My favorite part of this movie would probably be the villain. I thought his entrance was pretty awesome, despite being 'a Family Picture.' And he even seemed rather intimidating.
ragmondead THINGS THAT INSIDE OUT HAS IN COMMON WITH OSMOSIS JONES: - there is a "control center" of sorts in the brain (but to be fair, in Inside Out, the control center is operated by Riley's five emotions, whereas in Osmosis Jones, it's just governed by some single power-hungry one blowhard dude) - dreams are treated like movies (but Inside Out additionally delves into the process of how dreams are born, comparing it to the way a movie is staged, rehearsed and produced) - the subconscious is depicted as a strange, surreal, confusing, frightening place (but honestly, is there really any other way to depict the subconscious other than by making it scary and confusing?) So... three things. Inside Out has three things in common with Osmosis Jones. And honestly, all of these similarities could very well be coincidental.
You guys should check out the Ozzy & Drix spin-off show from this movie, it was really creative and well done, no Farrelly Brothers Live-Action Scenes, and Tim Curry was the voice of a few of the villains!
i remember watching this as a kid and sadly sighing every time a live action scene came on. like the kind of sigh you give when you're watching a great movie and it cuts to commercials
+Thomas Mason but they are important to story as a hole. ironic how Dough likes inside out because it shows how we need getitive ferlings for the hole but says just leave live action stuff out because is not as good. I liked Shane and Dough doesn't get concept Frank is suposted to a lazy ideot bump .but there's an election going on inside him entire body. and one problem i had with inside out. the problem is settled to easily. know it good to talk about your feelings but as if Anger Discuss and Fear never thought of just saying they wanna go back. if the problem is all psychological how about make it a pretty lame exscuss how cold bonse back ok but doesn't eating rotten euster in first place like that eggs. it wasn't what happened its him. get the picture. and wile their planning weak end trip there's a serial killer planning to kill him from the inside.
Smartass012 O.K. Firstly please take more time with the grammar in your comments that took me about 6 times reading it through to understand what you were saying. Secondly it's not that seeing live action segments is a bad idea, it's that they were badly done. But more crucially I don't really think you properly understood Inside Out. It wasn't supposed to have a bad guy, or be in any way a realistic interpretation of the mind... but a metaphor for the mental difficulties and stresses of growing up. The "Bad guy" isn't a crackling villain or hardship, it's just life. The difficulty of having to confront the realities of the world as you grow up and come to emotional maturity. That is a far better and more profound moral than anything seen in this film.
Thomas Mason that what bothers me the most so much interesting stuff really going on our brains really are little people or little pieces of going on in Brain entire body. . and worse the them of forgetting every you leaned in childhood no wonder teens are so immature. Remering childhood won't make a child in fact that's how you mature .BingBong could have gotten his own childhood memory island . .I found a video titled if BingBong mad it to headquarters. . And another thing personality was built up on more then just one memory also Small thing you even think about. . And More then Modes behavior also routes for trains of thought places to store memories. . And also nothing happened between age 3&11 no advice favorite movies lines .modesty.
Thomas Mason 3&11 is when parents pay attention so this probably More a depiction of minds of parents rather then actual childs minds . and sense is childhood so perfect I seen kids younger then Riley I my self have had mixed emotions and even go through similar situations highschool is known for. Its selective memory why childhood seems so nice . again based of mind of parents not actual children. . and emotionally neutral memories. Though intellectual aspects of the mind are neglected or at best breeth mention . but I did grow up on Ozzy &Drix. And all the other little people run my Head and body. Some thing smart as. Inside Out mind works closed thing to neurons are under appreciated islands not even inhabitanted
I love this film. I despise the live-action parts but the animated parts are awesome. The villain is one of the most underrated ones in animated history and it was kind of like the Magic School Bus of movies. Only in a way that it saved you from notes and boring documentaries. My science teacher showed us this movie in the middle of our body systems unit and everyone loved it.
Exactly my opinion on this movie heck I think osmosis jones is just as good as iron giant In fact both of those movies are my favorite warner bros animated movies it's just the live action that sucked so if you want to watch osmosis jones skip the live action scenes.
+Emma Seibert My science teacher also showed this movie back in the day lol. It was better than regular class so that's why it guaranteed everyone basically liked it lol.
I honestly wish the original creator was allowed to revisit the film and remove all the cringy Bill Murray moments and make it closer to his vision. If that were to happen I would definitely like this film.
I used to dislike the movie for one reason: disgusting scenes and I don't mean disgusting as bad... I mean literally disgusting and gross... the exploding zit, eating an egg that had been in a monkey's mouth, vomiting and showing what's in his mouth that killed that movie for me... it's just me... I can't stand gross out comedies
The Live Action Parts Are Infested With Sudo Wokeness and terrible Bill Murray Comedy,Frank Is A Very Terrible Character With No Redeeming Qualities,His Daughter Is Empty And I could give one shit,his brother is a terrible character and every single aspect of the live action parts blow,I mean I Love Bill Murray But This is one of his worst performances,the animated parts are filled with cop cliches and bad jokes but overall,it's fine.
Osmosis Jones may have its flaws, but design and animation are awesome. All the cells, viruses and other little inhabitants of the human body look like freakin' cool aliens! If you replace any of the pirates from Treasure Planet with Thrax, nobody will say that he looks out of place ;)
With the cop cliche thing, I feel like a lot of creators and even viewers try to defend that sort of thing by saying "Oh it's a parody/satire. They're fully aware of how dumb it is!" Newsflash: just having cliches with nothing done to subvert or make fun of them in anyway does NOT make it satire. If you want a perfect example of how to parody cliches look at The Incredibles. First Frozone talks about how an old villain of his started monologuing when he could have easily killed him, pointing out how dumb that particular cliche is. Later, Syndrome starts monologuing to Mr. Incredible when, again, he can easily kill him. Instead of just having him go on like most movies would do, Mr Incredible actually tries to take advantage of the situation by attacking him, inciting Syndrome to shout "You sly dog! You got me monologuing!" THAT'S how you parody a cliche!
***** I usually get those words confused, which is why I included them both. Thank you! But my point obviously still stands. And yeah, I agree with that. Disney was thrashed in that movie XD
+roarshach13 The tropes are being parodied on the grounds of the whole premise of them being in a human body. Presenting the cop/crime genres in the context of white blood cell cops trying to stop infectious criminals counts as the genre being parodied. Not everything has to be meta fourth wall breaking jokes in order to be parodies, honestly these days breaking the fourth wall feels like the easiest (and therefore cheapest) way to make writing seem clever. And no, I'm not saying the Incredibles was a bad film. And hell, even that played it's superhero/spy fiction tropes pretty straight from time to time. For example I don't recall any meta jokes about how Syndrome's base was in a volcano on a secluded island, they just put it there because it simply suited that genre of film.
