Heck No Pooh's Adventures

Pooh's Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action, part 5

Seriously, it’s very hot over here and I can’t turn the fan on because I won’t hear what anyone’s saying!

• 1:25 SPOILERS: This doesn’t happen.
• 2:20 Just when I was moderately chuckling.
• 4:14 Not as much as characters appearing somewhere else when they’re supposed to be in the desert.
• 4:40 Oh, if only they had the software to scream at once.
• 5:30 Why aren’t the penguins the heroes again?
• 5:38 More special guests. It would make more sense if we first see the Power Rangers villains here.
• 7:01 What? An awe montage now?
• 8:57 An edited picture and a caption nearly completely in the way of the edit. These videos…
• 9:55 Can’t they use a reaction shot that doesn’t involve a character that is a friend of Pooh’s but not supposed to be part of the team?
• 10:52 For God’s sake, even the Ash clip fits.
• 11:18 EVERYONE: What?
• 11:30 He’s started it three times so far.
• 12:25 Oh, shut up, you Walt Disney bastard.
• 13:17 Eh, now don’t start that again!

Pooh's Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action, part 4

I haven’t yet complained about how quiet the real movie footage is compared to the inserted footage. Sort out your THX sound settings, damn it!

• 0:12 Not even Abu’s flattered that you’re mistaking him for Piglet.
• 0:47 A more cartoonish reaction would be freezing in mid-air and exposing a skeleton for a few frames.
• 0:59 Pretty much the only reason this was rated PG in my country. Know your ratings, crossover creators! What would parents expect with “Pooh” in the title?
• 1:37 And fail at it.
• 1:48 Nice try at covering Brendan Fraser up.
• 1:55 Ash, you’re not too young to battle but you’re surely too young to gamble. This isn’t Bob’s Burgers, you know.
• 2:32 Clearly Ash lost.
• 4:18 Like I said, how can they all fit in the car? And wouldn’t the vultures be flying?
• 4:46 This line nearly always leads to an introduction scene. Oh, bother. This is no ti
• 4:52 Just as I was about to type the same thing.
• 5:27 Well, the visuals here surely seem to fit what Rabbit’s saying.
• 6:24 Like a bad crossover isn’t inspiring enough.
• 7:46 Just because spy films are about suspension of disbelief doesn’t restrict me from questioning the logic of this.
• 8:07 Nobody knows with you around. Where are you supposed to be?
• 8:12 “rescure”
• 8:15 Like adventurers like you would never see it coming.
• 8:22 I get the felling the creatore is furgeting how 2 spel.
• 8:27 Speaking of which, Pooh isn’t talking much…
• 9:22 Because why the hell not.
• 9:50 Speak for yourself. You’ve been on thousands of adventures already.
• 10:22 That’s it? Saves even more time, at least.
• 11:10 If they were, they’d be wearing funky suits right about now.
• 13:46 The first time in ages this is timed right.
• 13:57 Look at that, the crossover characters are starting to become aware of their own repetition.

Pooh's Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action, part 3

• 0:27 Just what a near-silent shot like this needs. Lots and lots of talking. This is half an hour longer than the original film.
• 1:00 I can hear music. Not actual talking, at least.
• 1:27 Proof that BrerDaniel has not seen Psycho. PEOPLE LIKE THIS.
• 2:49 Same way you end up in these crazy adventures.
• 3:06 See what I meant when I talked about car space? Oh, who am I kidding, I could’ve said this in part 2.
• 3:56 It’s as if friendship matters more than anything. Which it does, but this fucking Pooh’s Adventures.
• 4:06 *ponders* Hmm, problem solved indeed…
• 4:14 Kronk makes a point. We could do without Ass Ketchup for once.
• 4:30 Again, problem solved. They could have made this decision earlier so that the whole car mystery would make sense. But how would Japanese monsters know how to get to Vegas anyway?
• 4:36 Hooray.
• 4:56 Of course, with software like Windows Movie Maker, Charizard would always know.
• 5:05 Like I said, you could’ve made the decision earlier and this would make a marginal amount of sense.
• 7:16 We can tell that he’s listening to the real villain.
• 7:53 Not even Charizard thinks this makes sense.
• 8:21 Now the people in the casino are clearly treating Daffy like a regular citizen but wouldn’t they be running from the giants? This casino would be destroyed by now and they’re going to have to pay for the damage.
• 9:57 They’re that desperate to do another “what” montage, aren’t they?
• 10:10 EVERYONE: What?!
• 11:06 Again with the actually fitting penguin reaction shots!
• 12:01 Again with the desperation.
• 12:26 “worser” “WORSER” “WORSER“ ”PEOPLE LIKE THIS”
• 13:31 I should have seen this coming.
• 13:39 Thanks for saving us some time. For now.

Pooh's Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action, part 2

I like the part at the beginning because bascially they’re trying to make Space Jam. Oh God, I just stated the obvious, didn’t I?

