At 20:29, I know the source for that. The cactus character was not exactly a traced character, but the dancing animation comes from Lackadaisy, specifically the "Jazz Cat Dance."
It was probably made as a cactus to avoid copyright, but the animation it comes from came out TWO YEARS AGO
I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THE SAME THING. Yeah it's absolutely from Lackadaisy, irked me immediately haha
D=
Yeah, he didn’t care if any of the cartoons were public domain, as long as they are animated what-so-ever, then EVERYTHING IS FAIR GAME!
Bruh I thought it was just a shitty redo of the actual damn Charleston
This isn't (entirely) true. While the animation was likely traced or referenced from Lackadaisy, the Charleston was an actual dance from the 1920s. Hence the name of the boss being 'The Charleston'. Since Lackadaisy doesn't own the dance, it is likely not illegal, especially since Lackadaisy is in the public domain anyways. Lackadaisy was never even registered for copyright in the first place. Cuphead actually did a similar thing with Cagney Carnation, who did this dance: 17:24
The fact that "Cuphead clone" is becoming a normalized term is actually going to give me a stroke
Bames nond is having a stronk, call a bondulance
Why
FNAF fans: th-cam.com/video/Qu_sVAByvBk/w-d-xo.html
Imagine someone trying to capitalize off of that term by calling their parody knockoff game “Cuphead Clone” - there’d be an explosion of Cuphead Clone clones.
@@geoffreyrichards6079while fnaf fangame didn't call as clone cuz people know the fangame are inspired by fnaf
29:18 The Santa is a retrace of another Betty Boop cartoon, from the 40s titled “Be Human”. The Santa is actually Betty’s neighbor in that short, a farmer who becomes the villain due to his constant abuse of the animals in his “care”. The devs just retraced him to look like Santa.
Looks like the walk animation from the gigachad cartoon
@@saladefraiche3115 The farmer from the cartoon actually walks like that. It’s on YT, see for yourself lol
And his whipping animation appears to be traced from the Evil Wizzer from the Popeye cartoon “Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp”.
@@geoffreyrichards6079 Actually, that’s also from the “Be Human” cartoon. One example of the farmer’s abuse- and the most prominent- is how he’s introduced, whipping a dog that’s tied to a stake so it can’t run away. It’s a pretty messed-up short on the whole, made weird by Betty trying to “reason with him” by singing the title song as he continues to abuse his livestock.
@@saladefraiche3115 definitely a dr livesey walk moment
This game REALLY did their homework, and by homework I mean copied every student in the class' homework to create this amalgamation of quite the...rubberhose rampage, you could say.
And still get a failing grade because the material it was copied was the wrong subject, doodles, and wrong answers
As a classic animation nerd, it's kind of incredible how I actually recognize most of these stolen animations lmfao. "Pigs in a Polka" and "Swing You Sinners" are some of my favorites. Also, sadly, I do not know what the cactus is from
I figured out that the cactus lady is actually a TRACED animation loop from Lackadaisy a independent animation studio trying to make a new animated series about cats in the early 20s of New Orleans

@@nowhereman361The dance itself is the first steps to the Charleston Dance, but my god it’s so obvious it’s traced DIRECTLY from Lackadaisy, and I’m in awe at how Uhyeah doesn’t know this
@@brawler5760 I don't understand how someone like this guy could trace everything and pretend that it's completely fine. At least try to draw something unique 👀
@@brawler5760 Also yeah I agree that it's a bit odd he hasn't seen the pilot out of all people. I mean it appeared in my own recommended a lot of times.
@@nowhereman361 Okay so that's 100% not legal if that's true. It's literally a cartoon from THIS DECADE
For the cactus’ animation, it looks like the dance the girl character does from promotional material for the show “Lackadaisy”. In which case is VERY ILLEGAL considering how recent that is compared to everything else. Could be wrong, though, so feel free to take what I said with a grain of salt.
