When Disney made Silent Hill for Kids

[@nman551]

“In my restless dreams I see that forest…thousand acre woods”

[@sukamadik5983]

Ok the whole meme revolving this game has made me laugh far more than expected.

[@kanatapaw]

Was there from the start on twitter. Prices from £3 to £100 was quite something lol. The piano music playing was taken for a online flash game called the house.

[@rinakitty9283]

If you don't cheer piglet up, he gives birth to God and brings forth paradise with blood stained hands.

[@OtterManu]

I was so surprised to see this obscure game getting so popular all of a sudden, because I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only 20 people or so that actually played this game back then

[@tmarioman]

I beat the game when I was young.

[@GalekC]

i watched a longplay of this game a few years back just to see the woozles & didn't know about the spoop this game contains

[@CaseyArata]

To Be Fair The Game Sounds So Redickuless That Most People Probley Didn`t Even Know Exsisted...

[@vasaline_slime_gaming98]

speaking of Obscure, did you play Obscure 1 and 2 on the Playstation 2? it was Resident Evil but with killer plants and college kids

[@RisenFromDarkness_1880]

I played back when video tutorials on it were almost non-existent and very hard to find.

[@TheA10king]

Poohs been died for 3 years. Let him go piglet

[@thebrutaltruth460]

“ Don’t you remember? There was honey everywhere “

[@SuPeRNinJaRed]

0:10 The irony is that Pooh was the forgetful one...

[@lollypoplove23]

Zero word on the actual silent hill soundtrack in this game that adds everything to the spookiness? Cmon man

[@antonmilajo]

"Gentle horror", now that's a genre! ❤ Thanks for your deep investigation, Kai!

[@ChillyChief612]

This feels like a creepy pasta, i can't believe this is real

[@MechaTamago]

In my restless dreams, I see those woods... 100 Arce Woods You promised me you'd take me there again someday. But you never did. Well I'm there now. In our special honey tree. Waiting for you.

[@salty4266]

Its Poohs Letter sent to Piglet

[@balabanasireti]

Stolen joke

[@robhiggins3287]

Well to be fair… just look up what has been coming out since the original Winnie the Pooh books became public domain. Yeah I saw the disney version a lot as a kid and remember the “pantless elephants” as you called them.

[@luxoflux5064]

sure but this wasn't public domain time

[@Fahmi4869]

"Because if you have kids they should not playing games like Silent Hill." And yet I played the first Silent Hill game on PS1 when I was still in elementary school, and I played it in midnight alone by myself

[@InkRibbon]

Same 😅

[@JohnKobaRuddy]

And now look at you, a bonafide serial killer.

[@Lezard_Valeth]

The music was the big thing about the creepiness. I'm a person who gets scared from good sound design and this game has it.

[@raptorskilltor4554]

1:32- he does look a little bit like James Sunderland right there

[@mickymousejuju]

🤣🤣🤣

[@daveyvalentyne7233]

Chicken Run for ps1 is genuinely terrifying.

[@jonbourgoin182]

Can you elaborate? What's terrifying about it? Genuinely curious

[@lauramac90]

I had the demo of that game, I remember really liking it but also finding it scary lol but I never got to play the full game.

[@bookerplayer01]

I May have made a video parodying the scene with Pooh behind bars. There's also the segment where piglet jumps down a series of holes. Someone on that dev team had to know, right?

[@thebrutaltruth460]

They knew!! They purposefully designed it that way to replicate silent hill. They were actually a bunch of over experienced devs made to work on this game, so they went to town!! They explained everything on twitter

[@emmibee6637]

I loved Winnie the Pooh when I was a kid, so when this game came out when I was seven, I was so stoked. I picked it out at Family Video, brought it home, popped it into the ps2, and played for like fifteen minutes before the entire vibe (from the music to the woozles and heffalumps to the eerie empty scenery) creeped me out so bad, I put the controller down, slowly broke down in tears, and ran to my dad in the other room. Needless to say, he didn't get what the hell spooked me so badly. I barely remember it in anything more than vague blips and flashes, but I still get the creeps thinking about it. I'm so glad people are talking about how effing creepy it was lmao

[@SteveOfWarr]

"There was some honey here... It's gone now"

[@NenePoS]

That uh…combat(?) with the elephant is the most “WTF just happened? Logic is dead” I have ever seen

[@Lord_Deimos]

Nothing is more unsettling and surreal than Disney's decision making in the last 15 years.

