Channel Awesome Hello to you
Channel Awesome That's all we can remember! It's like Tentacolino levels of oddness!

This actually gave me nightmares as a kid when I saw it in the 80s
Channel Awesome No, you remembered it so I didn't have to. DUH!
"How'd she squeeze him out?" That's nothing, how's the princess gonna squeeze him IN?
I'm going to hell.
Get in your corner and think about what you said! X3
Lol!!!! Your comment made my day!!!
Tzisorey Tigerwuf I'm pretty sure Tulip's adopted; I mean, the witch does intend to get rid of him once she has the crown...
Also, maybe Tulip's got a baby penis.
♪ _Looks like you got a baby penis_ ♪
I'm Very Angry It's Not Butter!! Too-doo-doo-doo BABY PENUS!!!
Looks like you've got a BABY PENUS!!!
Dude, could you imagine if the Zelda CDI crew animated this movie? That would be both horrifying and hilarious.
"Dad? why was she a robot? was she a robot all the time?"
"... I don't get it either son"
think my answer to any question about this movie would be just "yes" followed by a loving smile.
Now i noticed something the queen wants his son to marry her daughter, pratically incest, which she is okay and the princess is completely okay with jack killing her brother and her mother almost making her have a incestual marriage
Ditto
I guess the giant had Psycho issues,he created the robots for himself
so let me get this straight a robotic witch married...
something and they had a giant and a completely normal human girl as son and daughter ?
"My parents were destroyed by an evil witch. I don't think about it, it's been a long time."
That line delivery killed me.
It's the like the shaky line delivery in the "Speed Racer" English dubs: They just say the line within the span of the speaking animation while disregarding the quality of the delivery.

Me: "Oh, at least she's coped with it."
🎶Exposition, Exposition Rush it out asap🎶
Julio Shoe Jack face after that line killed me lol
Lol "I just joined a cult and it's going great!"
“You’re just a lazy, good for nothing lump of blah. You look like something someone left out in the rain.”

"A dog is singing, I shouldn't be that critical!"
yyyeah, somebody forgot about a certain rapping dog on a sinking ship.
well, all animals did talk in that movie, but in this movie the dog sings but no other animal sings or talks. so you could say the rapping dog is ATLEAST wierd

you can't compare this to the animated titanic... in there it was the fact that rap was not a thing anyone did in the age of titanic, and especially not dogs.
we got no idea what timeline this is "Jack and the Beanstalk" takes place in, or if it even know itself.

PARTY TIME ITS PARTY TIME!
The character designs don't even look like they belong in the same cartoon together ... did each character have their own animator, or was the animator just really, *really* high???
Kenzi Bat It could be. Disney always animate like that by having different teams handling the characters animation. So maybe other companies do it too.
Interesting. Still doesn't excuse Princess Margaret from looking like a creepy dead-eyed puppet person, even when she's not hypnotized, but then again that's a separate issue I have with the film :3
its not a qustion if the animators was high, only how high were they.
Nekogami-Crystal I'm guessing they were so high they managed to reach the top of the beanstalk.
Kenzi Bat amazing world of gumball prototype?
Nostalgia Critic: "Japan's 197..."
Say no more , I already understand.
So this is the result of anime meeting drugs.
Kyle Shea This is before the time of Flocka. Back then it was all ecstasy... and salvia... and a pinch of weed.
Larry Fitzgerald Godzilla vs Megalon. more weird Japan 1970s stuff
Godzilla vs hedorah too
Yeah 70's (and some 80's) anime was weird. I mean I love Cutie Honey and series 2 Lupin, there was a lot of weird moments in those episodes. But that's also one of the reasons why I like them so much.

"My parents were destroyed by an evil witch... It's been a long time, I'm happy now." **stares up at clearly nothing**
That was the first real moment where I laughed to myself like an insane person asking "what the fffuck~"
Jacks face is a perfect reaction to the whole movie.
Chris so did madam Heckuba told her to say that if so that's messed up
It's not a wedding without the swaying green paper people.
SyberiaWinx indeed, I want them at my wedding.
+beatrix the great ARE YOU HAPPY?!?
So that's what I did wrong!
SyberiaWinx ikr
That's what I want at my wedding. Green paper people swaying with a priest singing "ARE YOU HAPPYY?" The whole church tripping out would be great too
That "Are you happy song?" deserves a doom metal cover.
Holy shit yes. RIP AND TEAR!
Someone get Erock Calderone on this, stat.
Or at least to be covered by Ghost

"My parents were killed. Now I shall sing a song about being happy."
So.........
Disney?
@@lornacottam9416 I'm just waiting for her to start singing about-
🎵A Whole New World!