Edit: rewatched the video I’m referencing about for it, and I’m 100% sure that it’s it. And that was released 2-3 years ago now, so it’s definitely the furtherest from being public domain, with Cuphead being second.
This isn't (entirely) true. While the exact animation was likely traced from Lackadaisy, the Charleston was an actual dance from the 1920s. Hence the name of the boss being 'The Charleston'. Since Lackadaisy doesn't own the dance, it is likely not illegal, especially since Lackadaisy is in the public domain anyways. Lackadaisy was never even registered for copyright in the first place, so it's fair game. Cuphead actually did a similar thing with Cagney Carnation, who did this dance: 17:24
@@APersonMusic fun fact something doesn't need to be formally copyrighted by a copyright filing to be out of public domain. When an artist creates a work their art is immediately put under their own artistic copyright. It's one of the base rights of an artist especially when posting things online. Legally if anyone traces, replicates or redistributes their art without their permission, and can be proven (which here it completely has) they have every right to file a copyright claim despite not having a formal copyright office.
@@APersonMusic the dance may not be copyrighted, but its still a trace of the Lackadaisy animation
I don't think a dance of a few moves like that could be copyrighted looking at the case with fortnite and alfonso
@@kightofprimus Wasn't the dance pretty much outright taken out of fortnite after that whole thing? Don't think I ever saw it show up again.

So Rubber Hose Rampage is the living room 4 from FNAW 3?
Encharted portals is not a rip-off
@@Megajaybreaker4didn't expect a five nights at warios reference but ok
@@thef.animator4950 yes it is
23:26 It's worth noting that the sun in the background of this stage is ALSO a band logo. It belongs to the Grateful Dead, a jam band that was famous throughout the 70s and 80s. The log cabin and turtle in the background were likewise lifted from the cover of their 1977 album, Terrapin Station.
Yes! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to notice this! Also the name “Dancing Bear” is the name of a design used in Grateful Dead’s albums and merchandise but they did not use an actual picture of the Dancing Bear, which is pretty interesting
@@mads24254 Yup. And seeing as The String Cheese Incident is also a jam band, albeit a more recent one, I think it's safe to say that the dev is a fan of psychedelic rock.
Yes, someone else knows
@@mads24254 In fairness, the term "dancing bear" is a term that's been around in entertainment for an incredibly long time. It used to be a quite literal term, in which circus performers had tamed bears and taught them how to walk around and "dance" a bit to entertain people. In more modern terms, it's used as a term for a show that's otherwise boring or unfulfilling but has one unique and interesting thing to draw people in, making it that piece of media's "dancing bear."
@@VoicesInYourHeadphones yea but also when your entire stage has nothing just Grateful Dead stuff on it it's kinda obvious what the intent is
17:24 That is LITERALLY the EXACT same dance that Cagney Carnation does. That’s just funny.
So do Cuphead like games just love that short?
Yeah that’s…what a reference is.
@@JUMPYCOOL Cuphead itself loves that short, I suppose. Since not only does Cagney do that dance, but Cuphead also has an achievement called "Swing You Sinner" for beating the game.
@@alexworld8255 Cuphead was actually highly inspired by that short, so thats why :D
@@alexworld8255 Those aren't the only ones. Quadratus HEAVILY resembles one of the barn ghosts from that short (specifically during the part where the barn chases Bimbo). In fact, the DLC has EVEN MORE Swing You Sinners references, such as the Mortimer Freeze and Glumstone The Giant bosses.
"Hall of the mountain king" having the boss speed up while the music gets more intense is too good for a 5 dollar game on the windows store
Now I want a game with a boos fight that replicates the intensity of the 1812 overture.
Agreed.
I wanna also add on record that I'm pretty sure that that instance is a bug and not a feature, it looks like the boss was meant to have an upper cap on his speed increase, but the dev either forgot to add it or screwed up actually putting it in.
29:14 Santa’s walking animation reminds me of that one meme, where three guys are walking, and the one in the middle is buff.
i believe you mean Dr. Livesey's Walk, and i see what you mean, if you slow it down it matches pretty well.
