You know I had no idea that in the OG they were deliberately making Chucky look more human as the movie went on. Such a cool idea and wish they carried that on in the sequels. Thanks for that little nugget of info!

Riiiiight!!

Sets drink down “don’t forget. It’s right there”. 5 minutes later kicks drink over. (Me every time )

straight up hands down the original will always be superior. i saw the 2019 version and i was like what the heck is this? also the issue i have with the 2019 is that they made the doll modern and operate on the smart phone.

Chucky using a voodoo doll to kill his former teacher isn't really him using a different form of magic. He didn't make the doll, and the movies never suggest he knows how to make one. He just happened to find a doll the guy had made for himself (voodoo dolls have often been made for healing purposes, so perhaps he was trying to treat some ailment) and took advantage of it.

Why do I feel like Chucky would make an epic Batman villain?

I wish the remake was just a separate movie idea altogether

I got my popcorn ready for thissssss

Love the original and remake! The Chucky franchise always stay consistent that's why I love it. Great Review!

As Much As I Love Both Remakes For Different Reasons, The OG Don Mancini Child's Play Is Hands Down My Easiest Win Of Choice, Simply Because Of How Chaotically Funny, Genuinely Frightening & Campy It Is & Was For It's Time & I Truly Believe Don Had An Astonishing Hit On His Hands When The Original Came Out For Horror. There Was No Other Horror Idea Like Child's Play At The Time Which Wins A Lot Of My Respect For ALL Of The Sequels & TV Series Afterwards Because No One Saw The Success Of This Original Idea Spawning A Franchise, Not Even Don Mancini Himself, But He Made It Possible Along With A Choir Of Other Fantastic Elements Brought To The Entire Don Mancini Franchise.

Highest of compliments

Anyone else have a my buddy doll when they were younger? I was fortunate enough to have one and that thing wouldn't leave my hip.... until I got a couple minutes of Childs Play lol. I've been traumatized ever since 😆

Original wins but I do like the remake. It's decent. Yeah sure bad CGI at times but I liked Andy and Mark Hamill was a lot of fun. The force is definitely strong here and he did it for 2pac, aww. Reminds me of Part 3 "Chucky is gonna be a bro". TCM 2 scene made me chuckle. Did it need a remake? Nope, but I'll take it over Don Mancini's sequels. They are just not my cup of tea. I prefer 1 to 3.

I haven't seen the new one. I read that a cat is killed and honestly I'm so sick of an animal being killed just to show "oh, see this is evil"!! I know that doesn't make much sense 😂

Remember that one part Chucky says a true classic never goes out of style and the scene Bride of Chucky

so thankful for this video

Thanks!

The original is far superior to the remake. I don't like many of the remakes out today.

It's been a quite some while since you did an original vs the remake comparison, let's go but for me I prefer the remake over the original

Child Play is one of the best debut horror in history and I do love the remake of Child Play it's a awesome.

I enjoyed the Remake, but nothing beats the OG Chucky!

I give the remake points for it's different approach, but personally I think it would've worked much better if it was an episode of Black Mirror than a Child's Play remake.