No one's happier than I ~ I feel like reaching out to touch the sky ~
Reverse Lion King
Batman: The Musical
"She looks like every Disney witch if she'd been stretched on a rack and fed despair."
That is the most accurate description in the history of descriptions.
Dazzle True
She looks scary beyond all reasonable measure....
And also a little like Esma from the Emporers New Groove
Ryan Smith You screwed up the reference. It's "beyond all reason."
Ryan Smith You didn't even spell Yzma right. And I'm pretty sure she insisted on plastering it everywhere in big bold letters when she took over the kingdom.
Dazzle Despair? Junko Enoshima would be happy to hear that.
3:46 - That far-away, uncomfortably-still shot, the bizarre music(?), even the princess slowly pushing that cloud away-- that's masterfully unsettling.
that's the point, its like psycadellic songs
It really reminded me of Serial Experiments Lain. If you like stuff like that you should definitely check it out. Oldie but goldie.
That was my favorite part
I agree. Lain is a good show for those moments~
Also 11:25 and 9:30-9:34.
The song "No one's happier than I" when the beanstalk was cut down was clearly a response to the "Are you happy?!"
Put it at the ending theme of Berzerk.
lmao
I think you mean "Are you hapPEEY?!"
You'll be oh so hapPEEY "if you just say yeESSS!"
“Are you HAPPY?!?!”
No! I’m genuinely scared and confused as well as unable to express my terror through screaming, cause that wouldn’t do it justice!
Same lol
To be honest I want more of these mini-reviews. It feels a lot like the classic Nostalgia Critic and he can take on more obscure and smaller films that don't really warrant a full review. Like the animated animal version of Tom Sawyer.
Net Spectre And they somehow got Betty White and Don Knotts to voice two of the characters. On a similar note, I'd love if NC could review an animated all animal David Copperfield that came out in 1993.
If you are referring to Rover Dangerfield or w/e it was called, he reviewed it already.
+Net Spectre I think I remember the movie that you're talking about. Wasn't it the one with the purple slimy monsters called "the Mouldies" that lived in the sewers and were covered with moulded cheese but used to be the orphans that worked in Murdstone's cheese factory?
+crystalfairy912 That would be a good review to see I had the movie as a kid and remember liking it. That and Bucky O'Hare and the Ketchup Vampires. I can't be the only one nostalgic for badly dubed East German children's programming.
Or Russian Snow Queen. Or Alice in Wonderland VHS. With MrT
That wedding scene is genuinely disturbing.
I agree, i wouldn't be surprised if i get nightmares thanks to that scene
ARE YOU HAPPYYYY!!!
Sian Waller I don't know I low-key kind of like that song. It sounds like a top notch villain song from the Disney Renaissance.
Paper Priest: "Are you HAPPY?"
Martin: "YES!!!"
Sian Waller
Common theme with the last weddings I been to.
At least nobody died in this one.
"Japan's 1974-"
Aw, shit, I ALREADY know shit's gonna get weird. Japan? In the 70's? Strap yourselves in, children, we're going on a WILD ride!
kyotheman69 true that
kyotheman69 mm-hmm
my favorate anime is Doraemon whats yours
ROFL! Exactly :P
icecream hero fullmetal alchemist brotherhood
The boy ate the "magic beans" and fell into a drug-induced coma, and this was all a hallucinogenic dream. THAT'S the most logical explanation for all of this!
I think you’re on to something actually! I would be surprised if that was the actual plot, it would also explain the guy who gave him the bean’s laughter which actually makes the rest of the film rather cohesive
I'm sure like 1000 other weeaboos have already mentioned this, but just to make sure you catch it:
The "Are you happy" scene makes sense when viewed with the lens of Japanese lore.
The paper people are based off of Onmyodo, or a type of Japanese mysticism. Supposedly in lore, the paper dolls can be used to take the appearance or place of a human in the mind of the victim. The Victim under the spell will see the vaguely human shape of the paper doll and assume it is human. This can likewise be used to trick spirits.
Taking that fact into consideration, it becomes fairly obvious that the wavy texture of the voice, the eccentric nature of the people involved, and the song, seem to indicate that the Witch is using magic on the girl, and the trippy visuals are meant to represent that.
The high inflection on the speech though, I can only venture a guess, but I'm willing to bet that the original Japanese voice had that same inflection, as it's common "weirdo" speech pattern. It was probably the English cast taking that into account for whatever reason.
That being said, if I had seen this as a child and not a giant man-child weeb, I probably would have thought I was on acid.
kaitengiri Ohhh....
I still don't get it.
Now it makes sense.... I don't like this
What do you mean? I'm not terribly familiar with Japanese lore, but I'd like to know.
Oh sure. I edited my post using scripting magic. There should be a link that says "read more" underneath my sentences now. Just click that, and through the magic of Computer Wizardry™, it shall tell you what you need to know.
kaitengiri when you want attention, so you actually accept the role of weaboo, so you can call yourself that and generate reactions like mine
For the love of all that is holy, I beg of you, please review the roller coaster of insanity that is "The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars."
I have no idea what that is and I want to see that.
The first one was trippy enough, now send it to space...
Erik Schwab I loved those movies but that one in particular just made me swear off these movies as a kid. It just creeped me out.
I think he talked about it in one of his old Doug Walker videos. Unfortunately can't remember which one.
he went to mars?how did I miss that?
I can actually get the green trippy wedding hell.
This is the way this princess sees the world.
Since she's hypnotized and stuff.
So she sees that every day?! Dear god!
Why do you think she is so terrified?^^
If you don't know it, in Japanese folklore there's a thing called SHIKIGAMI, they're basically a sorcerer's familiar, they are some sort of spirits that the sorcerer conjure and bound to paper origami
I LOVE THE WEDDING SCENE..MOST OF ALL! and the song for some reason!
I LOVE CREEPY FORCE WEDDING PLOTS!
♚ QUEEN OF OBSCURE PAIRINGS ♚ me too! Do you have any suggestions for me to watch :) ?
Fun fact: the voice actress who played Jack in this movie was also the voice of Kimba the White Lion.
Sarah Barker and Astro Boy.
HMM SUSPICIOUS
@@yusashow You can tell that its an actress because Jack walks really week with very female moves.
She also was the voice of Eustence's mom from Courage the Cowardly dog.
@@matthewbuckley7757 yeah then she died in 2001
The writers forgot they were supposed to plant the magic beans, not smoke them.
Aren't fairytale adaptations beautiful.
🤣
The animators actually did plant the beans…the just cut off some beanstalk vines and did those instead!🤣
"Well, the message of this movie is very straightforward... fear..."
Goddamn, that's an understatement.
In my personal opinion...the real moral of the story here is don't let ABSOLUTE FEAR control you and what you decide to do with your life. That or the moral is life technically has no solid morals and we should all be very afraid.
It's probably explained in the manga
its always explained in the manga
I honestly perfer the UK translation of the Franco-Belgian Visual Novel adaption of the Manga as it clears up the internal story logic and adds a much more Enriching mythology and secondary characters. Sad the Canadian animated version is simply on VHS.
+Marylandbrony
........ Are you joking? I honestly can't tell if you're joking. I mean, I would HONESTLY not be surprised if this was some really effing weird visual novel thing that went through several different versions or something.
Damnit. Every Time!
dracocrusher You must be reading the 1992 edition. It gave it a then trendy but now dated art style and aimed for a "PG-13" rating for a largely PG work. It added like 90 pages of unnecessary flier and violence that disrupted the pacing and lead to character derailment.
The entire thing is explained by “from Japan”. It feels like the Japanese were trying to pay homage to American animation (especially with the roadrunner sequence), but of course little anime-isms slipped in, and some things were lost in translation/culture. The paper people are shikigami I assume, kind of like the paper that chases Haku around in Spirited away. I don’t know the full lore, but they have to do with spirits and possession.
Marie Frazier there is also the way japan portrays magic. They are not fond of the “snap your fingers and things happen” but ritualistic magic with tools and illusions, hence everything Hecuba did required something. Like a soup to put jack to sleep, a smelly balm to hipnotize Margaret, shikigamis to make a fake wedding, even in the end when confronting jack it felt like she wanted to trap him in another illusion.
In the wedding scene the princess is also the only one standing still while everything else warps and bends. I guess it's intended to show how her perception is influenced by the witch's magic.

