Did Angela Anaconda Cause A Divorce? No, Of Course Not.

[@flameemperor9548]

the whiplash I felt as kid going to the theaters sitting down and watching whatever this was pop up to then go immediately into the digirap was unreal

[@kaijuhaus]

Same 😂

[@Thrillhou]

Yep!! "Whiplash" describes it perfectly. I had absolutely no idea what Angela Anaconda was at the time, despite being from the GTA, so this was my first exposure to it. I was sitting there in the theatre holding my popcorn bucket and holographic collector card that you got free with your ticket, just staring slack-jawed like "What the actual fuck.....?"

[@radioactivebirdj.1845]

I had a bootleg VHS tape that was only the Angela Anaconda short then it just cuts to static. For years I thought that was the entire Digimon movie.

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Really?

[@MrNickOSirLOST]

Angela Anaconda has been voiced by the same voice actor as Kari in Germany. It was kinda interesting in the theaters because Kari was also the narrator of that whole awesome film and thinking of it, one could have thought that Angela Anaconda was that narrator by voice alone 😂 (but not really, she voiced Angela much louder, more crazy and quirkyer than Kari so even I personally could differentiate them as a 5 year old)

[@thedigiknow]

The idea of Angela anaconda narrating the entirety of the Digimon movie is so funny to me

[@Deyogee]

Now THIS is the trivia I want to know about.

[@asrafkhalid1231]

so... your telling me this isnt some fever dream i experience when i was a kid? 😅😅😂

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

While it's clearly a fake story once it's been explained (especially as it literally echoes the story of the short), as a child of divorced parents, I could absolutely believe that happening. When a marriage is that much on the rocks, parents unfortunately have a habit of getting pretty darn petty. Sticking together for the sake of their child is not something that is done much anymore, as 'freedom' is much more valued. I tolerated a lot of really ugly animated stuff as a kid (I'm in the UK, most things are ugly), but Angela Anaconda was the single most disturbing thing I'd ever come across. I could not relax when that was on. Ick.

[@adultmoshifan87]

I’m also from the UK but Angela wasn’t the only cartoon I rejected because of its art style, I also rejected Spaced Out, Horrid Henry, even (I’m REALLY sorry to say!) Ed, Edd & Eddy and King of The Hill on the same grounds!

[@neighborhood_nova]

I remember seeing this in theaters man such a throwback

[@ivanthegreat5757]

I think what actually made the little boy upset was because he doesn't understand what's going on. It can be stressful for the little boy because he really wants to see the Digimon movie.

[@ShadowSonic2]

But the Angela skit clearly has them talking about Digimon and going to the Digimon movie, it shouldn't be hard to figure out

[@CreativeSteve69]

I loved Angela Anaconda as a kid growing up through the 2000s as a teen. I also went in wanting to see the movie. I also loved Angela Anacada and it's fun unique style show as well as digimon. So going into the movie I was surprised to see a Angela Anaconda short attached to the movie. I was watching it with joy though cuz it felt like watching a bonus episode before the movie which made me really happy as a teen. :)

[@DigiWarriorCallum]

Even as a 6 year old, I found this so bad, it was incredible. My original guilty pleasure that I'd rewind on the video tape to enjoy the random BS. Ah, good times XD

[@HeroTen10]

I never had any strong thoughts about the Angela short at the beginning, and am really surprised to find out that people care enough to hate it.

[@Karn_EX]

Angela Spirit Evolution>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[@DaleKamp]

13 year old me immediately saw this for what it was when I was alone in theaters. I applauded the attempt on Fox's part, but ultimately cringed and felt it could've been executed differently.

[@MrAnthem123]

I owned that Halloween cd when I was a kid, I had no idea that it was the Baha Men on it. I also remember that my Digimon the Movie vhs tape somehow ended up in our fish tank. No one confessed to the deed but it must have been someone who didn’t appreciate 8 year old me watching it practically on loop. Probably my older sister lol

[@DerrickDX]

Well you can now have a Blu Ray!!!😅😂

[@NoRegretsHomestuck]

Angela Anaconda was one of my all time favourite shows that was on when I was a kid and DIGIMON has always been my all time favourite of everything so I was psyched to see this! I must be one of the few adults in the world that still really loves Angela Anaconda and isn’t freaked out by the art style.

[@Wandervenn]

I loved this short and it holds a nostalgic place in my heart now

[@verylostdoommarauder]

I personally think the divorce story is an exaggeration of something that actually happened. The original poster probably remembered being confused by the short and thought it would be funny to make up that it caused their parents' divorce.

[@MizunaBlueNote]

I liked Angela Anaconda as a kid. Plus, in Germany, Angela had the same voice as Kari, Gordy had Davis' voice, Nanette the voice of Mimi, and Gina had the voice of Yun, Davis' sister. So, a lot of the Digimon voiceactors were assembled anyways, which for me was kind of a link to Digimon. :D

[@thedigiknow]

Whoa that's super interesting! Must have been weird to hear their voices twice playing different characters in the "same" movie !

