I just noticed your pitchfork is a tuning fork.
I also just noticed that!
Omg, your comment just made me notice that
Huh. Neat.
This is *Musical* Hell, after all.
Me too
"Nobody wants to see worm ta-tas. NOBODY."
As... someone who's been taking commissions from niche parts of the furry community for about three years now...
You'd be surprised...
Question… how do you feel about drawing that stuff? And does it pay will for commissions? I’m trying to be a digital artists sooo I’m curious
Am I the only one who completely lost it when diva started listing all the different names for boobs and worm in the same sentence 😂
Jan Cunningham Yeah Now THAT'S comedy gold. Unlike the attempted jokes in the actual film.
It's like a dream story I read about once on r/Dreams, only the boobs were in the worm and not vice versa. Also, the worms weren't giant pimples filled with mega milks.
I didn’t even know that many synonyms existed 😂
3:47 Okay, this needs an explanation. Other than Gloria and Random Irrelevant Plot-Omissible Female Friend (or "ripoff" for short), there are literally no girl worms in the audience. I mean, he's a crooner, right? That's like having a Justin Bieber concert being sold out to gym rats and frat boys, as in, _that shit just don't happen._
I can't believe a kids movie about dancing worms had not one, but two gay panic jokes.
Well...the same joke, toldtwice.
I can't believe a kid's movie about dancing worm even exists. The very premise offends my sensibilities; I don't need any more reason to be offended than that.
Especially as they're playing music from a genre that was created primarily by black and gay artists.
11:54 No, wait! Go back to the Wreck it Ralph clip! I want to see GOOD CG animation!
4:16
Hades- _"WHAT. ARE. THOOOOOOOOSE?!"_
Actually, he just says "What, are, those??"
@@ilikecurry2345 I got twenty-four hours to get rid of this *BOZO*, or the entire scheme I've been setting up for 18 years goes up in smoke, and YOU... ARE WEARING... HIS MERCHANDISE??????????
24:00
But wait, why doesn't Tony know the words to the song? I can buy him not being able to sing, but in order to lip-sync you need to know the F***ING WORDS!
I adore this review, from the short yet funny way you two get together to review this to the hilarious jokes to the great reviewer chemistry. And by that I mean Archer and Diva kept the jokes coming and worked off each other well without having to use bad cutaway arguments constantly, resulting in a review that stands on its own.
Actually having a racism allegory makes a lot of sense in this movie's case as they're performing a genre of music whose downfall has been attributed to the racism and homophobia of the Reagan years. In a better movie having a bunch of outcast worms perform Disco (a genre that was created and popularized by black and gay artists) could make for a very strong real world allegory about bigotry. But apparently the people who made this movie were way more interested in worm boobs.
I would love to see all the bugs in this movie get eaten by birds.
I awkwardly laughed at the Village People worms because of how wtf and odd it is.This movie took my sanity.
Wait it was a gay panic joke and the worm's gay ? What ?
River Robson I thought he was suffering from PTSD.
@@redactedredacted6656 Liking Disco and being gay are the same thing in that worm universe apparently.
Yeah that's about the same thing though this movie didn't take my sanity you that when away years ago. Yeah it's the last thing you would have seen coming with the character hates disco you can the gag be just get angry or something and know he is a weird gay panic or P TSD based gag I'd say leaning towards gay panic because of how the leather One seems to keep flirting with him in these brief little gags.
The people that made Disco Worms, later made Primates of the Carbbean, another musical that I personally think is worse, you should review it.
Bruno, el niño rata a.k.a. vicky labor Oh dear the title alone sounds like Pirates of the Caribbean mixed with Planet of the apes. Does it have anything to do with either of the former?
Bunnyboy King I have seen it it’s very similar to that... but even worse.
@@bunnyboyking5215 From what I've seen, the title could just be a pun and the only thing that makes it make sense is the seafaring monkeys.
Apparently it's not a French movie, but a Danish one. The original title is 'Disco Ormene'.
I'm guessing Ormene means Worms.
Yep.
@@DrGregoryHouseIT Called it. Although I'm one year late.
-whispers in the animator's ears- hey...h...hey...makers of Disco Worms...you do know that...uh...-screams at top of lungs at same distance- WORMS ARE ALL ASEXUAL, YOU IDIOTS! THEY DON'T HAVE MOMS, DADS, OR GENDERS!
