i love that the animators really captured the fact that raggedy ann and andy ARE ragdolls, with the way that they twist and turn like they have no bones or joints, just like any other doll :3
I'm a huge fan of how they animated the Camel, The idea of him being a play costume piloted by two people. Especially during the musical number, when the two halves dance separate each other XD
I'm so impressed that a children's show depicted toxic relationships so well, with the taffy pit being greedy and wanting to keep Ann all to himself, and the jester pushing the trio around, saying he's doing it because he "loved" them. Edit: I forgot to mention the king as well, as he only wanted to keep the trio around to use them, in this case to inflate his ego
Honestly, yea. All the side characters (besides the playroom dolls) had something. Greedy had- well, greed, camel had possible schizophrenia, Looney had what I saw as mania, gadzooks had basically depression, and the king had insecurities big enough for a king.
@@imdumb2 Honestly the camel I would say was chasing a high he'll never have to the point of almost dying trying to chase it-jumping off a cliff to find happiness. Honestly his character had the best metaphor and it actually teared me up at the end to see him finally happy and hearing Anne say "it's not just a mirage".
@CurtyTails each character is chasing something they will never have. Camel is looking for "Home", greedy is looking for "a sweetheart" king is looking for "the last laugh". What they all are seeking, Ann already has. Her song "what I see" shows that she sees happiness in the world and that she sees the same thing in herself. The camel is the protagonist of the film because he actualizes that within himself.

For anyone wondering, yes, Ragatha is confirmed to be based on Raggedy Ann. Gooseworx (the creator of The Amazing Digital Circus) has repeatedly said that this movie is their favorite.
Why doesn't this movie have more attention than it does? It is the EPITOME of underrated. It has some of the smoothest and most gorgeous animation, wonderful music and great chracters.
Not only that, it's an absolute gem to look back on! I'm a 2000's kid, but I grew up on movies like this and they always have this hint of nostalgia you just can't get from most movies nowadays. I wish this movie got more of the attention it deserves tbh
This is the original Toy Story (unless there's an earlier one I don't know about). It's so nice to look at and I love how they credit the animators in the beginning. They did an amazing job. I think the movie may have been forgotten because of those 2 identical dolls. They're just creepy looking and annoying to me. If those needles segments were cut out, I think the movie would benefit from it because the racial issue would be gone and the flow would just be better. It was just a different time I guess. I don't have any proof of this, it's just a guess. I see it a lot of older media I've watched. Some stuff just ages poorly
Apparently it's because of the director, Richard Williams who was an animator that had outrageously demanding expectations for his time, insisting to following the old 1920s standard of 24 frames per second that by the 70s had been dropped to 12 animation frames per second to cut costs. He upheld this same standard for his own personal animated film "the thief and cobbler" which took 30 YEARS to produce. it's a fascinating and heartbreaking story of it's own.
@@phoenixlich The Thief and the Cobbler never even finished production, sadly. Richard kept missing deadlines on the project, and it became such a money-dump with no returns that his vision never saw the light of day, as he was forcefully removed from the project and finished production under the leadership of Warner Bros executives and then butchered even further by Disney. The closest version to the original vision we'll ever see is the recobbled edition, made available in full right here on RUclips - by this very channel, nonetheless!

@@ArtzieKit a lot of people call it an “animator’s film.” That means that even if you don’t think it’s the best movie, you can definitely appreciate the work that was put into it.
