When I was studying animation, we were shown this clip, as an example of a masterclass in animation and acting. It's jaw-droppingly brilliant. Madame Medusa is so over-the-top, you get a great sense of who she is through her acting and animation.
I would recommend an animation class studying the Disney short Peter and the Wolf and the sequence from Peter Pan in which Mr. Darling trips on Nana and goes rolling around the nursery and winds up with toys all over him.
Medusa is easily the most criminally underrated of Disney's villains! She manages to be detestably vile, and at the same time, deliciously comedic, thanks to Geraldine Page's delightfully hammy vocal performance, coupled with the vibrant animation by Milt Kahl. He went out with a bang on his last assignment!
Yes, even her theme is ominous and sinister more than any other Disney Villain. If Cruella was heartless towards animals then Madam Medusa is pure evil and diabolical towards children. Her wickedness knows no bounds.
I read in a book about all the Disney characters that the phone in the scene when Medusa hangs up and begins to pack for the trip represents Snoops. When Medusa says she will catch a plane to Devil's Bayou, she is poking the receiver. If it were Snoops, the finger would have poked him in the chest or in the eye. When Medusa shakes the phone, she is either strangling Snoops or shaking him. Hanging up the phone is a resounding slap across his face.
Geraldine Page's voice work here, as Madame Medusa, has a musical quality to it, with rhythm and pitch. When she seethes, then loses her temper completely, it is like a spoken-word performance of poetry ("You caught Penny... sending messages... in BOTTLES?! YOU BLUNDERING FOOL, CAN'T YOU... CONTROL A... LITTLE... GIRL?!"). No cursing, just the power of tone, tempo, and words to make you feel, not just hear, her rage. Mix that with the visual of those haunting green eyes, and it leaves you with chills. This movie has been a big part of my life since I was too young to remember, and Medusa is basically my introduction to Disney villains. You never forget your first one.
It pairs incredibly well with the music of this movie which is some of the most incredibly haunting and foreboding of any Disney movie- there was a palpable sense of danger throughout the entire movie - and ESPECIALLY the whole scene in the cave. My god the entire time you watch that it is absolutely harrowing. A brilliant choice to have the greatest danger be not the fantastic villain, her alligator minions, not even the dark depths of a flooded pirate cave itself... but a hole... a bottomless black pit in the deepest recesses of the cave that unpredictably vomits up a flash flood that will drag you into its depths Talk about a perfectly unholy trigger for a child's imagination.

