The Oogieloves in the Big Hollywood DISASTER! | thedrxhenryshow

[@CaffeiToonEntertainment]

Another one of Drxhenry’s best reviews. It’s all actually true that preschool media is treating kids like idiots and several of these shows don’t even teach anything. Shows like Sesame Street have done a far better job educating children without making them feel too dumb to understand anything and even make it entertaining and have morals, which is why its theatrical movies Follow That Bird and even The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland weren’t panned by critics and audiences. I’m so happy “GGG” never was approved to become an age rating by the MPAA because Oogielovers proved every reason why we don’t see preschool shows getting movies. Like everything that was described in this video perfectly summarizes why we rarely see “preschool cinema” before and especially after this movie released. I bet the celebrity guest stars like Christopher Lloyd, you know the guy who was in Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and even the Nickelodeon cult classic Hey Arnold: The Movie was embarrassed when appearing in this film, I certainly would be if this is where my aspiration for a career ended up. I also didn’t even know this was originally supposed to be the Teletubbies movie and I can totally see why that was never approved because even I found that show a bit unsettling as a child. This movie somehow managed to do worse critically and financially than Barney’s Great Adventure which I think is impressive because the Barney movie questioned me for a while with how that was even approved in theaters even with the show being on for over a decade on television. Hell this even makes the awful 1980’s Care Bears trilogy look like a phenomenon compared to this which says a lot because while not exactly preschool-based, those movies felt like extended Saturday morning cartoons on the big screen than actual movies. Oogielovers is basically doing the opposite of teaching kids how to grow, and discipline can still be done in positive ways while making sure children actually understand it and learn from it. Like children are going to experience other emotions like sad angry or scared which the Elmo movie actually managed to incorporate pretty well. You’d think the movie would be about Elmo being happy and shouty throughout the movie when looking for his blanket but no he actually shows human emotions and other childlike behaviors and Grouchland isn’t sunshine and rainbows, Elmo didn’t even travel there on purpose he got sucked into a portal and just wanted to find his blanket and get home to Sesame Street. It’s understandable that we don’t want to make kids feel depressed about life and I’m not the kind of person who believes kids deserve to be raised in a negative household or even deal with corporal punishment from parents, caregivers, or principals. They deserve to be nurtured and raised with love and care and lots of positivity, but we can’t pretend the world doesn’t have any problems to them. Thankfully, Oogielovers wasn’t a growing influence to the children’s side of the industry or we would’ve had over a hundreds if not thousands of GGG rated movies now.

17:11 I find Kenn's speak here very ironic. He talks about not wanting a bad guy or innuendos in this film. But firstly, good kids' media can function without a bad guy, say Winnie the Pooh. But with Winnie, those stories work because the world and pacing are designed to immerse and relax kids instead of hyping them up, and the conflicts were grounded in decently characterised characters (something Kenn clearly thought would be too "grown-up" for the 6 year olds who love Winnie). And secondly, he clearly made the innuendos with the hoover and the window, including words like "feisty". So he's a damn hypocrite.

I still don’t know why they thought it was a good idea for a character from a supposedly educational preschool movie to drop his pants every five minutes as a recurring joke.

[@DigimontamerB]

Do you know what this movie is? It's literally just an extended episode of some "Bug Juice" show (a fantastic term for the whole idea, by the way) that gets made for like, the direct to DVD markets that someone thought was a good idea to put into theatres.

[@tivvy2vs21]

My 5th grade teacher told the class that a Teletubbies movie was the biggest box office bomb, that's how I knew this. Also, bug juice sounds kinda like chubby, the little 60 sodas we have in canada, that are also sickeningly sugary

[@MisterHatsofMemphis]

Theres no way they named the vacuum J. Edgar, like the president Hoover 💀

[@drxhenry]

It’s making a pun on J. Edgar Hoover and William H. Hoover simultaneously

[@GreatMewtwo]

FBI. Open up. J. Edgar Hoover is partially why we have this meme.

[@percival086]

Goddamn, I remember when Cinema Snob had an episode on this film almost 10 years ago! Still one of the funniest things I've ever had the pleasure of watching on KZbin to this day. Fascinating to hear your take on it; I especially agree on the whole point that most children are more perceptive and astute than people give them credit for, and they deserve media and entertainment that challenges their minds as well as keep them entertained, like how a lot of 80's and 90's cartoons were. This film was clearly for those who don't respect their kids at all. I do also like the dive on exactly how much this film borrowed and altered from My Bedbugs; made all the more interesting when one remembers that the original intended idea was a Teletubbies film. The comparison between the portrayals of the J. Edgar character was the most noteworthy, to say the least.

[@Kahran042]

If I never hear the phrase "bug juice" again, it will be too soon.