I love how childlike anne and andy seem, anne sounding out words and andy having the “i’m not girly!!” Attitude with “no girls toy” and also them just caring for each other during the whole movie, looking out for each other n whatnot, thats not necessarily a childlike only attribute but it’s certainly noticeable in children, esp holding hands, they’re so sweet
Same. I was born in the late 90s, but I really enjoy the movie. I have a lot for older animations and video games, most of them came out before I was born. It does make me think of my childhood though since my grandmother made some Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls when I was little. I still have them.
how adorable. Andy was the star of the show for me, his voice was just so cute and charming, just like his sister's. Andy's charm also makes me think of Donald O'Connor
Okay but Ann and Andy are such a great sibling duo, like Ann is the sweetest thing ever and her voice is so adorable and so smoothing, also she's just so humble and caring. Andy is such a professional hater, but while he's hotheaded and sassy, he's still a great guy, like even if at first Andy was calling the Camel crazy, he still felt sympathy for him and offered to be his friend. These two are such lovable characters. Also, it's just so nice to see siblings care for each other and have each other's back. They're just so wholesome, and I love them so much.
Edited to make this make sense: Someone commented Ragatha on this comment, but they seemed to have deleted it. I didn't have a problem with people commenting on my profile picture, just that someone brought up Ragatha put of nowhere. @BLUZZY388 Hey, can you please just not? I mean, judging by my profile picture, I'm pretty sure it's obvious that I'm a fan of the series, but can you please just not bring it up all the time????? Can you let Raggedy Ann be its own thing?
@@sarahflandin8128you’ve probably already found out at this point, but gooseworx said that this movie was her favorite, and slightly referenced to it multiple times in the pilot!!
Didi Conn sounds adorable as Raggedy Ann, can’t believe that she’s Frenchy in Grease and its sequel. Also, I must say that the animation is spectacular to behold. And to finally see it restored in 1080p instead of VHS quality is quite astonishing, props this person for restoring this unfortunately forgotten animated feature.
Even though they are siblings that still pretty sweet but how could you tell they are not wholesome siblings like they are too cute I just want to cry I want to squeeze THEMMMMM
@@BubbafanforeverI heard that the movie had a bunch of crazy production issues behind the scenes, and I guess Candy Hearts and Flowers was one of the things that got affected. Then again this was animated by the guy who made the Thief and the Cobbler. A film that had a really troubled production.
@@notcardlinsytaccount1355 I'm glad to know that, cuz yeah, the script is awful. For some reason I thought he penned it, cuz his own daughter plays Marcella. Whoever did write it, I'm pretty sure they were on ALL the drugs.
I loved this movie as a kid. I loved how weird it was, and the freedom of expression the film portrayed totally opened my limited world at the time; I was a young kid living with an abusive parent and this movie brought me an escape. I find it hilarious that people in the seventies, when this film was made, didn’t appreciate it at all, in fact, it had been stated that this film disturbed children. Lol
I did not grow up with this but I enjoyed watching the movie. And why some children found it disturbing was probably because of all the crazy in the movie. Falling Into what first I thought was a mud pit was the domain of a gluttonous abomination that hunger could not be satisfied. Although the children should have not been creeped out about it, heck didnt they have those disney movies and all?
It got more play in the early 80s, when the Disney Channel first appeared on cable. It was in constant rotation, shown multiple times a week. This gave it enough lift I remember it was shown as a primetime movie on one of the big three networks. A Chuck Jones produced special with the same characters appeared after, sometime in the mid-80s. I've seen the Chuck Jones special floating around here on RUclips.
for a whopping 16 SONGS and a film that is so incredibly surreal, every song is so remarkable. I loved no girls toy as a kid and i considered putting it in my playlist lol
Oh let them be goners. Plus, this film we as an inspiration for future shows or films. And honestly, I would always prefer this film then other films that rely too much on CGI.
Loved this movie as a kid, much to the dismay of my parents who thought it was just too scary. Used to watch it once a day every day for a bit, up until the VHS tape just up and disappeared into thin air! I wonder what could've been behind that, haha
I may have been born in the times where Ann and Andy dolls are 'creepy'.. but this? this reminds me that there were kids that found genuine comfort in them. I love Andy so much, I hope one day I could get dolls of them.
