"A Computer-Animated Homecoming For Kids Of All Ages!" Songs List: 3:51 - On My Way To Heaven 8:52 - Out Of His Great Love 12:48 - Led Out Of Bondage 16:15 - Dig A Little Deeper 25:23 - God Takes Good Care Of Me
It's beyond me that someone actually thought this was presentable. The soulless eyes of the "characters" are incredibly off-putting and creepy. This makes the animation in "Fishtales" look god-tier. Nevertheless I had to watch clips from Toy Story to remind myself of what good animation was.
This was animated by two people, before Google was really a thing, before TH-cam was full of tutorials, and with no animation experience. They also acknowledge that it's ugly and are totally ok with people memeing on it
maybe having a 3d animation back then even if it looked like shit was cool? i don't know, i'm pretty sure if i was kid back then i would have thought that "wowww look at those 3d graphics!"
Wow does this bring back memories! My grandmother was a radio talk show host for a gospel station and personally met Bill Gaither a few times- she got some of the VHS tapes as a gift for me (I was probably around 2 or 3 at the time) and I watched them every chance I got. Thank you for uploading this! I still have this on VHS and I'm going to search to see if I can find anymore of the episodes in my VHS collection.
Coming from 1997, it’s somehow understandable that the animation team had no mind of how 3D worked. That being said the scene where I thought could be a good reanimated Collab comes from The Cornfield 4 at 16:13
This brings back memories for me and the animation on this is so nostalgic and fascinating to me I remember my grandma would always babysit me when I was little and I would watch Christian VHS tapes all the time because my grandma wanted me to grow up knowing God and having Christian values and morals and I am so grateful for being raised that way and even though as I grew up I made mistakes and gave into temptations and sinned I know that God forgives me of my sins and I want to try to obey him and honor him with my life.
even though the animation, characters and story sucks, I have to admit, the voices of the main frog and that thing at 3:22 are amazingly deep. probably because theyre played by George Younce and JD Sumner.
Despite the creepy and a bit realistic animation I love it and I forgive the people, who made it, beacuse in the 90's technology was something limited and rare. I love the music, especially the opening and the brown birds.
24:04: "And, well, you saved me again, which is a good thing, 'cause no telling what would have happened to me. I could've ended up on someone's plate. I could of gotton FILLETED, and FROZEN, and SHRINK-WRAPPED INTO THOSE LITTLE BITTY FISH SQUARES AND DEEP FRIED AND PUT INTO SOME BRIGHTLY-COLORED BOX IN YOUR FREEZER SECTION OF YOUR LOCAL SUPERMARKET! *AH, AH, AHHH!!!*"
Craig Robinson: SHUT THE F*** UP!!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHUT THE F*** MEANS??!!! 😡😡😡😡 That was the opening part of sabersparks review of this episode 😂😂😂😂
Every single frame looks like the animation is on the brink of collapse and about to glitch out uncontrollably, so I'm impressed this is even watchable in the slightest
well actually I found it on a streaming site but is full of popups and bugs, but they had the other Gaither's, didn't check it though but thanks for uploading this here.
I tried check it on my history but couldn't find it, I recall it was a streaming site for pretty much any sort of videos from the 80's and 90's, but yeah couldn't find it, beside I think was this one, didn't check it back then cause the Thumnail looked ugly.
The songs are from the Gaither Homecoming specials, and the "Cornfield 4" are voiced by the Fairview 4, a legendary Gospel quartet. It's good music and great singing even if you're not religious.
Oh. My. God. This is SO MUCH worse than the other three. "But StarGazer! This came out in 1997! Cut them some slack!" Well, the show Reboot! came out in 1994, and it looks superior to this! I never thought I would say that.
Reboot was produced by several large companies that had loads of money and experience. This was made by a semi big gospel group who had only ever done live concerts. The two aren’t really comparable.
It's amazing what the PS1 was capable of doing.
Nah, Atari 2600 pushed to its limits
And people said the animation from 1999 was bad.
Its 1997
The first episode of Veggietales came out in 93, and it looks so much better than this.
This may have came out in '97, but it looks more like 80's cgi. Heck, there's some 80's cgi that looks better than this!
Animation now is bad as a person in 2024
This is the only Gaither's Pond episode I've seen during my youth, and after watching Saberspark's episode on it, I feel O.L.D.
Bro seriously, have you ever watched this on TV??
