Can u please do a dark toons episode of slumber party from teen Titans go with scary Terry.
Channel Awesome you should try watching the Animals of Farthing Wood or Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids
Next you should watch the spongebob episode called “I was a teenage Gary”. It creeped the hell out of me when I was a kid!!!!!
The Wheel Thing from Super Mario World. Now let me try to give a "spoiler free" explanation about why I believe this a "dark toon". We know Mario as this "light hearted plumber" However, I can speak from experience that this has subtle dark undertone. Especially with the lime delivery from the Koopaling featured in this episode to its overall premise...Trust me on this. The FIRST MINUTE is enough to give you CHILLS! Can't reccomend it enough! I'll leave a link below. Though word of advice...Don't watch tis in the dark!

Fun Fact: ‘Swing’ can either refer to dancing, specifically dancing associated with the jazz and big band styles of the time, or it can refer to a body swinging on the end of a noose…
The title has a double meaning. ^^
@@cartooncritique6625 Exactly!
Lol, I prefer swing music.
Dark
Its swing music. The name is based off the song which came from Honey 1930
there isn’t a level in cuphead called swing you sinners! when you defeat the devil at the end of the game, you earn an achievement on the xbox that says:
“swing you sinners!”
Considering that Cuphead is call back to these kind of old cartoons that's not surprising at all.
The name of the level you're referring to is called "One Hell of a Time," though
Tristan Collester I think they sent the achievement
Tristan Collester yes!!
They did use the headstone idea for one of the early boss fights, though--the one that's the big blue blob.
The Fleischer Brothers are forgotten giants of animation that couldn't keep up with the money making monsters of Disney and Warner Bros despite being as ambitious if not more ambitious that Walt Disney
Fleischer Superman would make tons of money if it came out today.
Agreed. They deserve to be remembered as the geniuses they were.
Walt Disney purposely took press coverage away from them to suffocate competition
@@sketchs_art_corner Walt couldn't have done such a thing. Throughout his lifetime, most people forget this, but Walt Disney Studios was a fairly small operation. People forget the monolithic company that exists today is largely the result of decades of accrued money resultant from the Theme Parks the company owns and which did not make much money until after Walt's lifetime.
Walt and his studio made fairly thin margins of money on the theatrical shorts and films (many of his animated films bombed financially in their first runs, only starting to make returns after their second or third re-release to theaters), and not only that, but Walt was not popular with the Hollywood press. He did not wield the kind of power with the Hollywood establishment people would expect him to, in spite of how large and powerful the company that bears his name has become.
His unpopularity was because Walt was a fervent anti-communist (and also anti-fascist, see Der Fuherer's Face (1943) for an example of his opposition to totalitarian political philosophies) and Hollywood was a hotbed of Marxist ideology in the 1930s and 1940s. The House Un-American Activities Committee (which people mistakenly think Joseph McCarthy led but he couldn't because he was a senator and the *HOUSE* Un-American Activities Committee was a House of Representatives committee) called Walt in as a witness, and he demonstrated how Herb Sorrell, an open communist and leader of infamous Hollywood labor unions, including a cartoonist union that ran strikes against Walt Disney's company, was a communist front man who acted on behalf of the Soviets, alongside other notable and infamous people who would be blacklisted later on.
The Fleischer Brothers were at least as famous as Walt during their time, and the Warner Brothers shorts would become more financially successful than Walt's company during the mid-1940s.
@@GreyWolfLeaderTW Disney and his company took the credit for creating the first cartoon with sound along with imitating the Fleicher’s and claiming that his studio had done it first. I’m not saying he bought his way there, which isn’t even what i said, but he took away attention from the Fleicher studio and they faded into obscurity.
"How can't that be a boss in Cuphead?"
I'm pretty sure that scene inspired the last phase of Baroness Von Bonbon's fight, the one where she starts chasing you with her castle turned into a monster.
Its TWO, actually. The heads are referenced on the train boss, and the moving barn inspired said castle
@@gamingawesomeness222 Quadratus isn't a boss, but it inspired his look too, so that makes three.
