Angry Cabaret by John R. Dilworth ( WIP version )

John R. Dilworth's 1994 MTV Networks pilot. Copyright MTV Networks 1994.
Due to music copyright issues, the 2023 video segments updated by William "Hoho" Hohauser are absent. We could only share the current version with temp videos by David Evgenikos. Perhaps we will find a resolve and share Williams' version in the future.

He only gave it to us so we'll like him...

Very impressive digital animation here, especially for 1994. It must've been time-consuming since the medium was practically brand new. Margaret Frey's background art is so beautiful too! I also liked hearing the snippet of you giving direction to Cabarets voice actress over the credits Mr. Dilworth. :)

[@overfoxed]

Nothing will ever surpass this art direction. It's just so unique, don't know exactly what it is but it has always captivated me

[@LiamButler2006]

Fun fact: DillyPen is the font that's used in the closing credits.

[@GojiraCartoonSciFiHorrorFan2K]

This is still one of the Greatest Shorts you ever did John R. Dilworth. I can't exactly remember when I found this, but I think it was somewhere in 2011 back when I was 11. What I do remember is Enjoying Every Moment of it & rewatching it now I Still Do! The Settings, Character Designs & The Characters Themselves, Animation, Voice Acting, Humor, Etc. Thank You For Inspiring Me With Your Phenomenal Work & Characters!

[@mmmmmmmmm95]

This short shows how great John Dilworth is, if he directed Hazbin Hotel or Helluba Boss he would make it a classic

[@adrielleakuryo]

Cabaret is my waifu.

[@solomonbustos8789]

What an amazing pilot!!! Angry Cabaret was very interesting and had great characters!! The Brain gang were cool characters you created!! 30 years ago wow!! Bummer it didn't become full series! Like Cabaret said He only gave it to us so we'll like him. Stay Animated!

[@obscuremix8198]

John R. Don't you dare to ever change. Okay?!

[@MadlyNadly]

This humor is timeless!

[@BadgerGabe]

Definitely a John Dilly hallucination, I quite enjoy seeing the art style I grew up with re-emerge when I'm older and can still giggle from the weirdness. Story made no sense but it is something I feel is about to grow and sprout more, unless it was truly a wild fever dream then feels a little bit more in place. Nice video and thanks for sharing this with us 😁😁

[@isaiahdaniels5643]

Feels like a dream. Like a real dream.

[@vandread3555]

I would watch this if there was a whole series on it.

[@starlightsoiree]

There are two kinds of cartoons I adore: ones with engaging stories and visuals that only animation could convey, and what ever Dilly's been doing since before I was born

[@matcha6710]

Really wish MTV picked it up. Shame it didn't.

[@Urukfairy]

Well, this was awesome to wake up to on a Saturday morning. I miss how cartoons used to be.

[@sabrina-br4br]

the Lady Gaga cameo makes so much sense

[@StingerWanjiro]

[@bramvangompel6770]

Takes me back to the nostalgic days of animation, when pink dogs lived in Nowhere and birds were still mooning

[@utaatu4576]

[@Lucario4thewin]

Cartoon Network said no? Fools!

[@schimnesthaiunhinged]

I love this!!

[@adrielleakuryo]

I remembered when the other version of this has a different music video, what was it originally before it was replaced by Telephone by Lady Gaga? Also, big win of having an super ugly but super cute girl, Cabaret.

[@bitchypooch]

The Shamen - Move Any Mountain

[@daisygirl1993]

Is this quite familiar from The episode of Courage The Cowardly Dog - (Coment Cabarey) They on Hollywood and they fell from the manhole filled with slimy body on the walls, and courage saved cabarey host's (a fancy man with white suit) life

[@frogglen6350]

oh cool

[@selfinexile]

classic

[@daisygirl1993]

1:00 - that voice is quite familiar for me (i don't remember his name)

[@romaldtime]

Well, his voice reminds me to Mark Hamill in his role of Skips in Regular Show

[@ChrisWTFern]

Why did you add Lady Gaga footage? It feels extremely out of place.

