The Thief and The Cobbler: The Recobbled Cur is truly one of the most ambitious lost media recreations I’ve ever seen. Attempting to finally fix Richard Williams 30 year long masterpiece.
- Dialogue from the Chris Farley version of Shrek has been pretty prominent online. The early leak was of the Campfire Confession scene, when Shrek confesses as to why he wants to live by himself, and the most recent audio leak was of Shrek trying to scare Donkey away after rescuing him from Farquaad's henchmen. - The Sly Cooper movie never got off the ground due to the Ratchet & Clank movie failing critically and financially, so Sony had no incentive of letting Rainmaker/Mainframe Entertainment make another film of their IP.
Very good video!!! I was very happy to be mentioned at 50:56! (I already follow your channel and didn't expect to appear in it out of nowhere lol) In the interview i made, Álvaro's son gave some details about the production of the film and what his father's life was like. Afterwards, talking to him, he told me that he does plan to make the film available, but he wants to do it in an appropriate way to do justice to his father's legacy.
19:35 Sonic Armageddon was not created by Ben Hurst, it was Ken Penders. Ben wanted to do a season 3 of Satam (since it ended on a Season 2 cliffhanger) but Ken Penders sabotaged his attempt (by claiming to Sega that Ben was planning to co-opt the Sonic franchise) so he could pitch his Sonic Armageddon movie
I feel like hurst’s version could have been a good way to end off the original Sonic SATAM, but Ken Penders version on the other hand I think would have been absolutely bonkers.
What a terrible shame so much work has gone into so much work, only never to be completed and lost in time. What a terrible waste of time and talent. Hopefully some of this wonderful work will still come to life and make it to the big screen. Thanks for your dedication and research on one of my favorites subjects, animation. 😢 Sad, sad, sad!
I find the story of Richard Williams so fascinating (he is one of my personal inspirations if I may be honest), I mean he spent 25 years making what he believed would have been “the greatest animated movie of all time” with the thief and the cobbler. Everything from the animation he did in some of the Pink Panther films, the 1971 Christmas Carol, Raggedy Ann and Andy a musical adventure and even Who Framed Roger Rabbit were all done so he could get the funding for what would’ve been his magnum opus. It’s a shame that we never did get to see his version of The Thief And The Cobbler due to studio meddling, but it is good that we have fan made versions, as those are pretty much the closest we’ll ever get to seeing the original version of the film. Also I am glad that Richard Williams at least was in peace during the later parts of his career, with him going on to make The Animator’s Survival Kit, a book that has become an essential for those who are aspiring animators. So I’m glad that in some ways he did have a good career.
It wasn't the studio meddling that killed the movie. Richard Williams kept asking for more time and money even though he had previously agreed to a budget and deadline, and his vision started off much smaller, but it kept expanding until it ballooned out of control. Not to mention that he have the animators redo a perfectly useable sequences because he changed his mind on a minor details.

Sure wish Don Bluth didn't have his bad film era. He almost made a comeback with Anastasia and then Titan AE pretty much was the final nail in the coffin. Such a shame because he could have been a great asset for dreamworks.
He would have never gone to Dreamworks because he didn't want anything to do with George Lucas and/or Steven Spielberg after The Land Before Time. He blamed his bad film era on that film because Lucas and Spielberg were more hands-on, which meant less creative control for him.
@@SirBlackReeds They cut out the deleted scenes from The Land Before Time and he was miffed about even just that, so yeah. And unfortunately the film negatives of those deleted scenes aren't known to have been saved.
42:35 the thumbnail black haired woman with big blossoms is Rozzie Featherschneid in "Hey Good Lookin' ". But before the thumbnail change there was a familiar "busty cowgirl" character that I couldn't remember who in time but now it's whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This was another really great Video. However... 13:54 'John CARPENTER based on the book by Edgar Wright Burrough'!!? Um..Incorrect on both counts - Close, but no cigar! 49:29 'HANALULU Nights' was another banger!! Cheers! Regardless, there was an awful lot of interesting lost media here. Thanks so much!!