@@supersinger9000 And now with the DLC is yet another reference
Cuphead has several references to this cartoon
Was reading The Art of Cuphead when this popped up. Truly great timing lol
Casper joke here:
You read a book and this popped up a BOOK okay
Same
I love that "fleischer" means butcher im german... gives kind of a new meaning
It’s very ironic
Wow. I didn't know that. Very fitting for these kind of cartoons.
@@sydneyslaughter7163 it's the exact opposite of ironic, it's extremely fitting
the key to irony is reversal, and there's no reversal here
"Daddy's home."
Metzger too.
You should actually do "Bimbo's Initiation." Also, I appreciate the connection you made between this and Cuphead, but I was surprised you didn't mention the connection between this and Bendy and the Ink Machine, which definitely took inspiration from Fleischer's cartoons, especially with the actual Bendy shorts that they made for the game. I've seen a couple on RUclips, and even Hot Topic, and I can definitely see the Fleischer-style animation in them.
He's said that he makes a point to try to avoid saying things he's seen in other uploaders' videos, and pretty sure he's seen the Game Theory vids that talked about that link. If you haven't, I definitely think you'll enjoy them.
@@Imspammedout I have seen them. I've seen almost all of them. But the comparison itself shouldn't be something he avoids. I made the connection between the game and these old cartoons when I first saw the game. Obviously, based on Bendy's design, he's supposed to be similar to Mickey Mouse, but I saw Bimbo's Initiation a couple of months before the trailer for the game came out and noticed Mickey locks Bimbo in a sewer, so I figure maybe this was supposed to be a horror parody of the Fleischer cartoons, and sure enough, it was. But I'm sure I wasn't the only one to make the connection. Especially after the animated Bendy shorts came out (though I'm not sure exactly when those came out, and whether it was before or after the release of the first chapter). So as far as comparing it, I don't think he should worry. Besides, Markiplier, just to name one uploader, made the connection between the game and Disney like all of the people who saw that game made. So just stating it shouldn't be a problem. Going into a long explanation about it would be another thing. Not saying he should though. Just surprised he made the connection to Cuphead and not Bendy. 🤷♂️😂
Please give "The Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy" a try too.
Especially for the episode Wishbones. That has to be the darkest one in the series. Saliva and Irwin(or someone who looks like him) get eaten by a pterasaur; General Skarr implodes in space; Pudn' gets mercilessly beaten by a killer pink bunny; Mindy turned into a star via tangled with a nuclear missile; and let's not forget that end credits scene with Grim and that skull.
@@amitaikatz5929 " little rock of horrors" is another really good dark one, especially with how it ends, and the " brains" song is super great.
Yes!
The Misadventures of Flapjack is often a downright TERRIFYING dark kids show. Highly recommend the pilot episode "How The West Was Fun."
Or perhaps Captain K'Nuckles's Hilarious Problem, particularly his dream sequence at the end, or as Bubbie puts it, "a vision quest". Also notable for having my favorite endcard ever. "The Hilarious End"
@@ilikecurry2345 Oh man that one is so horrifying and GOOD. One of my favorite episodes. Visuals aside its a pretty grim metaphor for "alcohol" or any seriously bad drug addiction problems.
Making an official request for "Hair-Raising Hare", the Looney Tunes short that introduced Gossamer, everyones favorite hairy red monster
Finally! I always forgot the name of this and so couldn't find it. Thanks.
There's nothing dark about that, though. It's just funny.
@@Silverstar_ i would argue that, much like the Syvester and Porky shorts, there are dark themes and ambiance
damres these days... One little kiss and they fall to pieces. look! out in the audience!!!
Jonathan St. Martin great short😊
Dark Toons: Mickey’s Garden (If I remember correctly that was the name of the cartoon)
I remember that cartoon. Definitely a dark cartoon.
That cartoon was freaky as hell
That sound that one bug makes when it's guzzling down the bug poison. Or towards the end when Pluto is freaking eaten. Yeesh.
