this is just one of those pieces of lost media from childhood thats randomly stored in my brain next to disney channel bumpers and skits from “now, a word from us kids!” it’s from a croatian animated feature called Lapitch the Little Shoemaker and i really think the visual style and music holds up. they truly did not have to go so hard for a cartoon about a mouse that went straight to VHS and barely anyone would see but THEY DID 😭🫶🏼

😃Who Framed Roger Rabbit, even though it’s a hybrid of animation and live action, absolutely blew my mind when I first watched it, even though it was only like two years ago. But if we’re talking strictly animated, it’d have to be the reconstruction project for The Thief and the Cobbler. It has one of the most interesting yet tragic production histories, but thanks to a devoted fanbase, it’s come to see the light of day as its creator intended. Also features Vincent Price in his final performance before his death. I’m on mobile and I don’t know how to link lol but here‘s the recobbled cut of it! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BKTCSLbjhtM

digitized, truncated versions of the classic movies, with added games and language learning

some of these have like a weird amount of effort put into them. like good ui, good interpretations of the music, good sounds effects, simple but cute games. they'll even have weird little features that just make it feel interesting. for example, in the little mermaid one, ariel, sebastian and URSULA are the narrators, but they're also just like...there. the whole time. meaning you get ursula's color commentary throughout the whole thing AND SHE'S SUCH A BITCH I LOVE IT (talking about eric: "Yes, he's a very handsome man, if you're into that sort of thing" PFFF)
like i'm gonna go out on a limb and say it: the best version of 101 dalmatians is the disney interactive storybook aND NO IM NOT KIDDING. it has all the best elements of the cartoon and the live action weirdly enough (believe it or not, the idea that cruella was a fashion designer only became a thing in the glenn close movies! in the original she's just a rich lady that likes fur. ALSO in the original she's anita's "school friend," but it just makes so much more sense for their dynamic that anita's her employee), the sketchy style lends itself well to the digitized version, it has elements that make sense for this specific version (in the movie roger's a struggling musician, in the game he's a struggling video game designer! AND YOU GET TO PLAY HIS GAME!!), it trims the fat, THERE'S ADDED SONGS THERE WERE NO SONGS IN THE MOVIE AND THE ADDED SONGS FUCKING SLAP BITCH I KNOW EVERY WORD OF THE TWILIGHT BARK TO👏THIS👏DAY👏
n ee waze yeah these are fun. i'm pretty sure all of them are available on youtube in full, i like to throw them on to go to sleep sometimes. give 'em a gander if you want to feel a nostalgia gut punch with the force of 1000 suns

👸it's by a company called golden films, which made (makes?) cheap knock-offs of every disney movie. the one i'm referring to is like 45 minutes, was released in 1997, and is truly awful. the animation looks like ass and there's lots of odd little changes to keep it distinct from disney's version and avoid copywright infringement. instead of enchanted furniture, we get 3 ghosts in this movie who float around and haunt the beast. they are canonically the ghosts of 3 of the peasants who died because the prince refused to help them when there was like a drought or something. the music was absolutely banging though, a few original songs that are shockingly good and the rest was all tchaikovsky music. that was clearly a move to save money by using public domain tracks but tchaikovsky was a musical genius so it works. the voice acting is crazy and there's this hilarious scene where the beast falls down a flight of stairs that is so dramatic. craziest thing about this is that i preferred this movie to the disney version. i actually threw out our disney version vhs tape because i only wanted to watch this one. as an adult i was fortunately able to find a dvd copy of it at a dollar store and i have made so many of my friends watch it with me. highly recommend.

whenever i start to have the thought of “why isn’t xyz more famous?? they’re so good” i try to remember that widespread fame is not every artists ultimate aim. anyway kilo kish deserves the love and adoration of a stadium full of screaming fans