@@doran2003 exactly! That’s who I meant.
The short the animation is taken from has nothing to do with Santa; it’s Betty Boop’s “Be Human,” where a man abuses his animals and Grampy gets called to take care of that jerk.
It was Dr. Livesey from russian andaptation of Treasure Island (and it was unironically good and memable).
That’s dr lively
Lots of people recognize Lackadaisy's Ivy Pepper's Charleston dance as copyright infringement for that cactus boss fight, but the dance "Charleston" is an actual 1923 dance style, so it's not copyright infringement, but he definitely traced Ivy's looped animation, take that as you will!
The tracing of the specific animation is what makes it infringement, not the dance itself
@@Wince_Media It is a considerably different character which believe it or not makes it kinda up for interpretations.
Also...
Isn't it ironic that this is called tracing??
Wonder what Tracy thinks about that!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@voicedjohn even if the character looks different, if the animation is traced (which it looks like it is) its still copyright infringement. You do make a funny point about the creator of Lackadaisy's name though lol
@@Wince_Media Is it really traced at that point though, if the character is substantially different then it becomes harder to argue since it is less tracing and more using as a reference.
@@Dragoonsoul7878 all the limbs are traced. It is only the head that isn't. That *is* significantly traced
I’m pretty sure the dance animation for the cactus boss fight is traced from a video on the lackadaisy TH-cam channel called “jazz cat loop dance” from two years ago where a cat does the Charleston. The timing and weight of the character seems almost identical.
Dang it, 8 minutes too slow.
Okay so that's 100% not legal if that's true. It's literally a cartoon from THIS DECADE
@@Matt_0417absolutely, and I’m glad to see other people in the comments calling it out too
well, it's NOT illegal, just a really scummy thing to do, as Lackadaisy wasn't registered for copyright in the first place, and the dance itself has it's orgins from the 1920's. Yeah, it's definitely traced, and, yeah, that's not good at all, but, no, they can't get sued over it.
@@breadboygamingwholegrain Fair point, but considering they're moving forward with making a first season (and also Lackadaisy was a webcomic before it was an animated pilot) I think it's safe to say if it isn't copyrighted, it will HAVE to be at some point
27:46 The logo on this shirt is from a band called The Misfits. The logo isn't public domain at all and is still used by the band in their branding. Just like The String Cheese Incident, the band is even going on tour this year, but UNLIKE The String Cheese Incident, the logo is definitely not a stock image. So, there's another case of something illegal.
I was wondering how he missed that one while I was watching
I cant find the logo
@@thescaryscream5963 Just search up "Misfits Band Logo" on google and you'll know what I'm talking about. The shirt is on the frankenstein lookin' ahh.
28:15
@@goodfortnightplayer4539thanks!
20:51 The animation is actually from Lackadaisy. They made a loop animation of Ivy (one of the characters) doing the Charleston for a jazz playlist. I remember in the steam trailer for Rubberhosr Rampage that the animation would even open and close its eyes EXACTLY like the animation loop it originated from. However, the eyes shutting is no longer part of the first phase and is only saved in the second and third phase.
thank goodness I wasnt the only one
Also
1. you forget to mention that during the mad scientist fight, that Frankenstein looking ass is wearing a Misfits t shirt
2. That Santa boss animation is from the Betty Boop cartoon “Be Human”
Uhyeah, the animation of the cactus dancing is from an Indie Animated show called “Lackadaisy” , it is in a short called “Lackadaisy-Jazz Dance Cat loop”
The dance the cactus is doing is called the Charleston
That Mr. Hyde cartoon is indeed public domain, Phelous reviewed it and mentioned that it was public domain.
Guess I'll get that cartoon and make my own version 😅
@@NitwitsWorldmake a Jekyll and Hyde spectacle fighter.