I really liked this movie as a kid, but I HATED the live action parts. They were so uninteresting and just stupid that I couldn't stand them. At least they were only a few minutes long each but I really hated it anyways. Animated parts, sure the cop cliches were pointless but the animation, Thrax, and the presentation of how the human body worked on the inside I loved. Haven't seen the movie in probably a decade but from what I saw in the review, I'll still like the animated parts, and still hate the live-action parts. If the live-action parts were used as a vessel for the animated part's story as opposed to trying to be its own thing I think the movie would've been much better.
PWLG UnicornLPer ... you watched that without knowing it was based on a movie!? ... that's like me being a fan of the Beetlejuice TV show on FOX without ever knowing there's a movie. :D
andrewkful if u look at the normal video u will see that nearly all off the ppl there knew about the tv show but not the movie me included the show is good the movie from what i saw is meh
Am I the only one who doesn't think Inside Out was a rip-off of Osmosis Jones? The movie only has THREE things in common, and it's all COMPLETELY coincidental.
ZomifiedHam It's not a rip-off, it has things in common, there's a difference. It happens inside of someone and some elements are similar, but apart from that, the story, the atmosphere, the characters etc. are completely different. On the one hand you have a cops movie about defeating an evil disease trying to kill their owner, on the other side an emotional movie about a little girl who is going through a hard time and who needs to learn to accept her own feelings, even when they're not happy and joyful. Where's the rip-off? Ah yes, they're both inside of the human body, that definitely counts as a "total rip-off".
CaptJosmy i see your terrible argument. if people ripped off plotlines, landscapes, setpieces AND characters off of things so willy-nilly people would call them out more often. and nobody wants to be called out. some scenes are similar, but not enough to say the whole plot is similar, some set pieces are VERY GODDAMNED SIMILAR but not enough to say the art style as a whole was similar. some of the places were not the same concept, but it was still the same exact landscape, and both of them had really basic archetypes for characters. nothing is coincidental, being inside a body is what these movies are about, one did it first and inspired another group to do the same idea differently. these movies are both great. (except for the live action.)
ZomifiedHam "i see your terrible argument" that honestly sounds like the words of someone who doesn't see nor wants to see the argument. I still can't see it as a rip-off. That's like saying "this has space and aliens? STAR WARS RIP-OFF" even though the story and the characters and the atmosphere is different. Because, again, those elements are very different in both movies. That this movie INSPIRED THEM I can accept (if it's true, I don't know) That it was a rip-off, no. There's a huge difference. Plus, how can you call it a rip-off if you say the movie is great? The core of the rip-off is that it's bad; at least way worse than the original. That's absolutely not the case here. I won't say one is better, that depends on your taste I guess, but you can't say it's a rip-off when it's that good.
CaptJosmy thats because i don't want to see the argument. you see rip-offs as exclusively bad, so to you a good rip-off clearly cant exist, so you bunch up rip-offs as bad and good movies as original. arguing with someone who cant figure that out is like trying to tell a bird to swim. some inherently know whats going on, others drown in their ignorance. i dont want to argue with you because i wanted to have fun here, and it makes me sad to argue with you.
When I was in 8th grade (the second time) I had this great biology teacher. The guy was like Miz Frizzle with low budget magic. At one point we were studying the human body and he had us do an assignment where we were to explain the circulation of the blood cell. Which we had gone over thoroughly. I'd seen this movie so many times with my family I just decided to use the concept for this with a female BBall player, street racing, and a blood cell named Zoey. Spent 2-3 days on it. And it landed on a cliffhanger but I apparently had the one of the best story in class. But that's because everyone else was doing "Did you kids know?" And Magic School bus rip offs. And I believe he holds a copy of it to this day.
I bet Osmosis Jones would make a better movie without the live action segments and if it's not entirely focused as a cop movie, but rather a multi-role movie with different unique micro-organisms for main characters with different roles to do with the body who all get entangled in the same adventure of saving the human body from Thrax and his gang.
In the animation show, I remember this one episode TO THIS DAY where the kid they switched to for the show was being peer pressured to smoke and smoke germ entered the brain to try and make him addicted but then the girl that the kid had a crush on (who didn't like smoking) over rode his addiction....it was pretty cool and I applaud it for its bold stance.
Have you heard of Ozzy and Drix it's a fully animated TV series with most of the animated characters. I used to watch it when I was younger and I remember it being pretty good. Check it out :)
Variety Fox I Remember It Too. But The Movie Had A Mix Of Animation & Live Action, But The TV Series Didn't. And Ozzy Was Voiced By Static Shock's Voice Actor In The Series While He Was Voiced By Chris Rock In The Movie.
And it only had 3 characters from the film Osmosis Jones, Drix and Frank and even then Frank was only in it for a few seconds and a brief cameo in the Salmonella episode
Doopcoop Whoop Archer isn't really sexist. He's gotten better as the seasons continued, and now he has a baby with Lana, and trying his best not to cheat on her, shown when his coworkers tried to make them break up by sending his cyborg girlfriend to his house and he sent her away. He isn't perfect, but at least he is trying, and he doesn't say woman cant do stuff, he's just...really into sex for some reason. I also probably shouldn't even watch the show, being sixteen, but it doesn't bother me.
They should at least mention the Osmosis Jones cartoon :\ it was great at teaching kids about health and how our bodies work in a really fun and interesting way.
Osmosis Jones was so strange that for most of my life I thought it was a weird dream that I had. I think I saw one of the episodes of the TV show too which added to my confusion. But yeah, I really thought it was a dream for like years, until I watched it in my high school bio class.
The animated part actually got a tv-show on cartoon network called: Ozzy and Drix. It is a nostalgic show for me that I liked in Norwegian, don't know how it is in English. But since you we're interested in the animated portian check it out, who knows you might like it ;)
"it was originally going to be 5 to 10 minutes of live action and then the rest was all animated"...so in terms of animation it was going to be like bolto? and for those of you don't know about bolto just give it a google. as a child i thought it was awesome but now i just think it's....okay. i don't consider it to be a grand masterpiece but i can get through it just fine
I'm just gonna say it, in hindsight, (I saw this film, in parts, like once), there are essentially 2-3 good parts about this film. 1, David High Pierce, (he was good as Slim in Bug's Life and also perhaps here) 2, Thrax, (Laurence Fishburne's performance making it even better). 3, the animated sections, in just the animation in short.
I hate the comparison's between Osmosis Jones and Inside Out. Really, they are only made because people are so fixated on the minor similarities that they don't notice the major differences. Face it, haters. Inside Out was a good film.
Osmosis Jones and Inside Out are painfully different, it's like the people who compares A Bug's Life with Antz and The Book Of Life and Coco not realizing their differences
Just in case you guys didn't know, they actually did a completely animated series based on this film. I remember watching it as a kid, but can't remember actual episodes.
I assumed he started acting this way when the current mayor took office. I really hope one day someone will remake this movie, keep the villain if they can get a good voice actor for him. OR, have the protagonist Human be a possible Patient Zero for a new virus no one has heard of, and have an all out war inside the body
Of the aspects of the movie that had the most potential, I'd have to say Thrax tops the list for me. Interesting, terrifying villain that still occasionally keeps me up at night or even gives me nightmares. I was a disease-obsessed kid,so Thrax really struck a chord with me.
