"Inside the Disney Vault" SNL Cartoon

[bambifan56]

Did anyone else see this? HAHAHAHA... It was on tonights SNL and said since Bambi II is going in the vault Tues, they they were going to release a video about the Disney vault, it even featured some Song Of the South clips Haha, "Jim Henson!?!?"...I don't wanna spoil it. Whenever I find it on the internet I'll post it.

I was thinking a bout posting this just after it aired but I changed my mind. Anyway it was pretty funny and yet disturbing at the same time.

And that is simultaneously funny and disturbing. Not fully work safe...

Thanks for the link, Wondy. Glad those YouTubers are so fast, as I missed this last night - happy to see it just 15 hours later or so! Anyway, I liked the concept and taking Disney to task for pretending <i>Song of the South</i> never happened, making all sorts of sequels, and promoting <i>Bambi II</i>'s quick exit. Funnily enough, I think "the original version" of <i>Song of the South</i> is what most people expect to get before seeing it for the first time.

The cracks at Walt himself (HUAC, anti-semitic) were tired and unnecessary. There's a moment in certain TV Funhouse sketches when Robert Smigel (I'm assuming, he's the one chiefly involved in them) wanders into social commentary and the cartoon ceases to be funny. Fortunately, that was brief here. All in all, not a bad little cartoon, though the <i>101 Dalmatians</i> "sequel" seemed a little uncalled for.

I liked the names of the sequels they thought of...until the last one. That and the Jim Henson (sp) joke were the highlights of the video.

[Harbinger]

That was awesome!! Even though SNL is kinda boring now they do have their moments of funny. Now if only they put the same effort in their live sketches.

I loved Mickey's exasperation and apologetic behavior... LOL! Kinda speaks for all the tired Disney historians out there. At least the subject of "subliminal messages" in the contemporary animated films didn't come up - unless you count the visual gag where Mickey takes down those framed stills of Jessica Rabbit's "no panties" moment and Sunflower, the black centaurette from Fantasia.

The Walt swipes were all in fairness, in my humble opinion. The man wasn't perfect - far from it. And yet, since his death, there seems to be a sort of specialized type of "Disney Apologetics" that have cropped up, not unlike the ludicrous field of Christianity study of the same name. I think the TV Funhouse short was poking more fun at that really, than the man himself.

Heh... and methinks 101 Fellations (clever title) is only just, as a follow-up to Pokahotass.

The 101 Dalmatians 'sequel' was kind of disturbing! Everything else was funny. Especially The Lion King 5 2/3!!!!!

HA HA, brilliant! "Jungle Blog," Jim Henson, TLK 5 2/3......oh, I'll be laughing all week!

The "cryogenically frozen" joke is getting very old...wasn't Walt cremated?

Yes he was cremated.
The jabs at Walt were pretty lame and uncalled for. The Anti-semetic myth has been proven untrue. The HUAC stuff should be put in context of it's time.
I liked parts of it, but some of it was too mean spirited.

[Harbinger]

The cryogenicaclly head was porven false so many times mainly caus the technology was invented years after he died.

So I guess the new rule is that teh Lohan will host one show a year and that SNL will make Disney jokes in each of those episodes. A good SNL overall, and I thought this skit was pretty funny, but too harsh at times. Still, I'm impressed that anyone outside of UD knew enough about Disney to make something like that.

Personally, I found the short unfunny. This is the first one I've seen about Disney though.(were there any other about Disney?)

The constant DTV jokes, the frozen Walt Disney jokes, the "hidden" rumors about jokes were all tiring and outdated, not to mention crude and uncalled for.

The Jim Henson and Song of the South were kinda new and original and somewhat amusing, but I found the whole segment to be lame and crude.

Then again, I was never to fond of SNL in general.

[RyougaLolakie]

Good ol' TV Fun House. However, some parts were tiresome but still enjoyable. I liked the "Pocohantass" comeback with a new name "101 Felonations", the still frames of Jessica Rabbit and Sunflower, and the SNL parody of Lion King 5 2/3. So far, great cartoon sketch!

[pinkrenata]

TV Funhouse shorts always end up being a little too crude for my tastes, but I was pretty happy to catch this one last night. As always, it had a few too many bawdy moments, but like Aaron, I found it pretty impressive (maybe even a little surprising?) that someone outside of UD actually knows and cares enough about Disney DVDs to create a humorous cartoon short entirely devoted to the subject.

Smigel himself must be a Disney fan, Bambi esp., or else he would not be able to of made such a funny parody and know what those rumors were, shoot, he may even be a member of this board

It would have been a classic, if he would have not bashed Walt the man. The Lion King 5 2/3: Simba sits in for Meredith was awesome.

[bambifan56]

Yeah, they were just poking fun at all the urban legends, wouldnt be funny if there wasn't anything to poke fun at

Though it's not really ABOUT Disney so much as INVOLVING Disney...