There's a great preschool show from England that I think is worth taking a look at. It's called Play School and it was produced from 1964-1988. It's a bit different from Sesame Street and LazyTown, because there isn't really a plot to it. It's just two hosts, selected from a rotating cast of fifteen or sixteen hosts, in a studio. They would tell stories, poems and sing songs, but mainly focused on imaginative play, like pretending to be a squirrel or a tree or a typist. There was also a section where the hosts would "go through a window". The viewer would be given a choice on a window shape. A square window, an arched window and a round window. Through the chosen window, an educational report would be shown, like how crayons were made, or a child visiting a park, etc. Now, this was a good show because it didn't patronise its audience. The hosts were kind, pleasant people but they felt real. They felt like adults talking to children, and the education value was still there through the imaginative play. I'd recommend checking it out. It's far more educational than whatever they were trying to do with this movie.

2:51 I did that but with randomly muting the TV to say random swear words for episodes of Spongebob I guess there’s a reason why I was seen as the weird kid in school

[@ReimiJoestar]

26:30 Thats Joy from Earl! I cant believe they got her here. Imagine if she snapped back into character here & caused a ruckus

[@BalloonSage]

Hi! I have seen so many Oogieloves reviews and it is wonderful to see a new one. Thanks!

[@DamonAkuma92]

Harold and the Purple cryan bombed lol.

[@hamishstewart5324]

This movies so sugary sweet it could make a hummingbirds heart explode.

[@NewSonyWonderHappyMadisonFan]

9:46 Judging by the trailers I don't think the Harold and the Purple Crayon movie is going to be aimed at a preschool audience (it probably is going to be marketed towards them though because it's based on a book series for little kids). Also Bug Juice slapped don't compare it to garbage like Ooogieloves.

[@magicspyglassakachloe3277]

FINALLY! SOMEBODY WHO MENTIONED MY BEDBUGS! It's something I grew up with as a kid and that I have nostalgia with. It sucks that they decided to just.. mess with the show and turn it into The Oogieloves. I mean it wasn't as good as other kid's shows, but it was much better than the movie.

[@DisgruntledWoman-re2ro]

It's easier to be better than Oogieloves

[@ExplorerDS6789]

Man, listening to those so-called moms and the interviews with Viselman were making me feel nauseous. How can they possibly feel that way? Also, that advertising budget must have been spent on booze and meth because I barely heard a word about this ridiculous movie back in the Year of Our Lord 2012. I only heard about it from internet comedian Brad Jones (the Cinema Snob) on Twitter, so I looked up the trailer... and again, I felt nauseous. Just WTF was I looking at?

[@Dinosaurwith42heads]

Cant believe someone actually remembers this shit

[@TheIrkenEmpire420]

This movie straight up feels like a shitty parody of My Bedbugs

[@RathouseFilmworks]

Pray they make a Skibidi Toilet movie. Plot exists there, even if it doesn't.

[@ConorDaRobin]

Oh lord, I hope not.

[@Imperials3nate]

17:41 What fecking message Kenn? I thought this film was just a KidsBop playlist starring celebraties.

[@thecaledoniansleeper2648]

Lazytown was too good for a Nick jr. show. While the show’s main focus is to promote healthy lifestyles to kids, it had incredible stunts from Magnus Schieving as Sportacus, Stefan Karl as Robbie Rotten was enjoyable, couple of the songs slap that had became memes like You Are A Pirate or Mine, it was action packed. I see the show as like a live action anime. Anyhow, the Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure simply gives media from the preschool genre a bad name.

[@Black_Revue]

The Second Rewiew I watched about this Fail... Great Video

[@SonicXtreme99akaCreeperMario]

3:30 video starts here

[@ThatRandomEncounterGuy]

This movie feels like a PARODY of an overly saccharine movie for literal babies; especially since I’ve seen the Paw Patrol Movie and thought it was actually pretty well made for what it was-scale, character, action, even drama, all without feeling like it was going too hard for its target demographic. Honestly, I kinda wish they would’ve leaned into this feeling like a parody of a preschool show, like Death to Smoochy or something. Like, you have two actors who are supposed to be playing a brother and sister but they’re having sex the whole time the cameras turn off, the director is portrayed as a washed-up coke head just doing this for a paycheck, throw in some scenes where the kids are smoking on set and getting into screaming matches with their parents; really go balls to the wall with it. Now THAT’S a movie worth being in 2000+ theaters.

[@ExplorerDS6789]

Ken Viselman looks like a pro-wrestler who's going to speak at a college.

[@GreatMewtwo]

Wow. We got a Bow Bow reference.

[@harrygardner7257]

This is the worst film than my company makes nowadays

[@jamesklatt8245]

Bro forgot Spain existed 💀

[@harrygardner7257]

Sesame Street was good the first 16 seasons

[@TomCat2563]

I grew up watching Transformers, TMNT and GI JOE. The bs like this needs to be banned.

[@Sun_Simp]

dont talk sh*t about Ben and Holly