@@MoffMuppet IKR! I recall being scared of that cartoon as a kid!
I'd love to see you talk about Powerpuff Girls "Abracadaver"
Isn't that a Tales from the Crypt episode?
@@bethanymcmurtrey9542 It might be? But it's also an episode of OG PPG. It's about a magician that comes back from the dead and wreaks havoc on Townsville.
The Zombie Magician, I remember that one!
He was killed by an Iron Maiden, and makes you think you think he killed the power puff girls in the same way and also saw Buttercup in half.
It's kinda dark, but REALLY? After the dark as FUCK imagery from Speed Demon, you want us to go BACKWARDS?....Bruh
You have to do the Garfield Halloween Special. That is downright terrifying at any age, and I'm shocked it doesn't get more recognition
You mean Garfield in Disguise? I think that was later renamed Garfield's Halloween Adventure or something like that. Great show. I had the book of it as a kid and loved copying the ghost characters :D ( You can watch the original here for anyone who want to check it out /watch?v=-f8Dt5RuBRU )
Yes! Best time when Halloween is near! Great spacial!
Those pirate ghosts are the things of the devils nightmares
Bender Bending Rodríguez he’s already covered it
@@dillonohlemiller9027why are you saying that to me lmao I'm not even the one that said he should cover it lol
Recommendation for a future episode:
Mickey Mouse in Runaway Brain. It's a cult classic from the 90's. It's got the voice of Sideshow Bob voicing an evil monkey scientist.
Also, what about the first episode of Scooby Doo: Where are you? "A Night of Fright is no Delight". Those green phantoms were just creepy as hell and it have the impression of dead bodies.
Kelsey Grammer. It’s Kelsey Grammer who plays as Dr. Frankenollie.
@@MDWolfe-ks5fu Thanks. I just looked that up. Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons, right?
TDI CharlieBrown I haven’t watch The Simpsons. Let me check. (Looking it up) Yep, it is.
@@TDI_CharlieBrown NO SHIT EINSTEIN
@@josephclayton5964 My, so angry. Do you need a hug?
For what it's worth, the butt slapping thing is basically a way of mocking whoever you're addressing. You'll still see it pretty often in anime.
I think it's about equivalent to a nonverbal way of saying "Kiss my ass."
Stand up, sit down, we’ve got him at last, he’s finally reviewing “Swing You Sinners” and we’re having a blast!
Talks a lot about this cartoon inspiring Cuphead
Doesn't even show the ghost that did Cagney Carnation's dance
bruh
I was literally waiting for him to mention it....Was very disappointed :(
@@samahissimplistic YA NEEDED IT
Speaking of Cagney, he got his name a famous movie actor in the 1940's named James Cagney.
Ed Edd n Eddy- The Ed's are Coming
Scooby-doo: Mystery Incorporated- Night Terrors
What about the Krampus episode from Mystery Incorporated?
@@drakeware655 I didn't think it was that creepy sep maybe at the ending with the dolls.
@@darkcloak100 That's the part I'm talking about; the dolls. I forgot what Night Terrors was about, as I haven't seen the show in a while
@@drakeware655 It might be something you have to watch one after another to see which one is creepier.
@@darkcloak100 Okay. I looked up Night Terrors. That would be a good onr
"Give a circle eyes and legs and you've got a character" damn I miss Télé-Québec's ciné-cadeau holidays classic cartoon films programmation.
That's basically Kirby's design policy right there.
Weird Guy 149 yeah, kinda, but more ciné-cadeau's walking animation design.
10:35
That does remind me of a Cuphead boss, Baroness Von Bon Bon. Lol but with a little bit of the ghost train added. Lol
If you want more Invader Zim do Bad Bad Rubber Piggy. I think it's MUCH darker then Dark Harvest. I'm legitimately shocked that Nickelodeon let the episode air, and that it's not talked about more. Keep up the amazing work!