@@abrahamcortina6322 It was a VHS tape of it that I watch this episode a lot in one of my relative's house. 😅
@@Blazikenpwnsyou I always thought this was a lost episode that it was too rare to find VHS tapes of it
My grandparents had this tape when i was a kid. My child mind took the creepy animation to be charmingly otherworldly. 😂
Saaaaame, plus I got a genuine kick out of the music and voices.
this truly was a Gaither's Pond - "The Lure Depths" (1997)
I’m so glad this masterpiece is reuploaded to TH-cam.
12:30 "We need to tell the difference between the real thing and the trap"
GOD, DELIVER US TO THE PROMISE LAND *PLEASE*
We had this on VHS when we were little. I forgot how awful it looked. But I'm watching this and the memories are coming back very vividly now.
It's beyond me that someone actually thought this was presentable. The soulless eyes of the "characters" are incredibly off-putting and creepy. This makes the animation in "Fishtales" look god-tier. Nevertheless I had to watch clips from Toy Story to remind myself of what good animation was.

Yes. Some of the animal designs look realistic.
This is what Finding Nemo looks like from the early 90s without any budget
maybe having a 3d animation back then even if it looked like shit was cool? i don't know, i'm pretty sure if i was kid back then i would have thought that "wowww look at those 3d graphics!"
Can't wait for Sabers review of this

Can't wait for saberspark to review this
Well, I got news dude, wait til Friday this week
He already did today.
I was here because of saberspark
Big Bass Bill [Gaither] telling young Guppy [Guy] Penrod to "get a haircut." Priceless! LOL
Best anime ever
Coming from 1997, it’s somehow understandable that the animation team had no mind of how 3D worked.
That being said the scene where I thought could be a good reanimated Collab comes from The Cornfield 4 at 16:13
Saberspark sent me here!
(Btw, this animation looks creepy as hell! 😳)
Me too
Rae Marie I had to see it for my self oh lord it’s terrible for my eyes.
#twinning
“...animation looks creepy...”
Wow, what a hilarious joke!
This brings back memories for me and the animation on this is so nostalgic and fascinating to me I remember my grandma would always babysit me when I was little and I would watch Christian VHS tapes all the time because my grandma wanted me to grow up knowing God and having Christian values and morals and I am so grateful for being raised that way and even though as I grew up I made mistakes and gave into temptations and sinned I know that God forgives me of my sins and I want to try to obey him and honor him with my life.
The frogs actually look somewhat cute
NO
No
Yes, they look more realistic.
even though the animation, characters and story sucks, I have to admit, the voices of the main frog and that thing at 3:22 are amazingly deep. probably because theyre played by George Younce and JD Sumner.
I understand why people are appalled by this but I can't help but love it. There is a charm to how crude the animation and models look.
Despite the creepy and a bit realistic animation I love it and I forgive the people, who made it, beacuse in the 90's technology was something limited and rare. I love the music, especially the opening and the brown birds.
I came here for Cornfield 4. Starting at the 16 min mark.
me too its just the best part
16:13 despite the animation, these guys and the song ain't half bad.
As someone who remembers a few Gaither songs from their childhood and has never seen this... oh my gosh this scares me 🤣🤣🤣
SaberSpark brought us here
24:04: "And, well, you saved me again, which is a good thing, 'cause no telling what would have happened to me. I could've ended up on someone's plate.

Craig Robinson: SHUT THE F*** UP!!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHUT THE F*** MEANS??!!! 😡😡😡😡
That was the opening part of sabersparks review of this episode 😂😂😂😂
Song is good everything 😔
I love the animation for some reason
This make Pixar's Finding Nemo and A Bug's Life look like a PS1 game
I'm going to make hentai art of that green thing.
Samurai JackOff which green thing, there’s like a billion of them 🤣
@@natnerdz Exactly! The more the hornier
PLZ. DON'T. IT'S. ALREADY. CURSED. ENOUGH. AS. IT. IS.
@@scottyp884
I wont, I'd kill my younger self.
I subscribed just for the fact you had this. Thank you.
Every single frame looks like the animation is on the brink of collapse and about to glitch out uncontrollably, so I'm impressed this is even watchable in the slightest
I remember watching this in kindergarten... It gave me nightmares
You mean like a Sunday School?
