What I love is that his motivation is literally just hating children learning. Other villains would be like "Oh, this kids will learn and somehow threaten my power!" or anything. IM Meen just goes "Shit, kids studying. Not on my watch. Hellish labyrinth time."
No villain comes close to the spirit crushing misdeeds and undeniable likableness of IM Meen, not even the greatest of shakespearian plays can hold a candle to the magnitude of his sprawling and well planned character development.
theres not much villians now after undertale I think that's kind of good but I still really want some good villians flowey was pretty good except hes also a good person in secret so he still got some funny villianus jokes they did it good with frankie from journey behond sodor so they do other character development instead of straight up evil Meen was also one of the first villians who uses humor instead of bloodshed
Honestly, this is a perfect example of a voice actor having fun with a really stupid villain. if I was this guy I'd make him sound as maniacal and crazy as possible. This is the perfect representation of that.
I can't stop rewatching this. The animation is fun (CD-I quality animation is always a classic), the song is legitimately solid and gets the plot across, and the voice acting makes this a top-tier non-Disney villain song. Same honestly goes for the sequel, Chill Manor.
Actually, The voice actor deserves an Oscar for his act. The Philips dudes who made CD-I Shitty games made the cutscenes from this game, awesomely. this game was goodly sold. so... they won moneyyy~
@@MadChristoph Exactly. That's why it was more successful than the Nintendo CDi games, because it was on a mainline computer platform that was the primary home of the RTS genre and already had the best version of Doom!
So this is what the animation style of Zelda CDI looks when done competently? It looks so bizarre, it's clearly the same animators, but it doesn't suck.
Though he abselutely despises the goodie goodies and enjoys punishing them, he still can’t bring himself to inflict bodily harm unto them. Truly a man among men.

Right after he says "secret" around 0:16, he winks right as it turns to 0:17, but the wink is so fast that's it's very difficult to see. Using the > and < keys around there while paused should make it easier to spot. I wouldn't have even known he did that at all if I hadn't paused completely at random to do something and found it on the wink when I returned to the video.
I love how the voice actor went so hard he now infact teaches people voice acting, i mean i read he did that a while ago but idk if he still does it now lol
I can imagine this game potentially getting a HD remaster on Steam. They already did that with Super 3D Noah's Ark and more recently: Chex Quest, so it might not be out of the question for that to eventually happen.
No, I have thought of that before. A new, incredibly sick game would be cool. It shouldn't be educational because it wouldn't make sense, all the children that played this are now fully grown-ups, so it'd be cool a last game of I.M. Meen as a kind of "final goodbye".
It's because of the equalizer settings I used. The background noise has always been there, but now it's more apparent. This was done to make the voices and music sound more crisp.

Funny fact: The voice actor of this game now holds an acting school.
Who was the voice actor
Tell us!
NiGHTS108 hi jackson
NiGHTS108 His name is Peter Berkot
Sick, sounds like he was very passionate about this weird game and did a great job I think. He'd do good with a school.
They literally had no reason to go this hard
But they did, and it was wonderful!

If they're in a library, I'm surprised no one has told him to shut up and stop dancing all over the place.

It is actually a pretty decent game. The animation and voice acting is top notch too