He could fill a whole 2 hour special just with Invader Zim. And maybe he could talk about Bloody Gir.
I was just about to suggest that. I found it interesting how Nickelodeon actually had to step in and stop Dib from dying as he was originally planned to be disposed of/replaced.
@@midnightdragon1055 Fun Fact: Zim was originally suppose to die at the end of the show, but Nick wanted to continue Zim in the future. So the episode were Zim dies was canceled.
The Banned Dexter's Laboratory Episode: Rude Removal
how is that dark?
Filet of a Soul would be more fitting for the next review
@@aurahoneydew9607 It's a light dark.
Dexter accidentally removes his and Dee Dee's rudeness. However they manifested into rude cursing copies of themselves (kind of like the Rick and Morty episode "Rest and Ricklaxation"). There's a cut and uncut version on RUclips.
They actually have a powerpuff girls version too
@@animebrat76 Oh yay, I remember that one. Odd that one got to air but Dexter's did not. Different management I guess.
Not the most horrifying thing out there but how about "The Sea-preme Court" Little Audrey cartoon? It's got a 6 year old getting put on trial for murder and getting the electric chair.
I remember watching that one. I thought Pluto's Judgment did the same story better.
I remember Little Audrey!
One of the best (and surreal) cartoons from the Fleischers change my mind
We can't, because it's true
No need to change your mind. I agree with you. 😃
With October just around the corner and Halloween too, he'll be doing plenty of these for a month and a whole lot of big ones.
Felix Colgrave's 'Double King'.
Modern, silly, dark, and here on youtube. Quality on par with anything you've seen in theaters, millions of views, but just one guy.
It's about a king who collects crowns, all the way to the grave and beyond.
YES! I found it very abstract but in a good artistic way.
One episode I REALLY recommend is *Same as It Never Was* from TMNT 2003. Like....it....Oh god Poor Donatello.
OMG, you finally did this one! This cartoon partly inspired Cuphead (the Jewish guy moving his hands back and forth like Cagney Carnation does).
Very true. The other cartoons that inspired Cuphead were Cobweb Hotel, Bimbo's Initiation and Minnie the Moocher.
Major recommendation for a future video. It's another Courage the Cowardly Dog episode, except this one is one of the most beautifully crafted in setting, music and atmosphere. My recommendation: Windmill Vandals by Bill Marsilii.
YES!! This episode legit scared me as a kid! Like, a lot of Courage the Cowardly Dog episodes were disturbing, but only a handful of them genuinely scared me, and this was one of them. And I feel like compared to most other episodes, this one actually took its time in trying to scare the audience moreso than tell jokes, it was pretty intense.
This one and the one where they show courage's parents were the ones that made me actually uncomfortable enough to make me change the channel when it was on again. That's some good horror done right.
If I was gonna make a suggestion it would be a MLP episode from the 80s called Rescue at Midnight Castle, it all starts off cheery but then you have a literal demon looking "king" with a pouch of "darkness" that literally beats like a heart he uses to turn the ponies into really scary dragons. this cartoon scared the beejeebus outta me as a kid.
Soooo...would Disney's Sleepy Hollow count? It was part of a package feature, but it was released separately later on.
That's right. The Sleepy Hollow with Bing Crosby was released on its own on VHS as part of the Classics Collection. But it was again paired with The Wind In The Willows for the DVD release.
Yeah but he already loves that one; it's on his Top Eleven Scary Moments from a long time ago. xD
The reason the black and white works so well is because color, even if it is only water color, would be distracting.
11:10 Modern Disney should take this philosophy to heart.
Warner Brothers did a tribute to the Fleischer "moving background" trope in an episode of Animaniacs. Yakko, Wakko and Dot find themselves on a street where everything is black and white and the buildings have eyes, and they even comment on it.
That whole bit about the character getting trapped in a surreal setting where none of the laws of nature work (not even to the extent that they work in the "normal" cartoon universe) is what makes the whole "descent into Toontown" sequence in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" work.