I was going to leave a similar comment, until I saw you beat me to the punch. Great video, despite a few glaring flaws. These sorts of mistakes used to really get under my skin... UnfortunatelyOr at l, a video over ten minutes in length, featuring fact-based historical information, WITHOUT numerous pronunciation, factual, and grammatical errors, on TH-cam, is about as common as hen's teeth or rocking-horse poo, so I've been learning just to quietly accept it. Or at least trying. I guess I'm just used to grad school, where all sources must be clearly cited, papers diligently edited and peer-reviewed, and mistakes painstakingly eliminated, lest you want a paper that constitutes a sizable portion of your final grade to be marked down for typos and other minor imperfections. I suppose one of the reasons it irks me is, that with modern editing software, it's so easy to go back and fix something. Unsure of how to pronounce and unfamiliar term? Google the proper pronunciation. Unsure of the legitimacy of a source? Cross reference it. In the case of this video, the name was actually visually depicted. Had he watched it once prior to uploading the finished video, he likely would have caught and corrected the error. It just seems like that might be something one would want to do before releasing content that's about to be viewed by thousands of people. Again though, I suppose that's asking too much of TH-cam content creators.
34:04 Gatchaman was based on the anime of the same name. Though English speaking fans of a certain age may know it by the names of Battle of the Planets, G-Force, or Eagle Riders. Imagi were also working on an adaptation of another classic anime, Tetsujin 28 aka. Gigantor, as well as Dreamwork's Tusker. Perhaps having pre-existing relationships with Dreamworks & various Japanese companies is how they were able to get the film rights to these properties.
I remember when this thing was announced. Paul Dini was attached to write. I remember being impressed they were going to give it the original Japanese title and not the more recognized in the west "Battle of the Planets." That and being very disappointed the studio folded before it got made. There was also a sequel planned for the 2007 TMNT animated film, but negotiations broke down because they wanted to make it a more comedic tone than the first. Peter Laird didn't like what was being pitched (he still owned Mirage at the time). Considering how the sequel to the original TMNT movie came out, I'd see why he'd turn a goofball comedy down.
The Thief and the Cobbler was never lost or cancelled. It was just completed not in the creator's vision. Also, the artwork you used for Dracula was a mockup from a fan, that is not from the movie. The movie never made it even to the character design stage. Foodfight was also never lost or canceled. It, like most animated movies, just went through various stages of production. Also, not to sound selfish, but credit would've been nice as the person that found 90% of things relating to Foodfight as well as uploading the Strawberry Fields tape, which the digitization was provided to me by someone who knows the art director in person, who I have spoken to.
The more replies I'm reading just looks like the guy who made this video jumped on Google, went to reddit and called it a night cuz I'm seeing so many comments saying 90% of everything he's said is just wrong
The first Asterix movie, which is based on the first album, isn't lost at all, it's just that the creators didn't like the animation quality and when the same animation studio made an adaptation of the second album they hated it so much they demanded all the negatives to be destroyed.
@@kyliethelittlespider-mangirl94 I got lucky, I had a library that had foreign books. I'd read Asterix and Tin Tin. No clue what anyone was saying because it was French but i had a lot of fun reading via the art. I was mentioning the bit about the movie tonight to my brother and he was off about us having watched the first movie on VHS before I even finished that part of the sentence.
I'm wondering how close Golden Sickle was in production. I caught the first movie somewhere online, and it ended with a teaser for Asterix and Cleopatra. Was that George Lucased in on future releases? I'm still confused by it.
Glad "A Day With Spongebob" is slowly getting phased out. It is one of the pieces of Lost Media I find to be overrated. Like its one of those things I just don't get the excitement for. Yet other finds like Clockman and Cracks are actually the fun ones. There is so many I can say are the best searches but it will take forever... Also, when will we find Freaky Flickers? I always wished that one got found!
Hey good lookin' is one of my favorite films and I am so desperate to see the live action cut. I know Crazy's dad was originally live action and you can see a few stills of it online, but that was the most I had seen up until now.
5:39 *a fabricated lie.* 12:01-12:05 Only chance we'll get to see the film in *moving motion* 34:43 *theatrically in theaters* Why use two words that mean the same thing? 🤔
You missed out Doraemon - Robot Wars. It was an unlicensed Taiwanese film released on February 12th 1983 and was a box office flop. It was made without permission of Fujiko F. Fujio and produced by Wang Film/Cuckoo's Nest Productions. There are only a few screenshots and a 30 second clip of the film.
Alma was possibly shelfed since 2012 because Pacific Rim was in development along with Toro trying and failing to get whats now his 2022 film Pinocchio pitched and developed. Makes me kinda sad cause it seems like a good concept but it is possible it was used as a stepping stone to become his Pinocchio or sprout the idea of trying to pitch it.

