I realize that kids liked Kangaroo Jack, but did it seriously do well enough to get an animated sequel?

holy shit i thought i hallucinated this monstrosity

Is any significant time spent in the outback?

It didn't mainly because kids thought they were getting a funny talking kangaroo movie and they get this weird PG-13 crime movie/buddy picture where the fat kid from Stand By Me is Christopher Walken's stepson and General Zodd is his criminal step-brother. Same situation as Snow Dogs, that was advertised as a funny talking dog movie, instead it's about Cuba Gooding Jr. trying to bond with his mildly racist biological father who turns out to be James Coburn.

I have no idea why this exists, just that this is the only thing in his career that Jeff Bennett should personally apologize for.

>kid-friendly series based on a hard-R horror comedy

Is 2 years to big of a difference too consider the name Kangaroo Jack a rip-off of Samurai Jack?

>Thought it was going to be one of those horrible live action talking animals movies for toddlers
>Marketing focused 100% on the TOTALLY RAD kangaroo with sunglasses and sweater
>The title of the movie is even about the Kangaroo
>It's actually a (mediocre) buddy cop thriller
>Kangaroo is just a regular kangaroo that through contrived circumstance is wearing cloth
>Kangaroo isn't even a Mcguffin but the Mcguffin to another Mcguffin who only is in the story through extremyl contrived situation and barely gets any screentime
>Postcredits scene is the Kangaroo talking and rapping, saying how it's bullshit the movie wasn't actually about him
How did this movie manage to even exist.

That's sounds even worse than I could have imagined.

The wikipedia page says it's Snow Dogs fault. I haven't bothered to look up what lead to that movie.

We haven't forgotten this already, have we?

I never knew Hunchback of Notra Dam had a sequel

Nor Krunk's New Groove

Nobody wants to talk about them

Also apparently Lion King 1 and a half came out AFTER 2 oddly enough, 6 Fucking years after 2

Not sure why the outrage.
I mean, yes it's definitively stupid and will be shit but they've been doing terrible Tom and Jerry movies for decades and the new crossover's angle isn't remotely new to the franchise.

Threads freaking out about this is like watching a 20 year old freak out when he is told Santa isn't real: Yeah it's sad I suppose, but how is it possible you didn't know about this shit?

It's got puppets, puppets are Sup Forums enough.

>after coming home from Oz to Kansas, Dorothy is admitted to a psychiatric hospital and subjected to shock therapy before returning to Oz again

This first part of the movie just seemed like such a goddamn weird detail to insert there, Most of the rest of the movie is innocently enough based on the corresponding Oz books (though in a nightmare fuel eighties kind of way), but in the book, Dorothy just gets caught in a storm while at sea for a perfectly innocent reason, and washes up on the shores of a fantasy country near Oz, with no mention of this weird insane asylum experiment shit. Like I get that maybe the filmmakers wanted Dorothy to seem in a bad place before escaping to this fantasy world, but there are so many other less extreme grimdark and disturbing ways of doing that.

I think this is just the lucky movie that got picked up as a meme. I'm not at all surprised the earlier Tom and Jerry direct to DVD crossovers have mostly fallen under the radar. Heck, part of the shocking amusing appeal of this one is finding out "wait, there are more??"

And of course cartoon crossovers have been a thing for a while, but it's still weird to see two wildly unrelated properties just mashed together in such and odd ungracefull way. First off, a cartoon crossover often takes place between two, you know, actual cartoons, and then usually the movie tries to at least make an attempt to tell its own story instead of making a weirdass remake of one of the properties with characters from the other awkwardly shoved in the background. So, even though the Tom and Jerry movies have been doing this for some time now, this movie's sudden unexpected meme popularity seems to be a lot of peoples' introduction to this particular method, and it's just such an odd bad idea that seems to exist more for incomprehensible legal loophole reasons than an actual attempt to market a serious product.

It's not weird to me that 1 1/2 came out after 2. I remember when it first came out thinking "oh, they're calling it 1 1/2 and not 2 because they already made 2, but they can't call this 3 because it doesn't take place after the second one." Of course, later being introduced to movies like Little Mermaid 3 which is a prequel that takes place before 1, kind of blew that theory I'd had out the water, but it still seemed to make sense back at the time. I think I may have been in my first year of highschool when LK1 1/2 came out.

> "Crikey!"
> GOTTA HOP BACK
> TO THE OUTBACK
>KANGAROO JACK

That movie single-handedly destroyed Cuba Gooding Jr's career for over a decade

That movie scared the shit out of me as a kid for some reason... and I think the whole shock therapy thing was a "realistic" response to her talking endlessly about some made up world, which desu is possibly what would have happened after the 1st movie.

still a really fucked up way to handle it though, it was filmed in a way that made it way more creepy and weird overall, not just the shock therapy stuff.... the fuckin wheelers and mombi with her changing heads... fuck that shit.