Wolfgang Reitherman stated: "I took Margery Sharp's books along and there was in there a mean woman in a crystal palace. When I got back I called some of the guys together and I said, 'We've got to get a villain in this thing.'" The villainess and her motive to steal a diamond was adapted from the Diamond Duchess in Miss Bianca. The setting was then changed to the bayous found in the Southern United States. By August 1973, the villainess was named the Grand Duchess with Phyllis Diller cast in the role. A month later, conceptual artist Ken Anderson began depicting Cruella de Vil, the villainess from One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), as the main antagonist of the film. Anderson had drawn several sketches of Cruella de Vil sporting alligator-leathered chic attire and sunglasses; one sketch depicted her wearing bell-bottom pants and platform shoes. However, several staff members such as animator Ollie Johnston stated it felt wrong to attempt a sequel for the character. Furthermore, Mattinson explained that Milt Kahl did not want to animate Cruella de Vil. "Milt, of course, was very strong against that, 'Oh, no no. We're gonna have a new character. I'm not gonna do Cruella'," Mattinson recalled, "Because he felt that Marc [Davis had animated] Cruella beautifully. He was not gonna go and take his character." The new version of the character was renamed Madame Medusa, and her appearance was based on Kahl's then-wife, Phyllis Bounds (who was the niece of Lillian Disney), whom he divorced in 1978 This was Kahl's last film for the studio, and he wanted his final character to be his best. He was so insistent on perfecting Madame Medusa that he ended up doing almost all the animation for the character himself.
this is a criminally underrated Disney movie and Medusa is a criminally underrated Disney villain!!! She is my favorite female Disney villain of all-time!!!
You know I am at the moment rewatching the old Disney classics after many years. And I must say, this one is the darkest/most depressing one of them all! I do really like it but its totally different from the rest somehow. Also probably because the way everything looks, dirty, drab, rainy, old decrepit buildings etc. This one hits different, its not cheery at all
@@emafuchsova1649she was supposed to be Cruella De vil but it got changed Fun fact The German voice actor Gisela Reißmann voiced Cruella De vil Madame Medusa and Ursula
I like how her shop has shotguns in a corner and the NRA sticker at the counter. No wonder she's quite formidable with her shotgun despite missing to hit Bernard and Bianca.
Imagine you’re watching this scene while pretending that you’re sneaking into the pawn shop like Bernard and Bianca, and when you hear the phone ring, you hide anywhere in the room and stay hidden during the phone call while waiting for Madame Medusa to leave.
Some sources haves pointed to how the calendar says Thursday the 12th. Then at the end of the movie, it is Friday January 13th when Penny gets adopted and Bernard and Bianca go off on their next mission. This must mean the film takes place from May 11th to May 15th 1966. Then the Epilogue takes place on January 13th, 1967. I think that makes sense because Penny couldn't have gotten adopted immediately after returning. The process would have taken a while.
Medusa is just an amazing villain. As a child she was more scary than Ursula, but as a 38 year old I think its just the best animation and Page's voice work is fantastic!
Medusa: "Oh! Why won't this stupid thing CLOSE?!" I'd tell her, "Maybe it would if you folded the clothes first." But I guess she'd respond with, "Oh, shut up!"
Me: Madame Medusa, that temper of yours is going to get you into a lot of trouble someday! Madame Medusa: TEMPER?! TEMPER?! BOY, YOU AIN'T SEEN MY TEMPER!!! If I ever catch that little brat escaping Devil's Bayou again, I'll blast her! And next time, I won't miss!

Hey, if she has a hold of a Ti-99/4A computer, she could send an audio cassette in a waterproof container hoping someone would run the program she made.
came here from a short apparently Medusa was revenge. The main animator or an animator drew inspiration from his ex wife to show the world how he saw her. though as I care not to research if this is true or not I find it funny

I won't be surprised if Medusa gave a horrible price or deal at her pawnshop.
or sold defective items with a no return policy.
@@robinorlowski2449 exactly I would never buy Items from such shops.
@@robinorlowski2449 Infact her store probably receive bad review and horrible ratings.
@@Warrior_Saint88 and obviously a magnet for crime
@@robinorlowski2449 yup and scams too which are becoming tricky to see as well. So we have to steer clear of all the corruption.

U caught Penny sending messages in BOTTLES!?!?
Hey, if she has a hold of a Ti-99/4A computer, she could send an audio cassette in a waterproof container hoping someone would run the program she made.

Why did Medusa keep Penny's book in her shop?
What's a pawn shop?
came here from a short apparently Medusa was revenge. The main animator or an animator drew inspiration from his ex wife to show the world how he saw her. though as I care not to research if this is true or not I find it funny
I'm Making A Video About Auntie Shrew and Madame Medusa Arguing Each Other
Medusa’s trans-Atlantic accent always confused me. Like where is she from?
I don't know. Where is Maleficent from? Nashville?
@@TaranWanderer2 lol who knows?
@@mattmayo3539 My point being, does it really matter? 😁
@@TaranWanderer2 enough for you to be worried about it.
@@mattmayo3539 Not me, you. We should discuss this over coffee
I-con-ic
1:02 jump scare
Why was Penny kidnapped?
I dunno.
Penny was the only one who could fit into the cave where the devils eye was hidden so Madam Medusa kidnapped her to get the diamond
@@headofcosmospictures1232 So Medusa is what got that chart book for huh? Their innocent children.
Medusa and Snoops need a child that is small enough to enter the “Black Hole”, a underground pirate cave and retrieve the diamond.
she could have kidnapped Anni instead of Penny.
Medusa and Cruella De Vil would get on
Milt Kahl made Medusa to represent his ex wife Walt disneys niece.
