Really enjoyed this. It's been decades since I last saw Feebles. I have seen it on the big screen, though (and Bad taste and Braindead). Jackson's first three films were smash hits on the film festival circuit back in the '80s.
It's one of the most messed up movies ever. But it really grew on me, PJ has a fascinating mind. When I first heard he was to make LOTR I thought - The guy that made Braindead?!
It's funny he mentions the prerecorded audio. I think one of the worst, cheapest looking parts of the movie is how everyone's mouth moves too much when they're speaking. That explains why. I'm pretty sure some Muppet audio is recorded live via headset mics and stuff.
from the imdb trivia section for the movie: "The production team could not get hold of blank rounds for the M60 machine gun that Heidi the Hippo uses in the film. Therefore, in the climactic ending when Heidi goes on a murderous rampage, the firearm she uses was discharging live ammunition."
@@guidadiehl9176Exactly! The actor playing the hippo even shoots directly at the camera, without breaking the glass. Do you HONESTLY think the film company would allow the director to play with peoples LIVES like that??? 🫥 That's the reason MTF are ignored by 99% of worlds people, because you make them believe that people were in life threatning situations for real, involving a heavy machine gun!
@@malloidI don't think most kids would. It has a very creepy feeling to it despite the edgy humor being the primary focus. I'd almost call it a horror movie masquerading as a comedy
For Jackson to be so creative as a child... his mind is GENIOUS!
I still own my VHS of this amazing film, I will never throw it away! Wow young Richard Taylor looks like Joe Lycett!

Thanks for uploading, this behind the scenes is a treasure and inspiring. Never thought I'd see behind the scenes from this amazing film
To be fair this films strange but the detail,story and dialouge is amzing
one of my favourite films
Great character good watch ❤❤❤
I honestly would love to wear that heidi suit.
Young Peter Jackson is so cute!
Have, of course, seen it. A long time ago. But bought it on dvd just a couple of weeks ago. 😀

You'd be wrong, they also use pre-recorded audio, as is the standard with all puppets. It keeps thing on que & everyone in sync.
@@J0SHUAKANE well then they have infinitely better audio editors.... And probably like 40 of them lol
not a bug - a feature!
@@J0SHUAKANEno most of it is live, most of the prerecorded stuff they do is just for musical numbers
This Jackson guy has a lot of potential. I look forward to seeing what he makes in the future.
It's weird to see Peter Jackson's movie making evolve from NOW AND THEN. (See what I did there?)
still wanna know if they used real bullets to shoot the puppets at the finale lol
They probably used squibs
@@sonicfreak04 i refuse to believe this 😭

It most certainly isn't! It is wonderfully, hilariously obscene though. Most kids would love it!

where is this documentary sourced from? is it on the vhs release of the film? cheers for the upload
It was screened on an early morning TV show in New Zealand back in 1989 and as far as I know it has never been released anywhere else.
The whale 28 pounds puppeteer puppets makes
Does anyone know what happened to the Limousine?
They probably either sold it off for use with someone else or scrapped it.
Why did it end so abruptly?
It was only supposed to be a short film
