Obscure animated films
 

Any one know of some really obscure animated films?
Here are some spining in my head

These ones I have heard of but did not see...

Heathcliff- made in the 80's by DIC animation... not too sure about what it actually is, but It's composed of smaller cartoons that aired on TV before hand and put together by little animated segways..
.
Garfield's Judgement day- This was actually going to be the Garfield movie, not that live action thing... and there were plans of this that Jim Davis actually spoke of in the 1988 special, "Garfield's 10th Birthday." In fact, Dessereye Goyette and Lou Rowls performed the opening song of this movie in the special. Somehow it either never was made, or it bombed badly, and no one's heard of it.

Toxic Crusaders the Movie- This is actually available now on DVD if you purchase the 4 disk Toxic Avenger set. I don't know much about this, and I wonder if it actually made it to theaters, or was a home video release. All I know is this is a film based on a cartoon based on a film.... HOWEVER, this was originally supposed to be Toxic Crusaders, the LIVE ACTION movie. In old Toxic Crusader comic books, Marvel actually proposed a contest and the winner was to appear in the film. Guess he didn't win anything after all...

Felix the Cat the movie- from the 80's... I don't know anything about it, actually...

And here are some that I have actually seen.

Ducktales the Movie- Made around the late 80's early 90's. I have the comic novelization, but I haven't bought the video. All and all, I liked it, and the story was like a prototype of Aladdin to be made later. However, I was disappointed that none of the actuall villains from the show (Magica, the Beagles, Flintheart) even made a cameo. I always envisioned a sequal in which Flintheart somehow gets all of Scrooges money, and sells Magica the Dime, and Scrooge would have to team up with the Beagle boys to get it all back.

Inspector Gadget's Last Case- Actually this is recent, from 2002. It was a telefilm that aired on Nickelodian. A weird film, as the characters were redesigned. Gadget now wears black, Penny is a teenager in a belly shirt, the Cheif is constantly angry with Gadget. Dr. Claw's Claw and Mad Cat were drastically changed. And to tie it in with the live action movies (gag) the Gadget mbile was completely overhauled, and can now "Talk." Unlike the movie, the talking gadgetmobile was integral to the plot. All and all, I enjoyed it, but I wish they got some of the cast memebrs back. Maurice LaMarche (Brain fom Pinky and the Brian) was the only veteran, and voiced Gadget. He did a great impersonation of Don Adams. Oddly enough he didn't perform the Cheif....

Pap Smurf and the Magic flute- My memory is hazy... I've seen this when I was 5 or younger... all I can remember is the movie wasn't made by Hannah Barbara (a european firm did it) and the voices were totally different, and they all sounded like someone with a sorethroat's voice manipulated...

The Yellow Submarine - Very cool, but very weird Beatles Film..... its crazy weird with some great Beatles hits.

Spongebob Squarepants - ok.... so this isn't a real 'film' yet.... but I've heard rumors....

The Jetsons Movie- ....Sad...I hate this movie...It has these little weird animal things, like Sprockets or something...

YES! THE FELIX THE CAT MOVIE!

It OWNS, much better than the "Twisted Tails" Garbage, the film saw Felix transported into an alternate reality to save a Princess from her tyranical Uncle "The Duke"

The U.K released it on DVD last year


Pretty good stuff



That film led to the cartoon "Gadget and the Gadgetinies" which did'nt go down well with original fans, it only had Gadget, Penny, Claw, but the rest of the series had new characters like a French Colnel who was Gadget's new superiror, and Penny built two new Gadget robots called "The Gadgetiniies" Fidget, and Gidget

lol, I used to be a big Inspector Gadget fan.

Three obscure movies I like (and are foriegn):

Princess & the Goblin: Made in England, I think? It was released in America about 1993. Absolutely loved the movie--and I still watch it!

Castle in the Sky: It's one of Miyazaki's films. I absolutely love the idea behind the structure of Laputa, the big floating tree thing.

Little Nemo: Yeah, if you are a Japanese movie fan and don't know this film, shoot yourself in the foot. It's still kinda creepy . . . :lol: Flying Squirrell!

Snow White Meets the Harlem Globetrotters.


i **** thee not. i've got it on tape.

"Mirror Mirror on the Wall
Who's the Fairest One of ALL?"

"Sorry Queenie
but as you can SEE
ain't nobody prettier
than CARMEL COLORED ME!"

Anyone here ever see Unico? It was about this little unicorn that went around and met weird creatures like a talking cat and a little devil. I haven't seen that in over 10 years, but I still remember watching it when I was little.

Most people wouldn't call it a movie.... but "Bambi vs Godzilla" :D

Um, don't know how "obscure" it is... But "The Last Unicorn". I absolutely loved that movie when I was younger. I still do. :)

They were called Grungies. Spacely Sprokets was tearing up their home to MAKE sprokets. Please don't crap on this movie, I really like it.

That movie gave me nightmares many years ago.... :o

i get nightmares from many animated films....DAMN YOU TOY STORY!!!!!!!!

*echo*

I used to have the Ducktales movie on tape! Loved the story, and I agree that it had similarities with Aladdin. Fun movie from what I could remember... Don't know where the tape is now, unfortunately. :(

Isn't Little Nemo the film which had a boy with that bed? :p That's all I can remember.

They recently played Jetsons: The Movie on WAM!, I think. I hadn't seen that film in a long time. Not too many people remember that movie.

Loved "Ducktales: The Movie", and I don't have much memory of seeing "The Last Unicorn."

They also showed it at 5:30 in the morning on Starz. I made my own DVD of it a long time ago. Don't know why the heck they won't release it though..... :(

:o You've got problems with Toy Story giving you nightmares? Oh brother.

Metroid Prime can give me nightmares, but that's not a movie. lol

Anyone ever have a really weird Disney-releated dream?

sadly true, but it should be........