I agree with Rob - Osmosis Jones does deserve a remake, but not as a movie; make it a cartoon series. Plenty of famous movies have been made into cartoons, and sometimes the results are pretty awesome.
D Vass you should watch the tv series then, it's called Ozzy and Drix. It's not the best cartoon out there but it is pretty decent and it's not that long with only 26 episodes. Definitely a good watch in my opinion
Really starting to miss the real thoughts videos. In high school I took a work study job where they paid me to work as an assistant janitor for the school, and I would listen to these videos while I was working.
I really like this move, but holy shit that song in "The Zit" by Kidney Rock/Kid Rock. Let me post some small snippet of lyrics from that song here. "like 'em underage see. Some say that's statutory. But I say it's mandatory"
I personally only ever watch the animated parts and just skip the live action bits. Thrax is one of my favorite villains. Its interesting that they made Anthrax a villain. The symptoms are similar and also, Thrax acts like a man made virus. Normal ones usually try to replicate and survive which ultimately results in the death of the host, Thrax however doesn't really seem to mind about his personal safety that much aside from killing as many people as possible.
I saw Osmosis Jones in the theater, but haven't seen it since. I seem to remember liking it enough. Was it a perfect film? No, but it wasn't terrible. The animation was great and the live action was Bill Murray and Chris Elliott. I'd watch Bill Murray and Chris Elliott read from a book of cliches.
As much as I like Mr. Walker is material, I think he gets a little too worked up when a movie pulls cliches. As an aspiring composer and wannabe filmmaker, one thing I've come to learn is that there really isn't anything new under the Sun. The Bible itself says so. therefore, I'm more concerned whether or not a movie pulls off the cliches well. And in Osmosis Jones, they're pulled off reasonably well because the voice actors do such a good job. I think more movie critics who are always talking about originality need to read the book "Steal Like an Artist", which clearly demonstrates that every good idea is a warped form of something else. They should also consider a quotation from David O. Russell: "Nothing is a cliche if you're doing it from the heart". And in my opinion, they did the animated portion of Osmosis Jones from the heart. Too bad I can't say the same for the live-action portion, though.
I personally get to know film because I saw tv show. "Ozzy & Drix" it was 100% animated tv series and it was pretty cool. At least was back then -idk how it holds up after years
For one second, I thought Rob had an Anatomy Park t-shirt hidden there. I was waiting for him to just show it off! XD It goes really well for this movie actually! (For people that don't know what I'm talking about, see Anatomy Park from Rick and Morty)
I enjoy the movie mostly because puns don't bother me unless the puns are forced and sometimes they were in this movie. This is the kind of movie that I don't have to think through. It's something where I can come back from work and relax to. Also remember that Star Wars Kid's life was ruined by that video becoming viral so imagine how it would have affected Frank when it was on the Today Show causing to lose his job while he was most likely in mourning. Maybe you need to look at the Frank character differently.
I really enjoyed this movie. Obviously, I preferred the cartoon parts but I didn't really mind that live action that much. I thought the villain was pretty awesome, it had a great design and voice and it was pretty creepy how he was working his way through different people, killing them quicker each time. The funniest part is where he gets trapped in the sub concious and when he escapes goes 'this guy was sick before I got here'
I saw this when i was still visiting my dad on the weekends so REALLY young. I loved this movie back then probably cause i was around ten and wasn't big into movies back then.
Also, I guess you're supposed to feel sad when Frank is dying because for the cells, it's the equivalent of a city burning down. It's yet another example of the animated portions actually making us care and the live action portions not. And even with the live action taking up a quarter of the run time, Thrax is still one of my favorite villains.
funnily enough what kinda gets me is how antrax is in the film how you kill the one viral particle and SUDDENLY he gets better, when in reality thrax would be multiplying and making copies, causing havoc all over at the same time
This movie was a guilty pleasure of mine for a long time. Still kinda is. It's not a good movie, sure, but I enjoyed it for the most part. Even the live action parts weren't that bad. Could Doug and Rob do a "Real Thoughts" on Ghost Dad? That's one of my favorite NC reviews! :D
I can't believe all these comments on this video and yesterday's not knowing the movie existed but being familiar with _Ozzy & Drix_. I feel like I've entered a parallel universe here. It's not a case of people just being too young to remember the movie since the show premiered almost exactly a year after the movie and only ran for two 13-episode seasons on the Kid's WB block before being cancelled in mid-2004. The movie ended up tanking at the box office (it was another in a string of expensive failures that led to Warner Bros.' decision to finally shutter their Feature Animation division in 2004) but there was a huge marketing push before it premiered in theaters, so it's surprising to hear that people don't remember it. The show wasn't exactly a big hit either.
I remember seeing half of the film on Cartoon Network... And I literally tuned into it right at the popping zit scene. I still remember being confused as hell (since I haven't seen it beforehand).
"No, I don't think we need to dig up the Garbage Pail Kids movie again..." ...I am so glad you're not aware that they're making another Garbage Pail Kids movie. I'd hate to see what your reaction would be if you WERE aware. That, or the fact that there was a GPK cartoon series that never made it to the US.
The Shady Reviewer The best way I can describe the GPK cartoon is if you take the craziest show you've ever seen and make it fifty times crazier, you've got the GPK cartoon. And, unlike most other cartoons that aim for that level of insanity, this one...kinda...works.
You two look so awkward sitting in front of the camera like this. Sit in some comphy chairs, don't stare at the camera, have a conversation between eachother, and you won't be so creepy.
I have to agree with both you and Rob about the animated parts of this movie. I still like watching this every now and then even though some of the gross humor I'm not that much into. However, I will admit that if they did put more animation into it and not so much live action this really could have been a great movie. Also, I loved Thrax as a villain (even if he didn't say much). He had a cool design, a great menacing voice and a pretty wicked scheme. And I loved Ozzy (Osmosis Jones) as a hero character because he did have faults we could understand and some great moments.
Garbage Pail Kids remake directed by Uwe Boll, starring Matthew Broderick, and music by Randy Newman. I think that's how to make it any worse than the original for Doug.
If someone does a cop cliche movie, they could do something where like if the cop gets fired, they immediately join the rival police (not the villain, just those cocky people like in Anchorman 2) in order to finish the job of beating the antagonist. I hope Zootopia doesn't mess this up :(
Both Inside Out and Osmosis Jones share some similarties but I think Osmosis Jones was more about the body and its funtions and Inside Out was about the brain. Love both movies though.
I heard the movie was originally supposed to be pg-14 but then the animators found out the Farley Brothers (or how ever you spell their name) were doing the live action so they gave up half way and made the jokes a bit dumber because they knew they couldn't compensate for the stupid live action.
Even though that i like this movie, they have good points. All the gross-out stuff didn't really affect me except the science fair scene. If the farley brothers would've stuck with the original concepts, it would've been more amazing as it is and without live action sequences being boring and "sluggish". Plus the film should've been PG-13 as it was suppose to before the final cut.
