Ultimately, this covered the film with 98% non stop voiceovers who make juvenile jokes, explain the obvious, and/or won’t stop talking for a minute, which makes the entire film unbearable.

[@maniacaldude]

I wouldn't say Butch Hartman was entirely responsible for this. The Weinsteins definitely played a big part in this debacle, not helped by their infamous track record with animation, and if there were other writers on board, they would have to share some of the blame. Though if there's any consolation in this, it's that the Weinsteins, especially Harvey, will not be involved with anything film related for a long time, if ever again.

[@josephcopper2966]

Yeah, Weinstein definitely has room to be blamed also. Not only did he kill this film, but he also butchered The Thief and the Cobbler. He almost ruined Princess Mononoke too, but was stopped because the producer, Toshio Suzuki, sent Weinstein a katana and the words “No Cuts.” written on a note.

[@oomsou5018]

I remember this movie existing but I never remembered the name nor did I know there was another version of this movie or the fact this movie apparently had a cartoon it came from. The more ya know.

[@charlenestodden1286]

I was obsessed with this movie as a kid and even had official perfume from it, had no idea the boogeyman himself worked on it though so wild stuff lol.

[@nebuchadnezzar8683]

Betcha didn't know they were gonna make a Space Goofs Movie with this exact animation and even referenced and camoesmost of the characters from this movie!

[@Ronboy-20]

I remember as a kid randomly finding this movie airing on Boomerang (I think) and just watching it having no idea what was happening or why. I don't remember what I thought of it at the time, but that's just a weird little childhood memory of mine.

[@BloxxingBoom]

He keeps butching every thing I love. i hate my life

[@skaithespirit1184]

I'm actually gonna take Ol' Butch's word as the truth(Or at least closer to the truth than what LS Mark thought) when he says that a majority of his script had been re-rewritten. Its not that I think he is blameless here, its just that for once there are people in the picture who are objectively *worse* than he is, and its extremely Weinstein-y to do something like that(IE: Hiring someone to rewrite the script, then hiring someone ELSE to rewrite THAT script, leading to an enormous loss of both money and time.)

[@WobblesandBean]

I'm not at all surprised to find out that animated abortion had Hartman's hands all over it.

[@treyblowski]

A true loss is that I think the same animation studio was going to be making an adaptation of Space Goofs/Stupid invaders, since one of the props in the teaser for the never finished space goofs movie features a box with doogals face randomly on it .

[@jamesesterline]

I will forever associate Doogal with JimmyHere

[@eldarzh6290]

Thanks for making a review of JimmyHere! That's really appreciated

[@Chief_-yb3fx]

[@YouHaveUno]

I looked up “Jimmy Here” and this video came up. I’m not even joking

[@thephony1651]

I can’t believe Butch Hartman himself ruined the cinematic debut of JimmyHere

[@AmayaHinageshi]

When I watched Doogal I always felt like the dialogue that I was hearing wasn’t native to the film. The scene with the skeletons as well as the moose character make it extremely obvious that something is _off._ The moose character gestures as if he should be entirely nonverbal, none of the main cast directly responds to him, and yet the character can’t seem to _shut up._ The same is true with the skeletons who don’t seem as though they would have any spoken lines, and yet they’re going on and _on_ about random nonsense. Seeing the original version I was instantly like “Oh so I was right. These characters weren’t meant to talk.” I have no earthly idea why they added dialogue for these characters either… maybe they just felt that the film was too boring if you weren’t familiar with The Magic Roundabout? Whatever the case, despite not really knowing much about the source material or having many feelings about it, it just feels so _weird_ to dub over a film as if it’s just a background for someone’s standup comedy routine.

[@lollybowser]

When I was a kid I had to undergo a medical procedure and during it, this movie was playing on mute on a small TV on the ceiling. For years I thought I mightve imagined it from the stress😂

[@TheCamdog9]

I did find the UK version online just for curiosity sake and watched it. Mainly because I found out that the villain was voiced by Tom Baker, aka the 4th Doctor of Doctor Who.