This piece is so masterfully creepy. The odd, organized music In still frames makes me cringe. The marriage scene, gives me chills. Like the flowing scary paper men, asking are you happy? My favorite was when he first,sets the princess, she sits there with a blank stare and pushes away a cloud. That was. TERRIFYING.
If you don't think it was all on purpose, then you don't know cinema. I believe that this movie might be one of the greatest things of all time
To be honest, considering the style she's drawn in I expected the cloud to change shape to a tentacle or two.
It didn’t scare me but to each their ethical own.
10:37 I can explain it, Those paper things are the same kind of paper dolls in Spirited Away, They are Shikigami, they are basically spirit energy bound to paper to complete a simple task, in this case, to simulate a wedding. But they have no soul, no mind, no thoughts, just paper animated by magic so they can imitate people, but only in the way a person that doesn't understand Russian can imitate speaking it, maybe he can pronounce the words but its missing all the subtlety and life to it. I would feel strange and disjointed, like everything they do is in the uncanny valley.
To sum up everything, the witch is using magic to make paper dolls come to life to perform the wedding, probably for her son more then anything else.
Even without knowledge of what a shikigami is there shouldn't be anything too confusing about the witch staging a wedding with fake people and priest.
I want to believe Doug is just overplaying his confusion for comedy sake, but seeing out-of-character reviews he does sometimes where he seems absolutely confused by everything that's not explained through exposition (and sometimes, confused by shit that was explained and he didn't pay attention) I'm starting to think he really has trouble following anything.
Yes, I agree. And I feel like it is also the explanation for why her remains are mechanical when the giant steps on her. She was an evil witch spirit, inhabiting the body of one of the mechanical toys, using an illusion to make it seem as though she was real in that form, but due to what you described, she could not help but seem creepy and unnaturally uncanny valley. It was all about the perception of the characters, rather than how things actually were, until the spell was broken and her evil essence came out in the form of black smoke. The real twist is that we actually think it is only the princess who has been misguided by an illusion, because we follow the main character's view of things.
And I also don't feel that it doesn't come out of nowhere that Tulip steps on here. There is the scene where he squishes the toy, for one and his mother was abusive towards him during the whole movie. It was a nice way of killing her I think.
But if she was just inhabiting toy bodies, then who gave birth to the giant?
Wow that's fascinating actually.
That "are you happy" scene was more scary than 90% of horror movies that came out recently
Honestly the "Are You Happy" scene is quite thrilling when you take in account the purposeful eerie feeling and epic background, I feel like that scene could be as iconic as the "Elephant Parade" in Dumbo.
Chucky: I am the most scary
Freddy: no, I am
…..: amateurs