The issue is Gigantic just doesn't work in this day and age because of how prominent the gigantism fetish is online, there's no way you can market a movie like that without the fetish crowd picking up on it. It's also very likely the reason since the only reason given was "unspecified creative differences" and Disney have been trying to hide any knowledge of the movie for years and go out of their way to not acknowledge it.
Why didn't you mention Jeff Smith's Bone movie, being made by Warner Brothers back in 2008? It would have been directed by Kung Fu Panda's second director. The project ran for a long time, but in the end it was quietly canceled. As far as I know, no lnow footage or concept art has been shown. It was my most anticipated movie in my late childhood, but it just never came true. Then netflix tried to do a series and that was also cancelled. There's also the 90's Bone movie by Nickelodeon! How could you miss this?
There are many creative people in the world, especially on the Internet. That’s why it infuriates me so much that big studios don’t release every material from these cancelled movies to the public domain, giving indie creators the chance to finish these projects the didn’t.
Surprised that Garfield Judgement Day wasn't listed. The 1980's attempt at giving Garfield a theatrical film in his prime that was considered "too dark" to release. All that exists is a book and a song that was to be in the movie performed by Lou Rawls and Desiree Goyette for a 10th anniversary special. Perhaps it would get a mention in the Disney Iceberg, if you decide to make one, as Disney almost was on board with distributing the film, but was the studio that thought it was too dark to release.
Just a heads up 55:12 is actually fan art from a rule 34 artist. Sucks to see it in the video especially when the rest of the video is full of authentic concept art.
22:54 gee I wonder what must've happened in China around April 1989 that could cause such a thing? 🤔 actually I'm sure absolutely nothing took place around that time. Yeah, that assessment seems fair and Square

No mention of the Marvin the Martian animation/live action mixed film. I just don't get how a bunch of these are not reattempted decades later, some of them seem so interesting! Still personally dying for a Popeye adaptation!
Surprised that all three adaptations of Jeff Smith's Bone weren't mentioned here. Though I guess only two would really count since they were films and the other was a series.
Hey I found this documentary about the behind the scenes of the trap door where the creators of the show talk about their production of the series. At one point they talked about other projects one of them was a film idea called the pudding where it would be about two aliens creatures called houdlen and groil who have landed on planet earth on Christmas where a another alien called the balget is using a device to steal all the Christmas gifts in the world. So it’s up to the both of them to stop him and there was some animation created roundabout 1 minute was made you can find on TH-cam but sadly that all there is I think it was cancelled i just don’t know there is just not that much info about it
Amazing list. I’ve been really interested in both the creative process of animation and and the films that have remained unfinished, unreleased and or lost in time (actually any type of lost media is fascinating). For anyone looking for a list of Disney films that are in this situation TH-cam creator “Yesterworld” has do 2 videos of all of Disney’s unreleased, unfinished and or lost films from its beginnings of their theatrical releases to now.
do these youtubers intentionally do that weird "chills" guys' cadence on purpose like "the movie was never releaseeeed, some PEOple think THaT it was because of nine eleveeeeeeennnnnnnnn"? or is it a genuine speech impediment? is it neuro-linguistic programming? a form of hypnotism/mind-control? aliens? somebody please help, it's driving me insaaaaaaaaaane I just want to watch an iceberg videoooooo in the backgrooooooound but it bothers me so muuuuuuuuuuch.
Concerning the version of "Pinocchio" mentioned at 13:05, there was a version released in Italy in 1972 that looks like they used the character designs used in this version.
You do realize that Jack and Ben became the Rio right they couldn't decide on the story for Jack and Ben and a large portion of the team was laid off in 2008 but they reworked it and presented it to 20th century FOX than it was green lite in 2009 and it came out in 2011 so even if we didn't get to see Jack and Ben at least Rio offered an idea of what it could've been
Correction: It was actually Ken Penders who came up with Sonic Armaggedon, not Ben Hurst. edit: There are two movies I will be mad until I die over the fact they never got made, thats the Plants vs Zombies Dreamworks movie (during their Kung Fu Panda and HTTYD years) and the 90s Cats movie. I will go to the grave pissed off we never got those movies, especially because the Cats movie we did get was so bad.