I have re-watched this movie since I got depressed over my grades and so when I passed the year I asked for a Raggedy Andy Doll (Since he's my favorite in the movie) and now he just came!! He's so cute
“No Girls Toy” has to be the SMOOTHEST animation I’ve seen in a while 😮 (Not Andy just going on a rant about how he’s “no girls toy” while doing the most effeminate hip swings)
I'm not sure. Did you see the thief and the cobbler in the last 20 or 15 minutes. If you like smooth animation, you're going to love that, especially when the one-eyes are showing off their boots and weapons - pure euphoria.
Richard Williams is a great animator and animation director. I really wish he was given the budget and time to really see the whole way through producing his vision for RA&A and The Thief And The Cobbler. These movies both have excellent animation! I love how the animators are given star-like billing in the opening credits for this movie, telling who animated which characters.
And the opening credits are so cute too! Normally im bored with the credits but with the way they put so much effort in the opening credits alone is worth watching.
I'm 46. My mother had this movie on a VHS tape. She bought me a life-size Raggedy Ann Dolly and she would play this movie when I was a little girl. I loved it back then, I love it now. Thank you for making this animated movie available. I've been looking for it. I'm happy to be able to watch it again.
I was -25 years old when this released and grew up without knowing it existed. I also used to be terrified of the Raggedy Ann doll. This movie in a single watch became one of my faves and made me absolutely cherish Ann. This film, especially, just has some amazing designs, and it's hard not to love all the personality and emotion of the characters, as well as the voice acting.
If there were plushies based on the models of this film I'm 100% sure they would look MUCH cuter and less creepy or chibi and simple kinda like the sanei all star plushies they do for video game characters
I love how wholesome the sibling relationship ragedy ann and andy has especially after andy ranting he is no girls toy yet soft when it comes to his sister.
Does anyone else wonder if Toy Story 1 was based off of this? The introduction of Babette as a birthday gift for Marcella is like Buzz being introduced as a birthday gift for Andy. Both Buzz and Babette go through a window into the “real world” and have to be rescued. There are many other similarities too, it’s cool to see.
Raggedy Ann is also like Winnie the Pooh. Marcella is like Christopher Robin, while Raggedy Andy and The Camel With The Wrinkled Knees are like Tigger and Eeyore.
I have only heard of this film through people saying how bizarre it is. My question: How did I not know this was so gorgeous?? Its animated, written and voice-acted with SO much LOVE. Definitely a spectacle in a way more beautiful way than I was expecting
This is such a beautiful movie! I´m a 2000's girl so I didn't knew this existed. It has Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story vibes. I´m impressed of how smooth and realistic the animation is. Love Ann's voice, so calm and cute💕
I'm in my late 50s and I remember watching this in the theaters in 77 with my two younger sisters and I thought it was lame as a pre teen boy, but over the years I fell in love with the story and score written by the ever so talented house Joe Reposo that I watched it with my two daughters and now loved watching my 3 granddaughters love this.
I like how the toys act like they are toys I mean like how when ann and andy fall they fall like how a ragdoll would, since they are ragdolls. Idk it's just interesting. Also the voice acting in here is perfect I love Ann and Andy's voices
The movie was so sweet and gentle. The songs were so catchy and I seem to can't stop repeating them! When I first watched this, it reminded me of Toy story, just a bit older. And the thing they both share is they both pretty much have the same plot. Just ones about dolls and the other is about action figures and gadgets. I really enjoyed the movie alot! The quality is a little good for a movie from the 70's and for a platform that was from years later. And the thing that surprised me was that the 2 movies both have a new toy arrriving. Like ones a super cool buzz lightyear and the other is a french doll which is babette. The rest of the movie was very enjoyable. I don't think anybody relizes this but i just relized that yk theres a raggedy andy? Well do you know woody's owners name? Ya, andy! 2 andy's!
