"If you put a gun to my head and said, 'You have to come up with a story for Happy Feet Three,' I’d say shoot me."
-George Miller
That is literally because Goerge Miller also said that he had no ideas for Happy Feet Three in the same interview.
I'd think for a while an then eventually give up
@@zebrathedebra-us4cn Probably, especially because Robin Williams unfortunately died. R.I.P Robin Williams. :'(
And then Happy Feet Three is about some guy shooting George Miller in the head.
Most badass quote in director interview history
For some reason, I once had a dream where this guy ranked every movie with a Linkin Park song in it.
Miami Vice let's goooo
What was the best one?
For curiosity's sake, how many movies have Linkin Park songs?
ThomasThePlankEngine
This might not be related but Chester Bennington was in one of the Saw movies as a racist guy
Happy Feet Two choosing “Under Pressure” over “Ice Ice Baby” is a very inspired choice
i mean im not happy about it because its one of my favorite songs being used in fucking happy feet 2 (what a phrase) but using under pressure was the only hope that movie had of having an emotional moment
@@raeste.claire7093 I’m just pickin’ out a diamond in a really rough rough here
Imagine if they did a mashup of both in the movie like one of the penguins started rapping Vanilla Ice that would be kinda cool under it all
Real. They got a great vocalist to fill in Brittany Murphies Shoes too (Pink) and she absolutely killed it. Along with Bridge of Light
I would’ve cringed if they picked that instead😂
The reason Mad Max was as normal as it was is because it wasn’t originally intended to be a post apocalyptic setting, the movie was made on an insanely short budget and was intended to just be a modern (for the time) contemporary movie, inspired by the petrol shortage the country suffered some years before. Max would witness insane things and crazy people and things that would desensitize him until, well he goes mad. The shoestring budget the movie was made on is why it looks the way it does, cracked roads and crumbling infrastructure, abandoned buildings these were the only places they could afford to film, infact some scenes were rushed through because they were filming in places they didn’t ask for permission to and had to rush through the filming so the cops didn’t catch them, only for eventually the cops to see what they were doing, and actually helped them out by closing some roads for short amounts of time to film things like the truck crash.
So it was later retconned that Mad Max takes place before the collapse of society, only just before, and Mad Max 2 takes place some years after it collapsed. And nukes went off inbetween the events of Mad Max 2 and Beyond Thunderdome
I prefer it this way! now all 4 films show the world falling apart further and further
from gangs to fuel shortage to a nuclear war
I had interpreted the world of Mad Max 1 as being under imminent threat of nuclear war combined with a resource shortage, so people's lives and infrastructure began to fall apart. Very neat how an unintentional side effect of the original movie's budget became a core part of its aesthetic going forward. Even the "normal, functioning" businesses Schaffrillas mentioned are worn down and old, especially to me as a modern viewer looking at buildings that were all but abandoned nearly 50 years ago. It almost makes everything look even older and more stagnated since to me the movie's time period isn't necessarily tied to when it was made in part because of those abandoned buildings. I really like Mad Max 1 honestly and I'm surprised I enjoyed it so much in spite of being introduced with Fury Road.
Schaffrillas stoping the disappointment in the game of life jingle is one of the most shocking plot twist in cinema
It began in 2019, the worst year in existence
@@3dsfan2002why?

George Miller is the dictionary definition of jack of all trades, cause going from the Road warrior to freaking happy feet is task only he could manage.
Add Babe: Pig In A City
@@Leahcimmichaelthe magnum opus of pig films
He’s built different
Haha Guillermo del Toro would like to have a word
it shows he has range
Bill and Will the Krill in the thumbnail are astounding
yes.
This video will get a krillion views
Bill will krill. Hey that rhymes.
Thats because they are one in a Krillion.
It's Krillin time
I love that nearly a third of this video is taken up by both Happy Feet films.
As a Happy Feet fan who finds enjoyment out of his hatred for the franchise, I am kinda amused by this.
It’s why he’s Oscar winner
So you’re saying… what we really need is a crossover between Mad Max and Happy Feet set in a post apocalyptic Antarctica where Max and the other humans are pitted against murderous singing penguins wielding blades and shotguns, and everyone drives spiky tricked-out snowmobiles, boats, and dogsleds instead of cars and they’re fighting over oil and fish.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
Yup, you're hired.
There will be two:
Happy Max and Mad Feet.