[@thelaylistchannel1376]

Gag replacement

[@ChrisWTFern]

@@thelaylistchannel1376 ok why though

[@thelaylistchannel1376]

@ChrisWTFern because the original videos were added by MTV after dilly sent finished the animation to them. Do you get it now?

[@ChrisWTFern]

​@@thelaylistchannel1376 That doesn't explain why it was replaced with Lady Gaga. It's like twice as loud as the rest of audio and completely ruins the joke of the son rapidly listing the names of all the bands they showed him.

[@thelaylistchannel1376]

@ChrisWTFern read my comment again you fool. This specific upload was originally unlisted which can be easily access by visiting dilly's website.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

This was 1994? It felt like it was brand new!

[@mitchelltheawesome1]

Angry's voice actor deserves a firm handshake. There's something about his performance I absolutely love, but can't quite place my finger on it.

[@SnackPackSilkens]

This is so chaotic, reminds me of one of those old computer games where you clicked on stuff and things would happen.

[@frogglen6350]

I like the voice acting

[@Ms.Fowlbwahhh]

This is amazing Mr. Dilworth! Thank you for sharing this. It’s a shame it never got greenlit.

[@Glori4n]

John this is so amazing. I really enjoy your work. Full of symbolism and easter eggs.

[@narek323]

Idk why, but the song at the beginning reminded me of Mortal Kombat. Isn't that character based on Conway (the pilot from Courage)? or the other way around.

[@kjw21411]

Why are the original live action videos missing and what was that they were replaced by?

[@CharaDreemurr15243]

So good to see classics, and good to see your work! Hope you're doing well, Dilly!

[@Mariohenri90]

I can't believe I never seen this before. This is very funny. It's a shame this never got picked up.

[@adrielleakuryo]

Second comment on this, Dilworth. I can already tell that Angry and Cabaret have an adorable relationship than most romantic relationships in cartoons, despite being an MTV Short.

[@LonelyOutlaw]

Thank you for uploading this!

[@excitablepack7076]

I feel like this took place in the big stinkin’ city.

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

That's a good hallucination there Dilly! Stay Animated.

[@daisygirl1993]

This is so creepy

[@drew3906]

Lovin' the oldschool house

[@Mackze]

The brain gang sounds a lot like Eustace's foot fungus, I see a lot of other similarities to Courage as well, very cool

[@dogewood5499]

So, aside from all the drug references and inside jokes associated with the Club scene of the 90’s, Cabaret’s character was designed off of British Dance Music and Pop singer Cathy Dennis. Her accent is noticeably Texan due to the origins of “Hard Clubbing” in the US started in Dallas in the late 80’s. Lot of references and stuff with this: it’s so nostalgic…

[@KK_Draws_Stuff]

This was great- thanks for uploading it John

[@adamharris7775]

I watched Angry Cabaret when I was 13 years old in 2010-2011.

[@panychu]

This is frikkin amazing ahhh!!! Who did the voices? They were superb!!

[@daisygirl1993]

Why there's a Lady Gaga music video "Telephone" in 1994?

[@JeffreyThrash]

The '90's was the best. I'm proud to say that I am almost as old as this pilot.

[@stellazhong973]

Telephone by Lady Gaga.

[@Katzz33355]

This is awesome c':

[@TheyLoveThemLLC]

I really wanna know what was on the television originally, but this was a fun replacement. I REALLY enjoyed this! I think it was all over the place in a GOOD way, and told a really silly, cohesive story. I enjoy your way of storytelling. Also the curved buldings, and the house with the mouth for the Angry Cabaret? Very Cool World, very excellent.

[@mrwalterstakeharrisandtugo1762]

Yay more films from Mr. Dilworth. I would say I have the dvd set of season 2 of courage for like 9 or 12 years I am still laughing to this day. Courage screams all over the world.