Come on, even bad movies deserve artistic license.
ijfharvey not when it gives WORMS boobs.
David Spring I didn't know that but yeah Worms with boobs is just wrong😰
so are Sponges but Spongebob does that anyways.
@@munromister777 Spongebob was at least good at one point.
"Disco Worms", someone made this movie...
it is official, all funding for movies is nothing more than money laundering for Drug Cartels.
Love this review, just had to see it again.
"Disco Worms" is actually a Danish-German movie. Both of its original titles even translate to "Sunshine Barry & The Disco Worms", which explains the stupid band name that Barry came up with! 😆
17:35 and if you want one that's geared toward kids, you now have Zootopia
Okay, I'm really having trouble believing that's Jane Lynch voicing the girl worm.
Why is your avatar the dvd cover for The Incredibles? I have to know the story behind that choice.
Annie Trinity That's easy, The Incredibles is one of my favorite movies.
I'm just going to pretend she never did this role and put on Wreck it Ralph :)
You can hear it with certain line deliveries. She's REALLY going hard into her nasal voice for Gloria.
I looked up the cast on google,she's in the movie but it doesn't say what part she played
This would make way more sense as an 80s breakdancing movie - they could be awesome at doing...the worm....
That was stupid and you should feel stupid.
Am I the only one who thinks that Barry looks like if Rayman's head fell into a soft-serve ice cream machine? 😕
Cure Hana Well Rayman is French too. Maybe this is Rayman In an alternate worm hell dimension
All the worms look like Rayman grubs made of soft-serve!
They also give me the humans from The Garfield show.
Wait, Jimmy the rock-star worm is voiced by Agent 47? Are we sure this isn't an elaborate setup for an assassination mission? Jimmy _is_ awfully focused on having an axe...
Not only am I confused about the worms with breasts, I'm also confused about the worm with asthma. THEY LIVE UNDER DIRT!
No no no no just no! How did this ever get green lighted? What is Jane Lynch doing in here? She's better than this. The animation is scary. The comedy is…….. *face palm* Also, how dare this film disgraces good disco music.
joyunicycle I agree with everything
Well to be fair Jane windsheim pretty sure the sous before glee started in her career was in something of a slump at the moment
There's such a thing as "good disco music," is that your claim?
I saw Mune, a French film on Netflix that has a great English dub, so there’s definitely no excuse for this monstrosity.
The movie is actually Danish. So, if you want a good-dubbed Danish movie, how about Help! I'm a Fish/A Fish Tale?
@@ilikecurry2345 The Danish are just as horny as the Japanese
13:46 actually that makes it much better because now I can imagine 47 is simply in disguise waiting for the perfect opportunity to kill them
Poor Diva. Someone give her the budget to express her emotions better.
Earth worms are actually vital to life. They're like tiny farmers, revitalizing and tilling up the dirt they live in, leaving rich, airy, nutritious soil in their wake, which means plants and crops are able to grow. You'd think these bugs would show a little more respect.
Trivia: in the italian version Gloria (I think they got your number) is dubbed by an actual singer, Arisa, and her singing is good. Is it bad that it's unfaithful or is it good because at least there is some reprieve from the awfulness?
Love the review, btw. I especially love the 'Worm BAZONGAS (sounds like Sheldon Cooper found out about porn)' sin part.
Gregory House Now I'm trying to figure out how that works in the context of the animation I've seen--does Gloria sing to loud/high and instead of trying to get her to at least dial it back a bit everybody....just kind of avoids the topic?
Either way, I think it's pretty odd that after finding her mojo Gloria is automatically incapable of letting out a glass-shattering screamer to SAVE EVERYBODY'S LIFE.
Musical Hell It's the famous 'Because The Script Says So' syndrome, also known as 'Otherwise the movie will end sooner'itis.. It is mainly found in bad media.
And... I wasn't too phased by the worm tatas, after being scarred by the duck bazoomas in Howard The Duck (am I the only one who wants a comic book movie on this character, at least one that won't make me have nightmares for weeks?).
Gregory House "Duck tits!" Woo-hoo! Yeah, I also hate it when stupid stuff that happens in a movie because the plot says so, not for natural reasons. If you can't come up with a good reason for something happening other than "plot says so" you need to rethink your story.