23:24 As I understand it, when Disney bought back the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, they only acquired the rights to the original Disney produced shorts and how the characters appeared in them. The post-Disney Oswalds are still owned by Universal, partially because they're not a part of the Disney history of the character, partially because the director who ended up taking over the series, Walter Lantz, folded the character into his series Woody Woodpecker. So, in short, that version of Pete isn't owned by Disney though it still might not be public domain.
Also, Walt didn't just leave to start his own studio. He asked for a bigger budget (and maybe even the rights to the character) during renegotiations and quit when his producer said "no you get a smaller budget die mad lmao"
Moral of the story, know your worth as a creative and destroy the career of everyone who gets in your way.
Actually, I’m pretty sure all the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit shorts entered the public domain in the 70’s because Universal didn’t renew the copyright. They were in the public domain way before Disney acquired the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit trademark (not copyright).
Disney owns the trademark to Oswald and the copyright for everything they’ve since they acquired it, but all those old shorts are public domain.
Oh and there's game lore btw.
The Lore? So uh, apparently, we have a Terminator situation in which we learn that Mickey's arch nemesis from the past is gonna cause problems in the future. So they send two agents DISGUISED as Mickey and Minnie to go take care of it.
Btw, I could be wrong, but those guns feel stolen
The guns are stock images.
Let's not forget how the Mickey and Minnie "agents" are just AI DISGUISED AS RUBBERHOSE CHARACTERS 💀💀💀
Why is it that the day I watch a lot of your videos saying can’t “wait for a new one” You release this 10 minutes later
Right?!
Sandwich amigos tacos que hora es?

@@Lucid926 18 SECONDS AGO?!
Keep saying it.
i feel like its important to recognize cab calloway, since a lot of the copied animations here were made to emulate his singing and dancing, especially the betty boop one
thats also most likely because this is a cuphead clone, and cuphead was very very heavily inspired by cab calloway ^-^
to be fair, cab calloway's influence is felt incredibly heavily in animation from this era in general, so it's a bit inescapable
The cactus is legit traced from an extremely recent indie animation called Lackidaisy
So yeah pretty sure its not public domain since Lackidaisy has basically *just* started making episodes and that particular animation is only a year or two old (i think the video its traced from is called something like jazzy cat dance)
20:45 I think thats from the lackadaisy animation of a cat doing the Charleston
I recognize it as well, 100%.

I’d like to point out that the background for “The Dancing Bear” is literally just the album cover for Terrapin Station by Grateful Dead 23:25
It seems like the creator of rubberhise rampage really likes bands, because the sun in the oswald pete fight is just the greatful dead logo
the lizard and monkey bosses also look like they're wearing random band logo t-shirts. i don't know about copyright issues but i doubt any of them agreed to sponsor this game which a whole other can of worms being opened i'm sure
Another comment pointed out the Grateful Dead logo during the bear fight, but also worth noting is the mountain in the background of the lizard fight has the logo of the band Phish plastered on it. If anything the band logos alone are some of the bigger legal issues as unless the dev can prove otherwise, I highly doubt they got permission from any of those bands to use their logos.
29:16 the Santa clause is from the Betty Boop Short
“Be Human” and it suppose to be a abusive farmer
At 29:00, it simultaneously amuses and annoys me that they kept the *animation* speed constant while speeding up the *movement,* making the boss ice skate around.
I think that there is 1 tiny detail, that does make Mickey more on the illegal side
his gloves
he didn't have those in Steamboat Willie
24:20 I heard somewhere that when Disney got Oswald back, they only regained the rights of the first 27 shorts that were,in fact, produced by Disney. The other 100+ shorts released after 1928's "Hot Dog" remained to Universal and are now slowly falling into public domain even if,frankly, Universal doesn't give a F**k.
I’m pretty sure that those shorts fell in the public domain around the 70’s. Disney acquired the trademark rights for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, but I’m pretty sure they don’t have the rights for the shorts.