28:52 Lyrics for “Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers” because no one else wrote them 🎶: Times when you’re real down and low Every lonely place I go There’s a way I always know We’re always together Paper daises to explain Sunshine always follows rain And a heart that’s sweet and true Will help us weather the weather That’s what keeps us together Candy hearts and paper flowers Sunshine days and skies of blue Rhymes and songs we sing for hours Words to say “I love you true” Times get bad and then I worry How I’ll ever see it through But candy hearts and paper flowers Will always keep me close to you Will always keep me close to you If the night is gloomy and I’d like to hide Or a chill goes through me cus I’m scared inside That’s when I remember all the things you’ve done Little things that warm me like a morning sun And I feel so happy, don’t you see? Cus I start to thinking just how much you mean to me So let the night get gloomy any place I go I got you beside me, that’s a fact you should know It’s because I love you so If the night is gloomy and I’d like to hide (Candy hearts and paper flowers) Or a chill goes through me cus I’m scared inside (Sunshine days and skies of blue) That’s when I remember all the things you’ve done (Rhymes and songs we sing for hours) Little things that warm me like a morning sun (Words to say “I love you true”) And I feel so happy, don’t you see? (Times get bad but I don’t worry) Cus I start to thinking just how much you mean to me (Cus I know you’ll see me through) So let the night get gloomy any place I go (And candy hearts and paper flowers) I got you beside me, that’s a fact you should know (Will always keep me close to you) It’s because I love you so Candy hearts and paper flowers will always keep me close to you
I'm sorry but the bit between 41:40 - 42:00 is just so precious it just melts my heart for some reason they're both just so adorable like shshsjsj qwq.. Especially Ann- her voice is just so cute and adorable she makes me so happy qwq
Im only 30 minutes into this but just letting you know watching this while under a duvet with a cat curled up next to you is the best its like im experiencing nostalgia but ive never watched anything like this and i was born in 2009
No it’s not, a crime would be like pooping on the ground and then throwing it at unexpecting middle schoolers as they walk home from there 7 hour school shift then there parents would be like what happened and they would be like some guy threw poop on me but because there stupid little children kids there parents wouldn’t believe them and ground them that would be a crime
Oh my god this movie is my life line. 1 * I WANNA GEEK OVER HOW ADORABLE ANN AND ANDY ARE.. THEY ARE LIKE... THE PERFECT SIBLINGS 😭😭😭 2 * THE ANIMATION? Outstanding! LIKE HUH??? HUH? HOW DO PEOPLE ANIMATE THIS WELL? 3 * Its super clear Ann and Andy are ragdolls,, they flop and twist around and yet they don't look creepy! I love this movie with all my heart ❤❤
It’s amazing that even though he didn’t necessarily think this movie anything special, he and the animators still put heart and soul into directing it. Clearly with the massive cult following it has garnered it was a good call. Animation doesn’t necessarily have to tell a story that’s any good, it just has to make that story LOOK as good as possible.
I am so very extremely happy that I discovered this piece of cinema through this unconventional means, and hope that it gets preserved and gets the attention it deserves one day by showing up on streaming services. This not only inspired me to get my own Raggedy Ann doll, but to re-spark my imagination and become a writer. Thank you for uploading this.
Blown away reading how much love, effort & attention that went into this restoration. This is the kind of project that I am utterly thankful to all who gave their time & money to make it happen.
I've never heard of this film. As soon as I found it on my recommended, my morbid curiosity turned into a legitimate love for this animated masterpiece.
i feel like i barely see people give joe raposo his flowers for his work on this movie. it’s sad, if he were still alive he would probably go on to be one of the greatest film composers
I love how in the beginning no one actually realizes that Andy's gone until one of the toys mentions the feet sprouting from underneath the box and Ann's just like *wait a damn minute-*
Blue camel became my spirit animal when I first saw this in the 70’s as a kid and definitely hits solid now I’m in my 50’s. ‘Low down saggy and rag bag baggy’ ❤😂
I've watched this movie a billion times, and I've always loved it. In a few months, I'm going to be auditioning for theater programs and colleges as Raggedy Andy. I've been practicing the "No Girls Toy" number over and over again for the musical portion of the audition. Super excited and I give so much credit to this film.
