Fun theory: "Lord" Licorice used to be a prince, he was the son of King Candy, but the king was ashamed of Licorice, saying that his candy isn't sweet enough to be royalty in Candyland, but since Prince Licorice was still his son, he had a castle built in a little out of the way castle and allowed him to be a lord. This would be around the time that Princess Lollipop was born, since then the King would have a "proper" heir. Now Licorice is bitter because of what he could have had, and the love his sister has that he never got, thus he wants to take over Candyland.
*Actually, the board game did have a story.* Beginning with the 1980's version of the game, Lord Licorice had used his magic to kidnap/hide King Kandy and his castle. As a result, Candy Land's magic began to fail, and all candy crops began to do poorly. You (the player) are trying to find the castle and save Candy Land. There were also many spin-off books based on the 80's and 90's versions of the games. There's a little cardboard thing in the box explaining everything, including brief descriptions of the characters. They also changed Frostine into a Princess for the 2002 version (the horrible remake the film is based on) which explains why she's Lolly's sister (ugh, curse the 2002 version) and also why it's Chocolate swamp instead of Molasses. Also, it was not uncommon for nobles of lower-status to conspire for higher-status than their superiors. There's a reason so many stories have viziers as the villains.....because they often tried to overthrow their king out of spite since they were doing more work. Lord Licorice has every reason to want higher status than what he has. While he might make things miserable for the other kinds of candy, the denizens of his land would have more area to roam. Also, he's only banning other kinds of candy, not the people themselves. There are plenty of citizens who are not made of candy.
I'm with you on frostine. I even hate the new look they gave her and as it progressed from there it got worse than ever. Nothing beats her old look. Heck even her name rhymes with Queen.
+PyroGothNerd In the movie's defence - they actually managed to make Mr.Mint's new design less creepy in the film. I don't know - the way he's drawn in the 2002 game just looks really unsettling in my opinion.
Spook Nukem I am a nerd who used to have the 1980's board, and ever since 2nd grade hated the 2002 one....although the 2002 one isn't nearly as bad as the more recent ones.
Bobsheaux If Dragon's Lair works out *praying, praying, praying* then maybe it could open the door to so much more~! I can see him taking Lord Licorice's character and making him both dignified and scary as hell at the same time! Not like this version which disappointed me.
This wasn't so bad. Except the bad guy and that play dough morphing thing and the Gingy from Shrek ripoff. The chocolate swamp and characters getting gooey or slimed was cool!
I'll give the movie credit for one thing: covering the kingdom in licorice out of wanting payback for those who mocked him because nobody likes licorice IS kind of a clever motivation for a villain.
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster probably not! Actually, I think that would’ve been a better direction to take the story: expand on the whole “licorice racism” concept. Have the licorice bits initially hail Lord Licorice as a savior of their people, but throughout the film, make it clear that he doesn’t really care and just wanted to be crowned. This gives the licorice bits motivation to rebel and the heroes motivation to stop Lord Licorice.
PurpleWind64 I can’t stand licorice it doesn’t have an flavor those ones that say it’s strawberry flavored-isn’t even strawberry flavored! And that black licorice... I don’t even want to know what flavor that is.
"He's a Lord, why is he this hungry for power he should already have?" I don't know, why don't you ask every king who's started a war because he want's more land in history?
+lee iif not to mention, he could be just self-entitled as a lord, as far as I can tell, Lord Voldemort has no title of nobility. Heck, not even Lucius Malfoy, implying that the wizard society ditched the nobility titles long ago!
This is going to sound silly, but I felt sorry for Lord Licorice's group being outlawed that I got a pack of Twizzlers this evening. Yes, this movie got me to sympathize with our designated villain.
Outcast Abaoaqu Twizzlers doesn't even feel like REAL licorice to me. XD But yeah this movie makes me want to eat licorice out of sympathy. Plus, I actually like licorice!