I dunno..... ever seen "Monkeybone"...?

a lot of bad movies came out in that period, the economy was good, and idiots with more money than they knew what to do with financed really shittty/bizarre stuff.

There were cartoon adaptations of Rambo, Robocop, and Police Academy too. Aliens was set to have one as well but that got nixed.

Man, the late 80's/Early 90's were a unique time.

Was Monkeybone bad? I never saw it but remember the commercials looking good to my retarded young mind.

I thought starring in Radio did that.

You're forgetting the Nome King as well. Fucker terrified the shit out of me as a child. Oh, and his minions that could hide in walls cause why not add some extra paranoia to the movie.

kangaroo jack kangaroo jack back to the outback with kangaroo jack

>kids around me liked Kangaroo Jack
>spoke positively about Sausage Party

I have something to admit. Ever since 2004 I have been having sexual fantasies of kangaroo jack. It all started when my grandma took the movie theater. As I watched Jack jump and down I couldn't help but feel an intense pain in my heart. I felt alive for the very first time. I felt sick as we left, but also with an intense love for the cartoon kangaroo, Jack.

I constantly thought about him. I re-watched the movie dozens of times. I would sit for hours and just watch over and over. Each time I felt closer to the magical cartoon world of Jack the Kangaroo. My parents started to worry about me so they tried throwing the movie away but I was so enraged by this that I swung and hit my mother violently over and over. After this I was taken to a psychologist where I was found to be a high-functioning autistic. It was around this time that I had experienced my first sexual desires. I wanted to rub my penis on Jack's fur. I wanted to lick Jack's tongue, and kiss his nose.

I was experiencing virgin homosexuality through Jack the cartoon Kangaroo. I began to draw dozens of homosexual pictures between me and Jack. I remember watching pornography with my grandpa. This is what the pictures were based off of. I had drawn Jack with a vagina and a penis and me. When my dad found the pictures he hit me right across the face. I cried and tried locking myself in my room but he kicked the door down and hit me and screamed at me. My dad threw away all of my copies of Kangaroo Jack and even went as far as selling our dvd player.

After this I stopped talking to other people. I did not speak to anyone for 3 years, I was simply too traumatized by this event. I was 9 years old. Once I was allowed access to a computer I immediately started searching for pictures of Kangaroo Jack. With my discovery of rule 34, I have been masturbating to the select few pictures of Kangaroo Jack available.

Has anyone had this obsession with a cartoon character?

>With my discovery of rule 34, I have been masturbating to the select few pictures of Kangaroo Jack available.

well heres something youll enjoy then merry christmas youtube.com/watch?

Yeah, I want Howard the duck to rape me with his corkscrew penis.

Imagine a mid-90s Doom cartoon.

Someone actually thought this game deserved a fucking movie.
youtube.com/watch?v=5MKLNyKGUUI

What the fuck is this film and who could it possibly have been made for?

The Acid-Spitting Zumzizeroo, that's who

no... it stars Brendan Fraser at the worst point in his career, and the movie is fucking shit, the only thing they had going was good fx/character costumes and makeup and all that (for the time)

the whole movie overall is a failed abortion

I actually really liked this movie when I was younger. I had no idea people despised it until I Google searched it many years later.

And now some people are starting to like it ironically. Weird as fuck.

Monkey from man's subconscious takes over his mind and tries to fuck his girlfriend. Its also a surreal and unfunny movie.
yeah the movie seemed to be advertising that the kangaroo would be able to talk from what I remember. I saw the movie back when I was like 8. The movie was very different from what was advertised.

Was that the movie where Brendan Fraser is a cartoonist whose body gets stolen from him by a cartoon monkey that he drew and then during the climax he ends up possessing a corpse who looks just like him? Because if so, I think I remember that movie.

Probably my favorite bad movie of all time

monkeybone was an artistic masterpiece

It has a catgirl voreing a rat man

Offscreen, but Miss Kitty is still fine as hell.

I liked it ironically as a kid BEFORE it was cool. It's a giant seaming pile of horseshit that's an insult to everything Seuss stood for (except hating Asians, both the film and he saw eye to eye on that) but it's just so crass and devoid of any dignity or grace that its weirdly dissonant adult humor is sort of magnified by the kiddy trappings.