Yesss facts I didn’t even think of that

Interesting comparison on both of these films. There are aspects of your take on both films that I both agree and disagree with, but before we get into that I should give my thoughts on both films. The original Child's Play is one of my favorite horror films of all time, and the Child's Play franchise as a whole is in competition with Evil Dead, Alien & Saw as my favorite franchise in horror, and that's pretty evident by the fact I left what sometimes amounts to be mini-essay comments on pretty much all your videos on this franchise. The remake, while it doesn't quite reach the same level of quality as the original, is still nonetheless a film I very much enjoyed initially when I first viewed it in theaters in 2019. It's also a film though that I have a very complicated history with, as this has gone on to be one of the most horrifically overhated horror remakes I've seen in my entire life. There is a HUGE subset of people in the Child's Play fandom that absolutely hate the remake with a burning passion and think it's one of the worst pieces of shit to ever grace horror cinema, and I just don't understand why. At least, not entirely. A large part of the hatred for the remake I feel doesn't necessarily come from the actual objective quality of the film itself. There are many good positives with the remake you bring up that I completely agree with that people tend to unfortunately overlook when discussing the remake but rather that it stems from the behind the scenes drama between Universal & MGM & many fans loyalty to Don Mancini. Now, to some extent, I can kinda understand where they're coming from to a degree. Sans the TV show, I may not be a fan of what Don Mancini has done with the franchise since gaining complete creative control of the series, but none of that will ever change the fact that Don has bled, sweat, and shed tears working his ass off on this franchise, and his career dedication to Chucky is absolutely commendable. So to a degree it's understandable that both Don and his legion of fans he's amassed over the decades would be like "WTF?" when MGM suddenly comes out of the blue and announces that they would be doing their own version of Child's Play and make a quick buck on Don Mancini's baby while he and his crew were actively working on the TV show. Which Don was vehemently against and even went on record to claim he was worried of what would have happened to his franchise if the remake had taken off in popularity. Because of all that drama, negative bias against the remake is understandable, but even despite that a lot of people have taken that hate to a level that I think is just ridiculous & unwarranted. My response to all of that has been "All of that behind the scenes drama is completely superfluous to the objective filmmaking quality of the film itself. If they make a good movie then they make a good movie, and though definitely not perfect by any means, it's not the complete dumpster fire that a lot make it out to be. There ARE aspects of the film that are done really REALLY well, like the kills, cinematography, themes, and my god, that KICK ASS score by Bear McCreary. Ok, mini-rant on remake hate over. I went on a bit of a tangent there lmao. Something you mentioned that I also thought was quite interesting was how for the original film they try to play with this idea of "Is Chucky actually the one killing people, or is Andy doing it and pinning the blame for the murders on Chucky as a scapegoat?" I think a more effective way of executing that idea would have been to NOT begin the movie with Charles being killed and transferring himself into the doll, but rather simply with our introductory scenes of Andy and him getting the doll. By changing that, this would create a mystery around Andy and whether or not he was telling the truth about Chucky killing people. Then, make the scene of Charles being killed and transferring his soul into the doll a big mid-film reveal going into the film's second half to surprise the shit out of the audience with such a horrifying macabre plot twist. If I had the power to re-edit the film that's the only thing I would really change about the film's story structure to improve the pacing and and more effectively create that sense of mystery around Andy & Chucky. Now, to be fair, I did enjoy watching your comparison of these films and you definitely make a lot of good points about both films, but there are admittedly a few things you mentioned that are either small factual errors, faulty logic or things that I don't necessarily agree with. Let's get into them: "Then that sequel led to another, and then another, and then another, and then another, and then another, and then finally in 2019 they kinda veered off course, they TOOK THE RIGHTS, and said 'We're doing a remake'". I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say there by "took the rights". It's entirely possible I could be misinterpreting what you said in that final part of your quote there, but if what you said by "took the rights" is what I think you're suggesting and claiming that MGM briefly took the rights to the franchise from Universal, that's incorrect. MGM has had the distribution rights to the original Child's Play film since 1988, which is what gave them leeway to go ahead with the production of the remake without needing the consent of Universal and Don Mancini, while Universal has had the distribution rights to all the sequels that came out afterwards. Again, I could be misinterpreting what you said, but it is worth at least pointing out just in case. "Also, I forgot to mention, the acting difference between our Andy's, it's like, this scene of Alex Vincent just sobbing gets me every single time, and I feel like nothing that the actor in the remake really impressed me on the same level" While I do agree with you that Alex Vincent is very VERY convincing as a young child scared for his life, at the same time however I don't think it's fair to compare six year old Alex Vincent's performance to that of then 14-15 year old Gabriel Bateman in the remake. They're both playing two distinctly different versions of a character with two different age dynamics. Saying Alex Vincent is a better actor in Child's Play 1988 than Gabriel baseman in the remake is kinda equivalent to saying that Patrick Stewart is more convincing as an elderly man than Zac Efron. It is just a small gripe and maybe that's not the best example I could have used, but hopefully you get my point. "Sometimes they used Ed Gale, who was a little person to play Chucky. The scenes where they needed Chucky to have the most range of motion they would put Ed Gale into a Chucky costume and they blew up the sets by about a third. And I find that so fascinating because in the movie you don't even notice, it's like so seamless" This might just be a subjective thing with me, but I don't really agree. The difference between the animatronic Chucky and Ed Gale in the Chucky costume for me is VERY noticeable, especially in shots that transition between the two, which can sometimes break the immersion of certain scenes, and ironically enough it's actually the Ed Gale scenes that don't look as good or impressive to me and don't hold up as well as the animatronic effects (No disrespect meant to the guy btw), which is weird because in most cases you'd think it would be the other way around. Again, not a big issue, it definitely doesn’t ruin the film or anything, but it is something we don't quite see eye to eye on. Either way, small disagreements aside, this was still another great video from you as usual!

Thanks for taking the time on this one, great discussion! By “took the rights” I did just mean they used what they had at their disposal, it was more of a figment of speech hahah. I did come upon the info during my research that mgm only retained rights to the original movie (and thank god)

I would agree that the original is better than the remake, but the comparison is closer than people may think (which I believe you were hinting at during the end of your video, please correct me if I’m wrong about that). If I were to rank the franchise, both of these films would be in the middle, around the 4-5ish range. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for the excellent video Kylie! You rock!!

