GI Joe The Secret of the Mummy's Tomb (JiM SWEET)

The best kids book and record ever.
I took my old GI Joe book and record and scanned in all the pictures. The I made the mouth for each picture by drawing them in on paint shop pro. Then I laid each frame into the movie maker program and mixed it with the audio from the record. So I basically animated this but just the mouths mostly.

[@alayne37]

Man, what a great find! I'm 47 and I had this back in the late 70's. I have been looking for this for so long. The kids nowadays will never have the imagination us kids had back in the day. This used to take me so far away. Wish I was still sitting on the floor with book in hand and just listening to the story being played on my small record player. What good times! Thank you!

[@HardyGirl66]

WOW! That was so cool! I even called my 78 yr. old mom in to watch it, and even she was impressed. I'm a huge Adventure Team fan. I have all of these records, loads of figures, vehicles, uniforms and gear. (and I'm a woman!) I really hope you decide to do more, and maybe put them on video or DVD. I'd definitely buy one!

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

Positively genius! I did not see this book or hear this audio as a child but it still had the power to transport me back to my childhood and some of the made up adventures my brother and I acted out in our home back in the '70s. Excellent work, Jim. It is obvious from the finished product that you invested some time and effort into putting this out there. Fantastic idea and equally fantastic execution.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Thanks. It is a great record, especially for me and when I first listened to it. I know didn't add to much to it and all the real credit goes to the original creators. The book and record easily works on it own. I just had to be a part of it somehow and I hope I added just a little bit more to bring it to life and have other people see what I liked when I was younger.

[@thejimm2009]

jim, you just brought a tear to my eye. awesome work. it's been 31 years since i've heard these..now it seems like yesterday. thanks for posting...and making a 44 year old man feel 12 again. you have earned...a kung-fu grip salute!

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

i just got this on ebay today. it arrived. i seen this a week ago. reminded me when i had it as a child. found it on ebay and now i got it. mint shape original for 15 dollars. so bad ass. i love it.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Thanks for the nice compliment. I think this and anything can all be reintroduced if people were willing to do it. To a young person everything is new and people forget that. If it's old to someone else they have to remember there are always people out there who haven't seen it yet. It's proven today in a way more then ever with the movie biz and remakes.

[@mrelectric40]

I listened to this story hundreds of times when I was a kid. I had the copter and all four story records... brilliantly done! Bravo!!

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

i cant thank you enough. i am 43 years old and i seen something on ebay that reminded me of this. the gijoe toy of this story. i forget all about this. i had this as a very tiny kid. and when i seen it today i seen there is a 45 and book. i thought ours was a bigger album with more than one story on it i forget. but i got to relive this. this was to amazing bro

[@73randylee73]

Yeah, definitely. This was so cool. I LOVED the GI Joe records as a kid...listened to them over and over. If you have the time, that would be awesome.

[@am2boni]

Back in the 70's, my cousin had this and I listened to it continuously. I later purchased it before Ebay. But, when I saw this on KZbin, I freaked out!!1 I love the animation!!! You have brought back good memories!!! Thanks!!!!

[@SamuelTyree1]

I had 3 of the 4 records/books back in the 70s. No matter how much I begged, my mom would never buy me this one. I remember very clearly it was in a spinning rack next to the check out lane at the local IGA store. 40 years later, I finally get to read/listen to the record!

[@kookiemoose]

I had this when I was a kid. Thank you so much! This is awesome. It's been 39 years since I last heard it.

[@am2boni]

A classic! I came back for more! I love it!

[@jeffreybanks0519]

Thanks so much for posting. I had all four GI Joe book and record stories and listened to time for hours in the 70's. Great memories of being a kid!! I play these for my kids now on KZbin...

[@ArchieFatToFit]

Thanks for this! I was just quoting this book to my son when I thought I might find it here! I was 5 when I got this and now at 43 I still remember it like yesterday!! Yeah, I forget all the really important stuff and remember a fun thing like this verbatim.....anyway, many thanks for some cool memories!! Awesome work on the effects too!!