This movie is...pretty much harmless. Yea, its a typical nonsensical, boring kids movie, but at least there is some good effort on the animation ad voice-acting, and I confess I found some jokes a bit good, specialy the visual and timing that reminds a bit of Animaniacs and Loney Tunes. I just hope they don't try to make a movie out of Candy Crush... And by the way Bob, your jokes killed me in this review xD
From what I could gather, this movie had a lot of starpower behind it. For example, Ian James Cortlett (Goku, Mega Man, Coconuts) plays Mr. Mint, Scott McNeil (Dr. Wily, Yukon Cornelius, Piccolo) plays King Kandy, Doug Parker (Starscream, Mega Man in Captain N, Prince Adam in New Adventures of He-Man) plays Jolly, Britt McKillip (Princess Cadence, Baby Lola Bunny, Hannah Marie) plays Princess Lolly, Mark Oliver (Him, Super-Skrull, Lord Garmadon) plays Lord Licorice and finally Kathleen Barr (THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE, Katella, Mrs. Twombly) plays Princess Frostine. And also DODGE!!!!!!!!!
When I got to that Mr. Mint scene, the literal first thing to come to mind was Goku. Oh, and irrelevant, but Kid Icarus/Pit from Captain N later went on to voice L from Death Note, and Captain N himself later went on to voice Ed from Ed, Edd, n Eddy. Yeeeee-up.
+lightyearpig12 I've been wracking my brain why Mr. Mint sounded so familiar, and it's not just the Goku voice. He was the dad in the Cramp Twins, too. As weird as it sounds, I kept thinking he was Mr. Cake.
From what I've seen in this review, I want to like Lord Licorice. It's completely understandable to want his licorice to be as liked as all the other candies, until he went with the typical plan of outlawing every other candy. And he mentions that licorice is all but banned when sweets rule the land. So.... where does that leave sour drops, spice drops, other assorted hot/spicey candies like those atomic fireballs? Do they get a spot in the Candy Confederacy? If not, then why doesn't Lord Licorice form an alliance with the rulers of those other assorted un-sweet candies and form an alternate kingdom where people who do like those kinds of candies can go? Like even taking what's presented in the movie, someone with decent writing capability and a standard grasp on logic could rewrite this mess and turn it into a respectable story. Ah well, might as well toss it in the pile of 'Could haves, Would haves, Should haves'.
Supposedly Adam Sandler's company Happy Madison is also working on making a Candy Land movie. Thankfully for all our sanities it's stuck in development hell. I personally hope it stays there....
I'm just trying to imagine what the fuck a Happy Madison Candy Land would be like. I mean, other than it would be to stupid for adults to enjoy but too vulgar for kids to enjoy.
+MartianManHunter2258 Seth Macfarlane and Adam Sandler!? For the love of whatever you find sacred show mankind a little mercy, the world is not yet ready for such horror to be unleashed!
I think the only movie based on a board game that worked was Clue, and I think that's primarily because 1: the game has a story that makes sense and could easily be expanded on and B: Tim Curry.
you understand that king is above lord right? Lord licorice wants more power than he does currently have. a lord has power of some land but a king has control over basically everything. While he is a lord it seems like he was given a shitty piece of land
I remember getting creeped out by Lord Licorice whenever I had to play the game. On a different note, Michael Bay should do a Candyland movie. It can only benefit from explosions.
14:42 "Loli tries to save Jib by jumping in, herself, because she forgot that she can fly, apparently!" Not only that. This entire scene could've been avoided if Jolly had decided to shape-shift into the broken part of the bridge (or anything else, really) so that the rest of the main protagonists can cross. Essentially, this is just another excuse to cause conflict where there would be none at all, otherwise.
Just me or does the lord liquorice guy's song look/feel a bit like Rasputin's song from Anastasia? think about it... small "cute" creatures bouncing around singing along with an evil villain who also happens to be bouncing around a whole lot while singing about how evil he is and what he plans to do with his evil magic.... Just me?
+Dainn Greywall I saw that too though Lord Licorice sung about wanting to take over Candyland (of course!) while Rasputin wanted to murder Anastasia to complete his curse.