[@thedredayshow9246]

To be fair, Luigi's Mansion would be the Resident Evil for kids. Hell, I'm fairly certain a mod of that exist somewhere on the Internet

[@jefficusgunman5885]

Monster house for ps2 back in the day was wild

[@toddmansilver12]

i was absolutely ready to shit all over this idea but no, that's straight up survival horror. Baby's first survival horror, perhaps, but survival horror nonetheless.

[@heardofrvb]

The Christipher Robin interaction is to restore Piglet's confidence.

[@eagleeye5189]

Part of what made this game so creepy is the lack of music. While you're walking around levels there's no sound except your own footsteps and the things you interact with--and especially in places like Owl's dream, it contributes to a very eerie feeling. I remember being genuinely terrified at this game as a kid, I never got through a full one of the dreams past Pooh's.

[@cassiopeia36]

The developers aimed at Piglet's Big Movie, and ended up hitting on New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (with a dash of In Search of Christopher Robin) instead.

[@MatrixRefugee]

New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh definitely had some horror vibes in several episodes. I can't think of the title or even the plot, but there was one episode set at night in the hundred acre woods that had the creepiest ambience and visuals.

[@PyccoloSantos]

I didnt know Xi jinping stared a game, what time to be alive.

[@arbaazshaw8123]

Get new jokes

[@LV94bigguard]

I was 6 when i first played Silent Hill and i loved It (never got beyond the diner, but that's beside the point)

[@Vavqu_]

ngl this for me all of those kids shows are kinda scary definitely more than RE and SH

[@simonmittelstadt6680]

I find it so fascinating that simple things like that suddenly make you think about other things. I mean, I'm still someone who says Luigi's Mansion is a representative of this genre.

[@Fallenangelcas98]

Man, it's quite nostalgic seeing this game pop up. I actually played it when I was a little kid, and I do remember getting scared playing it

[@mirolinks]

i love how this game kinda just blew up out of no where because of one twitter post

[@gabrielperillo6329]

I played Re3 with My dad when I was like 7/8😅😅... and he'D make fun of me for being scared

[@aligator5779]

"Little goody two shoes" its such a hidden gem you should try it

[@seansmodernlife9823]

Thanks for not over selling this thing and trying to force the "scary" like every other channel. Might emulate for the Eyore level for fun & appreciation

[@googaboogaloo]

For eeyore it’s always like this

[@SebWashie]

In my restless dreams i see that meal… burrata spaghetti with coke oh yes…”

[@juanatenco453]

Well at least its kinda like Silent Hill 4 with all the multiple worlds to visit and puzzles to solve. That's the greatest similarity I can find between this game and Silent Hill.

[@jackiedominic2302]

Didn't mention the foreboding ambience ost. Fraud.

[@lollypoplove23]

Right, it isn’t scary at all by the way he talked about it the whole video without letting us hear what the game sounds like besides some boring cut scene voice lines

[@zeroingzacharia1567]

It’s the ambience and foreboding samples that make the game a little eerie in fact Silent Hill 2 remake and this game use the same sample which is very funny considering there two completely different games

[@timothey94]

C’mon Kai. I was playing RE3 when I was 6. You gotta get them into survival horror early 😂

[@magita1991]

I never even heard of this game.

[@Choerrycoke]

same

[@ghostly8846]

Me too

[@Guilmonhero]

Did you already played Luigi's Mansion for the Gamecube? It was a pretty scary game for me when I just started Middle School, but it's basically just Uncanny Valley with the very human looking ghosts compared to the cartoony Mario Bros. It was just really creepy to play through it when I was younger.

[@rawNuncut_gamez]

you should make a video of the science behind the infinite herb glitch in the best resident evil game - code veronica :)

[@1Staubsauger]

Game got stuck in my head but I never heard anything about it, I think the game was also on Ps1 back then not sure. Now I remember 🤣

[@Probably_CLOUD]

It was on GameCube and PlayStation 2 back then. There was also a GBA version, interestingly enough.

[@linkthehylian]

I was not expecting Eeyore to be voiced by Optimus Prime himself.

[@timelady696]

I mean, okay, parts of the game where scary as a kid, and I hated the "pursuers" kind of ennemies, but it's not resident evil or silent hill. But it is funny that the game popularity got up overnight i guessn

[@timelady696]

It mostly eeyore level that is scary. (Not sure if eeyore is the correct name, in french it's bourriquet).

[@spikeness118]

I REMEMBER This game it was fun i used to played with my younger Brother he was 2-3 years old.