Yes here's what the movie should have been make it about 5-10 minutes of live action 90 minutes of animation, make the movie a adult animated PG-13 comedy like have all the violence swearing and the gonads gym scene and you got yourself the greatest animated movie of the 2000's in my personal opinion.
Back then, I did watch the Ozzy & Drix series before I knew Osmosis Jones (movie) and I didn't know that they had a movie (which was set before Ozzy & Drix, and an adult guy named Frank instead of a boy named Hector). And I noticed that some of footage in Ozzy & Drix were taken from the Osmosis Jones movie. Also, Ozzy doing his creepy smile from the movie is very very creepy.
I haven't seen Inside Out but knowing it's a Pixar film that means there's probably a lot of flaws in it that people missed because it tug on their heart strings. Same thing happened with Toy Story 3, you'll have to wait a while until you see the actual flaws. Doesn't mean it'll be shitty, just overrated as hell like most Pixar films. Osmosis Jones as a concept is solid, the animated scenes were good and while the buddy cop tropes are generic, it's at least not boring to watch. The live action scenes are suppose to create tension (especially at the end when Frank is literally dying) but he's such an unlikable character that you don't really care whether or not he dies. Take away the live action scenes and it's a good film that needed more time to explain the backstory (which could of been added if the live action scenes were reduced). I agree with Rob, it should be remade because the idea as a whole is solid. After seeing the success with Inside Out and Warner Bros. going back to making animated movies with The Lego Movie (use that team for OJ, and you got a movie that rivals Inside Out in quality).
I honestly thought this movie was just some sort of TV cartoon as kid since I only saw bits and pieces of bit and never saw the live action bits... Finally seeing it was a movie the whole time makes me kinda under appreciate it for all the things it could've done without the live action bits.
It's my understanding that Jones was in charge of Bill before the vomit incident, but then the vomit thing happened and was out of his control, getting him removed from his position and somebody far less competent was put in charge.
Totally agree with them and the review. I remember watching this film when I was younger and basically fast forwarding past most of the live action scenes because I wanted to get back to inside the body.
I grew up watching the spin-off cartoon, one day my sister teacher passed watching Osmosis Jones as homework, she was really young, and we watched it, I thought it was so bad, gros, and disgusting that my brain made me the favor of complete forgeting about it until you passed this review
My favorite part in the movie is when the mayor or whatever he was, was getting an interview you see a statue depicting a sperm with the plaque "our founder"
When they were talking about developing the villain more, it kind of reminded me that he does have a somewhat interesting motivation: he obsessed with making it into the medical books and breaking records for his fatalities, and he even keeps trophies. It was glazed over in the review, but that glowing chain he carries is actually pieces of his victim's brains, which is what he steals to kill the host. It's both badass and really, REALLY morbid, especially for a Family Picture™. It would be kind of cool to see that expanded on more, and maybe find out WHY he's so obsessed with it, or even where he came from and what kind of virus he is. That, or just more badass scenes of him being menacing and giving kids nightmares for years to come. I'm not picky.
I remember watching the tv show dubed to Hungarian, and man, Ozzy had the hottest voice ever. The guy later dubbed Roy Mustang from FMA. I love him. And I have fund memories of that TV show. I thought the movie was okay, the live action bits were unnecessary.
The villain Thrax was actually a pretty cool villain if you ask me. Love his design and kickass voice performance by Mr. Fishburne.
Agreed. He’s honestly one of the best parts of the movie, in my opinion.
My favorite part of this movie would probably be the villain. I thought his entrance was pretty awesome, despite being 'a Family Picture.' And he even seemed rather intimidating.
***** "I'm Contagious!!"
Thrax scared the bejeezus out of me as a kid.
I ain't gay (I think) but gawd Thrax had a sexy ass voice.
***** ur gey
***** I said "I think" for a reason.
1. 'I would love to see a remake of osmosis jones'
2. 'Inside out shares a creepy amount in common with this film.'
ragmondead Did You See The Osmosis Jones NC?
ragmondead Because Honestly There isnt that much in common
The Cmonster I'm not drawing links between those two sentences, I am just putting them out there.
ragmondead THINGS THAT INSIDE OUT HAS IN COMMON WITH OSMOSIS JONES:
- there is a "control center" of sorts in the brain (but to be fair, in Inside Out, the control center is operated by Riley's five emotions, whereas in Osmosis Jones, it's just governed by some single power-hungry one blowhard dude)
- dreams are treated like movies (but Inside Out additionally delves into the process of how dreams are born, comparing it to the way a movie is staged, rehearsed and produced)
- the subconscious is depicted as a strange, surreal, confusing, frightening place (but honestly, is there really any other way to depict the subconscious other than by making it scary and confusing?)
So... three things. Inside Out has three things in common with Osmosis Jones. And honestly, all of these similarities could very well be coincidental.
zimshowfan Also They Are just ideas. Not story or characters. Do you know how many people get the same idea for a similar topic?
You guys should check out the Ozzy & Drix spin-off show from this movie, it was really creative and well done, no Farrelly Brothers Live-Action Scenes, and Tim Curry was the voice of a few of the villains!
***** agreed it's really good in my opinion
Torterra Questions that we do not need answered. =P
Torterra When I was a kid I just thought of it as like an alternate reality lol
Torterra
Not sure if sarcastic.
Torterra
If you're not, alternate realities _do_ indeed make sense. It's a POV.
i remember watching this as a kid and sadly sighing every time a live action scene came on. like the kind of sigh you give when you're watching a great movie and it cuts to commercials
lucipurr___ You know something is bad when it makes you sigh as a kid.
+Thomas Mason but they are important to story as a hole. ironic how Dough likes inside out because it shows how we need getitive ferlings for the hole but says just leave live action stuff out because is not as good. I liked Shane and Dough doesn't get concept Frank is suposted to a lazy ideot bump .but there's an election going on inside him entire body. and one problem i had with inside out. the problem is settled to easily. know it good to talk about your feelings but as if Anger Discuss and Fear never thought of just saying they wanna go back. if the problem is all psychological how about make it a pretty lame exscuss how cold bonse back ok but doesn't eating rotten euster in first place like that eggs. it wasn't what happened its him. get the picture. and wile their planning weak end trip there's a serial killer planning to kill him from the inside.
Smartass012 O.K. Firstly please take more time with the grammar in your comments that took me about 6 times reading it through to understand what you were saying.
Secondly it's not that seeing live action segments is a bad idea, it's that they were badly done. But more crucially I don't really think you properly understood Inside Out. It wasn't supposed to have a bad guy, or be in any way a realistic interpretation of the mind... but a metaphor for the mental difficulties and stresses of growing up. The "Bad guy" isn't a crackling villain or hardship, it's just life. The difficulty of having to confront the realities of the world as you grow up and come to emotional maturity. That is a far better and more profound moral than anything seen in this film.