I'm a fan of the original Howard comic book which bears no resemblance to the movie.
Wait, Arisa. As in, Arisa from A Monster In Paris? SERIOUSLY!?
At the beginning, I thought he was going to say “Let’s open up this can of worms.”
Fun fact: this was not a French film, it's was made in Denmark.
Moral of the story: Nobody wants to see worm bazongas.
Well I like to hope that maybe everything was handled better in the original version.
If there's one thing I've learned from watching massive amounts of anime is that the dub always changes SOMETHING whether it's a good change or a bad one.
**good or bad change.
Even video games do this kind of thing. For instance, did you know that Toads are called "Kinopio" in the Japanese original?
Big. Bones. Big Bones. Worms don't have... bones.
Disco means to me... Rasputin? That was disco, right?
Ra Ra Rasputin, the greatest disco king
That song is never gonna get old
To answer your question, yes.
“If loving worms is stupid, I don’t want to be smart”
“It is, and you can’t be!”
(This made me think of this brilliant community exchange)
I've never heard of disco worms, and I still wish I didn't. However, I think the title of Worst Animated Film Ever should actually go to Where the Dead Go to Die--I can't even look at the thumbnail of Animat's review of the atrocity without covering my eyes it's that disturbing.
harrietamidala1691 Or Diamanda Hagan's.
I agree with you. When I saw the reviews that Diamanda Hagan, AniMat and The Hardcore Kid had done, I've said to myself: "And the Nostalgia Critic thought that Foodfight was the worst animated film ever."
harrietamidala1691 NO! NO! NO! Do NOT mention Anime Otaku Mat ANYWHERE in my visible area!
Agreed. Animat is a tough reviewer for putting up with what happened in that movie, and even more so when he was able to find a way to review it without CZcams taking it down. Not sure how many *SANE* people would want to even look at it.
The #1 Runaway Guys Fan Ok what is your problem with the guy?
You know instead of boobs they could of given the female worms a Clitellum (the band thing that some worms have)
that thing is a feminine orgin for worms, even though most worms on land are hermaphidites... I'm putting way to much thought into this movie....
That is too clever for this movie.
I missed this series. Thanks for the new content!
Jane Lynch just did a Q&A at my college campus, and I almost asked her about Disco Worms
aaaaaaah
-Archer, 2015
Honestly, as much as you don't like the animation in Rock in Rule Diva, you have to admit the animation in that movie is FAR better than this abomination; plus at least Nelvana tried and did their best with the animation
True; my dislike there is more of a personal style preference rather than the effort/quality involved. This movie is both unattractive and shoddy.
Musical Hell It's cool, personally I really enjoy "Rock and Rule" but I get people have different tastes but this.........yeesh this what the folks at Disney, Pixar, and Dreamworks show themselves to get them into the animation process
Nelvana knew exactly what they were doing, and it seems they found some people who actually liked it. Heck if I know why...
Honestly And this probly just speaks to the level Of badd movies I've seen but this actually looks to me character design wise almost on the same level quality as planes you know the pixar film with an actual budget that's probly because I've seen things like where the dead go to die and other horrifyingly Disgusting looking movies
@@MusicalHell I found out that this was a Danish movie for kids
And including *[WHAT THE HELL]* in a kid movie
Yay You're doing The Wiz!!!! My request since Legends of Oz has been fulfilled!!!
***** Yeah, I also thought it should be tried by Musical Hell too. Nostalgic Critic actually took a swing at it, along with Todd in the Shadows as a cross-over (I think The Wiz is actually the earliest film NC has tackled on the show, it being released in 1978). Now it's time for Diva to sink her claws into it. I await with baited breath.
Teeny teeny teeny
You should do more colabs. I always come out laughing at this review.
The designs of the worms looks like rejected children's show characters.
Which is what gives Disco Worms a retarded look.
TVTropes: "as well as how the villain is not only heavily implied to be a paedophile"
Me: Sorry, what?
DAMNIT DENMARK!!!
You made "Help! I'm a Fish" ("A Fish Tale" in the US). You're better than this.
At least there's no worm-boobies.
Are they really…
Are they?
