For a lot of the back half of 2023, right-wing media (especially on KZread) absolutely LOST ITS MIND over the upcoming live-action remake of Disney's "SNOW WHITE & THE SEVEN DWARVES" with Rachel Zegler in the title role, designating the film as "woke" for reasons without much clarity in any one direction (or what that stigma is even supposed to "mean" more generally)
Just imagine if that noise machine had been around in 1993 for THIS bizarre, largely forgotten curio from Filmation; an unofficial pseudo-sequel to the fairytale (and certainly NOT the Disney classic it just happens to resemble...) in which the whole scenario get's a gender-inverted revamp: With Snow White doing her OWN rescuing this time and battling the Evil Queen's previously-unmentioned brother alongside a crew of seven environmentally-empowered female "Dwarfelles."
Go ahead and read it again, it doesn't become any clearer - and that's BEFORE the voices of a murderer's row of aging kitsch stars (Carol Channing, Phyllis Diller, Ed Asner, Dom DeLuise, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Sally Kellerman, Jonathan Harris and more!) start coming out of the characters!

It's okay, but for the longest time I didn't know what it was called or who made it and I thought I might have dreamt it.

    It never fails. Whenever somebody sings in a low-budget animated production from before the '90s (depending on the film), there's suddenly reverb in their voice, and that reverb disappears when they just talk. It's more noticeable in The Wacky World of Mother Goose, but that's a different story.

Since it started as Toy Galaxy, emphasizing uniquely popular and/or long-running toy based franchises that also have cartoons, animated projects, comic books, and major theatrical films, I doubt the channel would be interested in covering Lassie's Rescue Rangers and Gillian's Planet. At best, Secret Galaxy might mention them as part of an overall discussion about the Filmation company or obscure cartoons based on celebrities.

    WHAT?! SNOW WHITE SAVES THE PRINCE!? THAT'S . . . that's . . . That's actually more like a fair handful of actual fairy tales that I've read. How is that the case? Well, the popular fairy tale canon was formed in the Victorian Era and reflects the values of the time and then as familiarity and "classics" took over people stopped looking for new stories and eventually started reimagining the ones everyone knew. Even the scope of it all is very Victorian. You've got a jumble of German, French and English stories, some stories from a sentimental Danish writer (looking at you, Andersen), a bunch of Arabian Nights stuff that became popular because of Orientalism and, inexplicably, one Norwegian story (the one with the billy goats).

    Hot take that, even though “Snow White” is a fairly basic story on a plot level, there is a lot you can do with it if you get creative. Like, when you get right down to it, it’s basically a story all about generational conflict between a young woman who finds her place amongst a group of implicitly working class minority characters and an older female ruler who considers herself above the rest of humanity and is implied (in the Disney version, at least) to have clawed her way to power through tricks and alchemy. You could even do an ending where she and the Prince stay with the Dwarves because they fit in better with this good, loving found family than in the cutthroat royal courts that helped turn the Evil Queen into what she became.

I mostly remembered the prince getting transformed in creepy man. Also, funny how the bad guy in this films is an evil wizard who transforms in a winged beast, and that would be the exact same antagonist as the one from the first Swan Princess film, except Malice turned into a Wyvern-like beast, while the guy from the Swan Princess turned into a giant bat monster!

    I watched this movie repeatedly on VHS as a kid because my family and I were living overseas and didn’t have access to movie rentals or stores, so we just watched the hell out of what we had. Back then, I didn’t think it was good, it was just something to watch. Rewatching it as an adult, it’s a lot more entertaining. The voice actors and their performances are fun in a very nostalgic way, the animation is decent enough to be interesting in places, the Filmation sound effects are delightful throughout, and there are some genuinely badass moments. My favorite on rewatch was seeing Mother Nature swat Malice in dragon form out of the sky with a lightning bolt shot out of her pinky finger. As goofy as Phyllis Nature is, she quickly demonstrates that you don’t mess with her. Also, Batso proves to be quite the snarky little bastard at times while still maintaining his cheerfully innocent demeanor.

They're character designs are really solid and you can tell the animators came with very solid backgrounds in the field when they were allowed to flex their stuff. I'd love too see some of the concept art for some of the projects that didn't get past the concept stage. Their made for TV movie version of Flash Gordon was really good and at the time of this posting can still be found on youtube.

