I love that the Pinocchio design here is pretty much ripped right out of Rankin-Bass' "New Adventures Of Pinocchio", just adding a hat and gloves to make it legally distinct. He translates well to this style, and it makes me wonder what other stop motion characters might have looked like in a show like this.
ok that has to be maurice la march .. thems two togeter with all the others this it a great treasure a rare gem for mankinds media history to preserve with the awesomeness that is the internet!
I remember this episode! I saw this on Saturday Morning when I was six and loved it. No one knew about the show when I told them about it, for awhile I thought I imagined it. I guess it didn't last long.
Wow. This lively animation (by TV standards, I mean) is what the original Beany and Cecil WOULD have looked like if Bob Clampett had been given the budgets for it.
I looked this up after reading about it in "Sick Little Monkeys," the book about the history of Ren and Stimpy. The way the book described it, I would have assumed this show looked unfinished and incomprehensible at best, but it really doesn't look any better or worse than any other cartoon from around that era.
I hear Bob Clampett is just as conceited (but not as controversial) as John Kricfalusi. Maybe he wasn't a pedophile. But he was pompous, and arguably Machiavellian. Heck, I first heard of him from this! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bugs_Bunny/Road_Runner_Movie And according to a RUclips comment, which I can't find at the time), Clampett called Mel Blanc a hack.
@@yosefdemby8792 Kricfalusi isn't a pedophile and shouldn't be considered as one. Yes he preyed on a couple of teen girls, but he didn't start having sexual contact with them until they were both 18-19.
Not bad. The animation is lively, the gags are funny. Most of the voice work is good, but I think they made a mistake casting Beany with a real kid. The original voices (Daws Butler in the puppet show; Jim MacGeorge in the cartoon) were much funnier.
IF 100 or so of these new episodes had been done, even with the off kilter beany voice, the show would have been a great success. Just aired a few times then buried. A real shame.
It was because John just wanted to shock and violate the ABC standards (a trademark, I guess?) so they abruptly cut the show because they thought it wasn't appropriate to air on TV
For this, Beany was voiced by an actual boy. In the old puppet show and animated series, Beany was voiced by a grown man (first Daws Butler, then Jim MacGeorge.) For Uncle Captain, Jim MacGeorge reprises his role from the later "Time for Beany" episodes and the "Beany & Cecil" animated series. Maurice LaMarche does an excellent Dishonest John, and Billy West made for a really good Cecil.
The 80s weren't ready for John K's madness. This kind of insanity belongs in the 90s.
Written by the same guy who would go on to co-create the Big Bang Theory.
Drawn by the same guy who would do Ren & Stimpy.
And Mom, and Mike & Molly and my PERSONAL FAVORITE Two and A Half Men!!!!
Great to see more of these again! This part had some wild takes and expressions, 'specially before and after Cecil hits the bridge!

The little Pinocchio guy sounds like Roger Klotz from Doug.
Sarah Ackerman That's because it's Billy West. Voice of Roger, Doug, Ren, Stumpy, Fry, and Professor Farnsworth.
And Zoidberg
Now this is a PROPER tribute by DIC

The recent animate short pinokidoki brought me here.
So good! Should have lasted more than a few episodes! Bob Clampit and John K. Awesome!!
i haven't seen any of the original show but MAURICE AS DJ SOUNDS LIKE SQUIDWARD

Who is here because of Pinokidoki?
It just don't have the charm of the original show.
DJ and everybody else have good voices, but whoever is doing Beany is way off. Beany sounds more like Rocky.