That sounds like a robot Chicken sketch in every way possible
Now that is Happy Feet 3
The best part about Babe: Pig in the City was that everything that was just described was only just the G-rated cut. There apparently exists a bunch of footage for the film that was cut for not being family-friendly enough.
as someone who was tramuatized by the clown death and police invasion scene this fact scares me immensely
im being hyperbolic, but i have never heard Non, je ne Regrette rien without being immediately reminded of death and destruction and clowns
#releasethenonfamilyfriendlycut
It's also G-Man's favorite movie
Im half convinced they were planning to kill off the dog in the wheel chair in the original cute. That scene where he gets "knocked out" and his wheel slowly stops and and then hes in a grassy heavenly plain without his wheel. I thought he actually died in that scene what the fu
Imagine writing one of the best covers in any animated movie, and it's for Happy Feet 2.
I still listen to the cover of Boogie Wonderland occasionally. Puts me in such a great mood!
@@freakfoxvevo7915 do u think song writing is just lyrics….
@@freakfoxvevo7915 ...Composition is still writing, mate. Refitting, rearranging, and reworking the lyrics to fit the new instrumentation also still takes time and effort.

As someone who enjoyed Happy Feet as a child, I’m not ready for “Why Happy Feet is a Cinematic Disaster” 😭
Honestly I don't really get why he hates it so much. I've rewatched it as an adult and while it certainly isn't up there with the greats, it's still perfectly fine to watch and isn't a travesty on the level of Cars 2. Though I will agree with him on Happy Feet 2 which I can hardly even remember.
@@spongemaster Good news, the Nostalgia Citric is a little nicer to the film than Schaff is. While still having some fair complains.
Even though I love Happy Feet, I strangely find James’s burning hatred of it to be mildly entertaining for some reason.
After watching both of his reviews on both movies realized that the movie 'happy feet' in my mind consists of happy feet one second first sticked to happy feet two second half. I thought all of that were in the same movie except I don't remember shit about the end of the first one and the beginning of the second one. That was a weird discovery.
One thing we need to give the guy credit for: He's very versatile in his filmography. He will do a movie about an apocalypitc road movie with gang wars and violence and then do a weirdly sexual animated movie about dancing penguins and gay krills
Robert Rodriguez is probably his versatility rival. From a movie about two criminal brothers who kidnap a family to sneak into the US/Mexico border and come across a club of vampires to another about a kid's imaginary friends of a sharkboy and lavagirl.
I think Happy Feet spoke to me because it feels like an autism allegory. Mumble is taught that there is only one way he's allowed to express himself and is punished for stimming which is seen as deviant behaviour; he later learns how to perform in a socially acceptable way, but has no real connection to what he's doing and it is tangibly forced. I'm not saying the movie is GOOD, but you're right that it did something no other kids' movies really did and that's why I still have a soft spot for it
Okay but why does this make perfect sense as a fellow autistic person
Glad to see someone mention this. Happy Feet is my personal autism representation in film. Growing up with autism, I deeply related with Mumble’s happy feet (stimming) and his struggle of fitting in. Little things like his egg being dropped and hatching late, but then Mumble telling his Pa that he’s “completely fine” and refusing to change who he is, really helped me accept my disability and who I am. Mumble being so determined to help his community despite being outcasted and successfully getting back the fish by just being himself also spoke to me. It’s like the film’s message to me was despite my disability, I could still contribute and give so much to this world.
Whether Mumble being an allegory for autism/developmental disabilities was intentional or not, it definitely helped me get through a very confusing and difficult childhood. It gave me courage to be myself and helped me be proud of who I am.
Good 4 u 👍
As someone with autism, I don’t personally see that but I’m happy you do
Wreck it Ralph is my personal autism allegory. Like, think about it, Ralph don't want to change what he is, but he tried to do so because socitety wanted him to be something else. Autists (a least The ones I know including myself) don't want to not be autist by its own, but society, even if not explicitaly, want someone "normal" and wanted it or not, we want to be accept in some place, even if just our family, that's why WIR works so well to me. Ralph Learn that he didn't need to change himslef, but change the person he want to be with, the people that love he for what he is.
"Not me, Bill. There's only one of me in all the world. I am one in a krillion," -Will, Happy Feet 2 (2011)
35:49 You can’t tell me that this picture of George Miller holding Babe is not one of the most wholesome pictures you’ll ever see.
