Rarg

[@patrickgamble9014]

A wonderful story with great unique animation

[@szpetnyjan]

Found after 28 years searching. I thought about this cartoon surprisingly often ever since I saw it at 10 years old.

[@mattbutlermusic9613]

Can’t believe it. This popped into my head for the first time in maybe thirty years ago, I probably saw it when I was six on PBS. A wildcard google search to reddit to here. Praise be to the internet and all of you here in the comments section for remembering or I might have thought I dreamed it myself.

[@TheEnviousdominous]

I FINALLY FOUND THIS! I saw it once when I was eight, and have tried searching for it for the last ten years based on vague memories of the plot.

[@sofiasoto4700]

the same happened to me, and after almost 20 years, a few years ago a friend found it for me... i cried!

[@percsara]

Just now after 30 years for me! Couldn't be happier!!!

[@velvetdoug]

me too - after goodness knows how many years!

[@Nemesis_T_Type]

Good for you. At last you'll be at peace. I'm still looking for an old cartoon or probably an anime that I saw as a kid but I can't seem to find it anywhere and it is like an itch that won't go away in my head.

[@NielsenWill]

Same, but I'm also tying to find one that I saw with this one about a guy trying to escape a small city surrounded by a giant wall, but there is some giant guy who is the leader that ends up getting mad at him and throws him out. *Found it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6Onnp2Omslpd5I

[@HansvandeBruggen]

Like others here, I've also been searching for this ever since I saw it on PBS as a kid. I only saw about half of it before we had to leave the house and I've been left wondering about it for 27 years now. Thanks for sharing!

[@Raygo.]

You're welcome! I'm glad that I've given the chance for others to enjoy this.

[@neddfechan]

I, too have been looking for this for YEARS. I even remembered it was called Rarg but have never found it on the internet until now. Thank you!

[@MCshowuhz]

THIS FILM! I saw it on "Long Ago and Far Away" back in the 90s. Recent events unlocked the memory(RIP James Earl Jones). Thanks for sharing this.

[@maximiliano3772]

I've been searching for this for the last 8 years..i was starting to think i must've ve imagined it or something...i cant explain how thankfull and happy i am right now! Thanks a lot for this ! Greetings from Argentina!

[@devinecaesar]

For years I searched for this all I could remember was the fluffy pink men and the portal to reality, and the discovery signs which I remembered as Eureka moments and inventing / not inventing. After years searching for this I can't even begin to explain how happy I am, thank you for uploading this, thank you so much!!!!!!

[@BagOfMagicFood]

I didn't expect to find this again either. My memories of catching the ending got foggy enough that I remembered it as an army of little people marching into the real world as their leader angrily shouted, "We want to be real!", but existing in reality soon turned them into harmless cherubs for some reason. I guess I must have conflated the flamingos with the cherubic children.

[@devinecaesar]

That's the trouble with Google et al, if you don't know what you're looking for you can't find it, which sort of defeats the point! I searched for the fluffy pink men for ages as they were the most vivid memory.

[@BagOfMagicFood]

I may have also thought the soundproof suits were the strange creatures they got transformed into! I really didn't know what to think about what I saw, but after seeing info on other old cartoon series with "Dream" in their titles that weren't this, I decided to just try typing in "cartoons about dream worlds" as a search last night, and then I found Rarg pretty fast.

[@CaesarBest]

Same here, I've had fleeting memories of this cartoon for years, today finally had a moment of clarity and the right search terms and found it! Will share with everyone I know now :)))

[@AlejandroGutierrez-dq2hv]

@@BagOfMagicFood I remember the army too, and also I remember that was a boy who was dreaming instead of the grown up man. I think our memory could be betraying us but I still feeling that there is another version of this.

[@audiblebeauty]

I first saw this on Long Ago and Far Away on PBS. I still have the tape somewhere! Thank you for allowing me to watch again and share with others.

[@Raygo.]

+audiblebeauty You're welcome, this little classic is one of my all time most loved animations, it's actually kinda transcendent I feel.

[@blackietotheend]

+TheRaygo ....

[@paulcalhoun436]

I have a VHS recording of Rarg from Long Ago, too! Along with a couple other episodes. It's the story that motivated me to find all the other Long Ago episodes I could find online.

[@nuclearlee]

This must be where I watched it. I've been trying to find the name for forever. I think about it all of the time but couldn't come up with the right search terms to find it. Just thought of something a few minutes ago that led me to a reddit post.

