Opening to Pinocchio 1985 VHS Zak Wolf 2012-06-24 | This was taken from the very first VHS copies of Pinocchio from 1985, the version with the black padded clamshell and the more heavy, durable VHS tape. This version also includes the trailer for "The Black Cauldron," which to me was one of Disney's weakest animated movies (along with "Treasure Planet," which suffered a similar fate as "The Black Cauldron" did.) You will notice the trailer has a small amount of unused footage in it, and different sound effects (the trailer even has "Castle Thunder" heard at the start; the actual movie used newer lightning sound effects instead.) As bad the movie is, it does seem to add to the nostalgia of this tape, along with the older Classics logo (it helps give a complete eighties Disney Classic VHS viewing experience!)1.

KidWorks 2: Mine Your Own Business! Zak Wolf 2024-10-16 | Here's what it would've been like if I used that weird Kid Works 2 program as a kid to write an adaptation of the classic "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" episode "Mine Your Own Business", using the funny text-to-speech synthesizer.
Scrappys Rap but its the HD remaster Zak Wolf 2024-10-15 | Here it is: Scrappy-Doo's infamous rap number from "Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School"... the high-definition remaster seen on Blu-ray! The instrumental backing by John Debney is great, but, geez, Scrappy-Doo's attempts at rapping are only a little better than Hamton J Pig on "Tiny Toon Adventures"...

Sam Valentinos October 2024 Update Zak Wolf 2024-10-13 | It's Foxtober, so of course Sam Valentino has a few updates to share about what's going on in the animation world (i.e. "Velma" ending, Maxwell Atoms's financial issues) and with this channel, especially since Halloween and Furpocalypse are coming!Here's a link to my eBay store, as Sam mentions...ebay.com/sch/wilee2005/m.html?item=186728451838&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l170197And here's a link to the GoFundMe for helping me out.

Castle Thunder compilation in modern (post-1993) cartoons! (Revised Oct. 2024) Zak Wolf 2024-10-12 | Updated once again for the Halloween season; a montage of the second most well-known sound effect in the entertainment industry (next to the Wilhelm Scream), the Castle Thunder, as seen on this site...http://www.hollywoodlostandfound.net/sound/castlethunder.htmlIn the animation world, this sound was typically associated with Disney and Hanna-Barbera. By 1988, Castle Thunder began to be phased out by most movie, TV and animation studios, however some cartoons in the 1990s onward continue to use it (especially anything that Pomann Sound and Hacienda Post/Sabre Media Studios does sound editing on, or certain reboots of older properties). This montage is a continuing work-in-progress and will be replaced with an updated version sometime in the future.For those curious, I've compiled a list of the cartoon clips used here:docs.google.com/document/d/1hvUK08xTm7El8yzSWie2v7c1cHZbR4AGQ4GZeeI0MG0/edit?usp=sharingA BIG thank you to the Sound Effects Wiki for helping me find some of these clips!NOTE: I chose to not include SpongeBob SquarePants, even though the pre-2005 episodes used Castle Thunder, using all the clips of it would take up too much room; same reason why "Hey Arnold" isn't here. I was also surprised to hear "The Simpsons" start using it occasionally as of Season 34! Usually, the show uses a thunderclap that sounds like the old Warner Bros. gunshot sound effect.All clips ™ and © by their respective owners; FAIR USE!

Too many fire alarms this year! Zak Wolf 2024-10-04 | Why is it that I end up in more fire alarm activations on years that end on a Tuesday?! This same kind of thing happened to me 22 years ago on this exact date, but that one was much worse. At least THESE alarms are on Code-3!
An Itchy and Scratchy Song by PlainTalk Zak Wolf 2024-10-02 | Today's the 30th anniversary of the premiere of one of my all-time favorite Simpsons episodes: "Itchy and Scratchy Land!" So to celebrate, here is something me and a friend came up with back when we were in high school; a song about Itchy and Scratchy that also summarizes the "Pinitchio" segment from that episode, sung by the Apple PlainTalk (a.k.a. MacinTalk) voice "Good News", i.e. a robotic voice singing to the tune of "Pomp and Circumstance". 20 years later, I still think it sounds pretty funny!
The Simpsons crashing sound effect Zak Wolf 2024-09-27 | This is the default sound effect "The Simpsons" generally uses for impacts and crashes. No matter what's being destroyed, such as a car accident or a large glass pane being broken or a building collapse, they all sound like this (like a light bulb breaking), in a manner not unlike the Warner Bros.- Seven Arts "Looney Tunes" cartoons using that Hanna-Barbera "smash against wall" sound effect for nearly all the crashes and impacts."The Simpsons" screengrab © 2005 FOX and Disney Enterprises; FAIR USE!