41:36 okay-- can we PLEASEEE talk about how well-animated the entire scene with Greedy is???? like seriously, his design is so creative and just so well-executed
The song where she sing "i'm just a ragdolly" is so soft and cute i love it so much I really didn't knew that this movie existed but i'm so happy youtube recommended it to me
Never thought such a simple premise could give way to such an acid trip of a plot. Though "plot" is probably being generous. Thanks for keeping this fever dream of a movie preserved.
I’ve never seen this movie prior to today. But I’ve seen it now and I think it’s one of my all time favourites Interesting plotline, charming Characters, banger soundtrack, STUNNING VISUALS LIKE OH MY GOD And over all, a very feel good movie. Made me cry in a good way

Okay but Ann and Andy are such a great sibling duo, like Ann is the sweetest thing ever and her voice is so adorable and so smoothing, also she's just so humble and caring.
Andy is such a professional hater, but while he's hotheaded and sassy, he's still a great guy, like even if at first Andy was calling the Camel crazy, he still felt sympathy for him and offered to be his friend. These two are such lovable characters.
Also, it's just so nice to see siblings care for each other and have each other's back. They're just so wholesome, and I love them so much.
Your pfp is pomni.
I love them too.
Hello XDDCC

Edited to make this make sense: Someone commented Ragatha on this comment, but they seemed to have deleted it. I didn't have a problem with people commenting on my profile picture, just that someone brought up Ragatha put of nowhere.
@BLUZZY388 Hey, can you please just not?
I mean, judging by my profile picture, I'm pretty sure it's obvious that I'm a fan of the series, but can you please just not bring it up all the time????? Can you let Raggedy Ann be its own thing?
Tanjiro Kamado: I am the best brother in animation 😇
Raggedy Andy: HOLD MY PAPER FLOWER!
Raggedy Ann: ANDY NO-

LOL good one
So true!
I know right? He is so sweet towards his sister.. but they're both very good brothers to their own sisters 😆

Me too. Andy is such a funny character.
The fact that he broke his flow to throw some “talk sh- get hit” at her 🤣
He's my favorite character for so many reasons, but his sass is the biggest reason of all.
I just re-watched this and I can feel how much I actually needed to escape reality into this world of magical animation
Yes I agree
Me too
It's the weirdest damn thing ever, but god I love it
Fr, I love escaping the negatives off the real world to be distracted by Ann’s positivity, this whole movie’s like a warm hug-
I love it so much and I don’t know why
Sometimes i act like I'm a big strong man and then I go and cry my eyes out because Raggedy Ann is too cute and precious for this world.

@@sarahflandin8128ragatha is most definetly inspired by raggedy ann
@@sarahflandin8128you’ve probably already found out at this point, but gooseworx said that this movie was her favorite, and slightly referenced to it multiple times in the pilot!!
Whether it's about ethos, movies, and especially music, the true beauty and grace of American culture lies in the twentieth century alone.
@sarahflandin8128 inspired by raggedy Ann. Tadc was made a couple weeks ago and raggedy in 1910.
Didi Conn sounds adorable as Raggedy Ann, can’t believe that she’s Frenchy in Grease and its sequel.
Also, I must say that the animation is spectacular to behold. And to finally see it restored in 1080p instead of VHS quality is quite astonishing, props this person for restoring this unfortunately forgotten animated feature.
Alright is nobody going to talk about how beautiful the stars look in the blue sequence?
Nah because animated stars and sparkles are so gorgeous, especially the old animations 😪
i dont know i was crying over the camels song
Дадада эти звёзды словно и бисера или блёсток :D
It's too bad candy hearts and flowers seems unfinished. The little kiss Ann gives Andy before Rag Dolly is so sweet.