He looks so devious
I love how we can all agree, the climax to Happy Feet Two is inexplicably fucking amazing
Thank you for recognizing the slept on masterpiece that is Babe: Pig in the City. It's endlessly entertaining, so bonkers and diverse from start to finish, kind of like George Miller's filmography as a whole.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
"A murderous shadow lies hard across my soul." How is there a line that goes that hard in this movie?

Lorenzo’s Oil was a tough film to watch. I loved it but the mature subject matter made it heartbreaking. The ending gets me every time for me.
Thank you for this comment dude!!
Good Penguin movies: Surfs Up.
Bad Penguin movies: Happy Feet, Happy Feet 2, Surfs Up 2.
From this we can conclude that if a movie centres around Penguins, it has a 75% chance of being bad.
You forgot about Penguins of Madagascar.
What about Penguins of Madagascar and March of the Penguins? Perhaps this calls for a new ranking video.
And scamper the penguin, and penguin and the pebble
Penguins of Madagascar is only ok in his eyes (and mine too tbh).
Idk about that Scamper movie the other guy mentioned, and that pebble one I heard was mid, at least from word of mouth. Idk about it personally.
I love how Tony Soprano is randomly in the thumbnail 😂
If you look closely in other thumbnails of ranking videos, you'll see Tony Soprano in them. Like the Smiling Friends episode ranking.
I had no idea the Mad Max movies were actually about some guy named Max this feels like if Mojang said the protagonist is officially named Steve Minecraft.
Did you think it was just like...a pun or something?
@@rattyeelyMaybe like "crazy to the maximum" but in a short way 🧐 idk
Or frisk undertale
@billyfurman4888 or John yakuza
Again the first Mad Max is just the normal life of Australians in the 1970s
I never understood the hype with Happy Feet, Surfs Up was always the better penguin movie. It actually sticks to its original plot
Unrelated to George Miller but it's fascinating how Happy Feet and Surfs Up weren't the only pieces of penguin related media to come out around the same time. There was also March Of The Penguins and, if we're counting online games, Club Penguin.
And yet, the disgrace that is Surfs Up 2 is somehow even worse than Happy Feet 2.
@@GrumpyLoco6_March of the Penguins_ kicked off that trend.
@@NickAndriadze IKR, Surf's Up is the better penguin movie yet with a worse sequel
Personally, I prefer the Madagascar movies over those Penguin movies, because the Penguins are awesome.
Babe and Pig in the City still have the best talking animal effect. No other movie has topped it. The "live action" Lion King cost like $200 million to make and the talking animals in it look soulless and emotionless compared to Babe.
I found it unique that the Mad Max films were hardly about Max himself. The first film was more about establishing the setting that teertered on apocalypse, then the next three were more about other characters that developed and grew while Max himself is a stagnant guy who just comes in, helps people then leaves.
Furiosa having those paragliding riders on motorcycles, and then the war rig having a gigantic drill with spinning maces and a grappling hook explicitly designed just to counteract the paragliders by pulling them into a death tornado fan was... hands down, the coolest shit I have ever seen in a movie theatre in decades. My friend and I yelled "OH SHIT" and stared at each other for a good 30 seconds like, fuck, this shit has SAUCE
You cant hide from Megamind Season 2 Forever...

Shhh…. Let him keep his sanity for as long as he can.
Not until he reviews The Nine Realms first.

"None could make me spare a crumb of praise towards the happy feet movies"
*Proceeds to praise the happy feet movies' songs and climax*
As someone who has rewatched happy feet as an adult, I guess I can comment my two cents lmao. Personally, I still love Happy Feet as an adult. I think it holds up in a lot of aspects, especially the animation. I mean holy shit, it still looks stunning in 2024. The songs are still bops, even if it’s a jukebox musical. But I think it’s valid to not like it as an adult bc let’s be honest, Happy Feet is a WEIRD movie. It starts out weird and only gets weirder as it goes. Personally, that’s exactly why I loved it and still love it. But I’ll admit, the plot becomes a bit of a wild goose chase about halfway in. I can totally see how story-wise it could fall flat for some ppl on an adulthood rewatch. So basically even tho I strongly disagree, I do think ur still valid Schaf
"If you show your kids 'Wizards,' you should be put on a list" made me snortle. I'm sure someone, somewhere has made that hilarious, terrible mistake.
I mean, plenty of people out there aren't great at parenting. It's a remarkably common thing for parents to take their kids to a movie solely because it's animated.
I plan to show it to my future children when their around 8, don’t judge!
