheap. Artists can and will make any software work to their needs and style to produce something great , while others will have industry level tools and still find ways to cut corners and make it look dodgy. It really comes down to what works best for you.
It's the same with voice acting. You could have a "cheap" microphone and still make it sound good if you know what you're doing, but even state of the art equipment can have bad audio recordings if they aren't set up right.
"You will all be cut up into a thousand PIECES!!!" His face there! 😹
This whole movie is the equivalent of that cheapo haunted house effect where they put strobe lighting in front of statues to give the illusion of movement. ...When all it does is give you a headache.
Or a seizure
This looks like the animator took leftover animation from "Ali Baba And The Gold Raiders" and "Aladdin and The Adventure Of All Time".
I'm pretty sure the "S" in "Carabas" is supposed to be silent. Also, I honestly like how they kept in the part where the cat threatens some innocent farmers with death. As a lifelong cat lover, I can say that it seems like a very cat thing to do.
I’m impressed with Michael York’s singing voice. He enunciates a bit too much, the way I do, as if used to singing on stage with no amplification, but he’s very good here.
This really goes to show how proper writing like Homestar Runner can really make up for the limitations of Flash animation.
I was more affected when the female cat was kidnapped. She’s an innocent 🥺🥺🥺
It's basically like Tigtone. The characters looks very nice.....and then they start moving.
Somehow this is still better than the Shatner Puss N’ Boots.
Which is rather sad.
And it's some how also better than that live action, stage musical that the Showtime channel used to show in the 80's all the time. That version of Puss n Boots was really out its element, and it had jazz and Ragtime music. I think it's supposed to take place in either the 1920s or, 30's or 40's. And I believe it also takes place in New Orleans. But either ways, it's wholly out of it's element.
@@steamphoenix8817 Wait... there was a stage musical!?
@@TommyDeonauthsArchives yes . It was aired on Showtime in the 80's but not sure what the exact year it came out. And if it was a big flop like that Superman musical was, it's probably been buried and forgotten. It hasn't been seen since, though I hope Diva from Musical Hell will review it. If it's not lost media.
That one had a character arc. Puss and Gunther are just assholes
Ok, "squash and stretch" as the key to good animation is just only one of the 12 principles of animation, and one that is recommended to use sparsely and not for many frames in a row, especially if you aren't doing slapstick. I feel like he tried to do rigged animation on character designs that still today would be too complex for rigging. Let alone 20 years ago.
I... I don't think I've ever seen animation like this...! I saw cheap flash animation in the pre-UA-cam days, but this is something different.
This is a nice preview for the Puss in Boots CD-ROM game. So where's the movie?
Oh....
A decades long veteran of classic 2d animation looked at this and said "yep this is acceptable"...
Yikes...
Johnny Test has more fluid animation.
@@bearerofbadnews1375 I hear it had more fluid animation in the first season!

Oh my god, this video unlocked a repressed memory. As soon as Puss started singing I remembered watching it as a kid. Holy heck.
I remember watching it in school.😂
@@psychedelicpayroll5412 oh my god
What class? Did the teacher really just want a nap??
I'm still waiting for Phelous to review the Goodtimes Nutcracker.
I would assume that would come around Christmas time.
@@ellentaylor6883 What about Christmas in July?
I'm hoping for that, too! Phelous always does excellent research, and it'll be nice to see someone do a review while actually knowing the source material.
I was about to say "It looks like it was at minimum edited with a computer - especially that wavy what the heck" when you announced it was done in Flash.
I mean...kudos to him, it's well done & is a patently amazing piece of work for one dude, in _Flash_ , but you definitely can tell it was done on the computer.
I've actually been quite fascinated by the works of Phil Nibbelink, he was REALLY talented and in spite of his efforts and passion even landing the opportunity of a lifetime by directing two animated movies produced by Spielberg, he's never really in the same conversation as people like Disney's animators or Don Bluth, when imo he very much should be regardless of the quality of his films' writing and direction when the visuals are always so striking/memorable.
nobody ever suspects the Marquis De Carabas
The Marquis de Carabas?
I love this ogre character so much!! 😂 He's like Bowser mixed with Tim Curry with a dash of Lord Farquaad, and I find that utterly hilarious!!

The drawbridge gag honestly made me laugh a bit.
The question I've been asking all along: why does an animated movie made with Flash look like an old Phillips CD-i game?
Becausr the person making it doesn't have experience with it and didn't have access to the UA-cam tutorials and online classes we take for granted
@@rosesweetcharlotte I'd say you're right, but all he had to do is _look_ at the thing and think, "No, this doesn't look right at _all_ ." I understand he didn't have the resources we do, but you could say the same about a lot of people, who made better looking stuff at the time.
@@superemoboi2050 That's just your personal opinion
This might as well be a CD-I game!
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess Yeah, my opinion of the way it looks is subjective, but that doesn't really invalidate what I said. Better resources don't necessarily make a product better. People have made masterpieces out of basically nothing, both before and after this movie was made.
For the commercial after the king got burned up by dragonogre, I got an ad for a grill xD
There will never be more perfect timing!
Micheal York also played D'Artagnan in what I think is the best Three Musketeers adaptation (the 1973 version)
He is NOT usually thought of as a singer though...

(James Bond-esque music intensifies)
*GASP!*
Art looks like Oliver & Company X Don Bluth doing Flash animation!