Even though they are siblings that still pretty sweet but how could you tell they are not wholesome siblings like they are too cute I just want to cry I want to squeeze THEMMMMM
It seems unfinished? What do you mean
@@BubbafanforeverI heard that the movie had a bunch of crazy production issues behind the scenes, and I guess Candy Hearts and Flowers was one of the things that got affected.
Then again this was animated by the guy who made the Thief and the Cobbler. A film that had a really troubled production.
@@thejman5683 how was it affected
@@Bubbafanforever I think they say that cos they're a long part of the song where they're basically just standing around towards the end
I grew up with this movie.
Storytelling wise, it’s not particularly strong, but the animation is so deeply surreal… it’s worth a watch for that alone.
I like the music
When Richard Williams was signed in to do the animation, he hated the script, but made the most of it.
Yeah the animation and visuals are definitely the highlight of this
@@notcardlinsytaccount1355 that why it’s such a mind screw?

It was the 70's
@@joshuanalley7202 yes
I loved this movie as a kid. I loved how weird it was, and the freedom of expression the film portrayed totally opened my limited world at the time; I was a young kid living with an abusive parent and this movie brought me an escape.
I find it hilarious that people in the seventies, when this film was made, didn’t appreciate it at all, in fact, it had been stated that this film disturbed children. Lol
I did not grow up with this but I enjoyed watching the movie.
And why some children found it disturbing was probably because of all the crazy in the movie. Falling Into what first I thought was a mud pit was the domain of a gluttonous abomination that hunger could not be satisfied.
Although the children should have not been creeped out about it, heck didnt they have those disney movies and all?
It's time for a live action/CGI remake I think,
It got more play in the early 80s, when the Disney Channel first appeared on cable. It was in constant rotation, shown multiple times a week. This gave it enough lift I remember it was shown as a primetime movie on one of the big three networks. A Chuck Jones produced special with the same characters appeared after, sometime in the mid-80s. I've seen the Chuck Jones special floating around here on RUclips.
Wow
@@Titaniaqueenofthefaewouldn’t that ruin its charm?

This was the original Toy story.Change my mind
@@EssieBell-xu4ytyesss that’s what I thought when I watched it right now I was like: it’s the origin Toy Story!!
Loved this movie as a kid, much to the dismay of my parents who thought it was just too scary. Used to watch it once a day every day for a bit, up until the VHS tape just up and disappeared into thin air! I wonder what could've been behind that, haha
this is why i used to bite my parents when i was younger 😌
the greedy is really scary its like an acid dream tbh
If they walked in at 5:13-5:28 I can’t blame them 😂
They designed them so weirdly
😂😂😂😂
raggedy ann's voice is so soothing like I'm melting, I literally lean in when she sings
I may have been born in the times where Ann and Andy dolls are 'creepy'.. but this? this reminds me that there were kids that found genuine comfort in them. I love Andy so much, I hope one day I could get dolls of them.
I think the actual doll looks slightly creepy, but they look so cute in the animation!! Also I see you are a fellow Deltarune fan :D
This film gave me a new view on raggedy Ann dolls.I now see them as cute.
Once you see them in this movie, they are cute asf
@@PeriluneStarI never found them scary at all.

I asked for one too! :)
congrats on passing! school is rough- it’s nice how art like this can make things a little better 💛
rooting for ya!
I've seen this comment in 3d
“No Girls Toy” has to be the SMOOTHEST animation I’ve seen in a while 😮
(Not Andy just going on a rant about how he’s “no girls toy” while doing the most effeminate hip swings)
Ok so I wasn’t the only one thinking it-
At 11:37 during the song, he was mocking the way girls walk.
ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS WALK LIKE THIS 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣
@@Animation_Pr0jects🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️❗❗❗
I'm not sure. Did you see the thief and the cobbler in the last 20 or 15 minutes. If you like smooth animation, you're going to love that, especially when the one-eyes are showing off their boots and weapons - pure euphoria.