@@Damon_Blue , I have attended screenings for exactly those types of movies with kiddos present in the audience!
If you show your kids 9, they’ll probably be scarred for a while. If you show your kids Ted or Sausage Party, I don’t know what to say man, there’s clearly something wrong.
@@joshuaW5621 , yeah, the main issue with 9 is that it's going to be intense, scary, and hard-to-follow for younger kids, but I don't think it's inappropriate otherwise. I think it'd be fine to show 9 to a 9-or-10-year-old at minimum.
The main issue with Ted or Sausage party is that they'll be inclined to imitate the characters' remarks or behavior, and will likely interpret the parts they don't understand in wild, weird, and potentially-unhealthy ways. I can also imagine a certain type of kid developing weird hang-ups, fixations, or fears after watching Sausage Party.
Wizards has violence, sex, profanity, un-PC humor, intense scenes, and Nazism! It's also sometimes hard to follow even if you're an adult! I think a lot of kids would mainly just be bored and confused by it, but they might find the violence scary, might try to imitate some of the fight scenes, and might take away unhealthy or weird messages from it.

Fury Road is not "CRAZY" to get why Joe has a mask and the wacky stuff
Is just a lovely day in Australia, that explains all ALL
As a fellow Australian, I too can confirm that any of the “crazy” stuff is just a regular Tuesday
Plot Twist: the Mad Max films did not take place in a post apocalypse world, that's just Australia.
@@haihai9022as a fellow Aussie myself your speaking facts fr
Fun fact--George Miller is a trained doctor who worked in an ER to help fund Mad Max. I think that explains his interest in making Lorenzo's Oil, even as it's a critique of the medical orthodoxy that often works too slowly to save those suffering now or is horribly underfunded when there aren't enough victims (cancer and AIDS get the headlines and so get the most donations and grants). I think Lorenzo's Oil, along with Rain Man, subconsciously pushed me into my career working with the people with mental and physical disabilities.
The Road Warrior is still my favorite Mad Max film, as it's weirdly the most subtle--there's very little dialogue about the themes of the movie, it's mostly shown. Fury Road talks just a little too much ("then who killed the world?" is just too on the nose), which makes it feel less desperate and alien than Road Warrior (and I'm sorry, as much as I love to hate Immortan Joe, Lord Humungus rules the wasteland (he also wore the hockey mask before Jason)). Outside of the collective dream of making it to the coast (which more than likely doesn't even exist anymore), the only sliver of good is a mere trinket, a music box mechanism that plays Happy Birthday. Max himself barely seems to recognize it, but he clings to it until giving it to the feral boy later in the film. That moment makes the film for me--it's the Lost Boys half of Beyond Thunderdome distilled into a single gesture rather than being overwritten
56:02 The best lore explanation I can give is that it takes place in Australia.
You wanna know about it a better animated dancing penguin?
The one and only Pablo from the Backyardigans. And despite the 3D animation not aging the best, the Backyardigans holds up MORE than happy feet.
I like them both.
I mean that and King triple D
He’s on a whole other level of thick compared to Samus, Wario, and even Solid Snake (before his bakery reduction in Ultimate). Heck, in smash, one of his taunts is the “draw me like one of your French girls” poses and is voiced by the legendary Masahiro Sakurai.

George Miller definitely has a way with making bizarre sequels that In many ways outshine the original.
Unless it's Happy Feet it seems.
And Mad Max 3 I guess...Though I've never seen any of them, so I can't speak for myself.
Also did a miller marathon for furiosa and honestly, I don’t think the happy feets hold up. Yet I can’t help but lose my shit when Will the Krill calls himself “one in a krillion”. Happy Feet two in general has a stupidly infectious energy that im incapable of hating.
What about happy feet 1? The krill save 2 for me, but can't stand 1
I never hated the happy feet movies but never really thought much of them. I like the penguins just trying to survive in the second one and krills trying to establish world domination. But that’s really it beside the song about pressure. And if ol Georgie’s worst movies ain’t that bad, u know he’s got the sauce
@@NoName-oz3gj How is 1 worse than 2????? At least 1 had great dance numbers.
@@orangeslash1667 Krill saved it. Dance Numbers in both were okay, I respect the effort put into them but didn't really enjoy either
@@NoName-oz3gj Okey, I think the dance numbers from the first was the reason Happy Feet won best feature????