Yes! The episode in question is called "The Girl with the Googily Goop" a parody towards Betty Boop. It's amazing--I love their digs at the moving objects. My favorite gag is when Wakko gets frightened by a talking mailbox and whispers something to Yakko. "Why didn't you take care of that before the cartoon started?" "I did, but this place is scaring the "you know whats" right out of me." Dot then tells him that he doesn't need to go to the potty. "I don't?" "Nah, in these cartoon, the potty comes to you." Sure enough, a toilet with eyes is seen walking towards them. "I'm on my way to Flushing!" the toilet announces.
Oh, and at one point when Yakko starts singing a song revolving around Googie, the writers somehow got away with him singing "Heidi Heidi Heidi Fleiss" In the manner of Cab Callaway. Heidi Fleiss is an American former madam.
We'll keep asking until you review it: Samuari Jack - The Haunted House
Either that one or the Zombie one would be great.
I had a nightmare that involved classic cartoon dragging me and yelling and it was before I found swing you sinners
5:33 "...the Pixar of animation..."
Isn't _Pixar_ the Pixar of animation?
Hand Drawn Animation he means probably. Btw you should check out his CG vs Hand Drawn video.
@@adamvialpando106 I'll look into it. :)
10:27 In Cuphead, the final stage in Sugarland Shimmy when the the cake castle comes alive is a straight up reference to Swing You sinners and I love it 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Aw man, you didn't even mention how Cagney Carnation's iconic idle animation came from a character in this cartoon.
This short turned 80 today. What great timing!
90 Years.
The Snowman 1932 that one is the definitive “Surprise Creepy” according to TV Tropes
Yep. I've heard of that one--it's got a "Never trust a trailer" screen card of a happy looking snowman--nope, the one we actually get is terrifying as hell!
I 100 percent agree, I watched "The Snowman" cartoon the technicolor print from Technicolor Dreams and Black and White Cartoons dvd and that cartoon scared the craps out me and gave me nightmares. I haven't watched that cartoon since then. When the top of his face melts in the monster I was so scared.
I was just was on RUclips and I searched Disney Christmas cartoons and I was scrolling down somebody put together of Christmas cartoons called crazy old Christmas cartoons so I clicked on it and lord and behold third cartoon down I saw the snowman I hate that cartoon it gives the jitters
This is easily my favorite Channel Awesome series. I love seeing Doug's love for animation and his knowledge of it. I also feel like I learn about a lot of good cartoons that I never would have heard of or had opportunity to see otherwise.
I reccomend the Happy Harmonies cartoon 'Bottles' (1936) which is set in a Chemist's shop. There are some creepy scenes with a cackling skeletal bottle of poison.
I love that Cartoon. Talk about creepy ever see The Snow Man 1932. That one gave me nightmares
The level itself isn’t called Swing You Sinners, but the achievement you get for beating it has that name
Now that you're giving Pokemon a shot again, why not do "abra and the psychic showdown". that was a pretty horrific episode.
OH MY GOSH YES. I think I tried to repress that one...
Oh, Effing hell, that was my first episode as a kid, which was why I was a month behind everybody else on the Pokemon train.
Tower of Terror is also a good one
Actually seems everything revolving around his quest for the Marsh Badge involved some pretty dark and twisted stuff for a world that is mostly a utopia
@@LangThoughts if that were my first episode...i probably would have stopped watching the series. that was some freaky shit to put into a children's cartoon.
What version of the show? I don't remember that one
It's really great to see how excited Doug is when speaking about these cartoons.
He becomes very animated himself.
Wonderful video! 🤗
YES YES YES YES YES FINALLY HE NOTICED MY COMMENT, I FEEL ACCOMPLISHED
I'm glad that people are still experimenting with these abstract cartoons and making their own forms of art. It's nice to see that these types of cartoons weren't left in the past and people are constantly testing the limits of animation.
This videos is actually on the film's 90th anniversary.
That Chuck Jones 'turning up' reminds me of George Costanza
Do Spongebob Squarepant The Graveyard Shift and Shanghaied.