Richard Williams is a great animator and animation director. I really wish he was given the budget and time to really see the whole way through producing his vision for RA&A and The Thief And The Cobbler. These movies both have excellent animation!
I love how the animators are given star-like billing in the opening credits for this movie, telling who animated which characters.
Richard Williams was the animation director of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
May he rest in peace.
And the opening credits are so cute too! Normally im bored with the credits but with the way they put so much effort in the opening credits alone is worth watching.
He needed to be paired with a writer. He is an amazing animation director but not the best storyteller. Like they did with Who Framed Rodger Rabbit.
I'm 46. My mother had this movie on a VHS tape. She bought me a life-size Raggedy Ann Dolly and she would play this movie when I was a little girl. I loved it back then, I love it now. Thank you for making this animated movie available. I've been looking for it. I'm happy to be able to watch it again.
I was -25 years old when this released and grew up without knowing it existed. I also used to be terrified of the Raggedy Ann doll.
This movie in a single watch became one of my faves and made me absolutely cherish Ann.
This film, especially, just has some amazing designs, and it's hard not to love all the personality and emotion of the characters, as well as the voice acting.
If there were plushies based on the models of this film I'm 100% sure they would look MUCH cuter and less creepy or chibi and simple kinda like the sanei all star plushies they do for video game characters
I'm so glad you got to find this gem so many years later
@bandanafan2004 im still learning how to use a sewing machine but im definitely gonna make it a goal to make a raggedy ann doll based on this movie
I love how wholesome the sibling relationship ragedy ann and andy has especially after andy ranting he is no girls toy yet soft when it comes to his sister.
Does anyone else wonder if Toy Story 1 was based off of this? The introduction of Babette as a birthday gift for Marcella is like Buzz being introduced as a birthday gift for Andy. Both Buzz and Babette go through a window into the “real world” and have to be rescued. There are many other similarities too, it’s cool to see.
I wonder this too!
Yu uh , woody is like andy , and ann is like Jessy
Or the fact , that somebody loved me , and blue , are similar
no, apparently it was based off the brave little toaster
Raggedy Ann is also like Winnie the Pooh. Marcella is like Christopher Robin, while Raggedy Andy and The Camel With The Wrinkled Knees are like Tigger and Eeyore.
I have only heard of this film through people saying how bizarre it is. My question: How did I not know this was so gorgeous?? Its animated, written and voice-acted with SO much LOVE. Definitely a spectacle in a way more beautiful way than I was expecting
It definitely has bizarre moments but i think thats apart of the charm. Its fitting for toys going on adventures.
This is such a beautiful movie! I´m a 2000's girl so I didn't knew this existed. It has Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story vibes. I´m impressed of how smooth and realistic the animation is. Love Ann's voice, so calm and cute💕
I was born in 2002 and I never knew this movie existed back then.
I have a feeling that Toy Story got inspired by this original film
I was born in 2000 too, and today i discovered this beautiful movie
same!
Same!
Its crazy at how high the quality of this movie is.
My mom is 51. She was like 4 when this movie came out. It looks amazing.
I'm in my late 50s and I remember watching this in the theaters in 77 with my two younger sisters and I thought it was lame as a pre teen boy, but over the years I fell in love with the story and score written by the ever so talented house Joe Reposo that I watched it with my two daughters and now loved watching my 3 granddaughters love this.
omg you got to see this IN THEATERS?! Man, I'm jealous.
I like how the toys act like they are toys
I mean like how when ann and andy fall they fall like how a ragdoll would, since they are ragdolls. Idk it's just interesting. Also the voice acting in here is perfect I love Ann and Andy's voices
How is this movie so underrated? I like it! I love the voices of these characters especially. This movie feels like a hug
im 15 yrs old n I watch this movie very often, its just so adorable
Same, this movie is heartwarming and good for all ages :)
Kind of a shame that this was never re-released for it's such a beauty as well as filled to the brim with catchy tunes.