I would love to see a version of Candyland with licensed candy. Seriously, the Skittles forest sounds freaking cool to me. Also, I actually own the version of Candyland this film is based off of.
There are no queens in fantasy, unless they're evil I guess, or nice ones that died tragically. I loved the MST3K reference! By the by, did you hear the news? :D
I had a DVD game for the 2002 version and there were so many ads for this movie for this on there. I can't believe this actually existed. I used to be obsessed with this.
This happened while i was reacting to this. Me:OH GOD IT'S THE GREAT MIGHTY POO! bobsheaux:"I'TS THE GREEDY FROM THE RAGGEDY ANNE MOVIE!" Me:THAT'S EVEN BETTER!
as someone who really likes licorice, I find it hard not to empathise with the villain at least a little. that's pretty creepy vines infecting everything though.
So um... How do all gathering all these Candy offerings work? Is it like the standard gathering of the plot coupons? Also; Peanut butter being Dog poop in this Universe??? (SQUICK!!!)
You and almost everyone in the Nordic countries. Seriously, in real-life I don't know a single person who doesn't like licorice, but every English-speaking person I talk to online seems to hate it. I guess it's a bit of an acquired taste.
Anonymous World Class Black licorice is the only real licorice. The strawberry-flavoured "red licorice" isn't actually licorice, it's just shaped like it.
It's okay, dear) Then I was little, anyone could be my huge crush as long as he was tall, skinny, smiley (optional) and had more or less decent animation. So could have been Mr Mint, actually... Please don't hate me Bob, I love your videos.
Love the review but the movie was based on the revised from from the early 2000's, not the original. With the 2000's one, Frostine and Lolly were sisters rather than mother and daughter while the king was both their father. My theory is that the original Lolly could've grown up, married and have the current Frostine and Lolly...still can't figure why and how could she marry a guy with the same name as her father though...
Okay, this looks like one stupid…creepy…stupidly creepy…creepily stupid movie. As for another board game movie you could review, how about 1985's _Clue_ starring Tim Curry, Madeline Khan, Lesley Ann Warren, and Christopher Lloyd among others.
lol XD It's a fun movie. By the way, did you know that there are four alternate endings? Three of them are featured in the movie, but the fourth, where Tim Curry's character committed the crimes and poisoned the main cast, was cut.
So no one is gonna comment on how the liqorice minions are another constant reminder of...Minions ? Oh sure Frozen's an easy target, but it had a point to it. What's the point of the Minions ?!
+Christopher Case At least the licorice minions make some kind of sense. Lord Licorice loses a few, and all he has to do is (literally) stir up some NEW ones. But apparently Minions have just always BEEN here? I don't think so. ;P
@@critica77y77 I love Frozen too but I really enjoyed that Frozen joke that empathized how sick everyone was of Let It Go during mid-year 2014 and 2015.
18:35 Then he puzzled and puzzled till his puzzler was sore. Then Bobsheaux thought of something he hadn't before. Maybe candy, he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe candy, perhaps, means a little bit more.
Fun theory: "Lord" Licorice used to be a prince, he was the son of King Candy, but the king was ashamed of Licorice, saying that his candy isn't sweet enough to be royalty in Candyland, but since Prince Licorice was still his son, he had a castle built in a little out of the way castle and allowed him to be a lord.

Lord Licorice has every reason to want higher status than what he has. While he might make things miserable for the other kinds of candy, the denizens of his land would have more area to roam.
Also, he's only banning other kinds of candy, not the people themselves. There are plenty of citizens who are not made of candy.
...Why do you know this?
I'm with you on frostine. I even hate the new look they gave her and as it progressed from there it got worse than ever. Nothing beats her old look. Heck even her name rhymes with Queen.

Spook Nukem I am a nerd who used to have the 1980's board, and ever since 2nd grade hated the 2002 one....although the 2002 one isn't nearly as bad as the more recent ones.
You know if someone like Don Bluth got his hands on it, I think Candy Land could be turned into a great animated children's film!
+Pixiestickmatch12 Yes! Let's make that happen!
Bobsheaux If Dragon's Lair works out *praying, praying, praying* then maybe it could open the door to so much more~!