Thomas Mason that what bothers me the most so much interesting stuff really going on our brains really are little people or little pieces of going on in Brain entire body. . and worse the them of forgetting every you leaned in childhood no wonder teens are so immature. Remering childhood won't make a child in fact that's how you mature .BingBong could have gotten his own childhood memory island . .I found a video titled if BingBong mad it to headquarters. . And another thing personality was built up on more then just one memory also Small thing you even think about. . And More then Modes behavior also routes for trains of thought places to store memories. . And also nothing happened between age 3&11 no advice favorite movies lines .modesty.
Thomas Mason 3&11 is when parents pay attention so this probably More a depiction of minds of parents rather then actual childs minds . and sense is childhood so perfect I seen kids younger then Riley I my self have had mixed emotions and even go through similar situations highschool is known for. Its selective memory why childhood seems so nice . again based of mind of parents not actual children. . and emotionally neutral memories. Though intellectual aspects of the mind are neglected or at best breeth mention . but I did grow up on Ozzy &Drix. And all the other little people run my Head and body. Some thing smart as. Inside Out mind works closed thing to neurons are under appreciated islands not even inhabitanted
I love this film. I despise the live-action parts but the animated parts are awesome. The villain is one of the most underrated ones in animated history and it was kind of like the Magic School Bus of movies. Only in a way that it saved you from notes and boring documentaries. My science teacher showed us this movie in the middle of our body systems unit and everyone loved it.
Exactly my opinion on this movie heck I think osmosis jones is just as good as iron giant In fact both of those movies are my favorite warner bros animated movies it's just the live action that sucked so if you want to watch osmosis jones skip the live action scenes.
Emma Seibert WHEN DID OZZY AND DRIX GO INTO SPACE?
Scott Sandler They didn't go into space. I meant that it saved you from having a boring school day!
+Emma Seibert My science teacher also showed this movie back in the day lol. It was better than regular class so that's why it guaranteed everyone basically liked it lol.
I honestly wish the original creator was allowed to revisit the film and remove all the cringy Bill Murray moments and make it closer to his vision.
If that were to happen I would definitely like this film.
i remember the cartoon, ozzy and drix. that was a good show
Considering it killed the worst parts of the movie yeah the animated series was a big improvement of the movie
Zettabeam62 most definitely
lunarraythefox Me Too! And It Didn't Have Live Action At All. It Was 100% Animated.
flamewingman150 i had never seen episode 1. i always thought they were just like "hey, let's put them in hector instead and not explain how"
lunarraythefox but it was like what they mentioned in the movie,but changed a bit,he ggot sucked out by that mosquito
I used to dislike the movie for one reason: disgusting scenes and I don't mean disgusting as bad... I mean literally disgusting and gross... the exploding zit, eating an egg that had been in a monkey's mouth, vomiting and showing what's in his mouth that killed that movie for me... it's just me... I can't stand gross out comedies
That's the main reason I can't stand this movie.
Rebecca Bourque did they write an article in the newspaper about you vomiting? :-) (like in the movie)
Because all of the live action scenes sucked
Understandable, it's hard to enjoy something that makes you feel nauseous.
I thought the pimple pop was amazing...But I liked gore type stuff.
Osmosis Jones:
The Animated Parts: okay.
The Live-Action Parts: utter, unwatchable crap.
Animated Parts-5/10
Live Action Parts-1/10
The Live Action Parts Are Infested With Sudo Wokeness and terrible Bill Murray Comedy,Frank Is A Very Terrible Character With No Redeeming Qualities,His Daughter Is Empty And I could give one shit,his brother is a terrible character and every single aspect of the live action parts blow,I mean I Love Bill Murray But This is one of his worst performances,the animated parts are filled with cop cliches and bad jokes but overall,it's fine.
Osmosis Jones may have its flaws, but design and animation are awesome.
All the cells, viruses and other little inhabitants of the human body look like freakin' cool aliens! If you replace any of the pirates from Treasure Planet with Thrax, nobody will say that he looks out of place ;)
With the cop cliche thing, I feel like a lot of creators and even viewers try to defend that sort of thing by saying "Oh it's a parody/satire. They're fully aware of how dumb it is!" Newsflash: just having cliches with nothing done to subvert or make fun of them in anyway does NOT make it satire. If you want a perfect example of how to parody cliches look at The Incredibles.
First Frozone talks about how an old villain of his started monologuing when he could have easily killed him, pointing out how dumb that particular cliche is. Later, Syndrome starts monologuing to Mr. Incredible when, again, he can easily kill him. Instead of just having him go on like most movies would do, Mr Incredible actually tries to take advantage of the situation by attacking him, inciting Syndrome to shout "You sly dog! You got me monologuing!" THAT'S how you parody a cliche!
***** I usually get those words confused, which is why I included them both. Thank you! But my point obviously still stands. And yeah, I agree with that. Disney was thrashed in that movie XD
+roarshach13 The tropes are being parodied on the grounds of the whole premise of them being in a human body. Presenting the cop/crime genres in the context of white blood cell cops trying to stop infectious criminals counts as the genre being parodied.
Not everything has to be meta fourth wall breaking jokes in order to be parodies, honestly these days breaking the fourth wall feels like the easiest (and therefore cheapest) way to make writing seem clever.
And no, I'm not saying the Incredibles was a bad film. And hell, even that played it's superhero/spy fiction tropes pretty straight from time to time. For example I don't recall any meta jokes about how Syndrome's base was in a volcano on a secluded island, they just put it there because it simply suited that genre of film.
I really liked this movie as a kid, but I HATED the live action parts. They were so uninteresting and just stupid that I couldn't stand them. At least they were only a few minutes long each but I really hated it anyways. Animated parts, sure the cop cliches were pointless but the animation, Thrax, and the presentation of how the human body worked on the inside I loved. Haven't seen the movie in probably a decade but from what I saw in the review, I'll still like the animated parts, and still hate the live-action parts.
If the live-action parts were used as a vessel for the animated part's story as opposed to trying to be its own thing I think the movie would've been much better.
For those wondering what the movie they're hinting at in the beginning of this movie, it's the live-turd Garfield movie. -_-
TheDreweMaster Thanks for spoiling the suprise.
Thanks for explaining : )
I never knew this movie EXISTED! I grew up watching Ozzy & Drix
PWLG UnicornLPer ... you watched that without knowing it was based on a movie!? ... that's like me being a fan of the Beetlejuice TV show on FOX without ever knowing there's a movie. :D
andrewkful if u look at the normal video u will see that nearly all off the ppl there knew about the tv show but not the movie me included the show is good the movie from what i saw is meh
PWLG UnicornLPer That's like being a fan of the Ghostbusters cartoon without knowing it's based on a movie.
Darth Sibistine
Hell in those days more kids watched the TV because it was right there in their homes above going to the movies.
funny thing about Ghostbusters, I never watched the cartoon, but the movie is my all time favorite movie
Am I the only one who doesn't think Inside Out was a rip-off of Osmosis Jones? The movie only has THREE things in common, and it's all COMPLETELY coincidental.