*WITNESS ME!* Now I'm going to watch the "Under Pressure" scene from _Happy Feet Two._
EDIT: What the hell was that. That was incredible.
This has to be my favourite series on your channel. I love seeing a director's entire portfolio and it's flops and succeses. Keep it up, looking forward to the next one
happy feet 2s cover of under pressure is genuinely one of the greatest covers of the songs ive ever heard. the massive chorus, the gospel style choir, and the theme of different species coming together is just absolutely perfect for the scope of the song. nobody ever believes me when i tell them that the best cover of under pressure in history is from happy feet 2. but the rest of the movie is not worth sitting through to get to it LMFAO
According to rotten tomatoes;
Happy feet 1: 76%
Happy feet 2: 46%
That is too generous if you ask me.
I guess critics really like the dance numbers of the first one???
I have a theory that what the critics really read over was the early script and when they actually went to see the movie, they just gave it what they were going to give that script
57:36 whenever i see someone doing something stupid in traffic, I do the V8 hand sign and say "He'll arrive at the gates of Valhalla shiny and chromed"

It’s funny that this guy is known for both being Babe and the Happy Feet Movies while at the same time being The Mad Max guy.
I'm hoping that at some point Schaff will make one of these for Guillermo Del Toro, he's one of my top 3 favourite directors and he directed multiple of my top 10 favourite movies - Pan's Labyrinth and his Pinocchio
I was literally thinking "I don't think a George Miller ranking will happen" due to the Happy Feet films earlier today. So I was shocked to see this ranking in my notifications
We gotta see every M.Night Shyamalan movie next
are you trying to kill him
Robert Rodriguez should be next if Schaff is looking for directors with eclectic filmographies.
That should be NC's favorite movie ranking-he finds his movies fun (for both right and wrong reasons)
Can’t wait where the Last Airbender goes
Not only did they race swap half the characters, but they cut important details and made the main character a whiny brat
@@UltimateDespairado8 seconds in and I was already raging at the cheesy dialogue...and I have never seen Avatar. So imagine what he, a die hard fan of that show would feel.
Omg the Somerton shade on the Eastwick intro killed me! Well done Schaff!
Not even joking, I was so obsessed with Happy Feet as a kid, I started tap lessons. While this movie is *not good*, at least it got me to try tap dancing 😂
You still do it?
@@HaydrogenBomb unfortunately no 😂 I dance a bunch of other styles but tap ended up not being for me
My biology class in high school watched Lorenzo's Oil the week before spring break. In retrospect, it was a remarkably grim movie to show a group of high schoolers, but it stuck with me for awhile and made me a lot more appreciative of my own health and the health of my family because it was simply tragic to watch. It's also the reason I still remember the fatty sheath around nerve cells is called myelin.
George Miller described the Doof Warrior as the Max Mad universe equivalent of the flute players during Napoleonic wars, the guy playing music to motivate the troops, but no one would hear a flute in Joe's car armada so they have a flame guitar player
Happy Feet is a film that hits very different as an adult.
I'd love it if Schaffrillas did a Nickelodeon Movies ranking at some point. It'd be interesting to hear his thoughts on a good chunk of those movies.
SpongeBob is #1
I feel like Rango would win on that one. The rest of them are basically meme fodder or pilots for better shows besides SpongeBob 1.
I’d honestly be surprised if jimmy neutron: boy genius doesn’t make the top 10.
Heck why not do a Warner Bros animation as well
For the top, it would either be Lego Movie or the Iron Giant
For the bottom, it would either be Space Jam 2 or the stupid crossover between Scooby Doo and Blue Falcon (seriously, who thought it was a good idea?)
@@weirdguy1495don't forget The Adventures of Tintin (2011), TMNT: Mutant Mayhem and Rise of the TMNT: The Movie.

I’m just gonna say this, the most memorable part of the first Happy Feet that made me appreciate the movie a lot more that not a lot of people talk about is Steve Irwin’s involvement, yes THE Crocodile Hunter himself was in this movie albeit he was only in the movie a couple of seconds playing as one of the elephant seals. Steve actually wanted to be apart of the movie when he heard about George Miller making a movie about penguins especially since he was very passionate about the movie’s message and originally he was supposed to voice an albatross character in a deleted scene that ultimately never made the cut when Mumble encounters a blue whale while finding the “aliens” who stole the fish but they decided to make Steve voice an elephant seal instead. After Steve’s passing in 2006, a few months before the movie came out, George Miller and his team decided to go back to that deleted scene and fully animate it as a tribute to Steve Irwin and his love and appreciation for nature and the wildlife which can be seen on the dvd release of the movie as well as being uploaded into TH-cam. I watched that deleted scene myself and it’s absolutely beautiful and an amazing tribute to the legend himself and I actually wished this was in the movie, would be pretty cool to see Steve voice two characters like Robin Williams did.