That concept art is by ken penders both him and ben hurst both wanted to make sonic projects ben wanted to continue satam and ken didnt want this and told sega ben was trying to sabotage the franchise
There’s another cancelled animated movie about elephant that I never see anyone talking about called the Legend of Tembo. It’s about an African elephant named Tembo who, as a calf, is taken from his home and shipped off to India and in order to get home joins the army as a war elephant. The movie was supposed to be directed by Aaron Blaine and Chuck Williams and was gonna be produced by a studio called Digital Domain, but they unfortunately went bankrupt in 2012. Fortunately, some of the people who worked on the film uploaded a bunch of the story boards to TH-cam and other websites, basically showing most of the plot, give or take a few changes, and I honestly think it could’ve been a great movie.
I always eatched Thief and the Cobbler as a kid. The VHS I had however had it titled "Cobbler and the Thief". Had I known it was lost media, I would've kept the VHS
People always forget that Dreamworks was working on a film adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s The White Seal. It was cancelled in its infancy in order to make Kung Fu Panda. The only remaining proof that this movie existed is that Eric Whittaker who was supposed to be the film’s composer released a piece from the film titled “The Seal Lullaby”

I would’ve loved to see a Mutts movie, that pencil test looked so cute! 😍
I forgot those comics existed. I would have watched it too
I find the cancelled films of Blue Sky Studios to be very interesting. Although i like Ice Age i feel like that franchise was holding them back.
The John Carter from Mars not Carpenter 😭😂🤣
I was looking for this comment as soon as he said that. Well, after I went back to confirm that was what he said, anyway.
and then he said Edgar Wright Burrough. so many lies in this kind of schlock.
I feel like gigantic,Medusa, and ,confession of an imaginary freind, bug man deserves to be films.
The issue is Gigantic just doesn't work in this day and age because of how prominent the gigantism fetish is online, there's no way you can market a movie like that without the fetish crowd picking up on it. It's also very likely the reason since the only reason given was "unspecified creative differences" and Disney have been trying to hide any knowledge of the movie for years and go out of their way to not acknowledge it.
@@captainweekend5276have you seen the Disney films over the years. They don’t care as long they put effort in the movies
2003 Little longnose better be on the list cause there is a lost English dub version cause there’s only the Russian version online
I need Foodfight: Reshelved.
Why didn't you mention Jeff Smith's Bone movie, being made by Warner Brothers back in 2008? It would have been directed by Kung Fu Panda's second director. The project ran for a long time, but in the end it was quietly canceled. As far as I know, no lnow footage or concept art has been shown.
It was my most anticipated movie in my late childhood, but it just never came true. Then netflix tried to do a series and that was also cancelled.
There's also the 90's Bone movie by Nickelodeon! How could you miss this?
You jinxed yourself with that Adventure Time movie lol
There are many creative people in the world, especially on the Internet.
That’s why it infuriates me so much that big studios don’t release every material from these cancelled movies to the public domain, giving indie creators the chance to finish these projects the didn’t.
Corporations will always be your enemy. You don’t owe them your “civility”
Surprised that Garfield Judgement Day wasn't listed. The 1980's attempt at giving Garfield a theatrical film in his prime that was considered "too dark" to release. All that exists is a book and a song that was to be in the movie performed by Lou Rawls and Desiree Goyette for a 10th anniversary special. Perhaps it would get a mention in the Disney Iceberg, if you decide to make one, as Disney almost was on board with distributing the film, but was the studio that thought it was too dark to release.
I like Hey good lookin and one day the 70's version will be found. 😀👍
I’m still pissed about the fate of Larrikins as an Aussie :(
Agreed my fellow Aussie 🇦🇺
Not Aussie, but I would have absolutely loved to see Larrykins. It looks like it would have been a lot of fun
It’s SATOSHI KON
FR how on earth did his name get butchered that badly????
Thank you! I was looking for this comment. I get mistakes now and then but that's just a massacre of his name.
Shatoki Kong 🫣
Also the Michael Jackson version of cats dont dance was going to be about stray cats that are on film lots
If it was made god flooded the entire earth
@@Jace-qp8ej huh
Yes god flooded the earth if the film got made
@@Jace-qp8ej no
@@kj21 why?
Just a heads up 55:12 is actually fan art from a rule 34 artist. Sucks to see it in the video especially when the rest of the video is full of authentic concept art.
Okay? Lmao
00:36:38 Shatoki Kong.. lol his name is Satoshi Kon
I cried so hard when he passed. My fav director.
