The Rat King Song - Strawinsky and the Mysterious House

[@ShadeMeadows]

strawinsky.net I own NOTHING, but i thought i should spread this song too, not only the Globgogabgalab one, and opinion here, the movie has bad animation and awkward pauses, but it is NOT a bad and incompetent movie, see the Making-Of of this movie on it's site, it explains a whole lot! (even mentioning FNAF's Scott Cawthon as inspiration, and that's was way before he made FNAF) And the people were a small group, they do deserve more attention, i mean, the story is good and the songs are catchy, i would say they did a great job! strawinsky.net

[@ElrobertosuperioESA]

Shade's Insane Chamber but its an great anime

[@FeralFawns]

It indirectly tries to tell children that books are bad and ungodly. Religious propaganda

So... His plan is to make everyone reads books, right? Top 10 villain that are actually good guys.

[@ShadeMeadows]

huh... Indeed~

[@TankieBoi]

He'd make the perfect good guy for "Fahrenheit 451"

[@sock4634]

To be fair, Rat King's song was my favorite. Plus, his design is as well. It's pretty decent for what Hope Animation had, and his song is actually pretty catchy. The actor for the Rat King has a great voice for villan, and that just makes this all the greater.

[@ShadeMeadows]

Yup Yup! Agreed and Agreed, it's a pretty solid villain song, can't say if he is a pretty solid villain since he is in the movie for one minute and a half, but yeah, Hope-animation did awesomely in that Regard.

[@pivotnaza]

Best character after the Globgogabgalab... and he only got like.. 3 seconds and a song :/... on the other hand, the Rat King's song has "over the garden wall" vibes..

[@ShadeMeadows]

It does! doesn't it?

[@cooldudejustcooldude.493]

The troll song also got that Over the Garden Wall feel you're talking about

Ironic that the best song in a Christian cartoon telling kids to serve god is sung by Satan

[@ShadeMeadows]

It is sweet~

[@RkivUnderground]

It isn't inspired by Disney musicals for nothing.

[@gluntford]

are you kidding me you can't beat the gabgalabgogab song

[@Vulpes_Ailurus]

It’s even more ironic that it’s the best song in the movie.

[@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544]

I think the Rat King is meant to represent atheism, which as this movie presents is pursuing personal desires rather than that of the great Elohim. Evidenced by how the globglogabgalab (a creature who does whatever he wants and suffers from this) was presumably turned into what he is by the rat king and how the violin was convinced by the rat king not to worship him but to play their own tunes unguided by Elohim.

[@hdaikamo6793]

This is pretty much RatBoyGenius with higher budget. Even the villain is a rat king.

[@floralspr1te]

The great HG *slightly higher

[@hdaikamo6793]

Yeah, good point.

[@jativerspo2953]

The great HG Both series were made in around the same year...

[@hdaikamo6793]

I didn't know that. I need a crossover because I bet the Rat King sure loves to make potato knishes

And a soundtrack that is 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@SmartAlec1]

This guy is weirdly intimidating. Not very comical, his voice and how he says "my child" are legit unsettling.

[@JokerFan-hj4iv]

He's supposed to represent Satan.

[@SmartAlec1]

Robot Jones I mean they at least try to make him threatening. He's still a shortass rat who appears out of nowhere.

[@MiroFloydtan]

This and the Troll Song are probably the unironically best songs from this movie

[@ShadeMeadows]

i like the Globgogabgalab one too~

[@fishyfishy3140]

DJ 3lectrical hell all the songs were pretty catchy

[@CursedRaichu]

a rainbow Fishy Not the Book song. God that song is annoying. 😂

[@RkivUnderground]

I like how the lighting in the mysterious house becomes a music video for an 80s power ballad whenever Strawinsky sings for the Scarlet Queen, then immediately reverts back as soon as he's done.

[@katebottley5143]

This villain had less screen time than Darth Vader in rouge one and that's saying a lot

[@rosiewave5607]

I actually unironically like this song

[@gabriellavedier9650]

The music has such a vibe of like... competent 80s composed Filk about a fantasy property, or medium decent Eurofur 90s music about a villain that wants to bang.

That trumpet part starting at 1:05 is awesome.

[@kstanford387]

Okay, this movie is anything but good but, to whoever voiced the rat king, I hope you find more work In life. You were probably the best voice actor of this movie. I know that's not saying much, but it's still something.

[@jeebiv4961]

Do the books always dance along to whatever song is playing in the library?

[@ShadeMeadows]

It seems so~

[@apdsouza]

It's a cheap way to use the same animation again and again

[@WaspCameraInSpringfield]

The books are imbued with the Rat King's power. They dance along with the Globglogabgalab as well because the Rat King's eldritch knowledge basically mutated him into what he is now.