Lol
Graveyard Shift is my favorite Spongebob episode
Which one is were spongebob kills a man
@@josukejostar277 nasty patty
I added I was a teenage Gary
I know you already did 2 PPG episodes by now but there is one that is quite creepy and dark called "Knock it off" where a university friend of Utonium called Dick Hardly comes to visit him and then when he sees the girls he wants to sell them for stupid ammounts of money to goverments and armies, then he starts to make knockoff versions of the girls and it gets quite trippy indeed.
Since he reviewed Detective Pikachu is it possible he could react to the Sabrina Episodes of
the original Anime Series? Cause that's certainly an dark cartoon!
You should watch The Songs of the Birds, another dark fleischer cartoon. It literally features a funeral of a child. There was also a remake featuring little audrey. You can review both.
The final level is called: “One hell-of a time.”
Although the two most obvious Swing you Sinners references are the ones seen in the Cagney Carnation boss (the way he moves his hands) and the final stage of Baroness von Bon Bon when her castle moves on its own like the barn.
@@MrKlausbaudelaire The achievement for beating the final boss is literally called "Swing you sinner!"
Yeah many of these feel more like animated music videos than “traditional” cartoons. I guess bc synchronized sound was such a big deal back then. I always found it kinda neat how in Mickey Mouse shorts I noticed the sound effects would match the tune of the background music; sometimes Mickey would even randomly tap his feet, drum on something, etc. to match it
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Everyone Wants To Direct
Quentin Tarantella is a downright creepy looking zombie. And the way his partner exits his grave legit scared me the first time
Michael Cinelli Haha. Courage was one of the few things on Cartoon Network that I actually encouraged my kids to watch when they were growing up. Maybe it was a little dark but they knew it wasn’t real. It wasn’t the edginess or “ darkness” that concerned me as a parent because my children were intelligent enough to understand the difference between real life and make believe. So I was fine with the so called “dark side”. That didn’t concern me. It was the garbage that I worried about. So I said no to Power Rangers and yes to Courage. Courage was awesome.
@@kittiwhieldon4329 I'd say yes to both, but that depends which PR season you're talking about
@@michaelcinelli4120 I watched maybe one episode of Power Rangers and hated it. Maybe it got better, I don’t know. It was a while back. I also boycotted Barney. Yuck. It was popular when my kids were little too but I didn’t want them turning out to be mindless phonies so I just said no. I’m certain that a lot of other parents disagreed with my choices. I said yes to Courage, Invader Zim, The Addams Family and Harry Potter, among others. None of my kids are psychopaths, as far as I know, so maybe I chose wisely? Idk. At least they are intelligent free thinkers.
@@kittiwhieldon4329 Believe me, it did; quality may vary, but (barring Overdrive, Megaforce, and Super Megaforce) it never gets dumber/more corny than Mighty Morphin
lol when you beat the devil you get the achievement "Swing You Sinner" also the level is called "One Hell of a Time!"
_What did you learn, Timmy?_
*Timmy:* "I pooped myself."
I played cuphead this has to be like the main cartoon they took inspiration from. And yes I can definitely see how they imagined how the bosses would be based on their movements.
Can you do a dark Toons on Thomas & Friends Stepney gets lost please
Good choice. Direct him to the Alec Baldwin narration.
thanks do you like that episode

Do New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh's "Sorry, Wrong Slusher" episode. It is so fever dream eerie and atmospheric. And it has just the surreal wrongness of Tigger, Pooh and friends all talking about serial killers, (ala a "slusher film" which is Tigger's term for a slasher movie.) They also go to the big house!

A brawl is surely brewing
A couple of suggestions: First, The Twisted Tales Of Felix The Cat, a '90s SatAM series where Felix gets put into a Fleischer-esque surreal world. Second: two cartoons by Harmon and Ising for MGM: Bottles and Peace On Earth. The former scared the crap out of me as a child, and is as creepy as the Fleischer spooky cartoons. The latter is more a creepy premise: Humanity killed itself off completely because of war, and the animals inherited the Earth.
dark toon recommendation- PINGU RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME
NOOT NOOT!