Yea I’ve kind of changed my mind about the remake. There’s just a lot you can get in one movie that you can’t get in the other so I am a little torn

I gravitate towards Child's Play 2 as a good first movie for Chucky simply because not only was the first movie not included in the original Chucky DVD bundle, but it's so much easier to rewatch. The issue I have with the original Child's Play and even Friday the 13th Part 5 is that both movies feel like I'm supposed to think the main character is the villain. Issue with Chucky is that he's so iconic in the sequels that it overshadows the mystery in the original if there is meant to be one. It's impossible to have even the slightest doubt.

Omg I can't believe she said that about the way Andy makes his mom Breakfast saying it's disgusting he is just a little boy come on I find it the cutest and most adorable thing ever kids make a mess big deal makes me mad😍❤️😡🥺😓😥

@@HauntedHippie oh yea and I totally agree with you on the characters

OG Child's Play for the win (even though Child's Play 2 is the best in the series), but I do like the 2019 remake. Chucky is my favorite horror movie villain and Andy is my favorite hero in the franchise. A few weeks ago, I went to Best Buy and bought Chucky Season One on Blu-ray. I can't wait to see what happens in Season 2 this fall. I sure as heck don't remember being scared of my own toys as a kid. Because the toys I had are mostly Hot Wheels vehicles and playsets, Toy Story figures, Power Rangers and Marvel figures. Those were cool. It's just that I lured myself away from dolls (girl dolls) after seeing Chucky on the fourth film. Thankfully, my fear finally wore out when I was 19 and now I'm fearless around not just Chucky, but dolls in general nowadays. Between the Karen Barclays, I like Catherine Hicks more, but Aubrey Plaza's Karen Barclay, though not too shabby, looks more like a sister to Andy than a mother. I also like the deaths in the Remake (particularly that two-timing butthole Shane) more than in the original.

Absolutely, it’s why I had no choice but to give it a rewatch before this video hahaha

The 2019 is the only entry in the Child's Play franchise that I actively dislike. Like i even defend Seed to a certain extent but the remake was atrocious. It had a very promising and interesting concept it was terribly

Even though I had my issues with them I vastly prefer the teen cast in the tv series to remake. They felt more real than the kisa in the remake whose personaties were: hefty kid, black kid, and girl kid

Did u like dr strange 2 aka Wanda’s movie ? Also I luv u

The remake has some elements that'd work pretty well in another movies... I mean, the whole sequence when Chucky hacked Andy's hearing aid in the dark, so he'd hear anything except Chucky's voice inside his head? That was creepy as hell, but it'd work better maybe on the movie M3gan that will be released in 2023.

I personally believe having someone who worked on the original to be part of the remake is a way to create interest in the movie by giving them some sort a feeling of comfort. I think the intentions are good but i can see how some might see it as a cash grab though I don't see it that way. And also those familiar names would not agree to be on said remake if they did not think it was a good idea.

I love the Child's Play franchise, but I've honestly never been a fan of the original.. I don't know why but I've always found it boring and not fun to watch although there's still a classic horror moment or two.. it's probably my least favorite besides Seed Of Chucky.. I'm indifferent to the reboot, I don't hate it but don't love it.. but I can't lie that Chucky is pretty creepy in the reboot..

Completely unrelated. You are very gorgeous 😁

I like the remake

Original is more creepy the remake is good Chucky look wierd

Personally I really like both of them and I really like child’s play 2019 a lot because I had a lot of fun let me just tell you when I got to the movie theater I was on shrooms I was extremely up in could nine abs I drank some beer I had fun but My mom had me at a very young age so she is pretty much the same age that Audrey plaza was in that movie when I was the age of Andy in that movie so as a preteen if I had gotten a toy like that, an electronic toy. I would’ve been super stoked because when I was younger around Andy’s age from the original so six years old I didn’t have toys like that I didn’t get dolls like that So my mom started buying me toys like that when I was older (around 2019 remake version) it’s just like everything in the world everyone has a different perspective so if it gravitates towards different audiences that have probably lived a life closer to theirs it’s going to be more effective it’s still a good movie and I love the original too

I was pleasantly surprised at the remake, but...BUT...what was so good about the original was Chucky WAS a bad guy. The remake made me feel bad for the doll because it wasn't necessarily his fault. I don't want that lol I will say that the remake gave us the good tension for the kills and the kills were good. They were creative. Truth of the matter is you just aren't going to beat Brad Dourif. The only thing that comes close is Fiona Dourif playing Brad Dourif. Also, what is bad about the remake and the character interactions...I work in a HS. I see kids talk to their parents like this. This is relevant and its sad. Because of that, it didn't jar me as much because that's just my every day experience where I work. I prefer the mother/son relationship in the first.

Chucky is camp, but Brad Dourif is an Academy Award nominated actor for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and is typically the best actor in whatever he is doing (or at least a standout). He's been doing Chucky's iconic voice for nearly 40 years. Sorry, but he acts circles around Mark Hamill. Luke Skywalker is my favorite Star Wars character and Hamill does a mean Joker voice, but the caliber of acting is just different between the two. Hamill is just more popular.