>I think the whole shock therapy thing was a "realistic" response to her talking endlessly about some made up world, which desu is possibly what would have happened after the 1st movie

Not at all. I completely disagree. This is an easy conclusion to come to if you're thinking of Dorothy as actually being a teenager like Judy Garland acting in the 1939 film or a preteen 12 or 13 year old like the actress in Return to Oz, but the way the story goes, in the Wizard of Oz book and from what the '39 movie is supposed to be representing, Dorothy is actually meant to be a much younger child than that. In her first trip to Oz, at least. That's why her response to finding herself in Oz is "Oh my, how exciting!" and not "Holy shit what the fuck is going on" like an older child or teenager would react. She's probably somewhere from 5 years old to 8 years old, though possibly as old as 10, max. These are ages in which it's perfectly normal for a child- especially a bored orphan stuck on a dreary Kansas farm- to be playing pretend games and making up imaginary friends and imaginary games. It should have been met with a hand wave and a "oh those kids and their imaginations." It wouldn't be any cause for alarm and certainly not due cause for investigating insanity.

Best you can do is excuse Return for Oz by speculating that in their version their Dorothy is meant to be older, 10 thru 14 maybe, and the reaction is a little more appropriate. But even then, there's also no call for aging up Dorothy just to justify the shitty grimdark fanfic-ish element that really doesn't belong in the story in the first place, any more than there was a cause for that grimdark element to begin with.

>the late 80's/Early 90's were a unique time
A better time.

>Nome King
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT EGGS ARE POISON

Did the American one ever get finished?

I remember when this came out I was interested because it was a funny cartoon movie and me and my older sis were watching tv and she had the remote and the commercial came on as she was channel surfing and I was like turn it back and when she did that .gif was what showed up and she was ragging me like is that what you wanted to see? and I was like no I didn't even know that would be there but she kept acting skeptical even though I really didn't know

Snow Dogs also had talking dogs in its trailer who were present for one scene, in a dream sequence. You basically saw the entire talking dog dream sequence and that was the trailer.

The rest of the movie was about a mixed race guy trying to reconnect with his asshole white dad.

Basically, Hollywood realized they could MAKE a lame family movie with a tiny budget that basically, ordinarily, nobody would watch, and then use a single scene to CGI talking mouths on animals to make kids think it was about FUNNY TALKING ANIMALS and beg their parents to take them.

TECHNICALLY not false advertising.

I am continually surprised that we haven't just set every rich asshole out to screw the average American joe on fire.

Instead, we elect them to public office.

That was literally how 1 1/2 was advertised though, I remember they even had a trailer explaining it in the exact same way. They called it a "behind the scenequel".

the fuck is wrong with dorothy's face there

>This is an easy conclusion to come to if you're thinking of Dorothy as actually being a teenager like Judy Garland acting in the 1939 film or a preteen 12 or 13 year old like the actress in Return to Oz, but the way the story goes, in the Wizard of Oz book and from what the '39 movie is supposed to be representing, Dorothy is actually meant to be a much younger child than that.

sure, fine... but this is about the movies, and judy garland and fairuza balk sure as shit didn't look 8 years old. It was an adaptation, we're talking about movies as they are not bringing in the minutia of why dorothy should have been younger based on the books.

Its like you're doing a very modern "NOT MUH" about a movie that has been out for almost 80 years and the weird sequel from 32 years ago.

the time has kinda passed to whine about how the movies were made isn't it?

Yeah blame society for your lack of critical thinking skills... go fuck yourself with a rake.

It's funny how so many people aged 21-30 had the same experience with Kangaroo Jack.

>Beg parents to take us to see the talking Kangaroo movie
>Kangaroo doesn't talk and it's a shitty buddy cop film

That was the only legitimately good scene in this whole movie. Damn good cover of that song, too.

...

Crokadoo was set in NT?
Wait I guess that makes sense

>See commercial for Marley & Me
>think it's a zany Beethoven-esque comedy about a lovable doofus trying to win a girl's heart while dealing with his sweet but out of control dog that's constantly getting into rascally hijinks.
>no.
>It's a drama about the life of a dog from when he's a puppy up to when he gets old and dies
>the scene where Owen Wilson tries to call Marley up the stairs to go to bed but the dog is too old and gives up halfway up the stairs and collapses, whimpering
>this is not the carefree, uplifting, laugh-a-minute kid's movie the commercials promised

You don't promise lols for all ages and then switch them out with a dead dog. Not cool, Marley & Me.

I'm a bit hazy on the 80s movie, but I stand pretty firmly by my idea that Dorothy is meant to be a much younger child that is simply played by an older actress in the '39 film. She doesn't act like a teenager, she doesn't dress like a teenager, talk like a teenager, or have a teenager's hairstyle, even setting aside the book and looking just at evidence within the movie. Everything about her except for the age and bodily appearance of her actress tells us that she's meant to be a little girl. It's like in the Peter Pan plays, where Peter is played by a grown woman but still supposed to be a little boy. It's set up so that the audience is meant to pick up on the cues and interpret the character as something the actor doesn't necessarily have to literally be.