Sean Johnson no, there are people who haven't seen osmosis jones, so there's those people. otherwise no.
ZomifiedHam It's not a rip-off, it has things in common, there's a difference. It happens inside of someone and some elements are similar, but apart from that, the story, the atmosphere, the characters etc. are completely different.
On the one hand you have a cops movie about defeating an evil disease trying to kill their owner, on the other side an emotional movie about a little girl who is going through a hard time and who needs to learn to accept her own feelings, even when they're not happy and joyful. Where's the rip-off? Ah yes, they're both inside of the human body, that definitely counts as a "total rip-off".
CaptJosmy i see your terrible argument. if people ripped off plotlines, landscapes, setpieces AND characters off of things so willy-nilly people would call them out more often. and nobody wants to be called out.
some scenes are similar, but not enough to say the whole plot is similar, some set pieces are VERY GODDAMNED SIMILAR but not enough to say the art style as a whole was similar. some of the places were not the same concept, but it was still the same exact landscape, and both of them had really basic archetypes for characters.
nothing is coincidental, being inside a body is what these movies are about, one did it first and inspired another group to do the same idea differently. these movies are both great. (except for the live action.)
ZomifiedHam "i see your terrible argument" that honestly sounds like the words of someone who doesn't see nor wants to see the argument.
I still can't see it as a rip-off. That's like saying "this has space and aliens? STAR WARS RIP-OFF" even though the story and the characters and the atmosphere is different. Because, again, those elements are very different in both movies.
That this movie INSPIRED THEM I can accept (if it's true, I don't know) That it was a rip-off, no. There's a huge difference.
Plus, how can you call it a rip-off if you say the movie is great? The core of the rip-off is that it's bad; at least way worse than the original. That's absolutely not the case here. I won't say one is better, that depends on your taste I guess, but you can't say it's a rip-off when it's that good.
CaptJosmy thats because i don't want to see the argument.
you see rip-offs as exclusively bad, so to you a good rip-off clearly cant exist, so you bunch up rip-offs as bad and good movies as original.
arguing with someone who cant figure that out is like trying to tell a bird to swim. some inherently know whats going on, others drown in their ignorance.
i dont want to argue with you because i wanted to have fun here, and it makes me sad to argue with you.
When I was in 8th grade (the second time) I had this great biology teacher. The guy was like Miz Frizzle with low budget magic. At one point we were studying the human body and he had us do an assignment where we were to explain the circulation of the blood cell. Which we had gone over thoroughly.
I'd seen this movie so many times with my family I just decided to use the concept for this with a female BBall player, street racing, and a blood cell named Zoey.
Spent 2-3 days on it. And it landed on a cliffhanger but I apparently had the one of the best story in class.
But that's because everyone else was doing "Did you kids know?" And Magic School bus rip offs. And I believe he holds a copy of it to this day.
I know I'm very late, but do you still have a picture or a copy of it online?
I bet Osmosis Jones would make a better movie without the live action segments and if it's not entirely focused as a cop movie, but rather a multi-role movie with different unique micro-organisms for main characters with different roles to do with the body who all get entangled in the same adventure of saving the human body from Thrax and his gang.
In the animation show, I remember this one episode TO THIS DAY where the kid they switched to for the show was being peer pressured to smoke and smoke germ entered the brain to try and make him addicted but then the girl that the kid had a crush on (who didn't like smoking) over rode his addiction....it was pretty cool and I applaud it for its bold stance.
Have you heard of Ozzy and Drix it's a fully animated TV series with most of the animated characters. I used to watch it when I was younger and I remember it being pretty good. Check it out :)
Variety Fox I Remember It Too. But The Movie Had A Mix Of Animation & Live Action, But The TV Series Didn't.
And Ozzy Was Voiced By Static Shock's Voice Actor In The Series While He Was Voiced By Chris Rock In The Movie.
gamefan6219 And Drix was voiced by Jeff Bennett, another ubiquitous pro VA, probably best known for Johnny Bravo
And it only had 3 characters from the film Osmosis Jones, Drix and Frank and even then Frank was only in it for a few seconds and a brief cameo in the Salmonella episode
It was mediocre.
Says bobs burgers
References archer
I don't care, they're the same person
Yes he goes from looking like a fat family man to a sexist secret spy WORKS FOR SOME REASON
Doopcoop Whoop Wasn't there an episode of Archer where it showed him as Bob?
Crazyman9971 yeah he lost his memory
Doopcoop Whoop Archer isn't really sexist. He's gotten better as the seasons continued, and now he has a baby with Lana, and trying his best not to cheat on her, shown when his coworkers tried to make them break up by sending his cyborg girlfriend to his house and he sent her away. He isn't perfect, but at least he is trying, and he doesn't say woman cant do stuff, he's just...really into sex for some reason. I also probably shouldn't even watch the show, being sixteen, but it doesn't bother me.
Mistgaming that's a huge chunk of spoilers
They should at least mention the Osmosis Jones cartoon :\ it was great at teaching kids about health and how our bodies work in a really fun and interesting way.
Osmosis Jones was so strange that for most of my life I thought it was a weird dream that I had. I think I saw one of the episodes of the TV show too which added to my confusion. But yeah, I really thought it was a dream for like years, until I watched it in my high school bio class.
Actually, wasn't it Jones that caused Frank to throw up? He spotted the oyster germ and hit the throw up button to get rid of it.
Yep that is true
The animated part actually got a tv-show on cartoon network called: Ozzy and Drix.
It is a nostalgic show for me that I liked in Norwegian, don't know how it is in English.
But since you we're interested in the animated portian check it out, who knows you might like it ;)
"it was originally going to be 5 to 10 minutes of live action and then the rest was all animated"...so in terms of animation it was going to be like bolto? and for those of you don't know about bolto just give it a google. as a child i thought it was awesome but now i just think it's....okay. i don't consider it to be a grand masterpiece but i can get through it just fine
The only thing that comes up is Balto
I'm just gonna say it, in hindsight, (I saw this film, in parts, like once), there are essentially 2-3 good parts about this film.
1, David High Pierce, (he was good as Slim in Bug's Life and also perhaps here)
2, Thrax, (Laurence Fishburne's performance making it even better).
3, the animated sections, in just the animation in short.
Reminds me of Fairly Odd Parents when they go to Kidney World and meet Walt Kidney.
If there was a sequel, I'd want Thrax to come back. It could be a bit more focused on him.
Do real thoughts on Doug's 1st moive, please
I hate the comparison's between Osmosis Jones and Inside Out.
Really, they are only made because people are so fixated on the minor similarities that they don't notice the major differences.
Face it, haters. Inside Out was a good film.
Osmosis Jones and Inside Out are painfully different, it's like the people who compares A Bug's Life with Antz and The Book Of Life and Coco not realizing their differences
Just in case you guys didn't know, they actually did a completely animated series based on this film. I remember watching it as a kid, but can't remember actual episodes.
Here's a pitch.