• 0:04 Oh no you don’t. Unless it’s Kristen Wiig Bunny, no you don’t.
• 0:09 That’s even worse.
• 0:11 You tell him, Misty. We’re not having another interspecies relationship in this movie!
• 0:20 At least these people know something about pedophilia.
• 1:11 So? You’ve already got Donald. Paint him black and see how it works out. Kids are stupid, after all.
• 2:14 Why would you incorporate a supermarket into a spy home anyway? Be classy.
• 2:28 You’re judging a Looney Tune. Stop it.
• 2:32 OTP
• 4:07 Speaking of which, Piglet’s turned into a puppet.
• 4:12 No you haven’t.
• 4:21 You know what? This adventure would be a little bit better if the only guests were the penguins. This is the most suitable reaction shot yet.
• 5:58 See what I mean?
• 6:04 Because the Genie has never turned into a monkey to give this a more fitting answer (Abu doesn’t count).
• 6:24 Yes! You be in charge! It doesn’t always have to be a clumsy teddy bear.
• 7:43 In Pooh’s Adventures, even being slapped by a penguin with its flipper, even the most skilled and psychotic penguin, induces more pain that you can imagine.
• 8:28 Why are you surprised? You just reacted to a terrible cartoon and Bugs pretending to be in immense pain.
• 9:29 You should be, going on so many adventures.
• 10:02 Ahem…
• 10:40 Yeah, because Winnie the Pooh has just as big an ego.
• 11:28 Correction: I don’t know why we’re here, period.
• 11:51 He means Pooh’s Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
• 12:53 How can you tell? He’s obscured by the roo- Oh, of course he can tell. No hero is safe from Pooh Bear.
• 13:43 Just because the president of Octan wears this doesn’t mean this makes perfect sense.

Pooh's Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action, part 1

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is more than just a crossover to make us feel giddy seeing characters from seperate licenses join together. It’s one of the greatest technical/artistic achievements in cinema history. Trust me, I saw it at a special screening with The Thief and the Cobbler that coincidentally took place on my 21st birthday (I even had photos taken with Richard Williams himself).

Unfortunately, several people these days see it as just something that makes them excited just because it’s Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny together, so now seems like the perfect opportunity to recap one of the films that tried to cash in on the success of Roger Rabbit, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, the film that is at least better than Space Jam. But this is the Pooh’s Adventures version, so that automatically makes it worse.

The closest Back in Action could get to being a crossover were a smart take-that at the Scooby-Doo movies offered by Warner Bros. as a marketing gig and the Daleks among other classic sci-fi aliens. But thanks to the magic of Windows Movie Maker, we are treated to Winnie the Pooh, Pokemon (of freaking course), Mickey Mouse, the Madagascar penguins, numerous Disney sidekicks and the villains from Power Rangers. Hm, can’t be worse than the work of Yakko, can it? Well, let’s dig into this anyway. It feels great to be Pooh’s Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

Goodness gracious, out of everyone in the audience Dick Williams could’ve shook hands with…

• 0:00 Well, so far I can already tell why YouTube wouldn’t allow this…
• 0:30 John Lasseter, you dun goofed again.
• 0:46 I bet you £50 they’ll use the Warner Animation Group logo in two years’ time.
• 1:18 The year is 2014 and they still can’t find a replacement.
• 4:51 You’re thinking of the wrong cartoon, lady.
• 6:07 And what better way to introduce our guests than a simple reaction shot to the antics of Brendan Fraser?
• 6:18 Hey, it’s at least better to have them already know each other than strand them in what they think is a desert.
• 6:25 So far, this makes more sense than other Pooh’s Adventures. After all, these are humans co-existing with cartoon characters. Question is, how are they all going to fit into the spy car?
• 6:55 ASH: Especially since Harvey Weinstein nabbed us away from them.
• 7:03 Rather than anything significant to the plot, we get a whole discussion about intercompany friendship. Your gang’s big enough, guys.
• 7:50 I love Daffy too, but now’s not the time for sympathy.
• 8:47 Because in Pooh’s Adventures, everything is a lot easier.
• 9:20 You know, they really could have seen him as he escaped. After all, there’s so many characters standing behind Brendan Fraser that you’d think someone would know where he went.
• 10:08 Like I said, there’s a lot of characters behind him. Most of them would already know they’re going to fall off the moment Fraser does so.
• 10:15 Insert a whole bunch of characters giving Fraser real pain by falling onto him.
• 10:33 No, this is 2003, you idiot. Besides, the Looney Tunes would be CG if it really was this year.
• 11:52 The gesture Daffy’s doing is enough to tell them “behind you”. These Pooh’s Adventures creators understand looniness even less than Warner Bros. today.
• 12:24 Please, the special guests we have right now are enough.
• 12:53 Of course you are. Now stop stating the obvious and start breaking the fourth wall.
• 13:44 You think Matthew Lillard’s bad, you should meet YakkoWarnerMovies. Then again, you could be speaking to every employee at Rhythm & Hues right about now.
• 13:55 For starters, you can go back to Disneyland.
• 14:01 No cooperation would make this better. And she’s right at the last part - nobody learns anything.