But since we were really talking about the 80s movie, then yeah, I admit that that quite may be its own version that's open to some different details not present in certain other versions. I just still stand by my opinion that some of its unique ideas, especially subjecting Dorothy to shock therapy, just weren't very good ideas at all.

That's not even that edgy. In American McGee's version of Alice in Wonderland, Alice is framed for the murder of her family by a guy who repeatedly raped Alice's sister, then sends Alice to his asylum which was also secretly a child prostitution ring before trying to have her lobotomized

But that went all out edgy. It didn't sell itself as a family friendly film and then slip in some unexpected nightmare fuel.

Post it someone
I need to know what cartoon takes place in my shitty state.

The first time I cried because a movie was when the dude was gently touching Marly paws before they put him to sleep. And now my dog is so old and sick that we are gonna have to put him to sleep soon

I remember parents getting pissed at Bridge of Terabithia because the trailer showed it as a Narnia like film when it was about children escaping from their hard reality, then the girl dies.

>Aliens was set to have one as well

I don't know how to feel about this. Though I guess a 90's AVP cartoon would've been rad.

>Santa isn't real

Well that's just what happens when a movie is intentionally misleading in it's marketing.

Snow Dogs was alright.

Troma never gave a single fuck

Utter shit

It's not the Tom and Jerry thing, it's the original Willy Wonka film being shit on.

At least the Tim Burton film showed some respect and attempted to be it's own thing.

I think what makes this a special case is how blatant it is.

Like Wizard of Oz you could justify being from the book. And however poorly a lot of stuff was done, there were moments of genuinely good animation.

This? This is LITERALLY the original movie with Tom and Jerry crudely pasted in.

At least Dr. Seuss later regretted his racist cartoons.

and in turn gave us one of the shittiest AVGN episodes.

Shit on it all you want, it's still got great animation for Tom and Jerry anything made beyond the 40s.

Obligatory Doomgal for marketability purposes and possibly diversity so she'll be like Latina or half-Asian or something.

I remember there was a Christian movie review site where an angry grandparent complained about the movie.

It was funny.

>Oh waow, we had the dog and now he's gone
>waow guess we learned a valuable lesson about taking our loved ones for granted

I mean, the book has been around for ages and it has a Newbury Medal on the cover, everyone knows that means terrible shit happens.

Chuck Mangione is an actual person and not a character created for King of the Hill.

Horton hears a who was Suess's way of saying that he changed his mind about jabs and apologizing for his racism

You're silly.

It'll be about a team of Doom marines, who are actually multicultural teenagers who go into their computers after school to fight 'aliens'!

It's not actually that hard if you imagine the Doom comic, then translate that into a cartoon like UltraForce.

and it's no longer the forces of Hell. Can't sell 90s toys if it was.

It's now just aliens. From Planet Doom

W-wait, isn't that Sucker Punch?

Again another case of misleading marketing I fell for. Fuck that movie

>Planet Doom
YASSSS

this is perfect. Are there any Youtube animators who aren't shit and actually update things still

like Harry Partridge but not dead other than trolling

we need to get someone on this.

Not to mention the characters she meets in Oz actually have real world parallels, so you question if she really IS just insane at the end

Sucker Punch is the god-emperor of misleading advertising

Fuck that movie with a rusty pitchfork.

Oz as a source has suffered immensely because of the original film being so incredibly widely known.

There's over a dozen canonical books, by Baum, IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. And the musical is kind of a terrible adaptation, it goes so far out of its way to neuter any suggestion that this was anything but a dream (Oz is DEFINITELY REAL in the books).

Do you know how the actual Wonderful Wizard of Oz book starts?

We're introduced to Dorothy, Toto, and Uncle Henry and Aunt Em briefly (like, six sentences tops) and then Uncle Henry goes OH FUCK TWISTER COMIN. Bam Oz.

Accept that it's kino.

One story I read is that they wanted it to be explicit that Oz is a real place in the film, but the filmmakers were forced to nix such connotations due to executives. I'm not certain the following is the actual case, but I think they conjectured that to suggest Oz was a real place would be insulting and/or dangerous to suggest during the Great Depression.

Movie executives. You often hear actors and directors lament bad or misleading marketing; this is a perfect example of it. They thought they would make more money if they tricked people into thinking it was about the kangaroo.

This was honestly one of the WORST cartoons I've ever seen

>A Doom cartoon not just being a GI Joe clone with Cobra replaced by "monsters from the dark realm". and a kickass toyline and Ocean Group voice talent.

Come on user.

Didn't the movie have Dorothy describe her experience in Oz as a dream? I doubt most would send her to a psychiatric ward over that, even in the 30's.

also the fantastic Beetlejuice cartoon and the Batman:tas that started the best DCAU.

same