@@_thedarkmatter_ true, I should have put it like that
We're watching 70's Japanese animated movies. Buckle up, kids.
At least it isn't Lily Cat or Wicked City....just let that sit with you for a while
The 70’s was a weird decade. I believe this movie was made to be like western animation.
At least we have an Alice movie made in the 70’s that I own instead of the Disney version on DVD surprisingly.
In fact, I own the VHS version of the Alice Disney movie. Fortunately the DVD versions I wanted wasn’t the remake nor the Cinematronic mockbuster.
This one is still NOTHING compared to one even more disturbing animated Japanese movie I watched when I was a kid. One SO forgotten there's no official English title or translation, I watched it in Italy. I THINK the Italian title would translate to "When the Dinosaurs lived". The movie basically goes like this; 2 teenagers and an annoying kid are taken back in time by some God-like entity, I can't remember exactly why it called out to them and made them do that, and they try to survive in the Dinosaur age. They are relentlessly hunted down by a Godzilla sounding T-rex who CONSTANTLY kills something on-screen (yeah, there's legit LOTS of blood here), and then at some point they reach a neanderthal village where they take part in some ritualistic sacrifice to a God the village worships, it turns out to be the T-rex, and then the whole village kills the t-rex by throwing endless spears at it. I don't think I can describe how gruesome the scene was, and how unbelievably chaotic it felt with loud music and random strange imagery. Almost made me feel bad about the t-rex, because then wounded to the brink of near death, the t-rex walks a LONG distance to the beach bleeding like a Russian princess and collapses in the water.
The part where Critic says "you're just like ARE YOU HAPPEEEE??? ARE YOU HAPPEEEE???" Has me in tears, because I played that scene for my co-workers the other day, and now we all can't stop singing that line 😂😂😂.
Nice 😂
Can you imagine if every song that had the word "happy" and "you"in it was sang like how the priest did? Like, 🎶If you're HAPPEEEE and YYYOOUUU know it, clap your hands 👏👏. If you're HAPPEEEE and YYYOOUUU know it, and YYYOOUUU really wanna show it, if you're HAPPEEEE and YYYOOUUU know it clap your hands! 👏👏🎶

