YouTube Goodness

[Daniel]

What a throwback! The nostalgia.

[James]

Speaking of nostalgia... one of the most watched videos in YT history was uploaded 15 years go today.

October 21, 2015 in Back to the Future... and now April 6, 2021 in Tiny Toons. The future has arrived.

it's not 'YouTube' goodness .. but on a similar note, Archie comics published a story back in the 1990s which featured Betty & Veronica attending 'virtual' high school classes -- in the year 2021 -- with some uncannily-prescient details!

I'll just leave this here...

A nice taster for tonight's viewing...!

It does keep fuzzing my brain, though, how Bruce Baxter can turn up in this.

[Daniel]

Very well done edit.

Disney gets into AI and boy is it creepy:

Although it does kinda remind me of this. Lol. .

Maybe when Pirates Of The Caribbean does break down one day, the pirates may well shoot the tourists!

(See, I’m mixing all my Michael Crichton theme park references in that one!)

[Daniel]

Even before clicking I knew it would be Simpsons. You are so predictable!

[ShyViolet]

Yeah, I know.

Wow! I just found this YouTube channel, which has a bunch of Disney's Wonderful World of color episodes, including a few highlighting one of my favourite characters, Ludwig Von Drake! Plus, Disneyland, Wonderful World of Disney, and dozens of TV specials (like the grand opening of Euro Disney)! So much to explore...

Is this news? Had anyone else here found this...? Looks like they started posting a few months ago.

This is awesome, and exactly what I wanted to watch on Disney+...

A shame the episodes are cut to remove the widely available film excerpts, but it’s still an awesome way to be able to see the newly created links and material created especially for these shows!

It did take me a while to find that there’s more than just the things showing under Videos; there's a lot more under Playlists...oh, dear, I’m going to be spending a lot of time there! And the lengthy version of Toot, Whistle, Plunk And Boom! That was an excellently packed show of musical shorts that used the original short as linking material and worked really really well. That and the Aesop To Andersen one, which I’ve been looking for since I wiped a VHS on the early 80s.

Wow...just hope they don’t get shut down or have clips removed, but they only have a relatively small numbers of viewers so hopefully they’ll stay under the radar for a while! Thanks for the find!

[Daniel]

So much vintage content and so much that has been untapped! Yes, hopefully nothing happens to the channel. Every time something like that pops up it doesn't last long.

So, THIS just turned up--
Apparently, various surviving pencil tests and animatics from that legendary Robert Zemeckis 3D CGI "Yellow Submarine" remake that Disney might have subjected us to, had Mars not been in such dire need of Moms:
(Apparently, Pepperland has flying pegasi, and Blue Meanies come from the center of the earth...)

I wasn't sure whether this was the Zemeckis, until that bizarre over-literalized version of Eleanor Rigby, and then....yyyep, that's the Christmas Carol guy. Pret-ty much.

I was about to post this. Fascinating to see. I have mixed feelings of regret and relief that the project did not proceed.
