Joe Raposo was one of America's most gifted songwriters, and this is probably his most underrated body of work. There's a lot of innocuous vibrations you can hear in this record that could be purely from the mind of ol' Joe. This is if the Beatles scored the film's musical numbers in their experimental/psychedelic rock era.
HOLY CRAP. I just finished watching this movie and I have to say, it is one of those beautiful animated movies I have ever seen. The story may be simple, but man does the music and THE ANIMATION blow that out of the water. This animation is the best I have seen in an animated movie in FOREVER. If I had to describe this movie, I'd describe it with one word, wonderment. This movie, imo perfectly embodies a childlike wonder. It's a shame that this movie is never talked about often. I'm trying to get more and more people of my generation to rediscover this movie and it's enchantments.
Bemi Atto This and Dark Crystal (which I actually watched when I was 21 year old, lol) are the best children movies ever. I think Toy Story stole this movie fame, unfortunately.
That's a Great Mother! I only wish I could have seen this when it came out instead of renting it at the local VHS Rental store, but oh the Good Old Days!

The first movie I ever saw in theaters... the film is incredibly surreal, kinda creepy too... but the music and songs are so good... particularly the theme music is beautifully magical... Start at 9:12 for the I'm Just a Rag Dolly theme that's my favorite song.
I remember going to see this on a Kindergarten field trip to a single-screen movie theater back in 1984-85. Really well done and the music is awesome. King Koo Koo totally reminds me of Mel Brooks for some reason.
wow did you guys really understand the story back in kindergarten tho? 0_0 I mean, that's seems so young to me for a movie that had such a deeper meaning. Although, I'd probably be that one teacher that puts it on for the kids to watch anyway. (mainly because I love it)
I had this soundtrack on 8-track and I played it non-stop when I was a little girl. I haven't heard it in decades, but I still remember almost every word. Thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane. 💕
This is my rip of the LP. "What's in the Box" was added by me, and I have no explanation for the echoing voices during the finale (the record's kinda beaten and I think the grooves might've gotten screwed up by being played with a bad needle).
80's Girl It's because it wasn't promoted like Toy Story and wasn't dubbed to different languages:(. It's quite complicated story to understand just based on imagery for kids and I say it from my own childhood experiences:), this is probably why I loved TS more as kid then this movie, though even with language barrier I could appreciate this movie to certain extent.
I just recently found this movie after remembering the Nostalgia Critic mention it. The story was kinda ehh, but the voice acting and animation were spectacular, and I did enjoy several of the songs. No Girl's Toy is especially lodged in my brain, though the pitch this version is in seems to be different from the movie. Ah well, minor thing.
As uncomfortable as watching this movie in my adult years made me, I still gotta admit some of the songs are kinda good, and the animation is pretty great.
If this were to be revised into a better musical, I can only imagine the tear jerker of an ending it would be going from Ann and Andy singing Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers, 50:35 transitioning to the credits song at 0:18
@@eleanorhogan8643 Sorry to bring this up so late, but there was a musical of Raggedy Ann. It wasn't this specific story, but it was, apparently, still good.
@@fiertlaen8724 I have seen that on TH-cam, I thought it was very good, the actors look like they would look in real life, the songs are good and Andy is so silly and funny, I liked it a lot.
Captain: I still love you Babbette Babbette: I'm very flattered Captain but I love someone else (she points to Raggedy Ann playing with Andy) Captain:(thinks she is pointing to Andy) Oh, you love him. Babbette: No, I mean the girl one. Captain: Oh you love her, (thinks for a minute) but I think she is in love with that boy. Babbette: No that's her brother. Captain: Oh, (thinks for a moment) can I still be your friend? Babbette: Certainly (she calls down to Ann) Ann? Ann:Yes? Babbette:I love you Ann:I love you too Babbette Andy:make sure you treat my sister right Babbette:I will Andy honestly. Andy:Good (to Ann) I tell you sister, make sure she treats you nicely, if she puts one foot wrong, you tell me and I'll sort her out. Ann:Thank you very much Andy, but there will be no need for that, I'm sure everything will be okay.