[@JoesAnimationHub]

speaking of Doctor Who... I think I've found where some of the unhinged nature of Zeebad came from in Tom's performance... "I am MEGLOS!!! The last Zolfa Thuran..."

[@joshuatewolde1837]

9:25 “Here’s JOHNNY!” “Someone ORDER Ribs?!” “BBBRRRING OUT THE ‘DEAD’!!!” “PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!!” “HEY! - I Thought We Said NO ‘Disney Jokes’.” “WHATTSUP?!?!” “Oh, Look! We Got ‘Bone-Thugs In Harmony’ UP In Here!”

[@monikervector990]

I really hate that I chuckled at that one Skeleton randomly screaming “PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN”

[@TheFloraBonBon]

I always watched the 'Doogal' version as a kid, i never knew the original version until a few years later

[@conormurnane6457]

I grew up on reruns of the original series on Cartoon Network, so by the time the CG movie came out, I (along with my parents, who also grew up on it in the '70s) was the target audience for it. It was the first time I ever recall something inducing my nostalgia. Looking back, it's really nothing special, one of those films where either you're already familiar with these characters or it's all nonsense, but I still have a soft spot for it. Also, the CG film's directors ran their own stop-motion studio and their previous feature was a dark, Lynchian adaptation of Tom Thumb, where Tom is a lab-grown homunculus and his father is a drunkard who gets killed in a street brawl. The whole thing is available online and it's amazing.

[@MisterMistea]

This film had one of the weirdest dubs I've ever seen.

[@bumblebeepicnic6917]

9:27 "Bring out yer dead!" So you're telling me that they dubbed a British cartoon in order to appeal to American audiences, just to throw in a reference to another British property? (Yes, Monty Python is popular here in the US, but still!)

[@JTube44]

JimmyHere didn't deserve this

[@bansho7076]

3:13 Wasn't Charles de Gaulle an old man by the time that hit the black market? When I try googling it, the only references I can find are in the context of this show, which makes this feel like it may just be an urban legend.

[@JonsCartoonShow]

This channel is so underrated, keep up the good work!

[@The_Steele1]

This film is literally my oldest childhood memory, and you just reunlocked it like a core memory, and there is no doubt in my mind that I watched the American version, and that this movie is quite literally ancient memory inside my brain, that when my neurons first ever fired to create memory, it was the American version of this film.

[@captaincancer1736]

Another pin in the never ending meme that is LS Mark's bitter hatred towards Butch Hartman.

[@JillCheese]

Never knew it was from Europe originally. However, I'll never forget when I was younger, my summer camp used to go to this hood movie theater by my house. TWICE they advertised we were supposed to see a certain movie, yet BOTH TIMES they played this monstrosity. A couple of year afterwards, the movie theater got shot up, and I can't help but think that someone else was forced to watch... _Doogle_ ...and they finally snapped

[@duo_eclipse4alt127]

Yo jimmyhere is in the thumbnail let’s goooo

[@dprototype6431]

I do find it mildly amusing how Kevin “Silent Bob” Smith voiced a character who was mute in the original.

[@ivifernando4488]

When I was a kid, I saw a movie of a dog in ugly CGI and I never remembered scenes from the movie to research. And you arrive with this movie for me to remember. OMG!!

[@erodasi2205]

i can't believe he would do this to the beloved youtuber jimmyhere

[@thatgreenguy6994]

I can't believe JimmyHere is in a children's movie! By Butch Martman? Oh my gosh! Everyone, make sure JimmyHere knows that he is in a children's movie by Butch Hartman!

[@grimflarez753]

Honestly, I loved this movie as a kid, and still do even to this day. It's horrible, but absolutely hilarious. Especially on the first watch. At least to me.

[@extrahistory8956]

To answer your question at 1:18... yes. An example is Thomas the Tank Engine began as a British show, bit was imported to America as Shinning Time Station, which was then adapted into the mediocre and controversial Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

[@AizakkuAnalysis]

I've never watched The Magic Roundabout. BUT I remember getting toys for the movie inside of cereal boxes. I really liked the rabbit, but always got that blue guy. 😭

[@exotic_butters2897]

I always remembered the rabbit as a depressed and stoned version of Goofy.