Now I see why Sabersparks didn't review this episode......HE WANTED TO SAVE US!
well actually I found it on a streaming site but is full of popups and bugs, but they had the other Gaither's, didn't check it though but thanks for uploading this here.
Rexus what was that site?
I tried check it on my history but couldn't find it, I recall it was a streaming site for pretty much any sort of videos from the 80's and 90's, but yeah couldn't find it, beside I think was this one, didn't check it back then cause the Thumnail looked ugly.
He's gonna review it.
I’m from the future to tell you Saberspark did make a video on this
all the animals look weird in this one. but the other ones are improved
Nothing here is improved. It now looks like a movie made to play on a n64
I like the theme song
The worst one the lure Depths. The best one The legend of Gaither’s pond
I agree
If we're comparing dog turds than yes I'd say the other one wasn't so....fresh
Outlast the songs are the only good part of it
7:27
Am I the only one who hears the woah meme?
I LOVE THESE!
The songs are actually good!
3:24 the thing i see hovering over my bed when i have my sleep paralysis episodes
Major nostalgia for me
AWESOME!
I don't know which episode is worse. You don't see THESE designs having human faces.
i 100% i could recreate all of these characters from this episode in blender
This video gave me nightmares for like.. 5 years at least😂
3:03 Imagine that becoming a meme
A meme from Saberspark's channel
They all look possessed.
Rainbow Brush I agree they will be haunting my dreams for a while.
They ARE possessed.
If you were by the age of 16 you'll never get fear of this
Viacom, WB, and Disney CANNOT compete with this
16:15 I know for a fact if I saw this when I was a kid I’d be TERRIFIED WTF
Ugh the red blue birds faces almost covers the whole intire screen but the biggest birds
face covers the whole intire screen 😐
We're in the lure depths alright
*THE LURE DEPTHS OF HELL!!!* 😭😭😭😭😭😫😫😫😫😫😨😨😨😨😨😫😫😫😫😫🔫🔫🔫🔫💥💥💥💥💥💥 💀💀💀💀💀💀⚰⚰⚰⚰
Me in heaven:😇😇😇😇😇😇👼👼👼👼👼
L9l8888
why would you put such good music with this visuals? even in 1997
Well, get ready for Friday folks
Someone please add this to Letterboxd so the Gaither's Pong Cinematic Universe can be completed
16:35 start of fever dream
17:33 best part
also 17:35 & 17:48
PREACH IT BOIS
I had started thinking I’d never really seen this... but here it is... the animation is even worse then I remembered
Best anima
Just came here from Saberspark.
The animation sucks, but it's got a good message.
Those birds are literally the size of people.
17:01 literal hell
Why is a sea turtle in a FRESHwater pond?
Thanks. How is this worse animation than Dorbees?
@@vault380 Yeah, I'll give him credit for the fact that this IS their 1st animation ever really.
d...d-DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!
We're cursed with this now. Oh no.
21:54 *WHAT IS THAT!*
A temptress.
RAP MASTERS RIGHT HERE!
This looks like it was made in roblox...
Anyone else from *saberspark*
If I told animation sins to review this...
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 sins
17:06
I ain't religious
but none think the songs are kinda catchy and good?
Timberwolf Same I know!
The songs are from the Gaither Homecoming specials, and the "Cornfield 4" are voiced by the Fairview 4, a legendary Gospel quartet. It's good music and great singing even if you're not religious.
3:25
Satan in Christian movie
They should've stuck to music
16:13
Bullfrog rants a lot
16:58 Literally the most horrible animation I have EVER witnessed in my life.
The only good thing is the music
Nightmare fuel
11:37 Don't Touch
Seriously? Who thought this was okay to put out?
That’s cute!
Cute? more like creepy.
subtitle version...?
24:08
alright.
Oh. My. God. This is SO MUCH worse than the other three. "But StarGazer! This came out in 1997! Cut them some slack!" Well, the show Reboot! came out in 1994, and it looks superior to this! I never thought I would say that.

SinngingS good
3:01 Conversation 101
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!
This...This animation is the worst...
The Devil has come.
first!!!!
and... t-thank you????
i dont know what to say.... i really dont....
They had a $950 animation budget Because live bait isn't rich at all
That's why the animation is so bad
The later ones are better!
Good grief. I'm sorry for criticizing the later episodes animation
The 1997 is so funny the animals are Basic shape it pretty funny to say
Funny valintine duck funny valintine Duck