this feels like classic Nostalgia Critic
Just came down here to see if anyone else noticed too. You did!
yes!, this was one of the best reviews in a long time!!. he is at his best without all the theatrics, costumes and characters. his best stuff are reviews like this.
this is so nice, isn't it. but it's probably not going to last.
You guys it's an editorial, not a review. It's only a review when it has the full opening. The short opening means editorial.
His last review, Clockstoppers, was just like his classic reviews and even made fun of the fact that his recent reviews have either had too many skits and greenscreen or have been entirely based on a skit gone on too long. Are we finally getting classic one liner Nostalgia Critic back?!
"Every Disney witch if she was stretched on a rack, and fed despair" Yeah, that is accurate
The Giant killed his mother, because she had always treated him poorly. The scene was foreshadowed by him crushing the toy of her.
but since the mother was also a robot - did he really crush a toy of her or tiny equivalents of her existence?
We get that part, but we still don't get why the whole time she was a robot.
@@flamrage3743 maybe the giant is the real mastermind/boss and he was just using tiny hecuba robots to further is goals
EDIT: or he killed the real hecuba a while back and hes using hecubots to keep the plan going but after it failed he had no reason to keep getting insulted by it
@@mr.chrisr-c3767 good theory, but it still doesn't make sense in that if he had that much power, why use the robots at all? It would've been easier to use his influence to brainwash the princess' followers the way that she was brainwashed. He could then use them to further his agenda.

Damn this is refreshing. No skits, no cutaways, just NC reviewing a fucking fever dream of a movie. Also real talk, I think that "are you happy" scene might be the best representation of my surreal-ass dreams. I actually really like it.
I prefer this too, it's like the old way Doug would review movies. I really miss this style
He always had skits...the only difference was that there were no actors, it doesn't make any sense when people say that. It's how long they are, not that they're there.
Christ.....he literally just had a review last week with practically no skits! I swear, people act like he never does videos like these anymore.
RetroGamerAaron
Really? Well what about Garfield 2? Labyrinth? Spy Kids? The Looney Tunes Movies?! All of these were done in the past year.
And while many others do have skits, there's actually a lot of them that don't focus on them too much. Some of them only have a couple, and only last a few seconds, much like the skits in his older reviews!
While 5 minutes is probably an exaggeration...the length of them always varied. Even back then.

oOEvensenOo, too late. See the string of comments for this video.
It's like a combination of Jack and the Beanstalk, Suspiria, and The Shining, even though it's not a horror movie.
I'll be honest. The visuals look really cool.
They are pretty damn good......
looks like something Ozzy would make when he was sniffing what ever he was sniffing
I'd even throw in some Miyazaki. Spirited Away and Castle of Cagliostro for certain.
With a sprinkle of Pink Floyd's The Wall.
Also slightly Return to Oz. TBH, surreal horror fantasy is a genre with lots of potential.
As soon as you said Japan, that was all I needed to know about this show's weirdness.
Same. I'm a fan of anime and this is just weird.
Is it sad that I found this almost normal to me? I've seen so many weird things that I am immune to them....
I guess this is Japan's version of butchering American/Hollywood films. Probably why Hollywood retaliated with Dragonball Evolution and Speed Racer.
Muimui you do realize that this is not an American story, right?
well something tells me I never want to visit Japan after seeing this weird Jack and the Beanstalk film.ARE YOU HAPPY!!!
I dunno why, but the princess pushing away the cloud should be a meme. Maybe where the cloud is it could say "incoming deadline for homework".

The fact that the dog has never spoken before his song and never speaks again after? Can you say, "Big-Lipped Alligator Moment"?
Michael Harrington Misspelled miracle.
Michael Harrington well technically no, two factors make an alligator moment, no ones speaks of it again, but it does nothing to advance the plot. The song convinced the little jerk to become the hero. So it's a half gator moment if anything.
This whole movie is a big lipped alligator moment
This is US-only. The dog speaks through the whole film in the original language and other countries.

At least it's a singing dog and not a rapping dog
Y'know, I think I prefer the rapping dog. A horrible rap I can laugh at, but a horrible singing voice makes my eardrums try to kill themselves.