But it was a lot of doom for me, in a time when I already felt bent double by doom... ...but this video... this is nice. It's got a calm, level-headed look at something niche and odd and not good maybe but also not *bad* in some ways. Just an interesting thing to show people.

Baby-Strom's song was a case-in-point: 2 bars was more than enough. We also only needed the title-card from Passion 2 to get the reference. Playing more was like explaining the gag to an audience you assumed didn't get it.

    commenting here after having watched all three, I genuinely can't rightfully say which one of these I liked best, though I gotta say I am absolutely enamored with the concept and format. kinda like an extended, year-round schlocktober, but with a more widely dispersed net over what kinda movies you're talking about? yes please! that being said, just on a purely informational/point of interest level, I probably thought the "The Crusades" episode was the best for it's highlighting for the tremendously progressive for its time depiction of muslims and how that reverberates with the themes of the overall movie in spite of the quite basic and hamfisted "white woman abduction" plot. I always dig it when you highlight stuff like that via insightful social commentary. here's hoping that this series works out and becomes a success. all fingers crossed!

    The "Schlocktober" schtick never really landed with me. I'd always preferred literally all of your other shows to that format because it felt like a heavily truncated version of "KZreadr lightly riffs thing on surface level, nothing has been learnt". That said, this feels like it actually has potential. You went far more in-depth than typical and spoke about specifics regarding production, and some of the strange things about the film that made it noteworthy compared to its contemporaries, particularly the behind the scenes information. However, I felt it was held back by multiple areas of padding. A small example of that was the examples of Filmation's output shown between 2:55-3:35. Clips from 8 separate shows were played when 3 would have been sufficient. Moments of padding not dissimilar to this are present through the length of the video. It makes it feel bloated in a way that can't be danced around. Where some videos add bloat by inflating the script with additional dialogue it can potentially give an illusion of depth, when its just back-to-back clips then even that "feeling" can't be present. Maybe Bob added the clips because he genuinely found them amusing, but it didn't have that effect. It feels like struggling to reach an increased runtime because the algorithm is awful. I'd prefer quantity over quantity. Bob is better than the hacks on this website who will make a 3 hour video where they simply narrate every single moment of a movie/series and tell me nothing of note except maybe 5 minutes total of their vague, shallow political opinions sprinkled throughout, like the world's shittiest salt. Despite my criticisms, I'll reiterate that I enjoyed the video and I'm hopeful for the future. I just hope that the coming videos are tighter productions and continue to focus more on what makes the movies unique, rather than being weak narrative play-by-plays. I can get the latter anywhere, the former I cannot.

    Holy Shit!! This just unlocked a core memory for me. I must have been 4 or 5 years old at the time when my grandma was watching me either because I was sick or my parents were out of the house. My mom and dad recently purchased or rented this movie for me on VHS. I remember sitting on my miniature Batman sofa bed and really enjoying this movie. Also for some reason the evil wizard turning into a Dragon awoke certain feeling in me. Thank you Bob for making me realize I did not dream up this entire film from my childhood..

    Bob, you hit the nail on the head for me. I remember this movie more as a fever dream than an actual thing. Very vivid memories of the box art and certain scenes, but no solid memories of the story plot, charterers, or smaller details. I probably gave it a pass just on principal alone, I've always been a sucker for fairy tales and re-told/re-imagined fairy tales.

    If you're looking for another weird, obscure animated movie featuring the vocal talents of Carol Channing for this show, I would suggest Shinbone Alley. It's got a lot of far-reaching background lore to cover. Among other things, it's based on a musical partially written by Mel Brooks, which is in turn based on a series of oddly influential newspaper columns illustrated by the guy who did Krazy Kat. It certainly is a movie that exists!

    I had a VHS copy of this movie as a kid, my dad worked at a theater equipment store and had access to pretty much everything that ever existed, and the bargain bin was free to employees so he would always have new family movies for when my sister and I went to visit him on the weekends. This was one that we had available at one point, along with that knock off Aladdin movie.

    I didn't remember the movies' names, but there are 2 noteworthy things about this one. 1) Filmation struggled to stay afloat in its last gasp in the 1980s. Lou Scheimer had burned bridges with the big 3 networks by the early 1980s, losing the Saturday morning bread and butter, and Bravestar and their animated Ghost Busters flopped. 2) they and Canon films must have gambled on piggybacking on the residual popularity when Disney replayed its golden age fairy tales in theaters throughout the 80s. The characters were public domain, though Filmation's rendering of Snow White comes close to legal trouble. 😅