[@MizunaBlueNote]

It certainly was. :D But then agsin, you could hear these voice actors in a lot of TV shows at the time, and we were always happy, whenever we recognized them anywhere.

[@bubbycraft66]

I did not know of the existence of this short until just now. Our copy of the VHS did not have this short, and I only vaguely remember this show.

[@TV247]

Honestly I enjoyed the short not gonna lie. I was a pretty avid watcher of Fox Kida back in the day, so I basically enjoyed every shows they had, and Digimon and Angela Anaconda were no different. So seeing an Angela Anaconda short before The Digimon Movie was a nice surprise.

[@TWLSpark]

This was the thing my nightmares as a kid were made out of. I had a pirated copy of the dubbed movie, and just like you could expect from a pirated movie in the early 2000s, they kept the short from beginning to end for some godforsaken reason.

[@fernandomalpica1870]

You know? This reminds me of when Sonic mix chocolate and Jalapenos in their smoothies.

[@fernandomalpica1870]

@@RoninCatholic it still been served here in Houston so I don't know if it was a Texas only thing or just city wide. I can walk up to a Sonic and ask for one even though is not longer in the poster menu. Commercial will pop up sometimes too.

[@juken16]

This whole video I'm just thinking how did you find HD videos for the movie

[@lordwoopdeedoo]

I never really had a problem with the Angela Anaconda short but as someone who's first experience with Digimon was renting the Digimon movie from Blockbuster as a kid because it reminded me of Pokemon, having it be the first thing I saw when I started watching left me very confused

[@marvelboi3416]

Having a short before a animated film was a big thing back in the days. Heck even Nickelodeon did it when they played Hey Arnold in front of Michelle Trachtenberg live action film Harriet The Spy and their Rugrats movies.... When I first saw Digimon The Movie in theaters I thought it was cool and funny to see Angela Anaconda short play before the actually movie.

[@Firedrake-SP]

I have doubts about the "divorce" rumor being true.

[@SquirreLJ7]

I think it was forgivable to have, like, in the theatrical release, but I wish it was a separate short in extras or something on the DVD release and things like that. I think if it were separate it could be beloved like that weird Far Far Away Idol short that came with one of the Shrek movies, but it's the fact that you HAVE to sit through this cringe any time you want to watch Omnimon bust out the coolest gun in anime history that really makes it hateable.

[@Omegajunior2658]

I remember watching Digimon the Movie for the first time on VHS 📼 (UK and Eire version) in January 2002 when I was a preteen. It was alright for myself. I don't know why Digimon the Movie included the short film based on Angela Anaconda, an infamous Canadian-American cartoon from the 2000s. It doesn't even make any sense to me at all. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@lambo566]

Omg, so that wasn't a fever dream from when I was a kid

[@FAITERA]

I had never heard of this Digimon Halloween song loool thank you

[@Scumner]

As a kid I hated it, but I’ve grown to appreciate it a lot more over the years! ❤

[@iman-2880]

i used to love angela anaconda when it aired on teletoon. im surprised it had alott of hate when i rediscovered it on the internet many years later. my high school friends back then also expressed thier hatred on that show too. and your right, the short was eventually turned into a full episode later on. i actually remember the episode version of the short much more, as the short was cut when the movie aired on YTV.

[@mysticDchimp]

Angela Anaconda is the creepiest looking cartoon i have ever seen. I always changed the channel when it came on.

[@gravityhero2227]

I try to block it out of my memory.

[@ChaosBloodNinja]

I remember watching AA a couple of times as a kid but have no idea whether or not it was influenced by the Digimon movie short. Maybe it was just on or maybe this absolute madness convinced me it was worth giving a shot.

[@battlestar976]

It seems harmless but it is kinda goofy it kicks off every copy of the movie.

[@Coomamon_Memes]

She made every copy of that movie hit like the vhs from the ring. Cursed footage.

[@stephenadams8712]

The fact my DVD of the movie has the short and I have to fast forward it every time is so annoying

[@gabzpot]

I loved Angela Anaconda as a kid too. I was raised here in Brazil with Canadian and Australian tv shows. I have so much love for these animation and live action shows.

[@muisely13]

Canada representation always wins! I loved Angela Anaconda as kid too! And the short in the movie scratches that itch for Angela Anaconda rewatch.

[@AZ-697]

I still have trauma from seeing Angela in the theater when all I wanted was Digimon. Angela Anaconda is a crime against humanity.

[@matthewlynn6108]

“I’ve never used 4chan” Damn what a flex.