This reminds me adventure time
Hecuba is my favourite. Don't know why, she just was the ultimate creepy witch from when I was a kid. Any woman I saw in real life or on the screen who was tall and thin, dressed in black and seeming to glide was dubbed Hecuba. Especially if she had an impossibly large son, who naturally got named Tulip. Ah!
Pity you didn't talk about Hecuba's second musical number though! Her joyful ditty when distributing her paper guests in the chapel.
Find that and reply with a link. I have to see this insanity
She reminded me of morticia addams
Her entrance into this cartoon is the most terrifying entrance ever.
@@anotherbloodyfanwriter1941 Two years late but here! ruclips.net/video/otHVQVdcvIM/видео.html
Hecuba is definitely the creepiest childhood villain in my opinion. (She also happens to be my favourite due to nostalgia.)
The princess having "I just joined a cult" eyes makes sense as she is being enchanted with a warped perception of reality. The papermen can be inferred to be magic puppets used because the illusion needs some vaguely humanoid figure to disguise as something else. I'm shit out of guesses for everything else thought.
Gorinich Serpant The robot smashing was foreshadowing. Breaking the princess' spell gave the giant the courage to stand up to and squish Hecuba
I am addicted to that f*ck ed up wedding now. The lyrics are actually quite nice! Basis for a pretty decent marriage...HOWEVER.
I'm at a wedding lol
McCammalot are you hApPY?
When you're tripping on some serious drugs while animating and reading classic stories....
This movie would have terrified me as a kid
I mean, it’s a 1970’s Japanese adaptation of a 300 year old fairy tale about a little boy who robs a giant blind before destroying his house and murdering him in cold blood, leaving the giant’s wife, the only nice character, a widow. What did you expect?
True
That description is gold. lol
"the giant’s wife, the only nice character" - I mean...that's until you come across the versions where she "seduces" Jack (and yes, you can take the meaning of "seduces" however you like...and bear in mind that Jack is commonly depicted as a pubescent child) and uses the items he eventually steals each time he goes up the beanstalk to convince him to stay in the castle until her husband comes specifically so that Jack can be eaten by said husband...
I thought Nostalgiaween wasn't for another 5 months?
"This looks like a song for the dog" truer words have never been spoken
Boomer will sing.
Oh wait, does this qualify as a "Big Lipped Alligator Moment"?
+That Other Guy BOOMER WILL LIVE!
I remember seeing this on HBO when I was a kid, back when HBO didn't have a huge library. After coming across a videotape of it at a closing Video Rental store, I then tried to explain the story to my wife and kids - who I think really started to question my sanity. I was able to find a copy of it on RUclips and showed it to them. Cue horrified reactions.
I think it was both on HBO and on Disney for some occasions, but mainly HBO.
'None of this is explained, it's all just pure madness"
Oh just like my sex life...........
Pretend that I never said that.
IT IS LIKE THE MAKERS OF THIS MOVIE TAKE ALOT OF DRUGS
A big lipped alligator moment!
Jack and the Beanstalk: Batshit insane, but I'd recommend watching it.
Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: Batshit insane, stay away from it!
That's something I would love an editorial on. When does weirdness work or not?
Ness in Pajamas that would be awesome
Ness in Pajamas this needs to be a top comment for doug to see
Actually, I'm surprised he hasn't yet.
Ness in Pajamas I think the Sonic one is thoughtless and stupid. this isn't immature and brain numbingly stupid it's just odd.
You forgot to mention Tone Loc's eating song.
who else is going to be walking around all week like "are you happyy"
Go read one of my comments to see my answer!
Dog: Hi, Jack! Find your soulmate!
Jack: You can talk! How come you never said anything before?!
Dog: Woof Woof!
ThatGothicChick Sometimes it just takes a singing dog.
a TAL-king DO-o-OG?!
ThatGothicChick I just did
To be fair, in other versions of the movie, the dog DOES speak in other scenes. See the original Japanese version.
Ya know what I would *really* like to see? A greatly expanded version of this story, preferably in book form. Imagine the possibilities, a realm in the clouds, an evil robot witch, monstrous giants. This would have a lot of potential as a major work of fantasy.
This looks like something Ralph Bakshi would make back in the day.
"It's a family picture."
"Are you _happy?_"
I... I need an adult.
I am a adult! and even I am terrified I need a adult as well.
Jason Daley We all need an adult!!!
There is no adult 'adult' enough for that.
Does this give anyone else flashbacks to the wedding from fiddler on the roof?
WILL SOMEONE *PLEASE* GET AN ADULT!
"I'm very confused and a little afraid."
Anime in a very accurate nutshell.
Because Japan.
Pone
(\