Can’t wait to find out scribbles what animated movies you have on here 😊
The Adventure Time Movie was reconfirmed recently along with other announced spin-offs for the IP.
22:54 gee I wonder what must've happened in China around April 1989 that could cause such a thing? 🤔 actually I'm sure absolutely nothing took place around that time. Yeah, that assessment seems fair and Square
That’s WILD 💀
I really wish The Thief and the Cobbler got completed the animation is incredible and was worth the decades spent on it
Exactly, man i wished for a sequel too but eh, better done nicely than overdone
My dude, you have got to work on your pronunciations.
He can pronounce "subscribe to this video" very well 😂
@@SomebodyHoney Coincidentally!
The Narrator, eating potato chips between audio recordings.
"The well known director *checks notes, frantically sweeps greasy crumbs away*....Shiitake Kong."
My dude, youve got to work on not falling for obvious bait used to boost engagement
@@Tyway You sound like one of those people that claims he can detect sarcasm through text.
There was no need for engagement bait here, the content spoke for itself already. That's a completely nonsensical and baseless assumption.
Occam's Razor, dude. Don't complicate an obvious situation when we already know the reason.
There is no end of the fake facts and missing knowledge of this video.
I understand you aren't familiar with japanese, and I don't want to be mean, but how do you mispronounce Satoshi Kon and Gegege no Kitaro THAT badly??
13:53 I’m glad Carpenter’s finally getting the recognition he deserved
9:24 Hoho boy, did this age well... :)
53:51
as a child, this preserved fragment of the cartoon seemed to me quite creepy and uncanny
Edgar Rice Burroughs, not Edgar Wright Burrow.
I wonder if anything Beebylon related would be on that list?
No mention of the Marvin the Martian animation/live action mixed film.
I just don't get how a bunch of these are not reattempted decades later, some of them seem so interesting!
Still personally dying for a Popeye adaptation!
Please do a similar iceberg video, but for various Disney and Pixar animated movies!
Surprised that all three adaptations of Jeff Smith's Bone weren't mentioned here. Though I guess only two would really count since they were films and the other was a series.
Hey I found this documentary about the behind the scenes of the trap door where the creators of the show talk about their production of the series. At one point they talked about other projects one of them was a film idea called the pudding where it would be about two aliens creatures called houdlen and groil who have landed on planet earth on Christmas where a another alien called the balget is using a device to steal all the Christmas gifts in the world. So it’s up to the both of them to stop him and there was some animation created roundabout 1 minute was made you can find on TH-cam but sadly that all there is I think it was cancelled i just don’t know there is just not that much info about it
Amazing list. I’ve been really interested in both the creative process of animation and and the films that have remained unfinished, unreleased and or lost in time (actually any type of lost media is fascinating). For anyone looking for a list of Disney films that are in this situation TH-cam creator “Yesterworld” has do 2 videos of all of Disney’s unreleased, unfinished and or lost films from its beginnings of their theatrical releases to now.
13:52 - John Carpenter? Seems a bit before his time, don’t you think?
17:57 WHAT DUDE I WOULD HAVE LOVED THIS COME ONNN and I love all dogs go to heaven that broke my heart 😭
Nicely done. It’s surprising how many stories never got the chance to be told in animation.
Wait didnt tax right-offs begin after the cancelation of the batwoman movie or was there another reason?
A sly cooper movie would be peak cinema
Where did you find the info for each of these? I'm just curious as now I want to find out more about each of them.
do these youtubers intentionally do that weird "chills" guys' cadence on purpose like "the movie was never releaseeeed, some PEOple think THaT it was because of nine eleveeeeeeennnnnnnnn"? or is it a genuine speech impediment? is it neuro-linguistic programming? a form of hypnotism/mind-control? aliens? somebody please help, it's driving me insaaaaaaaaaane I just want to watch an iceberg videoooooo in the backgrooooooound but it bothers me so muuuuuuuuuuch.
21:34 till this day I’m still so upset that this movie was never finished, it would have been one of the coolest animated films ever I just know it 😢
16:09 bestie dibujos is pronounced di (as in dill) bou (as in boulevard) hos (as in hohoho)
I can't wait 😊 for this new video 📹 scribbles
I used to have the thief and the cobbler bc it came with 3 different movies including jungledyret hugo
John Carter, not John Carpenter.