[@wilmartinez8263]

Holy S#%/$ !!! I haven't seen this since it first aired, began to think I must have imagined it, thank you for posting this. Now I have the title to look for it and share with my family.

[@universalronin7212]

I remember watching this as a young child. Left me terrified that my dreams would come out and take me away one night, and that I'd never be able to wake up.

[@markmondeomanpearson2871]

As many others have said I have been searching for this for quite some time. I watched Rarg over and over as a child. Thanks so much for putting this on KZbin 😁 Flamingos!!

[@helenaw302]

This has made my day , I grew up watching this , I didn't realise there was a whole tv series

[@steveRoll595]

I actually thought the ending would make a point out of "the sun didn't rise until it was sure that everyone was awake". Like they brought the sleeping guy into their world, but the sun wouldn't rise anymore because he was still asleep.

[@danielphilo]

I just love the voices here. You even have Alfred from the 90's Batman voicing the Prof. Peridot character. And the soundtrack, superb. I just love this story, it's on my top 5 animation movies ever.

[@freddykugr]

Yes it is Alfred's voice - wow, tysm , and now the bright minds are saying we most likely are living in a simulation , , , even Elon Musk and Alex Jones is saying this

[@ef-fj8th]

I just searched "animated short where everyone turns into flamingos". Google is God

[@valenzine9423]

i thought I dreamed this movie

[@danastutzman34]

PBS should release a DVD set of the series Long Ago & Far Away hosted by James Earl Jones. It had some beautiful animations in it. Also watch The Man Who Planted Trees and The Pied Piper of Hamelin. The Hungarian folk tales were also good ones. Another good series was The International Film Festival hosted by Jean Marsh.

[@seagecko]

Perfection. Was then, when it was new, and now. Timeless. Thank You!!

[@Raygo.]

You're right! And you're welcome!

[@MJN_SEIFER]

Saw this as a kid from around 14:31, but the only thing I remembered was that a sleeping man (and his bed) was taken away, and "Flamingos! Flamingos!"

[@sam-jn6nl]

lol I'm happy i found this.

[@maryramirez9544]

despues de muchisimos años la vuelvo a ver!!!! :D

[@woofwoof846]

This just mean.. cherish your most beloved, or You will lose a world around yourself

[@DigiMikeAU]

Simply ... bonzer !

[@Flobot0]

FLICK THE SWITCH! - this has been plaguing me for decades, I could never find it.

[@busgirly]

Rarg (1988) producers: Tony Collingwood Productions Ltd /British Screen Finance / NFTS The international succcess of "Rarg" enabled Tony Collingwood to start his own fully-fledged production outfit with producer Chris O'Hare. Their first production was supposed to be a sequel, but the funding routes lead them to turn it into an animated series called "Dream Patrol". One quick name-change later and Captain Zed and the Zee Zone was born. www.toonhound.com/rarg.htm

[@Raygo.]

+busgirly Thanks for that busgirly, I'm afraid I never saw Captain Zed. Should I?

[@busgirly]

up to you

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Reminded "NFTS" stands for "National Film & Television School" which I suppose Collingwood was a student at when he started producing Rarg. Another alumnus from NFTS is Nick Park, who started the first of his Wallace & Gromit shorts there before working for Aardman.

[@beetee801]

This shit is deep.

[@repmidwest]

So that guy just gets to spend the rest of his life asleep? Will he age and die? Is he doomed to an eternity of unconsciousness?

[@Raygo.]

I guess the viewer may decide... but for me I think that he is dreaming everything that happens, including his "journey into dream". And I think that fundamentally it's a fable, that might cause us to question the nature of our own 'reality'.

[@ShrekWallBee]

i have a better question what if he has to go to the bathroom he would have to wake up then woulden he and would he 1 find himself back in he bedroom 2 he discovers that hes alarm clock is on the floor and its already gone off

[@LightLife4]

Dreaming is just a mental thing. It would've been interesting if they'd had a sequence where his dreams became nightmares. Other than that the liklihood is that everyone in Raga would've ceased to be when Edwyn died. Even a dream can't halt the inevitable

Would you please enable automatic subtitles?

[@shofyid]

It's there any way to put subtitles on this ?

[@Nemesis_T_Type]

Rarg is a figment of imagination of Edwin. Edwin is a figment of imagination of the writer. The writer(real human) is a figment of imagination of God. God is a figment of imagination of Azathoth. Azathoth is the figment of imagination of a sleeping Rargian.

[@goodguy...badrep.]

You had me until Azathoth.