Not really
This movie is like the love-child of the original Grinch movie, and the Pink Elephants scene from Dumbo, if it had been conceived while both parents were on crack!
I'm glad that I never saw it.
Not at all, but since you haven't seen it you understandably had to blind-guess. It's tough doing the knowledgeable when you are anything but.
its like if tim burton, steven king, and m night shamalayn directed jack and the beanstalk while on drugs
Also, if Ralph Bakshi had no _s-s-s-studio_ to fuck things up.
david gold No, *that* would make some semblance of *sense*.
david gold And were Japanese
After watching a marathon of David Lynch movies.
That's eerily true. Are we sure this WASN'T made by them? I'm a bit suspicious now.
"Find it on youtube"
DAMN RIGHT! Whoever sayed that piracy is a crime hasnt seen that price
It's still a crime.
Still, remember that the law and justice are not the same thing.
ΝΙΚΟΣ ΝΙΚΟΣ it's why I support people who pirate Disney. Limiting releases so badly by their "Disney Vault" causing price gouging on Amazon and the like for their movies is bullshit!
it's only a crime if you get caught
Nostalgia Critic should know better! How would he like it if someone uploaded the Anniversary Specials on RUclips!
...Wait.
Piracy's a crime, but so is that price. The only question is, which is a bigger crime?
"It's made from the finest virgins..."
Excuse me?
Brought to you by Pepsi, "Know any virgins?"
@@Reapermaskhybrid Got Milk?
@@Reapermaskhybrid "But those are extinct species" - Dorian
Pepsi. No any virgins?
Virgins are just bad in bed
The song “Are You Happy?” is truly excellent. The whole story of Jack and the Beanstalk is weird. It’s commonly watered down in a lot of adaptations. But it’s a weird story. The Japanese animators perceived the weirdness that was already there, and complemented it. The song “Are You Happy?” is just part of that. Princess Margaret ironically answers the song “Are You Happy?” with her bittersweet song “No One’s Happier Than I.”
Wow!!!! Genius comment! You're totally right!!!!!
ARE YOU HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYY
Emma Reeves
YEERZZ, THEY WELL BE VERRY HEPPY!!
I'm scared!
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
No, I'm very confused and rather afraid!
What is this?!!!
Just your average day in Japan.
Just your average day in mid-70's Japan.
No, if the beanstalk started raping the girl THEN it'll be your average day in Japan
Wasn't there a ghost running around carving up people's faces at that time.
Nope, not enough panty shots.
Your average day in pre-weeaboo Japan.
NC, you should be glad that the dog didn't start rapping.
MartianManHunter2258 it's party time, it's party time!
Yo there is somthing you should know so im gonna tell you so, working all day it's party time, it's party time. Thank goodness this dog did not start rapping or I would have actually thought I was high.
If it hadn't been for you, I would now be in someone else's been-stalk-keng-dem.
You know, there's something you should know, so I'm gonna tell you so,
Don't sweat it, forget it, enjoy the show!
Begging all day...
It's PARTY TIME! PARTY TIME!!!
5:09 T-pose to assert dominance
Better than the "manspreading" pose.
0_0. My god.
I saw this! I must have seen it, I remembered the wedding scene, but not where... !!!
This was one of those hazy memories from way back. I remembered the paper cutout paper people from somewhere, but never where from... Might be before I could read subtitles.
Thank you. A childhood memory had just been explained, and I am reassured I didn't dream up that insanity.
I think I remember this film, I'm not sure...
I remember the song.....oh how I remember that song. Lol XD
I just didn't remember what that crazy song was was exactly from it was a.....cartoon but I didn't know it was a anime movie....I only remember this particular scene from it. Lol
I remember watching it as a kid as well. The part where the old lady was like, applying mind control makeup to the princess stuck in my head forever. Its still there.
*Karm P* I don't think you could dream this madness up without a high fever or *HARD* drugs.
This might be the greatest editorial Doug has ever done. He didn't even pose a question or do any hard analysis, he just spent fifteen minutes pointing out how fucking bizarre and terrifying this obscure cartoon was - and boy was it. I hope he does this again.
Then it's not really an editorial, but I still enjoyed it.
It's an off week, non-review video and it's tagged under "Nostalgia Critic Editorials" on the website, hence why I categorize it as such.
this seems more in the style of one of his old reviews
i liked this video a lot. It's really just a review in his classic style: sitting behind his desk-- no skits or acting
can you even analyze something like this? no i'm being serious, is it possible to analyze this cartoon?
11:17 I guess they're in a HECUBA situation eh?
*slow clap*
TheBagelragel Well, the automatic captions do say "heckuva" (a word I didn't think would be in the voice recognition vocabulary).
After this episode first aired, my friends and I all unanimously agreed we had to find and watch this madness. Boy howdy, it is a ride. We could handle the strange songs (except the one where Jack returns with the gold to his mum, pure ear rape). Other than that, this one was a hoot to watch. So crazy. Made me quite hap- *PY*