I showed this whole film to my best friend Tom yesterday as he had never seen it and he really liked it, he liked the songs no girl's toy, candy hearts and paper flowers and blue, he liked the bit when Camel is walking along the path and there are loads of stars in the sky and the ending, he found the twin pennies annoying and rather scary and he found Topsy rather scary I agree with him about the twin pennies (I find them very annoying and rather scary) I think that this film would have been just as good without them, I did not agree with him about Topsy, I find Topsy rather funny and cute in a way, his only bad critisim is that and that the other toys should have had more of a role, I agree that maybe they should have a bigger role but Ann and Andy are really brave to rescue Babbette.
Thank you so much!!! Loved loved loved this album and these songs.. Joe Raposo was the lovliest kind of genius. Wish I could have thanked him. Thanks for posting!
I was hoping the Camel Mirage wouldn't have dialogue over it; I hoped to see if I could separate the song from the scene/sequence it's part of, and if it would be less creepy that way. (As it is, the mirage scenes still give me nightmares; and I'm in my 30's!) Even though certain elements of this film (such as the aforementioned ones) are weird and creepy; I love the songs. The finale of this movies is one of my favorites of all the musicals I've seen. It's just what I think musical finale should be; the entire good guy cast join together in a reprise. And it also fulfills how I think an Adventure/Journey musical should end; a back-at-home song. (Even though the homeward "journey" of this film is weird and abrupt.)
Tom wondered if Marcella could hear the dolls singing but thought it was normal due to her being a child and having a big imagination, personally I wondered that too.
Oh thank goodness, I was hoping to find a full version of "A Miracle". George S. Irving has got a killer singing voice, and the Captain's songs always get cut off or played with that obnoxious parrot, so it's hard to hear it.
@@lynnstoller4346 I first heard George S. Irving's voice on the soundtrack of the musical, Irma La Douce. He was also the narrator on the Underdog cartoons and the Stouffer's commercials.
Dear little cookie bush... sweet candy cookie bush.. all kinds of cookies are there! I'm just a doll.. a worn out doll.. My arms and legs are missing! Little wooden willie.. people thought him silly cause he had a knot hole.. IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS HEAD!!!!
Maybe now but back then, it was seen as cutting-edge, even if it did do badly. Although I completely agree with you about the soundtrack, the soundtrack is beautiful.
Raggedy Ann&Andy is such an underrated movie and way better then Toy Story (which I also love, though TS 3 was mediocre garbage sequel which wasn't needed in the first place). If I'd watch this movie dubbed as a kid I would have probably like it more then TS, however I still liked it even with the language barrier.
@@Ugmo3002 Well, you can't deny the fact that they DID steal the concept of toys talking when the children aren't around, which has been done in other movies before Toy story. I AM NOT saying that Toy story is bad, I'm just saying that it's a rip off
Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers maybe a sweet and tender song about sibling love, but it is tempting for a mature mind to think it may imply incest... =/
No it's not. Some people grow up closer to their family members than their friends (like me for example) and Raggedy Ann and Andy are closest to each other, of course they're gonna sing a song together
@@jocelynecupcakeI completely agree with you. Ann and Andy love each other very much. I love my best freind Tom as a sibling because I never had a sibling and I have always wanted a sibling. Ann and Andy are good siblings and they love each other very much plus candy hearts and paper flowers is a cute song.

my mother brought my younger sister and I to see this and we loved loved loved it. Still holds a warm place in our hearts.

You saw this in theaters?
If you think this is surreal, you should watch the yellow submarine film.
I find the intro title scene adorable! Ann's like making the letter y with her hands and arms that's cute, But that's just me!
I agree, and Andy making the A is clever and I love it when he punches the other letters.
This may sound weird, but I really like that section from 36:36-36:51. King Koo Koo's German accent sounds oddly pleasant with the strings.
no, man, you’re completely right on this. this part gave me chills almost every time i watched this movie
I remember going to see this on a Kindergarten field trip to a single-screen movie theater back in 1984-85. Really well done and the music is awesome. King Koo Koo totally reminds me of Mel Brooks for some reason.

Indebted to you! This is my childhood right here, not to mention the ORIGINAL Toy Story.
That's because it's not related to Toy Story.