This movie produced by Spielberg and directed by Bluth
I assumed he started acting this way when the current mayor took office.
I really hope one day someone will remake this movie, keep the villain if they can get a good voice actor for him.
OR, have the protagonist Human be a possible Patient Zero for a new virus no one has heard of, and have an all out war inside the body
As a child, I was disappointed by the lack of water moving from areas of high concentration to lower concentration in this movie.
I wonder how many heads your comment flew over...
Of the aspects of the movie that had the most potential, I'd have to say Thrax tops the list for me. Interesting, terrifying villain that still occasionally keeps me up at night or even gives me nightmares. I was a disease-obsessed kid,so Thrax really struck a chord with me.
I agree with Rob - Osmosis Jones does deserve a remake, but not as a movie; make it a cartoon series. Plenty of famous movies have been made into cartoons, and sometimes the results are pretty awesome.
D Vass
There's already a TV show based on this movie.
***** Maybe so, but I never heard of it until now.
D Vass you should watch the tv series then, it's called Ozzy and Drix. It's not the best cartoon out there but it is pretty decent and it's not that long with only 26 episodes. Definitely a good watch in my opinion
I'm surprised the cartoon show lasted as long as it did. Leukocytes only live for 4 days.
They already did it turn out to be an anime it's called cells at work
Really starting to miss the real thoughts videos. In high school I took a work study job where they paid me to work as an assistant janitor for the school, and I would listen to these videos while I was working.
Maybe they'll come back after the pandemic ends....
It WAS AWESOME to have Morpheus in on THIS!!!😎
... I like the movie much more than Doug. That's still not saying a whole lot.
I really like this move, but holy shit that song in "The Zit" by Kidney Rock/Kid Rock. Let me post some small snippet of lyrics from that song here.
"like 'em underage see. Some say that's statutory. But I say it's mandatory"
My God "Kidney Rock" is a stupid pun. Even Sans wouldn't go with that one.
I personally only ever watch the animated parts and just skip the live action bits.
Thrax is one of my favorite villains. Its interesting that they made Anthrax a villain. The symptoms are similar and also, Thrax acts like a man made virus. Normal ones usually try to replicate and survive which ultimately results in the death of the host, Thrax however doesn't really seem to mind about his personal safety that much aside from killing as many people as possible.
I saw Osmosis Jones in the theater, but haven't seen it since. I seem to remember liking it enough. Was it a perfect film? No, but it wasn't terrible. The animation was great and the live action was Bill Murray and Chris Elliott. I'd watch Bill Murray and Chris Elliott read from a book of cliches.
I wanted to see this movie as a kid but never got you but I did see the TV show that ran on Cartoon Network and it was amazing
As much as I like Mr. Walker is material, I think he gets a little too worked up when a movie pulls cliches. As an aspiring composer and wannabe filmmaker, one thing I've come to learn is that there really isn't anything new under the Sun. The Bible itself says so. therefore, I'm more concerned whether or not a movie pulls off the cliches well. And in Osmosis Jones, they're pulled off reasonably well because the voice actors do such a good job. I think more movie critics who are always talking about originality need to read the book "Steal Like an Artist", which clearly demonstrates that every good idea is a warped form of something else.
They should also consider a quotation from David O. Russell: "Nothing is a cliche if you're doing it from the heart". And in my opinion, they did the animated portion of Osmosis Jones from the heart. Too bad I can't say the same for the live-action portion, though.
I personally get to know film because I saw tv show. "Ozzy & Drix" it was 100% animated tv series and it was pretty cool. At least was back then -idk how it holds up after years
Thrax is the only reason to watch this.
Plus the animation is gorgeous to look at.
has critic looked up the lyrics for the songs playing at the zit? those lyrics should've got it higher than pg
For one second, I thought Rob had an Anatomy Park t-shirt hidden there. I was waiting for him to just show it off! XD
It goes really well for this movie actually! (For people that don't know what I'm talking about, see Anatomy Park from Rick and Morty)
I enjoy the movie mostly because puns don't bother me unless the puns are forced and sometimes they were in this movie. This is the kind of movie that I don't have to think through. It's something where I can come back from work and relax to.
Also remember that Star Wars Kid's life was ruined by that video becoming viral so imagine how it would have affected Frank when it was on the Today Show causing to lose his job while he was most likely in mourning. Maybe you need to look at the Frank character differently.
have you seen the cartoon series ?
i haven't watched in a while, but i remember it being really good
Ash Williams well the took out the murray parts and actually put it in the set of a school boy,i think middle school
Ash Williams and i don't think many people remember it,it was so low on the radar
Axel Kannibal its weird that so many people dont know about it, it started in WB kids then moved to CN, and it was everywhere during the commercials
yea but it wasn't around long,it only had 19 episodes
thats true,
I really enjoyed this movie. Obviously, I preferred the cartoon parts but I didn't really mind that live action that much. I thought the villain was pretty awesome, it had a great design and voice and it was pretty creepy how he was working his way through different people, killing them quicker each time. The funniest part is where he gets trapped in the sub concious and when he escapes goes 'this guy was sick before I got here'
I saw this when i was still visiting my dad on the weekends so REALLY young. I loved this movie back then probably cause i was around ten and wasn't big into movies back then.
Also, I guess you're supposed to feel sad when Frank is dying because for the cells, it's the equivalent of a city burning down. It's yet another example of the animated portions actually making us care and the live action portions not. And even with the live action taking up a quarter of the run time, Thrax is still one of my favorite villains.
Wasn't there an animated spinoff of this movie?
Cat in the Hat is a guilty pleasure for me I know it's a bad movie in fact it's painfully obvious but part of me still find it funny.
I never saw the movie but I watched the show they had on Cartoon Network all the time...i'd like to see Doug do a "Was That Real" segment on the show
Please do "Real Thoughts on 'Once Upon a Forest'"!
funnily enough what kinda gets me is how antrax is in the film how you kill the one viral particle and SUDDENLY he gets better, when in reality thrax would be multiplying and making copies, causing havoc all over at the same time
you know normally I don't do nistolga but good shows like this deserve to be remembered.
This movie was a guilty pleasure of mine for a long time. Still kinda is. It's not a good movie, sure, but I enjoyed it for the most part. Even the live action parts weren't that bad.
Could Doug and Rob do a "Real Thoughts" on Ghost Dad? That's one of my favorite NC reviews! :D
Good analysis. Though, I have to disagree with them on Thrax. In my opinion, I'll take him over any Disney villain any day.
I can't believe all these comments on this video and yesterday's not knowing the movie existed but being familiar with _Ozzy & Drix_. I feel like I've entered a parallel universe here. It's not a case of people just being too young to remember the movie since the show premiered almost exactly a year after the movie and only ran for two 13-episode seasons on the Kid's WB block before being cancelled in mid-2004. The movie ended up tanking at the box office (it was another in a string of expensive failures that led to Warner Bros.' decision to finally shutter their Feature Animation division in 2004) but there was a huge marketing push before it premiered in theaters, so it's surprising to hear that people don't remember it. The show wasn't exactly a big hit either.
