THE TWO LIZARDS of SPIDER-MAN 1967!? - Grantray-Lawrence vs Ralph Bakshi (Krantz Films)

Looking at how Ralph Bakshi (Krantz Films) repurposed an entire episode of Spider-Man 1967 into an entirely different episode!

This is the very best Spider-Man content on KZbin!!

I love how surreal and low budget Bakshi's versions are. He was definitely smoking a lot of heavy stuff.

[@willharris7609]

In this episode, Spider- Man was voiced by Paul Soles who also voiced Hermy on the old Rankin Bass Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. And Billy was played by Canadian actress Billie Mae Richards who also voiced Rufolph. And Paul Kligman who voiced J. Jonah Jameson also voiced Comet on Rudolph.

I’ve always been amazed that they held onto the cels long enough to achieve this. Most studios would clean off a majority of their cels to re-use them. I’m sure they kept certain scenes they felt would be re-usable given the low TV budgets. But it’s just remarkable they held onto so many episode-specific ones! Especially given the change in production studios.

2:29 - that’s from “The Vulture’s Prey” 1:39 - I think that’s from “Sub-Zero For Spidey” ? I’m pretty sure that background has also cropped up in a bunch of other season 1 episodes

[@EricLeValley]

I think I'm just gonna send you an early copy of any future Spidey videos before they go out so you can tell me this stuff beforehand lol

[@SunSmogBackup]

@@EricLeValley haha sure, I'd love to help

[@4thtroika]

I knew they used the same animation for these episodes, but I never noticed the little differences. Awesome!

I love Mrs. Conners handing him the note casually while sitting 8 feet away from him. She doesn't even stretch her arm out, she just moves the sheet like 3 inches forward and then a giant spidey hand comes in and takes it. Take a look at the frame where they'e both holding it at the same time

[@EricLeValley]

Truly a classic moment haha

[@alexsafonov7270]

I love the Ralph Bakshi episodes of Spider-Man 🤓👍🏽

From the plastic arts we turn to Superheroes. Last night on a 1967 Spiderman cartoon episode we witnessed the resuscitation of a great superhero tradition when Peter Parker came of age, in a European sense, with an almost Proustian display of modern existentialist superheroism, virtually annihilating by midfield moral argument the now surely obsolescent catennachio defensive philosophy of Doctor Kurt Connors. Connors was indeed a side 'intellectually' out argued by a Spiderman thrusting and bursting with aggressive Kantian positivism, and outstanding in this fine act of heroism was my man of the match, the arch-thinker, free scheming, scarcely ever to be curbed, midfield cognoscento, Peter Parker.

Straight up. Word!

[@ivane5110]

They definitely had to put in some effort to find what they needed from other episodes, so I don't have any issue with that since it does take creativity (kinda reminds me of the NASA scene where they dump the box on the table and say to make a filter outta all that). And I know back when these aired I didn't mind (the T V guide simply listed this 2nd one as new, so I probably just thought it looked similar). But nowadays I do wish that if they were gonna cobble a Frankensteinisode that they'd really gotten creative and added a 2nd villain or complete different location. Maybe even kept it all but just added some spikes or frills,metc to the Lizard. Good work finding all the sources.

Ralph Bakshi's Spider-Man cartoons were so ugly. Season one was great, but the two following seasons were horribly unwatchable. I hated them as a kid.

[@kalvingoodlaxson]

Have you done an entire video of how J. Jonah Jameson’s personality in this cartoon variation was the most different than the other cartoon versions? Because he was more disliked in it but it would be interesting of your take on this version and compare it to the other cartoon versions.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

oh no _doctor connors' class_

[@jamiemark]

Yes, more!!! Will you be taking a stab at the other "borrowed footage" from Season 1 episodes as well? I'd also love to see the episodes with footage taken from Rocket Robin Hood, and a comparison of those same scenes. **EDIT** Obviously I didn't look very hard, it seems as though you've already covered some of those. OOOPS!!!!

[@EricLeValley]

Haha I'll do more sooner or later! Maybe the Rhino or Vulture reused episodes?

[@vicsvhscyberplace]

@@EricLeValley I would definitely love to see you do both rhino and vultures reused episodes. This might be a lot of work, but another suggestion is you should totally do overviews of season three episodes that reused plots from season two.

[@louistenore2185]

The Krants films were more dark and dramatic than season 1
