[@davldbradley6073]

Why have I not seen this one before. Love it the rubber hose action, ducks with olive branch Crowns 👑 😋 So Cool 😎

[@rafaelramirez9109]

got to be honest people they don't make cartoon gems like this anymore,it's enjoyable fun at it's best 👍👍🤗

[@codboss7092]

greeks with italian accent !?? this is some hardcore sorcery right here

[@ET-Wonder1]

That’s what I said. Mostly the Greek with Italian accent part lol

[@psychedelicpython]

I was thinking the same thing with the Italian accent. I noticed in a couple of other Van Beuren cartoons he has a thing for idol worship and “gods”.

😂

[@Frunksn0tdeaD]

The guy with a moustache looks like freddie mercury 😆

[@sugamoppie]

And his name is mercury lmao

[@andersamager9444]

@@sugamoppie But Freddie was born in 1946

[@lisathuban8969]

A funny coincidence. I agree, he really does look like Queen's famous singer. Mercury is, among other things, the God of communication. Freddy took that name because of its implications, he wasn't born with it.

[@BlackHatTy]

LOL thats some trippy stuff..Mercury, is..Mercury!

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

I was going to say that in the comment section!! But I see you beat me to it.

[@jamesaustin1988]

I especially love the ducks, with their olive branches.

[@omax6001]

Eu via isso num DVD do Moisés do meu amigo. Esse era o meu preferido dos desenhos. Eu achava o final meio assustador, por ver o pobre centauro ser estrangulado.

[@WalkerBaby]

E eu em um de Ruth tinha esse o de uma vaquinha e uns gnominhos da primavera

[@orion6771]

Eu assistia muito esse quando eu era pequeno Minha avó viajou para fora e trouxe o DVD

[@orion6771]

​@@WalkerBabyeu sei o nome se quiser

[@cassianeviana]

Eu tinha esse dvd tbm presente da minha avó kkkk​@@WalkerBaby

[@PLuMUK54]

It's a Greek Life? The centaur has an Italian accent and Mercury is a Roman god! Lol...

[@XXXTentaclez]

anyone else get mad when the asshole started to beat em and the ducks just watched?

[@amstrad79b]

LOL Mercury is Hermes or in greek Ερμής. One of the twelve Gods of Olympus. It seems you are a bit wrong my friend.

[@stainlesssteelfox1]

@@amstrad79b Yes, and if he'd been called Hermes, it would have been fine. But in this cartoon, he was called Mercury, the Roman name. They may be effectively the same deity, but if this is supposed to be 'A Greek Life' then the centaur should have been calling him Hermes. How is this hard to understand?

[@stainlesssteelfox1]

@tsolias27 Yes, I understand this. I'm talking purely about the name. This cartoon is supposed to be set in ancient Greece. Therefore, they would use the name Hermes. The Roman god Mercury is the same god, but this cartoon is not set in Rome. If it was, Mercury would be the correct name. Why is this hard to understand? Maybe English isn't your first language, in which case you may not have understood my original point. Hopefully this explanation clears that up.

[@stainlesssteelfox1]

@dan goth Are you hard of thinking? If the Romans accepted the Greek gods, then your sentence should end, 'Hermes is a Roman God.' Not the other way round. Which is irrelevant, as this is set in Greece, so it should use the Greek name, not the Roman one. End of story.

[@Steve20127]

That must be one of the weirdest cartoons I have ever seen.

[@marciiosantos9029]

Manoooo, não acredito que te achei seu vídeo lindooooo, fez parte da minha infância, muito obrigado à quem postou. Que saudades.

I think he would look like Marty the zebra, of course Marty zebra sure would love to see him in person sometime.

[@blancamondragon6834]

Buenos compañeros los patos solidarios con el centauro 😍😍🤗

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

Can't you see he's Mr. Mercury. How strange.

[@BrandonKohout]

Why, hello, Mr. Mercury. What can I do for you?

[@marcusulrich6212]

Half horse half human imagine seeing that in real life 😂

[@acelynfury9992]

i remember this ever since when i was a little girl

[@DavidFrat123]

Is this cartoon copyright protected?

[@ZiggyCashmere]

I think so, it's hard to tell with these. But my guess would be yes, at least age wise. It's not old enough to enter the public domain, so it would have to be a company action to put it there.

[@geoffreyrichards6079]

I highly doubt it. Van Beuren Studios went out of business back in the '30s and its library has never been claimed by another distributor. Everything the studio created should be free to use.

[@nathanielhickmanii551]

did I just see a naked man riding on a horse

[@PDCARTOONCHANNEL]

Check out Pin Cushion Man now those artists and writers had to be dosing big time

[@donnythedingo]

Well how you like that!

[@dennetofferman371]

It's SO much more amusing if you see it as a Shetland pony wearing a talking man for a head! WHAHAH

[@joekurdish3385]

Centaurs, flying shoes and weird places remind me of a particular religion..... I am not saying that particular religion talks about centaurs and flying shoes it's just the general bull shit that it tries to sell.

[@joselucca2728]

If this is a "Greek life" why is everybody talking with a fake Italian accent?

[@staspastukh2005]

Because these guys who voiced everyone in this cartoon, knew that Italy was a maritime neighbour of Greece, and probably refused to do a Spanish-like accent, due to not knowing that Greek sounds like Spanish.

[@SOULRELIEF22]

St John 3:16!❤️

[@infernalsoror5079]

In the Greek pantheon Tahuti is Hermes not Mercury....and an Italian accent? Please send funding to educate our poor dumb animators lol