For generations your name will be remembered with shame is too hard a quote for this game
20:59
I have your answer. It's a terrible (and I do mean TERRIBLE) rip of the 'LACKADAISY - Jazz Cat Dance Loop' Video. The original dance could be from something else, but this is at least the start of the chain.
i'm surprised nobody has mentioned the fact that santa's walking animation is 100% traced off the iconic Dr. Livesey Phonk Walk
Apparently, the character that Santa is designed over is a mean farmer from a Betty Boop cartoon just made to look like Santa...and that's apparently how he walked
I hate that I predicted the Molly Moo Cow one. I remember having a collection of Fleischer cartoons on DVD and that was one of them; that cow is a menace
Wasn't Molly Cow Created by Van Beuren?
@@sonicfanboy3375 i dont know, probably. If it was made in the Fleischer studio though, it wouldnt matter. not that i know if it was, just sharing my anecdote.
20:47 I'm not sure where the character is from, but I'm 100% certain the animation was traced from Lackadaisy. So, it's most likely illegal.
22:33 The head of the lion samurai boss comes from the lion seen in both the 1930 feature film "The King of Jazz", and the Oswald short "Africa" (which features some re-used animation from The King of Jazz). On the subject of the Oswald cartoon legality, I'm pretty sure it's a Doug situation, where Disney has retained ownership of the characters and franchise, however Universal still owns the cartoons and further media (up until when Disney bought back Oswald) that were made for them after Walt's 27. This includes the later shorts that drastically alter Oswald's design, and even the comics from Walter Lantz (Not yet sure how Disney owns Oswald's theme song, which debuted in the aforementioned short "Africa", from the early Lantzes). Some shorts from this later period however are in the public-domain, such as "Spooks". The animation of Pete throwing Oswald into the bank looks to be the same animation used for "The Dancing Bear" during the 2nd phase when he's throwing the lightning bolts.
29:33 Frosty's appearance in this boss fight technically does fall under infringement, as although his visual design has been modified to have coal eyes and a carrot nose, his iconic "Happy birthday" line, ripped directly from the TV special, is used whenever he runs across the screen. I do wonder if you may have investigated on any of that Santa's other animations, like his Livesey walk, or him baiting a present with a punch?
Also of worth note, some of Pete's other animations are tracked from "The Gallopin' Gaucho", another public-domain Mickey Mouse short (just the silent version though)
They get to use the Oswald theme song from "Africa" because, funnily enough, "Africa" fell into the public domain
I found the Looney Tunes wiki to be a pretty good reference source for determining what shorts are in the public domain or not. And from what I can find, you seem to be right about “Flowers for Madame” not being in the public domain. “Cross Country Detours” also doesn’t appear to be public domain either, so that’s another illegal one.
I haven’t double checked it yet, but the animation of Santa using the whip reminds me of the Evil Wizzer in the Popeye short “Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp” (which is public domain).
Think that’s interesting? A couple shorts that came out after 1943 are public domain too like D Fightin Ones, Bugsy And Mugsy, Plop Goes The Weasel, Bewitched Bunny, A Sheep In The Deep, Compressed Hare and even Depatie-Freling Era shorts like Chili Corn Corny and 90s shorts like Chariots Of Fur.
@@ReddyToAnimate Are you sure about that? Because every site and source I’ve checked says that they’re not in the public domain. I know some later shorts were often mistakenly taken to be PD back on old unofficial physical media, but they’re definitely not.
@@geoffreyrichards6079 maybe, maybe not but who knows.
The cactus dance is from an indie animation called lackadaisy and knowing how recent it is there is no way they are getting away with this
Enchanted portals did one thing really well, and that was having the art style changing in the game become a mechanic. I wouldn't have been surprised if the original premise for the game would have been to play the bosses in different art styles, and the rubber hose style was shown in the first trailer to keep the main gimmick of the game under wraps for a bigger surprise later, but it immediately backfired. I still absolutely WANT this premise to be true, and maybe some game in future to work like this. Maybe one of the levels could be entirely clip art 😂
29:10 you didn't even point out the fact frosty LITTERALLY HAS THE VOICE CLIP FROM THE ANIMATION.