I can see him taking Lord Licorice's character and making him both dignified and scary as hell at the same time! Not like this version which disappointed me.
This wasn't so bad. Except the bad guy and that play dough morphing thing and the Gingy from Shrek ripoff. The chocolate swamp and characters getting gooey or slimed was cool!
Is it worth it though? It's candy land
@@alexjewett7455 there is no such thing as a bad movie idea. Just bad movies
I'll give the movie credit for one thing: covering the kingdom in licorice out of wanting payback for those who mocked him because nobody likes licorice IS kind of a clever motivation for a villain.
Nintendotron64 agreed tbh
For some reason, there was something in that song to that felt, a bit charming.
It reminded me a lot of a pirate shanty.
So like... am I the only one who likes licorice?
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster probably not! Actually, I think that would’ve been a better direction to take the story: expand on the whole “licorice racism” concept.

For some reason, villian songs tend to be the best in children movies.

The villain song in this crappy is the best 🎼🎵🎶
@Frizzurd see them study, watch them learn
Y'know, Lord Licorice would probably be a lot more popular if he focused on the red kind of licorice instead of the black kind.
#BlackLicoriceMatters
Bobsheaux SAVAGE
Bobsheaux word
What's wrong with black licorice? Those things have a unique flavor to them! Certainly better than *chocolate* licorice!
Right?!
"He's a Lord, why is he this hungry for power he should already have?"
I don't know, why don't you ask every king who's started a war because he want's more land in history?

"Why is that tree sentient?" BECAUSE IT'S GOT A FACE! Everything with a face drawn on it becomes alive, obviously. It's magical food 101 right there.
Just me or does the lord liquorice guy's song look/feel a bit like Rasputin's song from Anastasia? think about it... small "cute" creatures bouncing around singing along with an evil villain who also happens to be bouncing around a whole lot while singing about how evil he is and what he plans to do with his evil magic....
Just me?
+Dainn Greywall I saw that too though Lord Licorice sung about wanting to take over Candyland (of course!) while Rasputin wanted to murder Anastasia to complete his curse.
Well yeah, but while the music's tone also was different, the song structure was eerily similar.
+Greywall Gaming i knew it sounded familiar

His song reminded me of the one Merlin sang in The Sword and the Stone tbh...his helping wash dishes or packing up song I think 🤔

I gotta admit... I used to have a huge crush on Mr. Mint when I was like 6 (Come at me Bob, I have no shame!!) lol xD
+♥GillyBeanz♥ Get out.... -_- lol jk
It's okay, dear) Then I was little, anyone could be my huge crush as long as he was tall, skinny, smiley (optional) and had more or less decent animation. So could have been Mr Mint, actually...
Please don't hate me Bob, I love your videos.
I'm not alone XD
Kinkshamed
I still like lord licorice.... send help
6:24 Did Mr. Mint just say, "My boy?"
OH MY GOD MR. MINT IS THE KING OF HYRULE.
Love the review but the movie was based on the revised from from the early 2000's, not the original. With the 2000's one, Frostine and Lolly were sisters rather than mother and daughter while the king was both their father. My theory is that the original Lolly could've grown up, married and have the current Frostine and Lolly...still can't figure why and how could she marry a guy with the same name as her father though...
This movie was actually a part of my childhood, strangely enough. .3.
NEED MORE MARSHMALLOWS! LET IT GO IS EVERYWHERE!
When it comes to adapting board games into movies, I think "Clue" and "Battleship" represent the two ends of that spectrum.
Okay, this looks like one stupid…creepy…stupidly creepy…creepily stupid movie.
As for another board game movie you could review, how about 1985's _Clue_ starring Tim Curry, Madeline Khan, Lesley Ann Warren, and Christopher Lloyd among others.
+SEGASister But one of us wasn't here! Neaoh!
Neaoh?
Neaoh!
Uhh...?