the mouse was hot. Dont lie
What movie is this called?
@@jeremykegley1669 Jack And The Beanstalk (1974)
There were two bizarre things when he saw the DVD online
1 it was $300 dollars
2 it was given four and a half stars
Jasper and Josh films I really was paying more attention to the score than the price, so I was confused when he said to watch it on RUclips
Same then I went back to it again and I realised it said it was $300
It is a nostalgic cartoon review without skits. ARE YOU HAPPY?
Yup!
Kacumoto .Kacu yes
Definitely
Yes
happy no, satisfied yes. I prefer this style
7:33 I'm reminded of the spontaneous rapping dog from the Titanic cartoon all of a sudden.
WHERES THE GIANT JAGGER BOTTEL?!?
*_IT'S PARTY TIME, IT'S PARTY TIME!!_*
Wedding scene is genuinely terrifying.
The witch uses fake paper ppl.
I wonder if Pearl's hairdo was inspired by Margaret's
Jean Thornton
I hope not...Pearl deserves better than that.
Since the Nostalgia Critic mention weird things that were common in our childhood, I'm going to share a story. When I was young and grew up post-9/11 my mom told me that if I was bad, Osama Bin Ladin would appear out of thin air and shoot me with an AK47.
Huy Bii damn, dude. that's fucked up.
My mom used to tell my sister if she was bad she'd be turned into a mannequin.
1. What?
2. No, seriously, WHAT?!
My mom threw a VHS tape at my face.
I think she got the idea for it in a comedy sketch, but I don't remember what it was.
Jack & the Beanstalk singing dog and Titanic rapping dog collab when?
Nicholas Dolinger tomorrow
Are you happy?
Harry Buttwhisker Do you know de way?
NEVER, PLEASE. O__O
ARE YOU HAPPYYYYYYYYY?!?
These are some of my favorite Nostalgia Critic videos. The reviews of popular movies are also great, but the ones like this where he just finds a completely insane collecting of mad ravings and reviews it are my absolute favorites. Rare comedy gems.
Old kids animes are REALLY focused on kids suffering. There is this one anime about Pinoccio in almost every episode of wich he is being tortured in some way. In one episode in particular i shit you not he get crucified.
Yeah..... I think there there was an episode where he meets aliens in Egypt.... It gets weird, later into the series. The original story itself is nightmare fuel for small kids.
You Remember The Name of it?
old kids anime could get pretty weird, especially if they were made before the American anime craze. I remember my grandma buying me some weird Christian anime as a kid that had a time traveling robot in it.
@@arthas640 I didn't think there was Christian anime
@@gothnerd887 there shouldn't be: its not that good and it gives us a bad name.
Madam Hecuba's appearance kind of reminds me of the Beldam from Coraline, to be honest.
Samantha Wycoff Probably wanted to see buttons over people's eyes too.
Oh my god, now that you mention it...! Though in concept, she reminds me more of the antagonist in Stardust, if we're taking the Neil Gaiman route...
Beldam?
@@damianlayman5911 The Other Mother
Samantha Wycoff Here plans remind me of the Beldam, but here design for some reason reminds me of Yzma.
And yes, that weird scene... That's perhaps my favorite scene/score in the whole movie. There are elements of it that remind me of the ballroom scene in Labyrinth.
Which weird scene? The movie is full of these
ARE YOU HAPPY?!
One of my comments states my answer!
2:35 was pretty weird, if you muted out the mom talking that scene could be from a Boku No Pico knockoff, especially with the little boy grunts and him constantly rocking forward with each stroke
@@goldensans115 How have I never seen these comments until now? The "Are you Happy" musical number. :)
5:41 "Run away, jack! Please don't stay, jack!..." Jesus.
Are you Happy!? My previous thought before was... Was That Real?
Got to love Nostalgia Critic. Whether he's reviewing a shitty movie or an amazing movie, it's a guarantee that the video is going to be entertaining.
'what the enchanted crack pipe are we watching here?' i'm getting yelled at by my roommate for laughing so loudly, but that line made me lose it. actually, the whole scene. Critic, this review is what i've been waiting for!
The hallway singing is literally saying "Run away Jack, don't delay jack, far away jack"
MMMMMNOPE!
This was made by *human* people. Who are probably still going about their daily lives. I know who I want interviewed.
Unless they're actually robot toys all along?
Nostalgia Critic should review Mulan 2, he seemed to hate it so much, I would love him to go full out like he did with Legend of the Titanic.
Are you crazy?! He will die!
I mean a full NC review.
Yeah, Disneycember isn't in any way enough for that.
MrEnter will do the job.
Is Mr. Enter planning a review of it? That would be awesome!!!
I get it! It all makes perfect sense!
*takes another sniff from the crack pipe*
+Cameron Durrantcameron I'm using LSD
Tch amateur. Mushrooms are the true key to understanding this after a cocaine binge and a few shoot ups of heroin
I think we can all agree you would need to take all drugs to get close to insanity of a call for idiots