[@jodie93-h9y]

A game that terrified me as a kid and still terrifies me now is the Chicken Run game. Absolute nightmare fuel.

[@RESIDENTFRANCO]

Another title that is very creepy is Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse for the gamecube... that game gave me nightmares!

[@Drachenhannes]

Piglet just rented a room in thousand acre woodside apartment.

[@AlexDiaz-gw5ov]

It is more like Medievil meets Resident Evil 1 for kids in terms of gameplay with a Silent hill styled soundtrack. No wonder it got popular.

[@JustinWO-31]

The monster house tie in game was my first resident evil game lol. It's not unintentionally scary but it's a pretty decent resident evil clone

[@VIRACYTV]

You’re not being anticlimactic. You’re being honest and saving some poor person tons of money.

[@davidariyan7915]

Wow another hidden gem. Thanks I never knew about this game. I love horror games

[@wickdaline8668]

Didn't feel like RE nor SH at the beginning.

[@NewOrderOfAlexandria]

Don't know if you ever played Abe's Oddworld but that game still freaks me out. It's a 2D platformer where you play an alien trying to escape a meat processing plant where they're trying to butcher you and your own people (the modukens) so they can sell you as "new and tasty" meat. It's surprisingly gory and the bad endings (to all games) usually end with Abe getting executed or chopped up. The sequel has modukens with stitched eyes shut and it all looks so damn creepy. It looks like a DreamWorks animation too btw.

[@tiaroronoa]

I loved this game as a kid omg

[@Zahri8Alang]

How can you just sit There and Eat Honey????

[@LordDragballZ]

This game now being 500$ all of the sudden is insane, this was probably in the bargain bin at some point.

[@LeeirahBrashka]

This game terrified me as a kid 😶‍🌫

[@LolGurrl91]

Lol how did this get green lit for ages 3+? 😂

[@jeremyhall2727]

Thank you for playing this ❤ you're saving people a lot of money

[@wileecoyotegenius5955]

Just for the record, the creepiness of this game was entirely intentional: the elevator pitch was "Resident Evil for kids" and it was designed to be scary but also comedic and chill for a younger audience a-la Luigi's Mansion. Obviously it's not scary for adults but it's not meant to be, it's a kids horror game and anyone who played it as a kid can attest that it very much fulfilled that purpose. I think the trend has given people unrealistic expectations for what this game is, it's a solid licensed game from a time when most titles like that were shovelware, not some genre-defining horror masterpiece. It's a cute little kids game that just happens to have a kind of creepy liminal vibe that really stuck with me and other people who played it growing up.

[@Tony_Kim_]

5:08 Optimus Prime being depressed like this is so weird to me It sounds like he's so tired of everything...😢

[@puffythedestroyer8878]

Meme or not, & even if a “Winnie the Pooh “ game not being scary is a “no shit Sherlock” deal: ya gotta admit a game aiming to gently nudge preschoolers in the direction of classics like Resident Evil when they grow older is… interesting, (Even if for the fact this is likely the only game to go out & do it [as confirmed by the designer].) Though I wouldn’t be surprised if those mirror guy & the slot-machine robot proved troublesome for kids without the aid of an older sibling or parent.

[@ph34rbucket91]

I think I watched Indeimaus play this

[@PointsMaster]

I rented this game from Hollywood video when I was 8. I thought this game was so boring I returned it that day and exchanged it for another game. Crazy this game is so popular now for some reason.

[@LordDragballZ]

That intro was hilarious

[@Kiwijr2579]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the creepy music. That's pretty much the reason the game can be creepy. Especially Pooh's house which sounds exactly like Silent Hill.

[@RyonTeachesMugen]

WTF is that ending credit song? LOL I love it! did you ever release it as a full song?

[@rayblack2004]

7:55 "THIS. IS. SPARTA!"

[@KnightSoulLP]

i recommend u to try 40 Winks this game was really spooky to me when i was a kid and till this day i think it has a creepy vibe :)

[@MrFreefonix420]

The rugrats ps1 game! You gotta try that next, theres ALOT of creepy levels including using a flashlight to kill ghosts, hmm siund familiar?

[@MistarZtv]

Kai casually dropping that he caries a trunk around. 😭

[@EggmanlandResident]

So not quite "Silent Acre Woods," but still a pretty fun little romp.