I remember seeing half of the film on Cartoon Network... And I literally tuned into it right at the popping zit scene. I still remember being confused as hell (since I haven't seen it beforehand).
"No, I don't think we need to dig up the Garbage Pail Kids movie again..."
...I am so glad you're not aware that they're making another Garbage Pail Kids movie. I'd hate to see what your reaction would be if you WERE aware. That, or the fact that there was a GPK cartoon series that never made it to the US.
They're making another one?! No! That's not true! That's impossible!
The Shady Reviewer Yep. It's likely to be a CGI cartoon movie. And the GPK cartoon has officially made my review hitlist.
Archer Slam-BAM NOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO! (
The Shady Reviewer The best way I can describe the GPK cartoon is if you take the craziest show you've ever seen and make it fifty times crazier, you've got the GPK cartoon. And, unlike most other cartoons that aim for that level of insanity, this one...kinda...works.
Archer Slam-BAM Interesting.
They're actually a scene where they see frank with a mirror scene that was cut because it had Farley bros stupidity in it
You two look so awkward sitting in front of the camera like this.
Sit in some comphy chairs, don't stare at the camera, have a conversation between eachother, and you won't be so creepy.
I have to agree with both you and Rob about the animated parts of this movie. I still like watching this every now and then even though some of the gross humor I'm not that much into. However, I will admit that if they did put more animation into it and not so much live action this really could have been a great movie. Also, I loved Thrax as a villain (even if he didn't say much). He had a cool design, a great menacing voice and a pretty wicked scheme. And I loved Ozzy (Osmosis Jones) as a hero character because he did have faults we could understand and some great moments.
I still like this movie and its a fun one~ and its a really an underrated movie
and it was good enough to spawn a spin-off TV series.
Remake? Okay, agreed. CG? FUCK NO!
Ozzy and Drix was the show I watched. I didnt know they had a movie
I still for some reason think Thrax is a great villain with or without development, Because all the stuff he does is great.
Garbage Pail Kids remake directed by Uwe Boll, starring Matthew Broderick, and music by Randy Newman. I think that's how to make it any worse than the original for Doug.
8:13 - talking about Tamara's opinion on the animated vs live-action segments.
Would love to see you do a Nostalgia Critic and Real Thoughts on Caddyshack sometime.
get well soon Rob :'(
If someone does a cop cliche movie, they could do something where like if the cop gets fired, they immediately join the rival police (not the villain, just those cocky people like in Anchorman 2) in order to finish the job of beating the antagonist. I hope Zootopia doesn't mess this up :(
Both Inside Out and Osmosis Jones share some similarties but I think Osmosis Jones was more about the body and its funtions and Inside Out was about the brain. Love both movies though.
I always assumed Frank's change in his health was gradual and was there for quite some time as he willingly ate the oyster.
I heard the movie was originally supposed to be pg-14 but then the animators found out the Farley Brothers (or how ever you spell their name) were doing the live action so they gave up half way and made the jokes a bit dumber because they knew they couldn't compensate for the stupid live action.
The show was actually really good and had good information for kids about being healthy.
Even though that i like this movie, they have good points. All the gross-out stuff didn't really affect me except the science fair scene. If the farley brothers would've stuck with the original concepts, it would've been more amazing as it is and without live action sequences being boring and "sluggish". Plus the film should've been PG-13 as it was suppose to before the final cut.
Yes here's what the movie should have been make it about 5-10 minutes of live action 90 minutes of animation, make the movie a adult animated PG-13 comedy like have all the violence swearing and the gonads gym scene and you got yourself the greatest animated movie of the 2000's in my personal opinion.
I liked the animation parts
Are you still doing Steven Universe vlogs?
Back then, I did watch the Ozzy & Drix series before I knew Osmosis Jones (movie) and I didn't know that they had a movie (which was set before Ozzy & Drix, and an adult guy named Frank instead of a boy named Hector). And I noticed that some of footage in Ozzy & Drix were taken from the Osmosis Jones movie.
Also, Ozzy doing his creepy smile from the movie is very very creepy.
Think you could do one of these for Felix the Cat: The Movie or for Foodfight?
there was some great voice acting from David Hyde Pierce, William Shatner and Laurence Fishburne in this movie
I haven't seen Inside Out but knowing it's a Pixar film that means there's probably a lot of flaws in it that people missed because it tug on their heart strings. Same thing happened with Toy Story 3, you'll have to wait a while until you see the actual flaws. Doesn't mean it'll be shitty, just overrated as hell like most Pixar films.
Osmosis Jones as a concept is solid, the animated scenes were good and while the buddy cop tropes are generic, it's at least not boring to watch. The live action scenes are suppose to create tension (especially at the end when Frank is literally dying) but he's such an unlikable character that you don't really care whether or not he dies. Take away the live action scenes and it's a good film that needed more time to explain the backstory (which could of been added if the live action scenes were reduced). I agree with Rob, it should be remade because the idea as a whole is solid. After seeing the success with Inside Out and Warner Bros. going back to making animated movies with The Lego Movie (use that team for OJ, and you got a movie that rivals Inside Out in quality).
Imperial Storm Please see the movie it really doesn't have many flaws please, watch the sibling rivalry on inside out these guys did.
guys on TH-cam I think Osmosis Jones the movie was the pilot of the TV Series when they rename it Ozzy and Drix
I honestly thought this movie was just some sort of TV cartoon as kid since I only saw bits and pieces of bit and never saw the live action bits... Finally seeing it was a movie the whole time makes me kinda under appreciate it for all the things it could've done without the live action bits.
Is your next review Flintstones 2? Cause you guys have the look I get when I bump into a clip from that movie.
what do you think of the TV series?
It's my understanding that Jones was in charge of Bill before the vomit incident, but then the vomit thing happened and was out of his control, getting him removed from his position and somebody far less competent was put in charge.
Totally agree with them and the review. I remember watching this film when I was younger and basically fast forwarding past most of the live action scenes because I wanted to get back to inside the body.
I grew up watching the spin-off cartoon, one day my sister teacher passed watching Osmosis Jones as homework, she was really young, and we watched it, I thought it was so bad, gros, and disgusting that my brain made me the favor of complete forgeting about it until you passed this review
My favorite part in the movie is when the mayor or whatever he was, was getting an interview you see a statue depicting a sperm with the plaque "our founder"
Apparently, Kid Rock recorded a song just for this movie's soundtrack. He sings about how he likes underage ladies.
When they were talking about developing the villain more, it kind of reminded me that he does have a somewhat interesting motivation: he obsessed with making it into the medical books and breaking records for his fatalities, and he even keeps trophies. It was glazed over in the review, but that glowing chain he carries is actually pieces of his victim's brains, which is what he steals to kill the host. It's both badass and really, REALLY morbid, especially for a Family Picture™. It would be kind of cool to see that expanded on more, and maybe find out WHY he's so obsessed with it, or even where he came from and what kind of virus he is.
