Little Monsters (1989) "Monster Ball"

[@Ainennke]

As a kid, I was so disappointed that this scene was so short. As an adult, my feelings haven't changed.

[@TheZohan907]

Well said :)

[@andrewtm85]

I always thought it was a lot longer when I was a kid

[@alizarraga86]

Come under the bed we could use a guy with a glove

[@matthewhudson6837]

Couldn’t have said this any better!

[@GlitchyHalo]

Wish they expanded the monster world more instead of adding last minute unnecessary conflict (chewing up the report was fine I’m talking about the stupid baby scene) that scene literally threw away Maurice trying to comfort Brian as Maurice acted like an asshole again. You don’t always need something to fix a situation it’s okay to just be sad They could’ve included more kid things in the monster world as even if it’s supposed to be dimly lit it felt more like a nightclub than every kids fantasy and the only kid things shown down there were video games, junk food, and baseball

[@TheZohan907]

This is my absolute favorite movie of all time, literally every moment is perfect especially monster ball and the final fight and the credits scene with The Talking Heads, cant get over how amazing everything about this movie is and how under-appreciated it is

[@James-fd2gg]

Oh my God same here like this just brings me back to childhood memories. Like the feeling I get with this movie is unlike any other feeling then it's beautiful I fucking love it. And the song I want to go I want to holla. And the other song where Brian's armed First turns to close and he's walking around looking depressed in that dress shirt or whatever. That song and I want to yell I cannot find them anywhere. They never actually made a recording these of those songs I think they just made it for the movie

[@azramey1164]

Watched this movie religiously as a toddler, kids movies today are so polished and soft things were just better for us back then

[@Snowman20]

That pitcher with the dog like ears was my favorite monster when I was a kid.

[@takashirose5668]

Snowman20 I feel the same way. And this version of the song (I love the sound of) Breaking Glass is different, which I like. It has a new wave feel to it. I wished they released the soundtrack.

[@Benjamin_C.1985]

takashirose to think that these were all kids who chose to live this life style in the 80s just amazes me and each child got modifications to there body to make them look cool and scary

[@RightEyeRaptor]

Very, very late, but she is called Dog-Ear(s?), and originally had more of a role alongside Pumpkinhead in one of the earlier scripts for the film. Also in the script, she was originally male.

[@jimmysullivan4981]

Is dog ears a male or female monster ?

[@leslieyeich1837]

Punkinhead

[@kaelyn077]

"We get the shit, we smash the shit,then we put the shit back!" MY FAVORITE PART!!

[@LawrenceDw]

I love the sound of breaking glass ⚾️

[@princessmarlena1359]

It’s cool how well they remember from where they got the stuff that they broke, so as to put it back afterward. This was an awesome scene, I’ve always wanted to play “Monster Ball”.

[@tsilva2183]

Don't watch on netflix or hulu. They edited the movie and changed some words and phrases for kids. I noticed bc It's a favorite. Buy it on dvd.

[@sethfallon6860]

Damn. 30 years later and this is still 1 of my favorite movie scenes of all time. That pumpkin head still my fav too lol Side note: I wish I could find this version of breaking glass somewhere

[@WD-um1ch]

It’s on Apple Music and other platforms, Nick Lowe - I love the sound of breaking glass

[@GlitchyHalo]

The dog monster looked way too cool to be a background character

[@TNHFPRODUCTIONS987]

0:57 The Pumpkin Man is a Supreme Master of Baseball

[@derekmorris6992]

So Ben Savage (Eric) plays both a monster and a normal kid?? NICE!

[@GlitchyHalo]

Also the warehouse where the monster world scenes were filmed was the same one that was used for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Another fun fact is that almost the whole warehouse was made with cement so it was pretty indestructible

[@kdspfisoaho]

This is my favorite movie when I was a kid this was my chilhood I wish they made a 2nd Little monsters

[@GlitchyHalo]

Me too as even if Maurice didn’t say goodbye forever (“When there’s a bed, there’s a way”) it still felt like it After the movie not too much merchandise was released but they did make a 6 issue comic series of an unofficial sequel where Boy and Snik survive. The art style was weird and sadly we didn’t get a Maurice backstory but we got Sniks. He was actually an adult when he got turned into a monster so basically anyone csn become one not just kids. It’s mostly kids as adults don’t believe in monsters so they won’t get easily lured by them. I believe Maurice was 19 when he got turned and he had that punk rebel life with family issues as he says “At least you have a family” him saying 11 was probably a joke as he acts older. Yeah Brian’s friends swear but none of them act like Maurice. Another thing that happened after Little Monsters was a sweepstakes. It came with this whole rap song and you got cool prizes if you dial 1-900-86-MAURICE. Some of the prizes were small like copies of the movie. Little standees and cutouts, and an autograph of Fred Savage. The big prizes were a trip to Hawaii and the pinball machine that Brian and Maurice played on in the one scene