I know, I'd kill for a remastered DVD or Blu-ray Release!
The movie was so sweet and gentle. The songs were so catchy and I seem to can't stop repeating them! When I first watched this, it reminded me of Toy story, just a bit older. And the thing they both share is they both pretty much have the same plot. Just ones about dolls and the other is about action figures and gadgets. I really enjoyed the movie alot! The quality is a little good for a movie from the 70's and for a platform that was from years later. And the thing that surprised me was that the 2 movies both have a new toy arrriving. Like ones a super cool buzz lightyear and the other is a french doll which is babette. The rest of the movie was very enjoyable. I don't think anybody relizes this but i just relized that yk theres a raggedy andy? Well do you know woody's owners name? Ya, andy! 2 andy's!
28:52 Lyrics for “Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers” because no one else wrote them 🎶:
Times when you’re real down and low
Every lonely place I go
There’s a way I always know
We’re always together
Paper daises to explain
Sunshine always follows rain
And a heart that’s sweet and true
Will help us weather the weather
That’s what keeps us together
Candy hearts and paper flowers
Sunshine days and skies of blue
Rhymes and songs we sing for hours
Words to say “I love you true”
Times get bad and then I worry
How I’ll ever see it through
But candy hearts and paper flowers
Will always keep me close to you
Will always keep me close to you
If the night is gloomy and I’d like to hide
Or a chill goes through me cus I’m scared inside
That’s when I remember all the things you’ve done
Little things that warm me like a morning sun
And I feel so happy, don’t you see?
Cus I start to thinking just how much you mean to me
So let the night get gloomy any place I go
I got you beside me, that’s a fact you should know
It’s because I love you so
If the night is gloomy and I’d like to hide (Candy hearts and paper flowers)
Or a chill goes through me cus I’m scared inside (Sunshine days and skies of blue)
That’s when I remember all the things you’ve done (Rhymes and songs we sing for hours)
Little things that warm me like a morning sun (Words to say “I love you true”)
And I feel so happy, don’t you see? (Times get bad but I don’t worry)
Cus I start to thinking just how much you mean to me (Cus I know you’ll see me through)
So let the night get gloomy any place I go (And candy hearts and paper flowers)
I got you beside me, that’s a fact you should know (Will always keep me close to you)
It’s because I love you so
Candy hearts and paper flowers will always keep me close to you
Tysm I needed this
I'm sorry but the bit between 41:40 - 42:00 is just so precious it just melts my heart for some reason they're both just so adorable like shshsjsj qwq.. Especially Ann- her voice is just so cute and adorable she makes me so happy qwq
Right? Her voice is like the softest bed in the world 🤗 she's so precious

I heard the descendants of Johnny Gruelle (Raggedy Ann's creator) approved of the film even if Richard Williams didn’t think to highly of the project
It’s amazing that even though he didn’t necessarily think this movie anything special, he and the animators still put heart and soul into directing it. Clearly with the massive cult following it has garnered it was a good call. Animation doesn’t necessarily have to tell a story that’s any good, it just has to make that story LOOK as good as possible.
I am so very extremely happy that I discovered this piece of cinema through this unconventional means, and hope that it gets preserved and gets the attention it deserves one day by showing up on streaming services. This not only inspired me to get my own Raggedy Ann doll, but to re-spark my imagination and become a writer. Thank you for uploading this.
Blown away reading how much love, effort & attention that went into this restoration. This is the kind of project that I am utterly thankful to all who gave their time & money to make it happen.
I've never heard of this film. As soon as I found it on my recommended, my morbid curiosity turned into a legitimate love for this animated masterpiece.

i feel like i barely see people give joe raposo his flowers for his work on this movie. it’s sad, if he were still alive he would probably go on to be one of the greatest film composers
I love how in the beginning no one actually realizes that Andy's gone until one of the toys mentions the feet sprouting from underneath the box and Ann's just like *wait a damn minute-*