(5:46) Whomever organized this graveyard CLEARLY has been hitting the sauce too hard!
Gonna throw in Donald and the Gorilla, the Disney Sleepy Hollow, Duck Amuck, and Marooned from Ren and Stimpy. Not scared of these...no I loved em...but yeah these are perfect fo Dark Toons.
Omg...I forgot the Casper episode where he makes a friend with a fox cub and then it DIES at the end and becomes a ghost fox. Wtf ....end edit.
Duck Amuck isn't dark at all. It's just funny.
@@Goldstar_ yeah its funny but imagine if you suddenly had everything you know suddenly spiral out of control and you are basically under a mad god's control. A different kind of dark.
@@ladymikochan I'd classify that as more twisted than dark, but to each their own.
@@Goldstar_ Indeed! :)
Not many dark episodes from *Ed, Edd, n' Eddy* I can think of, but one episode I'd say is dark is *The Day the Ed Stood Still.* It's like a monster movie; a really, really good one, though.
Yes! This one is pretty awesome because you don't even see Ed in his monster costume until near the very end of the episode--and it's terrifyingly awesome.
Don't mean to spam this everytime there is a knew one but what about "K'Nuckles is a filthy rat" from Flapjack or SB-129 from Spingebob Squarepants
He could do a lot of videos on Flapjack
*new. 'knew' is the past tense of know.
@@Silverstar_ yeah mbad
This is honestly one of my favourites of Fleischer's. Song's catchy, too.
Not to familiar with this fleischer cartoon , this should be a fascinating watch.
It's definitely a fascinating watch. One of my favorite Fleisher cartoons.
Oh yeah this is a gem. One of the most surreal and creepy classic toons I’ve seen.
It actually does have a story, not an important one but if you listen to the lyrics some ghosts say “You’ll never rob another hen house” “Chickens you used to steal” “Craps you used to shoot” “Girls you used to chase” and more, This cartoon was directed towards children, to teach them what not to do, especially during the Great Depression where the world was suffering and danger was very high
"Just look at that background!" *Immediately cuts away from background and never returns to that scene*
Doug, just a recommendation but please cut down on the jump cuts. Do a little more voice-over and show, don't tell. It's hard for the audience to see what you're talking about if the audience literally cannot see what you're talking about without rewinding.
He probably does it to avoid copyright
If he show the whole cartoon it's possible he'd might get copyright charged
@@KingExalted Not with this one though. It's public domain, like most Fleischer shorts were. It's possible that concern has become his impulse though.
@@gluttonousmaximus9048 Ah understandable
I’m glad The Fleischer Brothers (god I hope I spelled that right.) are getting the recognition they deserve. There’s nothing like cartoons from the 1930s
Also while we’re on the topic of dark toons.
Ed Edd n Eddy The Day the Ed Stood Still: Brilliant parody of a monster movie with some amazing build up and some legitimately terrifying moments.
Teen Titans Haunted: One of the most uncomfortable superhero cartoon episodes but I mean that in the best way. Shows how a villain can psychologically torture a hero to the point of insanity.
Spongebob Nasty Patty: Spongebob and Mr. Krabs think they’ve killed a guy and try to hide the body..............do I even need say more?
Side note on Nasty Patty: I know Viacom is a bit of a bitch when it comes to copyrighting but I’m sure Doug can find a way to make this episode happen.
I want to see episodes from The Real Ghostbusters Ragnarok and Roll
The Real Ghostbusters isn't a little kids' show. It's not a surprise for a show like Ghostbusters, which was based on a PG movie about paranormal exterminators, to get dark.
@@Silverstar_ He did Zim
This is the one I Suggested for Doug to review months ago!
No Wonder Cuphead is Dark! And Scary!!!