[@kareneastman9695]

I love the song as much as the scene.🙂😀😲

[@BlueCollar850]

Favorite scene in the whole movie

[@TNHFPRODUCTIONS987]

0:35 Lol Ben Savage dressed up like Maurice incredible

[@aprilmorgan18]

I love that one monster looks likes a much younger Maurice and when Maurice pretends to miss the ball and let it hit the vase. 💙

[@sir.richardarmstrong3rd759]

I never realize that when I watch it as a kid... I wonder how many kids Maurice brought into the underworld.

[@Michael_Beanflip]

@@sir.richardarmstrong3rd759 I think that was Ben Savage

[@TimFrith24]

Although the character of Brian was 11 years old, actor Fred Savage was actually 12 years old, a year older than the role he portrayed in “Little Monsters”.

[@matthewhudson6837]

Man how I wish as a kid that there was a world under my bed I could sneak off too and play monster ball! I’m 33 and I feel the exact same way!!

[@pedrobakale7180]

0:57 The monster prepares to bat like a professional player Lmao

[@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462]

My kind of crowd, lol.

[@raulduke1528]

Looks more like John Leguizamo then Howie Mandel playing Maurice. Lol......omg I just realized that the scene from the movie Spawn, where John Leguizamo plays the clown demon "Violater".... when spawn cuts his head off, he does practically the same melting/dying act as Howie does in the movie when Maurice almost dies from being exposed to the sun. Coincidence? Maybe not, maybe John was inspired by it!

[@paulestradaiii9565]

I put this like 2015 or 16 I don't know why this movie always stayed in my head it has nothing to do with anything but for some reason it is always been in my head

[@HobbyAddicts]

Ben savage is a monster he's batting at :35

BLP Kosher as the pitcher.

[@patrix4th]

How did they get away rating this as PG? Don't get me wrong, this is a good movie. But they swore a lot for that kind of rating (not to mention a middle finger). To think, I watched this as a kid without my parents noticing that.

[@storyallegory]

Because the rating system in the US was lax/normal in the 80s, that was an end of an era. There were several "shits" in E.T., like the best kid movie of all time. Things got weird and puritanical in the tween range of entertainment in the 90s. Which is odd because media and advertising were hypersexualized everywhere else, but god forbid you say "shit"!

[@thebossrayden]

When i was a kid shit was less sensitive

[@FailedCommentator]

Nobody was a fucking pussy ass bitch like nowadays

[@wendiesel2606]

Besides the curse words all the subtexual pedo stuff flew under the parents radar as well lol! In ET little Barrymore says penisbreath! to one of her brothers. Maurice refers to girls as cheese in this movie as well as talking about playboy, the purpose of the world is to scare the hell out of children for sport... watch the movie and listen closely to the dialogue and the innuendo... this movie was made with a very strange intent...and you cant tell me Maurice's "skull" on his jacket isnt a bent over ass!!

[@jamonherman9364]

@@wendiesel2606 What about the, "need em, need em, got em need em." And Maurice grabs his junk?? I didn't even realize he did that as a kid. Wasn't until watching it again as an adult, lol.

this movie is a better version of bettlejuice

[@trippcory]

This film had the same basic setup as monsters inc and similar characters...but it had no idea how to execute it, resulting in a critically scratched flop of less than 800,000 bucks! Pixar took the premise and with their smarts made a critically hailed success of more than 500 million bucks

[@harrypottersdaddy]

Pixar had a fan base with Toy Story and A Bug's Life. Little Monsters has Howie Mandel dressed up as a blue horned monster. It's a terrible movie and I love it. I've seen Little Monsters a dozen times and Monsters Inc twice. Great movies but just different times and audiences.

[@Twitchrd]

This movie doesn't need to be a blockbuster anyone who would understand this movie saw it! I cry everytime!!

[@heytheremclovin]

This film is a classic, just like killer clowns from outer space, they will never make masterpieces like these ever again, since CGI took over the industry, only the people from that era will ever truly appreciate and realize that, I love the 80's😘