The cactuse characters dance is not from an old cartoon but from a recent animation that was part of a music video from a character in lackadaisy which was from the TH-cam channel lackadaisy. Just to let you know.❤
29:12 this boss also GROWS permanently making its hitbox wider and taller until its killed... Some people have witnessed this and declared it impossible.
That dancing character in the desert at 20:55 reminds me a bit of Ivy’s dance from Lackadaisy, is it potentially from that or was that video derived from something else too? I don’t know personally, but it looks pretty accurate!
(Edit- never mind, someone already commented about it and yes that’s exactly what it was!)

I hate this game
kind of off topic, but at 17:24 the man is the inspiration for Cagney Carnation’s idle animation. rubber hose rampage and cuphead are two “similar” games, but show the difference between taking inspiration in an endearing way to straight up tracing
So glad so many people have pointed out that the cactus dance is from Lackadaisy, because I recognized it immediately but couldn't for the life of me place it. I'm willing to bed the reason it's a totally original cactus character and not just fully traced like the others is because Lackadaisy is VERY recent and very popular, so tons of people would have instantly recognized the character.
19:32 I thought Rubberhose rampage just stole some DeviantArt oc when it went upright
This "game" makes Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey look like a cult classic.
Never thought Mickey von Mouserton would be a topic on the Uhyeah Channel!
It looks like a scratch fan game
24:13 Disney actually only bought the shorts Walt Disney made, not the ones afterwards. Pete was also originally a bear in the Oswald cartoons made by Disney so universal kept making the Oswald cartoons with the bear Pete while Disney was using the new Pete which was a cat in the Mickey cartoons. Although the shorts technically aren’t in the public domain I don’t think universal would go after you for you using Pete the bear since they barley even care for there shorts like as if they don’t even exist. So I would say for the most part they’re safe.

Seeing The String Cheese Incident mentioned almost sent me into a coma… an ad for a music festival used to play on the speakers all the time at my summer job. I would always point out how stupid the bands name was because they were one of the performers. Why on earth am I hearing about them AGAIN

The cactus boss’ animation is definitely traced from a Lackadaisy music video, the movement from the character in that video is recognisably smooth
Okay but I genuinely love how the snow king just speeds up with the music lol
And both the music and the level itself are fittingly called “The Hall of the Mountain King”
It’s about as impossible as The Euphoric Brothers becoming better “game developers”.
20:37 This is challstone, charlsto- however you spell it from Lackadaisy's loop animation with a character called Ivy Pepper dancing to some Banger electroswing. Just find Lackadaisy and check its channel.

For the cactus animation, I believe it's a promotional animation from Lackadaisy! I believe it's up on their TH-cam channel currently.
The samurai flying animation is traced from Yoshimitsu from Tekken. The animation when he ascends may be taken from Garuda from Street Fighter EX.
Saw that yoshimitsu move
well... technically it's Illegal from beginning, because Micky and Minnie wear gloves which makes them fall under the new Design that is still under copyright, so it is Illegal.
Dude the poster for Steamboat Willie has Mickey with gloves and there is a public domain Mickey cartoon that being "The Mad Doctor" which the guy briefly mentions in the video that has Mickey with gloves in it.
The Charleston kinda reminds me of the Lackadaisy video called "Jazz cat dance", the face and rythem of the shake of the character kinda lines up to the character dancing. If anyone can fact check that, that would be great👍
“Ok, we couldn’t find the source of that stupid cactus dancing animation, but chances are it’s from some old and obscure cartoon that’s in the public domain .”
literally animation from a very popular indie cartoon that was created 2 YEARS AGO
That "jumbo josh" animation looks like the exact framing of that one lackadaisy gif-
The things that really get me on this are the band logos.
I didn't recognize the one on the pigs shirt, and the lizard's shirt I can't tell what's on it but I bet it's another band logo given that later on we just get the Grateful Dead and Misfits logos in full view.
26:08 oh, I know this one! It was the earliest use of Rotoscope in a cartoon!