+SEGASister I don't know how to type the word "no" with Tim Curry's especially British accent... lol
lol XD It's a fun movie. By the way, did you know that there are four alternate endings? Three of them are featured in the movie, but the fourth, where Tim Curry's character committed the crimes and poisoned the main cast, was cut.
Well i liked it...
Now I want a gingerbread cookie. By the way nice review, Bob!
I think the reason none of the other trees and the houses are not alive is because they lack faces on them.
I have some faint memory of a candy land computer game I played when I was super young that this reminds me of. Serious nostalgia flashback.
You are literally my favourite TH-cam reviewer.
Awww, thank you. ^_^
The Candyland computer game though... now there's a nostalgia blast.
I actually watched this many many years ago... and I enjoyed it...
Its official, I've found a new channel to binge watch... if I wasn't already convinced from the Land Before time reviews...
So no one is gonna comment on how the liqorice minions are another constant reminder of...Minions ? Oh sure Frozen's an easy target, but it had a point to it. What's the point of the Minions ?!
someone above mentioned it.
+Christopher Case At least the licorice minions make some kind of sense. Lord Licorice loses a few, and all he has to do is (literally) stir up some NEW ones. But apparently Minions have just always BEEN here? I don't think so. ;P
Christopher Case This movie released FAR before the minions. They are also far superior and cannot even be compared.
Also, the Frozen joke is unappreciated by an actual fan of Frozen (me).
@@critica77y77 I love Frozen too but I really enjoyed that Frozen joke that empathized how sick everyone was of Let It Go during mid-year 2014 and 2015.
I had this movie on VHS when I was little, so it’s nice to see a piece of my childhood gaining attention.
I think you put more thought into how this world works then you should have :3
I'm amazed that I'm apparently the only one to have thumbs-upped your comment so far.
Bob eating the gingerbread man is totally me when I'm stoned...
Was this animated by the people who did Rudolph the Movie? The style's pretty similar to me.
Also I laughed my ass off at the Frozen bit.
I used to rent this at Blockbusters so many times
"Peppermint Cannibal Beavers" is a great band name.
+Jill Sandwich Right up there with ʎɥsols. ;)
We Don't Really Even Care About Band Names. At least not until Midnite.
+Jill Sandwich Truly the greatest song ever conceived by Man...

Dude, trees are living things, the houses aren't sentient because they don't have faces
What's their problem with licorice? It's in my top favorite candies.
Same. I even like black licorice.
I prefer the red licorice over the other flavors.
10:00
"And soon my chewy sticky goo shall rise into the skies."
*MUST BE A BOBSHEAUX.*
The part with the basket-dog made me regret eating peanuts today @~@ other than that, entertaining review as always! :3
+Mariah Steele Cue Christopher Lloyd...
I ATE PEANUTS TODAY!!! >:(
I could have sworn there was a short cut through licorice castle.
Why is Lord Licorice’s theme so catchy? 😂
Villain songs are always catchy.
18:35
Then he puzzled and puzzled till his puzzler was sore. Then Bobsheaux thought of something he hadn't before. Maybe candy, he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe candy, perhaps, means a little bit more.
Whats this? A new Bobsheaux? Hurray! :D
But wouldn't a nice, warm sunny day melt all the candy or the frosting in the gingerbreadkid's backpack?
This is clearly by the MLP G3 team.
Austin Reed Yup. I looked everywhere for this comment
9:31 to be fair, black licorice is the most disgusting thing ever. That being said, this song is actually kinda catchy.
#Gingerbreadlivematter
Lord Licorice might just be a self-proclaimed title. I'm for his plan, someone needs to be in licorice's corner
Yet another reason for me to not like licorice
I'm surprised the "must be a Bobsheaux" wasn't triggered by "princess loli."
Daw! I can't hate those little licorice minions! So cute!!!!XD The movie still stinks though >:(
Bro your vids are the best you deserve a million subscribers 💓💓💓
I remember watching this movie.
Parkinson's YOUR FUCKING PROFILE PICTURE AND NAME, I'M DEAD
"I have my backpack, my gingerbread icing and my meth!"
Ah, misheard dialogue and lyrics are such fun. lol