[@MrSExperience]

I used to listen to this repeatedly as a kid and loved it. You did a GREAT job on this.

[@Greatwazoo42]

Perfectly done! This is my childhood right here and you brought it to life for me again. Thank you very much.

[@MrLawman64]

Fantastic!! Love the how you brought this book & record to LIFE! Great job my friend. Had all four books when I was a youngster. Would so love to see you do the rest of the books. Thanks again!

[@MikeGervasi]

I must have listened to this one a hundred times as a kid. Even brought it into school for show and tell. Thank you.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Cool. Thanks. My brothers and sisters and I listened to this and other records all the time too. We also had one of the ghost story records you cut off a cereal box. It's on youtube too. It's good to hear that one again since we lost it a long time ago. Glad to spark up a good old memory.

[@dmacnic]

...A Peter Pan Book and Record! This takes me back to playing GI Joe with my brothers on the blue/white shag carpet in our Bedroom(with the Spirit of 1976 wallpaper) There was another one of these records where Joe's friend scares a bunch of african natives who were coming after Joe, by playing his groovy records real loud. I forget what the name of that one was. Anyway, thanks for posting. It's nice to be 10 years old again :)

[@rickfoley5596]

Thank you, it brought back such great memories listening to this on my grandfather's large consul record player.

[@btrow40]

First time in 40 years I saw this. Had this one and Planet of the apes. Was a member of adventure team. Thank you.

[@JELL0803]

Thanks for this upload, I was 7 when my dad bought me this book and I'm continuosly doing the script to my own 10 year old son, but Im going to show this to him now....thanks for this!!!!!

[@Bondfinesse]

I had not heard this since i was a little kid back in 1974, i had this record, matter of fact i had them all , at 43 its great to hear them again

[@twigberriess]

Fantastic!! Very well done!! When I was five, I learned to read from this book and record. Thanks for the memories!!

[@Helderhugo]

hahaha, this is awesome! you must spent a lot of time doing this. Nice Job!

[@TheZappawizard]

Thanks so much for doing this, I loved this book & record as a kid and haven't heard this in 35 years, thanks for the awesome flash back.

[@zstevens7]

I remember loving this as a child many eons ago at the public library. You've done a very nice thing posting this. Thanks!

[@am2boni]

Totally cool! Had to listen to it again!!! a pure treasure of my childhood! Thanks!!!

[@guitardood1]

Thanks for this. I listened to and read this over and over and over and over as a kid. What a memory you brought back with this.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

You're welcome. I thought this record was great as a kid and it is a good memory. This is the only GI Joe record I had back then but since got the rest of the collection out of being curious to how they sounded too. I plan on animating another one with one or two scenes actually with full animation and not just mouths moving.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Cool. Thanks a lot. Memories are all we have in this thing called life. It's nice to remember the good ones.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Thanks. I think I will very soon since a few people seem to want to see that. I plan on adding a few fully animated scenes to those videos along with the slightly animated style used here.

[@jmarac]

That was great! Really brought some back some childhood memories. I had all four GI Joe book and records plus some of the toys.

[@Greatwazoo42]

Love, love love this treatment of the original material. I know it's been 11 years but if you ever return to doing this I'd love to see the other three GI Joe book and record comics given this treatment...including the hidden Jim Sweet signature in the artwork like in this video.

[@kwandomando]

Awesome Job! I loved it, I am an avid G.I. Joe collector and I definitely remember the old peter pan play and read record books. Again great job!

[@wxworry]

I used to have this!! Loved it as a kid!! It scared me when the mummy came out! LOL

[@AlexKnight009]

Hey, this was a really cool blast from the past. I think it's been at least 32 years since I listened to this. It's possible that I may have first listened to this all the way back in 1976. I know. A long time ago. I used to play with those toys before I started getting into the A Real American Hero toy line which started in 1982. I stopped playing with them in 1986 though. I thought that the G.I. Joe movie should've simply been called "G.I. Joe", and been about G.I. Joe i.e. Joseph B. Colton.