A Coyote at the Door Zak Wolf 2024-09-17 | Here he is; my revised cosplay of my favorite Looney Tune: Wile E. Coyote! I know, the colors of the mask don't match the suit, but so what? I figured a skit like this was appropriate for introducing him on my channel here, to also tie into the 75th anniversary of the release of the Looney Tunes short "Fast and Furry-ous", the cartoon that introduced Wile E. and the Road Runner.I want to thank my brother @billdeco08 for assisting me with this video shoot.Oh, and also,#releasecoyotevsacme
Warner Bros Animation thunder effects from the 2000s (REVISED) Zak Wolf 2024-09-13 | One interesting about Warner Bros. Animation is that they have connections with Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services. (It sort of harkens back to the 1940s, when Treg Brown was on staff.)These are the main thunder sounds that Termite Terrace has used during much of the 2000s, around after Sander Schwartz took over as president (he was the cruelest of them all!) You still can't find a good chunk of these on existing commercial effects libraries or anything like that, which is why a few of them still have background music attached. These thunder sounds are largely sourced from the libraries and creatives at Warner Bros., Skywalker Sound, Glenwood Editorial, and Weddington Productions, and were used on many of Warner Bros. Animation's productions since then, such as "Static Shock," "Ozzy and Drix," "Justice League (Unlimited)," "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" and related direct-to-video movies, "Teen Titans," "The Batman," "Legion of Superheroes," and many of their direct-to-video movies and the aborted theatrical Looney Tunes shorts of 2003-2004. A few of their subsequent productions like "Looney Tunes Cartoons" still use some of them.A BIG thank you to the Sound Effects Wiki for helping locate and identify some of these!

This time, it's from "Superfudge", i.e. the "Farley Drexel Meets Ratface" chapter, where Fudge Hatcher has a rocky start with kindergarten, and it's up to Peter to help smooth things over!
The Simpsons Education First PSA (1992) Zak Wolf 2024-09-06 | Here's a really rare bit of Golden-era "The Simpsons" material that hasn't gotten its own upload here yet. It's a really short PSA for Education First cira 1992, with a short re-dubbed clip of Bart Simpson's epilogue from "Bart the General". Bart was still a pretty popular character then, even though Homer Simpson was now pretty much the star of the show by this time.This particular airing came from after the premiere of "Lisa's First Word" on December 3, 1992, the very first Simpsons episode I remember watching when I was little (only four years old!) We had the premiere recorded onto tape at the time, and I clearly remember this short PSA after the closing credits and logos.Footage courtesy of @fatmandu2851 .PSA © 1992 Education First, 20th Television and Disney Enterprises; FAIR USE!
What if Animaniacs had the Turner Globe Logo? Zak Wolf 2024-09-03 | Another thing I recently whipped up to "celebrate" the 30th anniversary of "Scooby-Doo! in Arabian Nights". What if Turner had a hand in distributing the actual original "Animaniacs" to cable in the mid-to-late 1990s and tacked their warp-speed 1987 "Globe" logo onto the end, the way they did with most of the Hanna-Barbera stuff aired on Cartoon Network and Boomerang at the time (including "Arabian Nights")? It'd probably go something like this, and would definitely be less redundant than the actual cable prints of "Arabian Nights" with its' two Turner logos, or when Cartoon Network reran "Animaniacs" in 1998-2000 with at least two Warner Bros. logos in a row replacing the original?"Animaniacs" footage and logo © 1994 Warner Bros.

YouTube Poop - The Worst Arabian Nights Adaptation Ever! (Part 2) Zak Wolf 2024-09-03 | I am proud to present to you a classic YouTube Poop of what may be one of the worst Hanna-Barbera cartoons ever produced: "Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights." Released on this day 30 years ago in 1994, and was essentially a rip-off of "Animaniacs" (down to the music!) as well as a rip-off of Disney’s "Aladdin" (throwing in a bit of "Sleeping Beauty" as well) The animation was very flat and wonky, even for 1994! It doesn’t even use the distinctive Hanna-Barbera sound effects library very often, instead relying on the Looney Tunes/WB sound effects, as well as the same sound FX that VIRTUALLY EVERY OTHER CARTOON PRODUCED IN 1994 USED! And to make it worse, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy barely appear in the movie! (Which is probably why they just originally titled it "Arabian Nights".)So in this poop, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are hired as Royal Food Tasters, but naturally they pig out and avoid being killed by Mandark, er, I mean the Caliph, by having Shaggy crossdress and tell him a VERY long and boring story, involving bagels, bears that whine for food, an upper-class cyclops and more!"Arabian Nights" © 1994 Warner Bros.

