New Adventures of Beany & Cecil - DJ's Disappearing Act Pt 1

[@teddybeer6206]

The 80s weren't ready for John K's madness. This kind of insanity belongs in the 90s.

[@MegaMario5671]

Written by the same guy who would go on to co-create the Big Bang Theory.

[@SantaDog81]

Drawn by the same guy who would do Ren & Stimpy.

And Mom, and Mike & Molly and my PERSONAL FAVORITE Two and A Half Men!!!!

[@SignoreBoy]

Great to see more of these again! This part had some wild takes and expressions, 'specially before and after Cecil hits the bridge!

[@arqivist2077]

I love that the Pinocchio design here is pretty much ripped right out of Rankin-Bass' "New Adventures Of Pinocchio", just adding a hat and gloves to make it legally distinct. He translates well to this style, and it makes me wonder what other stop motion characters might have looked like in a show like this.

[@BellerinaStargirl]

The little Pinocchio guy sounds like Roger Klotz from Doug.

[@ShaneBales]

Sarah Ackerman That's because it's Billy West. Voice of Roger, Doug, Ren, Stumpy, Fry, and Professor Farnsworth.

I remember this episode! I saw this on Saturday Morning when I was six and loved it. No one knew about the show when I told them about it, for awhile I thought I imagined it. I guess it didn't last long.

Now this is a PROPER tribute by DIC

ok that has to be maurice la march .. thems two togeter with all the others this it a great treasure a rare gem for mankinds media history to preserve with the awesomeness that is the internet!

[@deadlyshoesalesman]

Not bad. The animation is lively, the gags are funny. Most of the voice work is good, but I think they made a mistake casting Beany with a real kid. The original voices (Daws Butler in the puppet show; Jim MacGeorge in the cartoon) were much funnier.

[@deanky]

i haven't seen any of the original show but MAURICE AS DJ SOUNDS LIKE SQUIDWARD

[@Marbles471]

Wow. This lively animation (by TV standards, I mean) is what the original Beany and Cecil WOULD have looked like if Bob Clampett had been given the budgets for it.

[@gabe_s_videos]

I looked this up after reading about it in "Sick Little Monkeys," the book about the history of Ren and Stimpy. The way the book described it, I would have assumed this show looked unfinished and incomprehensible at best, but it really doesn't look any better or worse than any other cartoon from around that era.

[@yosefdemby8792]

I hear Bob Clampett is just as conceited (but not as controversial) as John Kricfalusi. Maybe he wasn't a pedophile. But he was pompous, and arguably Machiavellian. Heck, I first heard of him from this! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bugs_Bunny/Road_Runner_Movie And according to a KZbin comment, which I can't find at the time), Clampett called Mel Blanc a hack.

[@Tornado1994]

@@yosefdemby8792 Kricfalusi isn't a pedophile and shouldn't be considered as one. Yes he preyed on a couple of teen girls, but he didn't start having sexual contact with them until they were both 18-19.

[@berniekatzroy]

The recent animate short pinokidoki brought me here.

[@christopherhoward8128]

So good! Should have lasted more than a few episodes! Bob Clampit and John K. Awesome!!

[@jmen4ever257]

IF 100 or so of these new episodes had been done, even with the off kilter beany voice, the show would have been a great success. Just aired a few times then buried. A real shame.

[@phantomzone2725]

It was because John just wanted to shock and violate the ABC standards (a trademark, I guess?) so they abruptly cut the show because they thought it wasn't appropriate to air on TV

[@marlawhite1430]

It just don't have the charm of the original show.

[@loriloristuff]

DJ and everybody else have good voices, but whoever is doing Beany is way off. Beany sounds more like Rocky.

[@ZakWolf]

For this, Beany was voiced by an actual boy. In the old puppet show and animated series, Beany was voiced by a grown man (first Daws Butler, then Jim MacGeorge.) For Uncle Captain, Jim MacGeorge reprises his role from the later "Time for Beany" episodes and the "Beany & Cecil" animated series. Maurice LaMarche does an excellent Dishonest John, and Billy West made for a really good Cecil.

Who is here because of Pinokidoki?