[@asteroid11]

Dude, I had that CD, totally forgot about it til now. The Angela Anaconda song is definitely the most memorable, I remember my brothers and I would goof on it all the time. "Boo! I'm gonna scare you. Boo! Ninny Poo.", something like that 😂

[@Freezient]

Real or not, what I hate is people saying that Digimon is the one that causes the divorce, blaming Digimon when it was Anaconda’s fault lol

[@Venom3254]

I still believe that this dragged down Digimon in the West and caused irreparable harm to the ip.

[@chrisa.2323]

I used to rewind the VHS absentmindedly while doing something else so the tape would start from the very beginning and having to hurdle over the short and not pass the instant explosive start of Greymon fighting the bird just irked me enough times in my life to hate the show (that I've never watched) with a passion.

[@KariFeRawri]

Talking about Fox Kids, any of you remember some real music videos in the commercials? I'm looking for one where is I think a rock band of women and cat puppet(?) appears in the videlo. I don't remember it that well, but I want to. That's the only information I remember.

That’s probably for the best

[@fumomofumosarum5893]

it may have been okay for kids that age, but i was like 10 years over that age and at that point it just felt awkward. i mean, even more awkward than going into an anime movie in the first place ^^;

[@pariscanwait348]

I loved this short as a kid

[@adultmoshifan87]

If a cartoon’s visuals don’t appeal to me, I avoid it like the plague, this (I’m sorry to say) includes Angela Anaconda. It aired on Cartoon Network, Channel 4 and (later that decade) Pop here in Britain and when I saw the initial 2 promos Cartoon Network aired prior to its April 2000 premiere, I thought “Nah, I’m not gonna watch that”, even though I was (and still am) an avid Cartoon Network viewer! Other cartoons I chose not to watch because their visuals rubbed me the wrong way include Spaced Out, Horrid Henry, even (I’m REALLY sorry to say!) Ed, Edd & Eddy and King of The Hill! As much as I despise Angela Anaconda, I’m fine with you liking it! That segment before the Digimon movie may not have caused a divorce but I bet the Dora short before the new Paw Patrol movie did! (Seriously, Dora was my MOST HATED cartoon as a teenager!)

[@nicksrandomreviews]

Somehow I always forget about Angela Anaconda. I...have no idea how, or why. It's so memorably bad. I recall watching it a lot, but usually because it was on before something I wanted to watch.

[@MackRangerPower]

That thing is the worst part of the movie. No reason to be attached to it. And now it’s forever connected to it.

[@canisblack]

...I found the whole thing so off putting I actually managed to forget it existed until somebody reminded me of it a couple of years ago.

[@gamecitysavior2910]

It's simple the crossover was to help get viewers to watch Fox family (new channel at the time) the most watched kids show on the channel. Both of these show cross promoted at some point play some Angela episodes on fox Kids & Digimon reruns play on a fox family version of toonami on Sunday.

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

[@pennysanchez7656]

You know what I love with children's cartoons and anime? Executive meddling! Okay, I'm being sarcastic but you know how often corporate meddling will tamper your project more often than not, and the Angela Anaconda short was one of the many examples.

[@jvever4904]

The biggest problem with the Angela Andaconda short is that it's forever embedded in the film if you buy the 4kids dub and you literally can't skip it. I never knew what Angela Andaconda was, and even if I did I'd never watch it, so it's just three and a half minutes of a cringey crossover advertisement I'd fastforwards through.

[@SmellyNerd]

I liked Angela Anaconda as a kid, it wasn't my MAIN thing, but i liked watching it whenever available That being said , i would get excited about Digimon way more, and even back then that Angela detour was the most upsetting thing ever Not only whoever wrote it had a shitty view of what Digimon even was about but it also reinforced parents on their low view of the thing kids wanted to see Angela was always painted to be this view of how a kid sees things, and react, even kids wanting to watch a digimon movie But it only came off as a Fox Kids making canon that Digimon was silly and made absolutely no sense and they just slap -mon on any word and have stereotypical kaiju battles like power rangers. Like after this a big chunk of parents would just roll their eyes being like ''Yep that's pretty much what this crap is'' while every kid just tries their best to insist that whatever Angela was doing , WASN'T close to what digimon was, not counting the cringe of hearing ''Angela-mon'' out loud unironically, yep..

[@Sir_Loin_]

As a digifan I love the short

[@SergirothGames]

I'm gonna have to disagree with you in this. I really didn't like Angela Anaconda's show at all. When I saw it in front of the movie as a kid, I felt bitter. Nowadays, I see it was not bad at all, but it is too late to explain that to my younger self xD

[@thedigiknow]

Agreeing to disagree is okay! I said that I liked the show back in the day, others didn’t!

[@SergirothGames]

@@thedigiknow hahaha! I was meaning my disagreement exactly like that, in a positive way. Watching your video has given my old self a new perspective about the whole thing, and now I have come to realise that it was probably the best move.

If the parents divorced only because of a cartoon it means their relationship was already going down. Even if wasn't because of Angela sooner or later they would fight because of something else and divorce.