Why not include the canceled Ray Harryhausen adaptation of War of the Worlds, and the canceled Robert Zemekis remake of Yellow Submarine?
I’m actually glad that Alma was canceled because it’s too f@%#ing dark for kids
Concerning the version of "Pinocchio" mentioned at 13:05, there was a version released in Italy in 1972 that looks like they used the character designs used in this version.
I believe both designs were based on Attilio Mussino's illustrations.
55:12 Not cool that you used an artist work without permission nor credit...
the Works in terms of artstyle reminds me of Dire Straits Money For Nothing music video
15:20 what’s the name of the music playing here? Sounds really good
i liked that final entry. it's like when a videogame includes "and you" as a credit in the special thanks during the staff roll.
Gorillaz celebrity harvest mention lets fucking gooooo!!!
"15 Thousand" WHAT, fella?! That says "Dibujos", which means "Drawings". "15 Thousand Drawings". Good lord, sir.
You do realize that Jack and Ben became the Rio right they couldn't decide on the story for Jack and Ben and a large portion of the team was laid off in 2008 but they reworked it and presented it to 20th century FOX than it was green lite in 2009 and it came out in 2011 so even if we didn't get to see Jack and Ben at least Rio offered an idea of what it could've been
They should have released that Betty Boop movie! Great Video Scribbles
True, also didn't we already know that she had yiddish parents and were shown in one of the episodes? Her story with her father would've been cute tho
I wish someone would give us any possible reels for Richard Williams’ Will I Live To Finish This?.
Correction: It was actually Ken Penders who came up with Sonic Armaggedon, not Ben Hurst.
edit: There are two movies I will be mad until I die over the fact they never got made, thats the Plants vs Zombies Dreamworks movie (during their Kung Fu Panda and HTTYD years) and the 90s Cats movie. I will go to the grave pissed off we never got those movies, especially because the Cats movie we did get was so bad.
And for the deepest one: Does anyone know anything about “Creation”, apart from Pinto Colvig of Goofy fame directing and animating it around 1915?
That concept art is by ken penders both him and ben hurst both wanted to make sonic projects ben wanted to continue satam and ken didnt want this and told sega ben was trying to sabotage the franchise
6:11 I wish that could become real 😢
21:34 and another reason to dislike dreamworks...
There is also a lost 2003 film adaptation of the Namco game Xevious.
57:30 I remember reading about St. Francis back when I was new to lost media, it was kinda scary just knowing it was gone and out of hate too.
There’s another cancelled animated movie about elephant that I never see anyone talking about called the Legend of Tembo. It’s about an African elephant named Tembo who, as a calf, is taken from his home and shipped off to India and in order to get home joins the army as a war elephant. The movie was supposed to be directed by Aaron Blaine and Chuck Williams and was gonna be produced by a studio called Digital Domain, but they unfortunately went bankrupt in 2012. Fortunately, some of the people who worked on the film uploaded a bunch of the story boards to TH-cam and other websites, basically showing most of the plot, give or take a few changes, and I honestly think it could’ve been a great movie.
Richard Williams = true Master ❤
Who else clicked on this to see where the thicc girl is from
Did you find her?
Still have all my childhood Lego stop motion animations on hand so they havent gotten lost yet
I always eatched Thief and the Cobbler as a kid. The VHS I had however had it titled "Cobbler and the Thief". Had I known it was lost media, I would've kept the VHS
People always forget that Dreamworks was working on a film adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s The White Seal. It was cancelled in its infancy in order to make Kung Fu Panda. The only remaining proof that this movie existed is that Eric Whittaker who was supposed to be the film’s composer released a piece from the film titled “The Seal Lullaby”
25:28 ough this looks SO great even with only the concept art, i’m sure it would’ve been amazing..
Real life murder narrator TH-camrs: Yeah and then he stabbed her in the back 19 times and used her skin to cover a soccer ball so he could kick her face forever, he seemed to be a very big fifa fan lmao
Lost media TH-camrs talking about Tito the Turtle, a 1990 peruvian movie that wasn't finished because of budget:
Ah nah Hey Good Lookin ain't lost when I saw Rozzie I was like oi that's Vinnies Girl! I found the movie through the Mongolian Techno video when they used Vinnies clips from Hey Good Lookin'.
Dude i would've absolutely LOVED watching that Medusa movie over and over ahhhhh i wish she would go back to continue working on that movie