YouTube Poop - Caillou and the Canadian Fire Alarm! Zak Wolf 2024-08-26 | Here's kind of a special Caillou YTP from me in time for the Back To School season, of an episode of that cheesy "Caillou's New Adventures" reboot that really hit home for me, since I was a lot like Andy in this when it came to school fire alarms. As such, it was a little difficult to translate to YouTube Poop form, but I was also able to represent how such the sensory overload would feel on me!In this reboot, Caillou and his friends now attend a preschool class in a typical public school building and even have elementary school-level lessons taught to them by Ms. Martin! One of the students in their class is Andy, an autistic boy who was introduced near the end of the original show's run, and he reacts the way you'd expect during a routine fire drill. I also left the original fire bell intact, given that this still presumably takes place in Canada like the original show did (hence the title), though this is actually a co-production between Canada, the United States AND the United Kingdom (where fire alarm bells were also once really common)."Caillou's New Adventures" footage © 2020 WildBrain; FAIR USE!

If April 9th had one of those Arthur Adventures audiobooks... Zak Wolf 2024-04-10 | Here's a fun little project I thought I'd try and do. I'm sure several of you remember those "Marc Brown Reads Arthur" audiobooks on cassette and CD from the 1990s, especially since I played a couple of them for you on this YouTube channel as part of my signature fursuit read-along review vlogs. Well, what if the famous "Arthur" TV episode "April 9th" had such a version of their "Say Hello to Arthur" theme song to open it? It'd probably go like this...LYRICS:Say "hello" to Arthur!He just can't wait to meet you.He's off on an adventure, And really wants to see you.Come along with all his friends!Arthur is the friendliest aardvark,You'll ever get a chance to meet.He has a lot of fun, and sometimes problems, Just like you and me. When he finds he's in a pickle, You'll be amazed at what he can do.A rainy kind of day doesn't get in his way! He's got friends to help him through! Welcome to Arthur's adventures, At home, at play, and school! He's just around the corner, Saving a place for you, So come along with all your friends! A normal spring day goes all wrong, When a fire breaks out in the school! It's really noisy, and really scary, And anything but cool! Arthur now worries for his dad, And his friends have their problems too. But try as they might, they know things will be right, Because that's what friends should do!So, say "hello" to Arthur! He just can't wait to meet you. He's off on an adventure, And really wants to see you. Come along and be his friend. Come along and be his friend!The instrumental track came from HERE:youtube.com/watch?v=c9kLHoquMLgExisting audio tracks © 1993 Hachette Audio; FAIR USE!
Family Guy G.I. Joe PSA with the actual music! Zak Wolf 2024-04-05 | Here's yet another one of my signature mashups where I combine a certain parody with something from the actual source material. In this case, it's the "Family Guy" moment where Flint of "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero" appears to give Chris and his friends a public service announcement about alcohol abuse (complete with Bill Ratner reprising the role of Flint!). For this, I was able to use Final Cut Pro's "Isolate Vocals" feature and edit in the instrumental "G.I. Joe" theme music from their actual PSAs. Not surprisingly, now we know it fits pretty well, definitely more so than the soundalike Walter Murphy came up with! And knowing is half the battle!"Family Guy" footage © 2005 FOX and Disney Enterprises; "G.I. Joe" music © 1983 Hasbro; FAIR USE!

Drew Pickles Rants About Paramount+ Purging the Rugrats Reboot! Zak Wolf 2024-04-01 | Yes, I heard about Paramount+ and the Nickelodeon site suddenly purging a bunch of their newer Nickelodeon shows, including "Big Nate", "Blue's Clues and You", and even the CGI "Rugrats" reboot! So of course, Drew Pickles is pretty unhappy about that...And remember, you can see the BigBoyRats "Rugrats" dubs, including a couple dubbed episodes of the reboot, HERE:drive.google.com/drive/folders/15dTpZ2SbSRtygyDGTLRLq_Fhv8mv45m8?usp=drive_link
Inspector Gadget soundtrack: Brains Theme (TV version) Zak Wolf 2024-03-27 | Here's a track from the Australian "Inspector Gadget" soundtrack release by Shuki Levy and Häim Saban (and its' 2013 French reissue) that hasn't had a standalone release yet: the TV version of "Brain's Theme" (a.k.a. "Le Thème de Finot"). It was often used when accompanying some of Brain the dog's (my favorite character) antics and achievements (since he and Penny were the ones that truly saved the day while Gadget bumbled around), and was also used in some of the PSA segments that played at the end of episodes (such an example is pictured).Eventually I want to make a fursuit of Brain! He could be fun to cosplay as at conventions and the like.© 1983 Saban Entertainment; FAIR USE!