[@blackcatbonehouston]

Absolutely brilliant- I had this when I was a kid, along with the space capsule one and the jungle one and all the crap that went with it.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Thanks. I'm thinking about making the other records soon. I'm glad people are interested.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Another one soon I think.

[@sneesnar35]

I used to listen to these in 3rd grade, with the biggest headphones known to man they were better than friends!!

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Haha. I remember those kind of head phones. I still like the things I liked when I was young, mostly because they remind of something good and liking something new. Not many new things to like as you get older, except a new movie here or there.

[@CatCastle99]

took me back to my childhood days. Great work on paint shop pro!

[@clouser1]

Jim, awesome work and this brings back some great memories. I had the Sea Wolf submarine too with the attacking giant squid. Man, that thing got some serious play time back in the day. I also had the secret of the mummy's tomb as well. All kinds of things were unearthed. Great work and Thanks!!

[@krdragon6950]

I had all the story records. This brings back memories!

[@motleyglittergirl]

Awesome! You just made my day! I still have this record and I know it by heart and have it memorize since I was 7yrs old.

[@ArchieFatToFit]

HOLY CRAP!! I was actually saying the lines along with the record. I actually remember them! That either makes me incredibly lame or incredibly.....well, lame. But it's fun dammit!! Thanks!

[@BionicTooth]

Had this! "Let's have some light on the subject!" Fantastic job!

[@aaronmccall3849]

Boy, this brings back some memories.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Thanks. I know the book and record does well on it's own, I just tried to add a little to it and be part of it. Next time I do one I'll try to pick a scene to fully animate.

[@SpaceHospital]

Great job this. Your animation is pretty much seamless, and really does add a lot.

[@jamesb5764]

Oh. My. Gawd. I had this record as a kid and played it no less than 500 times. Watching this now I can almost recite the lines along with the video.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Same here.

[@TyroneEpps]

This album is excellent😊😊😊😊

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Cool. Yeah I remember I had Eagle Eye Joe. You could move his eyes with a switch on the back of his head. He was a newer cheaply or not so durably made GI Joe. I remember playing with him in the pool. When I threw him out of the pool the chlorine or cool water must have made his elastic type insides, which held his body together, brittle because when he hit the ground he exploded into five separate body parts.

[@shockingbeyondbelief]

Great work! This brings back memories!!!

[@turntapzap]

I cannot believe you have this! Thank you so much. What a fantastic job you did putting this together. 5/5

[@nvmbrsdoom5]

Best....video....ever. Thanks so much for doing this, I have goosebumps. This is the first book and record I ever remember having, and I loved it! The way you animated the mouths and everything is very cool. Big thumbs up on this one!!

[@blueball2009]

to cool! reminds me of the good old days of my childhood

[@hclvchef]

Thanks Jim, this is awesome, I had this one & many others as a kid. thanks man

[@romanvelezhunter]

GREAT JOB JIM. I WISH MORE PEOPLE WOULD DO 'EM LIKE THIS

[@6stringgunner511]

I had a dozen original G. I. Joe 45 RPM Records. They were in pristine condition, no scratches. The books were like new. The records were safety held in the books inner sleeve. I kept them in an old military trunk. My 1st wife sold them while was touring with my band across the U. S. in the mid-80's. Those 45s records are probably worth a couple dollars, now.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

That's too bad. Wife's and mothers are notorious for getting rid of childhood memories men what to keep. I don't think they are worth too much. I found the rest of the collection on e-bay ad they were pretty cheap.

[@6stringgunner511]

@@JiM-SWEET-art Cool, Thank You. I'll have to check it out and possibly replace them. Have a GREAT weekend and be safe out there.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

@@6stringgunner511 No problem. You too. I'll be animating a new record soon with a one scene being a little animated than just the mouths.

[@JiM-SWEET-art]

Thanks. That's really cool. I'm glad she likes it that much and that I was able to bring it to life just a little bit more. Hopefully I'll be making another one sooner then later.

Thanks. I know I used to luv these things when I was a kid. I still like them now, because they remind me of that feeling of course. I plan on doing the cobra one next and I was going to add in a small section of a fully animated scene to go along with the audio from the record.