Another Fleischer short that could be a good choice was I found out about years ago called "Koko's Earth Control". In it, Koko and Bimbo discover the planet's control panel, where they can make earthquakes, control the weather, make the sun rise and set, etc., then they discover a button to destroy the world, and naturally, via shenanigans, it gets pushed.
I'm going into film study, anything that I should know on how to not f up a story Mr. Walker?
Edit: Or anyone who has some advice.
Don't be Michael Bay
@@shadow55552 Believe me, I'll try.
@@shadow55552 🤣You said don't be Michael bay I'm weak!
Don’t be Roundhead Johnson, jar jar Abrahms, the director of the female ghostbusters, or any other notoriously bad director
I can think of a few things on about not to mess up a story. Understand the characters and how they relates to the plot and premise that you came up with. Establish the tone in the first a few words or a few images and carry them throughout your story. Finally, read from the masters of the craft so you can experiment and find your own voice in storytelling.
Halloween is Grinch Night could make for a good episode. The wild surreal art and how the music swells leading to the ending of that special has stayed with me and probably lots of other people over the years.
The original version of Betty boop was really young, which is kind of uncomfortable because of how sexualized she is
At some point in her development she was also originally a poodle (edit: had this typed before Doug made mention of it. Sorry for the redundancy, just wanted to share)
Yeah, the perspectives and morals changed over time, so not only does she change from an anthro dog to a human, her age was also increased so that she wasn’t a young girl anymore but an adult woman.
@@gothicMCRgirl In a relationship with a dog man.
I'm an older viewer (64) but still remember a Looney Tunes, Daffy Duck short that was pure nightmare fuel when I was a kid. It's called "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" with Daffy playing DucK Tracy. It has such an unusual and dark tone that for years I thought I just dreamed I had seen it when I was a little kid, but then I saw it again and HOLY CRAP! it was as disturbing as I remembered.
Just thought you might like to take a look at it for your series.
jblease classic shorts😎
I couldn't sleep when I watched that cartoon when I was younger
Felix the Cat Bold King Cole
I'm scared of Ghosts and Thunderstorms
Yes! Ive been waiting for this one pretty much since the beginning of this series
Damn, last time I was this early I went to some camp in Poland and some German guy tattooed a bunch of numbers on my arm
These cartoons led to my appreciation of '30s jazz.
has Doug played cuphead?
elephantfan yes he has in CAs twitch sessions
Yes they both have live on our Twitch channel +Dream Master
Channel Awesome hey why weren’t malcolm and Tamara in last nights episode wasnt last weeks a solo episode too?
I cant wait to see him react to the cup head show
I watch that it was my favorite 1930 cartoon show
NC DO A DARKTOON'S EP FROM GRAVITY FALLS THERE ARE A LOT OF EP'S FROM SEASON 2 U COULD PICK FROM.
He and Rob did reviews for each episode. They’ve got a playlist. Watch as Rob slowly descends into madness. And sweaters...
@@sewthernbelle SCREW OFF
@@sewthernbelle I loved watching their vlogs!! Im showing Gravity Falls to one of my best friends who never watched any disney shows. Shes having a blast!!
Joseph Clayton Looks like the circus is in town
@@risottopose9970 SHUT UP
I'm glad that you brought up the fact that those old cartoons shown in movie theaters were meant for adults as well as children. I was young woman when the USA got the idiotic notion that cartoons were ONLY for children. I spent so many years gritting my teeth at cut versions of cartoons I'd seen uncut when I was a child or newer shows that were watered down because violence wasn't something kids should be seeing.
Spongebob Square Pants episode: "Nasty Patty". That's all I have to say.
Viacom doesn't know free use.
That didn't stop him from doing that Invader Zim one earlier.
really that the "creepy ep u went with"
Early 30's cartoons were trippy as heck! Especially ones like this where there's very little plot--basically just an excuse to animate the title song in a very abstract manner.
Maybe not dark enough: The Halloween Tree (1993 - Hey that rhymed!)
Critics facial expressions are what fill my nightmares. I think its the constant untrustworthy smiling he does.
