3:40 That's Hannah Sim, she's the Saturn lady in the Sega Saturn commercial

this series was actually green lit but Henry got a call from Tim Burton asking him to do Nightmare, so he left it behind

I’d never thought that I’d witness a Tim Burton fever dream

amazing

Henry on the guitar, luv it

A fantastic discovery of magnificent filmmaking beyond conventional animation/story telling!

Awesome to watch and discover where the voice samples from some of the interludes in the Residents Demons Dance Alone album come from. “Over here Bob, times up for now”

Gothic

Absolutely stunning!! Thanks.

Incrível, 1997. Mtv

The obvious question is what even would the show have been like?? I can see it as a bunch of 5 minute cartoons like Aeon Flux

Somehow in all the times I've watched this I missed that the members of Osseus Labyrint were the main cast. RIP Hannah :,(

Blessed movie

My Haunted early 90s Mares as a kid watchingthis on MTV, , Hello again.

This short never looked better! I remember what some of the original elements looked like as Henry shot the flat animation on my camera. Besides the digital color correction, these new dust & scratch removal programs make a huge difference!

interesting

Such fond memories...This came out around the same time my little sister was born. Lol...

Man the singing resident is such a great voice actor, he should’ve done more

*Almost an avant-garde retelling of the book **_Flatland_** by Edwin Abbott Abbott.* Except done with photographic citizens... ODD but LOVELY! The Residents add the just the right soundtrack for this clip! .............Thanks for posting! 📷 ⌚- ᵂᴬᵀᶜᴴ ᵒᵘᵗ

So let me try and understand this show. This was going to be a series about a man who travels to different dimensions to help other people out, while back at home his conjoined twin sisters harass him.

Finally!!!! Thank you Heather! Big fan of Henrys and The Residents since forever! I worked on the Aeon Flux MTV series and remember seeing this about that time and ended up playing it at my nightclub in the industrial from time to time - people loved it!

Warning this gave me a seziure

I remember seeing this air on MTV when I was like 4-5 years old back in the early 90's. It has been seared in my memory ever since.

Today Slow Bob plays the monster on Stranger Things.

I am

This is fantastic quality (both the work itself and the scan). Thanks for uploading, say hi to Henry for us :-)

It's cool to see the film that impressed Tim Burton enough to hire Selick to direct, "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

LOVE this! Wonderfully reminiscent of Forbidden Zone and Pee Wee's Playhouse.

OMG!!!!! Saw this when I was 15 and have been looking for it forever!!!!!

Very nice quality clip. I remember seeing this on MTV back in the day, and I thought it was really cool. I always wanted to see a follow up, but its been so long now, I doubt that can ever happen.

Seems like Henry Selick has a thing for scissors. If you've seen the movie Twice Upon a Time he uses them in a sequence as well. EDIT (3/2/2024): I just realized he did the same thing for Monkeybone when the dog is having a nightmare with cats about to cut his balls off.

The Residents?!

A lot of Slow Bob's animation seems to foreshadow how Henry would have Jack animated in Nightmare Before Christmas. Also, I love how his individual parts allow for squash and stretch in some shots.

Yes! I'm so glad this has been digitally scanned! Thank you.

Thank you thank you thank you for this quality. You made my day!

So this once, more than 20 years ago, I think. Never forget it. Really great!

This work is so astonishing, so intense, that it cannot get any dislike!

Some of the audio for this was used in the segues in Demons Dance Alone.

Beautiful film, I wish there were more of them. Thank you, Heather.

I'm confused about the idea of MTV showing music videos. I thought it was a garbage reality tv station.

MEEEEEEMORIIIIIEEEEEES... God, seeing this again just takes me back to when I had a VHS copy of the _Nightmare Before Christmas_ laserdisc's behind-the-scenes material. Too bad Disney had to cut most of it--including this--out for the DVD release.

Wow this is really beautiful animation. I love Henry Selick's work so much, it had such a specific flair to it.

Thanks for the best quality ever seen for this clip, Heather... Selick?! Now this totally looks like something else! Wonderful, undecypherable little creep. Too bad Henry never made it into an actual series, I wonder how beautiful, dreamlike and hauntingly weird it might have been. Still waiting for another film of his...
