As utterly bizarre as this is, I feel like the animators were, if not proud to work on it, they were at least having fun with it.

[@voidwalkerbruh7426]

With the reference in it and the messing around with the foxy at the start almost definitely

[@thesabzin]

Also, I *immediately* knew this was post-Soviet, not even by the "post-collapse" animation style seen in early 2000's (tied to the downfall of Soviet animation; CDI Zelda and Mario were created by such castaway animators, and it is comparable), but by one specific gag. You see, when Bear imagines his future in prison as a "flamboyant gay" trope, he becomes a rooster. Or a "petukh" in Russian. "Petukh" in prison slang means exactly that - a man participating in soap-dropping-without-any-soap throughout his entire sentence. EDIT: the producer, as shown in the credits, is googlable. It is Yuri Volodarskii (spelling may differ), born in Odessa, Ukrainian SSR. From 1984 to 1996 he produced the comic group "Maski" (The Masks), which were EXTREMELY popular in both Russia and Ukraine. The fact that he is from Odessa explains so many nods to Jewish stuff - as Odessa has a prominent and vibrant Jewish community immortalized in post-Soviet folklore and anecdotes.

That burger cows scene scarred me so much that I'm sure it's left an actual physical imprint on my brain. Thank you Saber for bringing my favourite childhood nighmares back from the deepest darkes recesses of post-Soviet furry hell.

I am... amazed. This has some truly galaxy-brain references to American sport and culture, despite coming from the post-Soviet east. Space Balls, Michael Jackson, McDonalds, American Football player puns, Terminator 2. Only ten years after the fall of the Iron Curtain. I could have sworn this was made in the USA. No joke, I actually admire the lengths the writing team went to in order to make this.

@@nickrustyson8124 contrary to popular belief, american movies were not uncommon in the soviet union pre-iron curtain fall. they were not sanctioned, but bootleg copies of musical albums, movies, casette tapes, etc were highly popular and widely distributed among the underground circles and rebellious youths. soviet Iron curtain was not the same as n. korean iron curtain, but you could get in trouble for owning and/or distributing unsanctioned material.

That scene with the bear in tactical gear and the 4 shot rocket launcher is a Commando reference. The animation style and colors remind me of kids games from the 90s. I'm also seeing a lot of influence or references to the soccer scene in the Bedknobs and Broomsticks movie.

[@geardog24]

[@seesarahsaw1593]

29:35 Those three guys in the beer commercial are the Three Tenors: Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and José Carreras. Very famous opera singers who formed a trio in the 90s and I believe opened a World Cup. Since then, Pavarotti has passed, Domingo was outed as a s*x pest, and Carreras is...still existing, I guess. lol

"That has to be Russian." Confidently incorrect. The best kind of incorrect.

[@barrycreation6476]

I feel like this movie might’ve been trying to have one of those stories where everything barely connects, only to have are minds blown once we find out who/what was behind all the unexplained stuff. However, the events in this movie are too random to be able to contain every explanation within an after credits runtime.

[@eitrtine3448]

I'm literally cackling over the timing at the end of this Saber: "Where the fuck is she?" Notification: "We come from the mayors"

[@queas]

I’m still pretty sure Marv Newland did it first. It’s Bambi meets Godzilla. Everything else is a reference including the Godzilla ad. Marv’s film released in April 1969 and Python didn’t drop until October. Gilliam may have even seen Bambi meets Godzilla at an animation festival and still would have had plenty of time to animate his version. It’s not as obscure a reference as you might think. Marv has taught a LOT of animators, including myself, so there’s even a chance he taught someone who worked on this.

I believe the commercial at 30:00 is a reference to the 3 Tenors (Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras). They're singing an opera and there's even a "big lady" carrying the beer. I believe they were featured occasionally or at least referenced a lot in commercials in the 90s. They bear a resemblance to them (especially Pavarotti) and it would explain why they're randomly humans.

[@mafeuk]

Glad you finally watched this one, I recommended it a while back but I'm not sure if you took my comment into consideration...anyways, I remember watching this movie as a kid in the mid-2000s in one of those cable channels that only showed movies, it was shown dubbed in spanish (I'm from Mexico) and I vividly remember the voice of the bulldog narrator, sadly that dub is lost media because nobody remembered this movie but at least now more people are aware of it so we never know. Aside from the references you guys pointed out, this movie has inspirations from the 1980s Disney special Sport Goofy's Soccermania and the french animated series Zoo cup, modestly popular in my country. As for the movie itself I remember it looking "better", I won't say the animation is bad because you can clearly see that there was some effort put considering that the budget probably was pretty low, I mean it looks like one of those early 2000s internet animations. I loved the moments when they made visual gags or jokes that reminded me of classic Looney Tunes or the Tex Avery directed MGM cartoons, I really like the spirit of this movie and is kinda sad that many of your followers don't appreciate the zaniness of this cartoon and just point to the furry stuff or that some things are "inappropiate" (no shit, this wasn't made in the US the land of prudes, at least in the animation realm) and even you pointed out those faults even tho in your Panty & Stockings video you spoke against the modern animation audience tendency to outrage over stupid cartoons. Anyways, there's a lot to be said about this movie and at the very least I'm glad you brought it some attention as that was I intended back when I suggest you watch it like three years or so ago.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen! The point of the fox lady is that she is a news reporter who makes the news happen, at least, that's how I see it. I'm pretty sure the coach of the Slashers was based off of Bill Belichick, who would've just become the coach of the New England Patriots the year this film came out, and I think the dog commentator was based off of John Madden, especially since he yells "THIS IS FOOTBALL!" at the end of the game. I'm pretty sure that was a thing that he did since Family Guy made fun of that in the pilot episode.