[@robynsrecs2183]

childhood favorite

[@ibrahimihsan2090]

8:34: As a kid, I mostly played computer games and you would find something scary in some of them as a kid. Boss is too hard to defeat, scary. You have no idea what the boss is doing, scary. The background music is too "serious" or "niche"(like acapella or something) or just a bit tense, scary. My personal favorite was one about the Regular Show zombie episode. At least, for it's music. Otherwise, it was the Mystery Incorporated game.

[@ScottyMo]

Nice quick review! Who is the RE2 song by at the end?

[@SSJvegito501]

So this is like saying Super Mario 64 or Banjo Kazooie 64 are silent hill or resident evil games because both of these games also feature one scary level each.

[@Yuffie13]

I'd heard about this game trending (it was referenced by Longplay Archive, who put up a longplay of it "because people are talking about it right now"), but I didn't know the context until now. Huh. I seem to remember being creeped out by one level in Crash Bandicoot when I'd watched my brother play it ("Road to Nowhere", I think?), and Heart of Darkness for PlayStation was creepy AF but not exactly a little kids' game. (Rated E, but would probably be re-certified as E10+ these days). On an unrelated note, I've heard that Chicken Run is a kind of kid-friendly version of Metal Gear Solid. So is Looney Tunes' Sheep Raider, too, come to think of it...

[@keynanmartinez]

I'm still surprised this was official from Disney.

[@Yungbeck]

I just watched MindPulp play this and it was a riot XD

[@cjrock95]

Is it weird that I want a parody game of Piglets big game but it's like a resident evil and silent hill type horror game? Or even just Winnie the Pooh in general.

[@robhiggins3287]

erm i saw one thing I didn’t expect to see in a Winnie the Pooh game… kids game… game.

[@wadesams194]

Lmao when I was a kid I couldn't get past the beginning for some reason and eventually sold the game, now I regret that decision

[@hipsterwriter]

Is it weird that this was from 2003? And the horror movie came out this years?

[@backonurporposeclips]

Try monster house for PS2/gamecube

[@Madcomplex]

I'm not going to lie. When I first heard of this fad, I immediately knew it was BS. One thing everyone needs to understand as someone who follows trends is that Millenials are no longer the ones in control of fads anymore, that is Gen Z, and if any of you have seen the old meme of one guy pouring alcohol from a flask into another dudes red cup with the captions labeling the flask guy as Millenials and the red cup guy as Gen Z. You know they looked up to us as the cool kids before they ended up belittling us because they eventually got to become the next cool kids on the block. The reason why we're not in control of it is that most of us are at the age of 30 and over to now hold a chair of political power (yes you have to be age 30 or older in order to run for any office as it is a sign of maturity in the US), our youngest Millenials are 28 years old soon to be 29 years old as of the posting of this comment. We no longer care for what is cool. We left that game a while ago in pursuit of economic growth for ourselves as well as the families we started when we were in our 20s. We let Gen Z do that until they, too, are ready to give it to Gen Alpha (who I hear now is coming after Gen Z but at an even earlier age then them, because who likes mubble rap, or candid camera antics, right?). It's just how life goes right now with fads. We used to say, "No lie", they come back and change it to be cool and say, "no cap". All because they don't want to sound like us because we are old. Don't ask me how the next generation is gonna go, but hopefully, it's somewhere along the lines of a 1950s fad, "Gee-willic-kers!" And this is me wanting to see the weirded out faces of Gen Z in their 30s wondering "what the fuck happened to the kids today?". Be like your Mom and Dad at this point, stare and then look back down at the newspaper and completely forget what the hell the kids ARE doing today, as along as they are outside and not inside, I get to rest on my day off in peace y'all

[@asakurawhyte4320]

Gotta ride the hype train.

[@vasaline_slime_gaming98]

what about Rugrats on the Ps1 that game was fucking terrifying

[@apolloefebo123456]

This is totally resident evil and silent hill for kids 😂

[@rolandmendozain]

Love it, i remember hearing about this

[@zenone9698]

You should check out Pandora's Tower a wierd rpg mixed with Survival horror.

[@Null_Experis]

People hype up these things for meme value. The game's price will drop back down to normal in a few weeks (about $15-20 for a complete copy) Nobody is buying them at these insane prices.

[@ern1813]

Make a second channel named “red square” dedicated to silent hill.

[@gabrieljustiniano4302]

Was that Optimus Prime voicing eeyore?

[@rus.t]

But does Piglet's Big Game have the dog ending?

[@lollypoplove23]

No word on the soundtrack?…

[@DoctorNerdly]

Heffalumps? They look like Heffalumps to you?
