  • The Johnny Bravo cartoon we all know and enjoy started out as an entirely different idea- and to this day- that idea has never been released in full.

    I asked Van Partible about this when I was at Loyola Marymount University. He said the short would never be released because it used the Miles Davis song "Whole Mess o' Blues."

    • @LSuperSonicQ
      @LSuperSonicQ  7 ปีที่แล้ว +103

      Ah really? That's interesting. I wonder if there's a way he could either edit the song out, or just mute the audio. But I also wonder if anyone would even go after Van, since a non-profit TH-cam unlisted upload wouldn't really affect anyone.

      @TalkSickMass 7 ปีที่แล้ว +48

      I'd still see it, even if the actual Elvis song was used. Maybe because of Partible's success with Bravo with "Mess" as the basis, the estate of Elvis may demand for some sort of royalties.

    • @RobinZeg
      @RobinZeg 7 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      So apparently it was an Elvis song? Makes more sense, but I swear Van said Miles Davis. This was years ago, so maybe my memory's faulty.

    It is a student film, so it wouldn't surprise me if Van wasn't in the mood of sharing that in its entirety. Many animators often do that in their early years and never share their films with others unless through close friends. I've seen plenty of work of this sort that have circulated out there including stuff from those familiar names like Butch Hartman.

    I want to go back in time to 2000. That was the best time of my life as a kid. No cares, tons of awesome cartoons, and no games that are broken on release.
    A quick edit since so many people have been replying about this, Yes I know there were games broken on release back then, but the vast majority of them weren't broken unlike today's gaming market where its pretty much normal business to fuck over your consumers and give them broken games on release.

    Dexter's Lab and Johnny Bravo were a big part of my early childhood. The heavy Elvis references also inspired my interest in early rock music which, "Mess of Blues" was a popular Elvis song. I wouldn't be surprised if the full concept video was animated to the song basically making a music video.

    When I asked if it included the elvis song, and if that’s why it wasn’t released, they replied “no he just likes it being a fun little personal thing that he can share with people he meets. He advocates keeping things just for yourself and your friends and that not everything needs to be shared online”

    The part I remember about Johnny Bravo is when he gets turned into a pretzel by a girl he was flirting with. Don't know why but it's always been stuck in my mind.
    Come to think of it, I remember playing those CN games, one with the chicken and cow running around and I remember I had to find duck(duct?) tape for Cow. Another game which was my favourite was this one where all of the 2000's characters were like... in a big house-ish thing? Maybe it was water balloons or something else, but I remember it was a lot of fun.
    UPDATE: I found the one about the duck tape thing, apparently it's Summer Resort, and the graphics are a lot lower than what I remember but the dialogue does remind me of it. Nice.

    Mess o Blues is one of the orginal lost media “Holy grails”. Next to Cracks,847,clockman and cry baby lane . But the problem with Mess o Blues is that there is only one copy of it and Mr.Partible doesn’t want to release it. The only way it gets released is if he releases it or Hanana Barbera made a copy but that is highly unlikely

    Classic my bum. Johnny Bravo was awful imho. The main character was obnoxious, way too overlay flirty to a cringeworthy level, this made the show garbage. It aired for 4 seasons too long if you ask me.