[@ThatLittleKitten]

I wish this had more instruments, this kind of sounds simplistic, but it's very catchy and well written

"The Great Elohim" Love how they didn't even try to hide it

[@adamriggs2698]

He just hides in the cupboard the whole time, comes out to sing about how powerful and evil he is, then immediately does nothing and runs away like a coward. Then the other characters go on talking like nothing happened. Yep. Definitely seems pretty fierce to me.

[@V3rmundr]

A metal cover of this would be amazing

[@ShadeMeadows]

If i'm not mistaken the official DVD comes with a Cover~ ;P

[@starkamitheater721]

Too bad this guy got less screentime than Greedo in A New Hope. I honestly wouldn't mind if Hope Animation made a sequel to this film where the Rat King fights the Scarlet Queen. Also, the Rat King needs to have a rap battle with Little King John.

[@DimmVargr]

AND WINS!

[@EpicBzzBoy3]

I think a death metal or rock remix of this song would be a sick idea.

[@ShadeMeadows]

RIGHT???

[@jamalthadon819]

Shade's Insane Chamber Nah fam, a Hip Hop Remix.

[@jasonsmith8802]

Allegedly there's a remix you can get of the song made by the Rat King's voice actor. Not sure what the genre is since it involves buying the movie, and I can't be arsed to do it. Alternatively, the voice actor founded a Christian metal band if you actually do want to hear him do metal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/in-kYWiIgdSdoa8

[@natalijatheghost]

Oh my god, I want to try that

[@missnotonsils3248]

[@alovering92]

Eric Clayton provided the Rat Kings voice. He was the lead singer for gothic rock band Saviour Machine and played the role of Reason in Ayreon’s The Human Equation.

[@trentonthompson247]

Andrew James the movie creator expected this to sell the movie to Clayton's fans... I don't think the audiences really line up

[@V3rmundr]

And I wondered why this sounded so metal to me even without actual metal music haha

[@curtoonstudios3809]

I can see SpringTrap singing this.

[@skepticowl7417]

Hope animation should make a sequel where we get to know more about the rat King,the globglogabgolab and the Scarlet Queen.

[@virstralskingofthepersons]

bro just went ahh I’m spooky rat king ok bye I’m going to not have any other importance in the story and run away

[@WillieManga]

When I heard that a rat king would be in this film, I thought it would be a reference to The Nutcracker. And yeah, this guy would be actually pretty intimidating in that show.

[@RkivUnderground]

If anyone is blown away by the Rat King's voice and song in this film, it's because he's voiced by Eric Clayton, lead vocalist of the band Saviour Machine. Go listen to that band, especially start with the song "Carnival of Souls" and be blown away fiftyfold.

[@trentonthompson247]

RkivUnderground the creator expected to sell this movie to Clayton's fanbase... I don't think the audiences line up

[@RkivUnderground]

Trenton Thompson well ironically this film sold me into Saviour Machine. There's that.

[@acth490]

Strange that The rat king didn't get enough screentime, only a good catchy song. I could imagine if Springtrap could sing this song.

Tremble in fear my child follow me into everlasting night I am your fiercest foe oh how frightful terrifying is the Ratking’s evil might. For no soul ever resists me my regime is fierce and grim I will spread my kingdom of terror and destroy Great Elohim. Tremble and fear my child follow me into everlasting night I am your fiercest foe oh how frightful terrifying is the Ratking’s evil might.

[@ponkpunk0]

Damn... this reminds me of the nightmare before christmas???

[@cheyennejohnson-m7i]

Man this film had potential, potential that was bloody wasted. This film was actually based on a German Children Book series, and out of all the books from the series they chose to adapt it was the third one. This explains the whole Lack of Lore. Not to mention the film was created by an inexperienced animator (David Hutter) who was also a bit of a Toxic Christian, I’ve heard, this film could’ve had a decent plot. Also I’d change the Animation style and character designs, go for something that’s hand drawn and has a similar art style to Disney Renaissance films or Don Bluth, it doesn’t help that in the end credits they show illustrations from the original book that is just pure evidence that this would work in hand drawn. The songs are decent as we see here, if they had a stronger orchestra I’d say this song would be on par with stuff like Be Prepared or the Dark of the Night. That doesn’t mean that the studio that created this project (Hope) has created nothing but trash, I’ve actually seen some of their other features that Scott Cawthon worked on, mainly stuff like the Pilgrim’s Progress and Noah’s Ark, sure the animation is outdated and has rough, jagged movements but they aren’t heavy with symbolism or propaganda, have a decent plot and have some appealing designs (seriously look no further than Apollyon from the Pilgrim’s Progress) But yeah, this studio can definitely create decent projects, it just depends on getting the right people to do it.

[@maverickdarkrath4780]

The fact the guy who made this movie skipped the previous books for adaptation , the rat king literally has no context to why hes here, why he after the main characters or what's his relevants to the story , like seriously they put so much work into making everything an reference to Christianity that they completely forgot to make a story that made sense