Omg Shaf does a George Miller ranking video, what a time to be alive
The only thing keeping me alive is the reaction I get from people when I tell them the guy who made Mad Max also made Babe
Whenever I hear “disappointment in the game of life”, it always brightens my day.
It's become catchy.
In James' Spielberg video, when talking about War of the Worlds (2005), he said, "You ever just watch a movie where you're like, 'wow, this is amazing! Why is it considered divisive among critics and the general public?' Then you get to the third act and you're like, 'oh ok that checks out.'"
For me Beyond Thunderdome is that, I really loved the first half in Bartertown. The production design was astounding, I loved the worldbuilding and enjoyed the thunderdome fight sequence (even if James didn't). I actually wasn't aware of the movie's reception prior to watching it, and was genuinely convinced it would be my favorite of the series (note that I was going in chronological order and hadn't watched Fury Road yet)... Then the second half happened. I didn't hate it, but definitely felt underwhelmed after how sucked into the film's early parts I got. I haven't read up much about the production history of the films (I did notice that there's a co-director named George Ogilvie listed alongside George Miller), so I can't confirm per se what his intention with this tribe was, but given the long gap between Thunderdome and Fury Road, there was part of me that was maybe willing to let the more lighthearted elements of the narrative slide, as perhaps Miller wanted this installment to end on a more optimistic note, compared to the prior installments. That's probably not likely as Wikipedia states Miller had wanted to make Fury Road as far back as '87, but it's my best assumption given how tonally different the latter half of the movie is from the rest of the series. I personally thought it was somewhere between a 7 and an 8 (I rated it 4 stars on Letterboxd largely due to my said enjoyment of my first half), but I can't say I'm shocked why people find it to be a disappointment in comparison.
14:10 somebody has clearly never seen Foodfight! (2012)... I envy this person.
Sadly I’ve heard of it.
It’s basically like the Emoji movie but with worse animation right?
Lucky guy.
Fun fact: When it came to filming Mad Max 2, they shot the film in sequence, instead of out of order like other films in the industry.

@@SR.PlayAlot64 Yes! Thank you!
Thank you! I always wonder about the music selections in these videos!
It’s amazing how George Miller has directed an entire Mad Max franchise (including the recent one)!! Speaking of Miller, why not rank the Lord Miller movies (now referring to Phil Lord and Chris Miller)? By this ranking, i’m talking about every single flim they’ve been involved in, not only the ones they directed (cause that’ll be four in that case, it would be a short raking video)!! That’ll be a cool ranking to do!! Also, I wonder what Schafrillas thinks Micheal Bay and what he thinks towards ranking the Bay movies (a big Transformers ranking for him as he would have to watch five of them for the ranking)!!
The fact that George Miller directed both Happy Feet, Babe, and Mad Max is pretty insane. Excited to check this review out!
Yeah , me neither ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, Coppola directed both The Godfather and Jack (a Robin Williams comedy movie about a 10 year old child that because of a disease he looks 40). I wish I was kidding.
I’m looking at Animal Logic’s Wikipedia page, the creator of Cartoon Network City (which turned 20 a week ago) and George Miller worked with them on the Babe and Happy Feet movies!
Imagine watching object shows that will never be me
@@ronaldeliascorderocalles wait really? Man you can’t really predict the directors of some movies huh.
Schaff: "Ah, my old enemy...Happy Feet".
Whos George miller
Because Happy Feet is a sci-fi horror movie
Honestly happy feet 1 is pretty good when it has nothing to do with the other penguins
Is it weird that as an average Happy Feet enjoyer I find his burning hatred hilarious?
@@joshuaW5621HOW
DO
YOU
DOOO
FELLOW
KEEDS?!!!! - Schaffrillas asked calmly
Hearing you say that the only other Chris Hemsworth movie that you've seen is Thor means you've never watched him in Cabin in the Woods! You should do yourself a favor and correct that mistake immediately. If you like Babe Pig in the City for its insane plot that still draws you in, Cabin in the Woods will blow your mind. Just don't look up anything about it before you watch it, you'll want to go in totally unspoiled.
Video suggestion: ranking every movie on Wikipedia’s “movies commonly considered the worst” from best to worst
That could be really interesting
SEX LIVES OF THE POTATO MEN
Foodfight toppin' the bottom slot, baby!
He gave Manos a 2/10 on Letterboxd, meaning he liked some parts of it. (Torgo)
Every entry starts with disappointment in the game of life
@@Scott...unless it's a West Anderson film
The Happy Feet Slander is so funny and I'm honestly proud of this.
He should be the crab and crush those penguins
Happy Feet makes Penguins of Madagascar (both the Nickelodeon show and the theatrical movie) look like masterpieces in comparison, despite its flaws.
Throw in cars 1 as well, that movie was my childhood
Penguins of Madagascar is a masterpiece
@@ChickenNuggetManCNMI’m saying that the movie is pretty divisive for most people, but compared to happy feet, it’s STILL a masterpiece
@@maxmeidl4909He could be referring to the show, that's the one I see nothing but praise for.
Also the other comment is right, Cars 1 isn't that good, but it is stronger than Happy Feet overall.
@@zrexy79s11cars 1 a masterpiece
5:54 why is peppa NOT wearing any winter clothes but her sheep friend is? Realistically speaking, peppa should be freezing.
IDK 🤷♂️. It’s a Cartoon for little kids to make them into the British. Keyword is Cartoon. Search up Cartoon Logic, you’ll understand.

George Miller being Greek is the least surprising thing ever. Do you know how many Greeks there are in Australia Schaff? So, so many...
Genuinely I have no idea why the Pressure scene from Happy feet 2 is so good, like damn I love the cover they do for it and the build up to it
Didn't expect to Schafrillas to interrupt the "dissapointment in the game of life"
The cover of Under Pressure in Happy Feet Two is the only thing about it I remembered about it from childhood for a long time so the fact that the scene is the best out of the whole movie makes so much sense
I remember that even when I was a kid I used to watch Happy Feet 2 only for the Under pressure scene, nothing else
Schaff stopping Disappointment In The Game of Life was NOT in my 2024 Bingo Card-
Even though I love Fury road more I appreciated that Furiosa was a lot more brutal. There was barely any blood in Fury Road while Furiosa had people drawn and quartered and cut off limbs.
I really hope we get another Mad Max film from the wonderful George Miller despite how Furiosa performed at the box office.
I think I've read that the studio (I forgot which one) executives wanted Fury Road to be PG-13, and when they asked George Miller why he didn't make a PG-13 movie, he said he thought he did. That explains the absence of blood.
Genuinely the under pressure scene is all I remember from this movie I watched many years ago. And the whole your saying how bad the movie was I was like "no way that scene wasn't good though right?" Honestly so happy my younger self wasn't THAT wrong
If Schaffrillas did a video on every M. Night Shyamalan movie. It would be the chaotic thing on this channel. 🤣🤣
I remember watching Lorenzo’s Oil in my High School Anatomy class and let me tell you, there wasn’t a dry eye in that class. It’s such an underrated film with a touching story of a family doing whatever it takes to help their son 😭
Love these videos! These always give me a plethora of films to check out. If you're looking for other directors to rank, I would recommend Don Bluth. It would be interesting to see your thoughts on his 10 animated films (11 if you count his one direct to video sequel and 15 if you count shorts) and the sort of Icarus story he has with his career. Guy started at Disney, left, wanted to rival them, ended up doing it for a bit before ultimately losing out once the Disney Renaissance kicked off.
There's this play, Vino Veritas by David MacGregor, in which there is an extended section where multiple characters gush about Babe: Pig in the City and how its their favorite movie, so I'm glad to hear their love of it had merit
I got George Miller confused with George Romero so you can imagine my confusion when I saw Happy Feet in the thumbnail
I am so ready for Schaff to rip the feathers off this penguin 😂
i’m very surprised he didn’t mention the best line in happy feet, “i’m one in a krillion”
Because it’s a soulless line, duh
I really love these director filmography rankings. These four have been so interesting, seeing the range of these filmakers. PLEASE keep making them. I know you probably have other directors you would rather look at first, but try a director from the black-and-white era like Orson Welles.
Great video, love George Miller and I love hearing you opinions of his movies (I do love Thunderdome though), I’m curious to see if you could do a Robert Zemeckis movie, especially since his new movie Here is coming out later this year