@@ilikecurry2345can’t argue with that
Hey, the "context sensitive door" looks like the "Emergency Glados Shutdown And Cake Dispensary" from portal 2!
wow the gay joke flew right over my head until Diva spelled it out. I thought it was supposed to be some band reference I didn't get like they were all famous metal singers or something he was disappointing by doing disco, or disco singers trying to influence him
Thank you Archer for that "Do wah diddy-diddy dum-diddy-doo" bit late in the review cause sometimes, even with an entertaining reviewer...a movie's stupidity and absurdity can be so BAD...I don't want to watch the review, (this not being one of those cases). You made the review better with that classic bit.
Also: Why the hell is the hair so bouncy?! I mean, I'm a fan of bouncy hair physics as the next gal... *BUT JESUS CHRIST!* HAIR 👏 DOES 👏 NOT 👏 ACT 👏 LIKE 👏 FLUBBER!!
Ayy welcome back from hiatus :D
One of the only slightly big CZcamsrs to review this movie. I used to see this on Netflix back in 2011. I might review the movie soon.
When Barry is in his disco wig I get Celery night fever flashbacks.
For the first time since March 11, 2020, I'm about to rewatch the "Disco Worms" special.
EDIT- 5:37 P.M.: *finishes special 30 minutes later*
This movie was dumber than I remembered it being! 🤦
For some unknown reason, in polish version of this "movie", lyrics to YMCA are changed to "ADHD- always bothering me". Just a strange detail I wanted to add to this mess
My god it's like Lego city undercover with all the movie jokes like from mission impossible 2, the warriors, etc. I only know because I like old movies.
17:13
The best part is that that quote works in every year.
26:12 He should be happy that he didn't have to take the back door, aka by Satan's genitalia.
Jimmy looks like a worm version of Vyvyan from The Young Ones
Come on, King Cryolophosaurus was fine.
As someone who actually loves Disco (yes, really) I'll add one more sin: turning all of these Disco classics into modern pop songs. Why put "Disco" in the title of the movie *or* band, if you're specifically going to de-Disco-fy them?? IMO that's the biggest sin after the worm-tits.
After getting through that slog, I am excited that you are going to tackle the Wiz! I love your thoughts on it. Just a question, will it come on the first Monday in August, or exactly a week later on the 10th?
harrietamidala1691 Barring unforeseen issues, we should be back on our regular schedule next month.
Musical Hell Okay good. I'm glad you've resolved what ever has happened in your life. With the Wiz coming up for next month, I hope it's a return for classic tone-deaf musical stinkers. I wonder if A Chorus Line and Doctor Dolittle are on the horizon. Personally, I would love to see you tackle Sextette, Mae West's final film. The minute I saw Diamonda Hagan's review of it, I thought "Boy, is this a contender for musical hell." Believe it or not, there is actually another Bond actor who is even worse at singing Pierce Bronson--Timothy Dalton. That is saying a lot.
I love the worm blob rant more and more every time I hear it! >:)
*boob
To slightly adjust a Calvin & Hobbes Quote: "WORMS AREN'T BUGS"
Why did you have to cut off Night Waltz? I was getting very caught up in it.
I'm a fan of both MLP and that other cartoon Archer and I never saw that Pegazebra before now. Link to what channel that character is usually on, please?
czcams.com/channels/SoEXa9xC3AGevs38jDxJRg.html
the music xo test was introdused early . so the singing and barry n gloria didnt suddenly come up with a song thing and tony would have known about it since it is his contest.
It's pretty terrible, but I'd put it in the "So bad it's good" category. Like, it's only good if you walk into it with no expectation to be impressed, and you accept that it's too far beneath the lowest level of quality to warrant any intelligent criticism.
20:55
One part of the movie: *"We can be disco stars!"*
5 minutes later: 20:57 *"Crap, we're bait now."*
Only thing I'll ever defend in this review is Yin Yang Yo.
Yeah, the breasts on the worms are uncomfortable to say the least. I do not mind breasts on most anthropomorphic creatures because, well, look at my profile, but on a worm? All the no.
Mabey it's me but after seeing the dance battle of the Netflix movie Sahara, I really wanna see more dancing snakes and the disco worms is one of those movies you know the animators at least had fun thinking of dancing moves for a single long line of a character
10:59 ok I know this is irrelevant to the point here, but there is a reason why there was an elvis reference. It’s because that character is a cryolophosaurus, which was originally dubbed elvisaurus when first discovered because of its head crest. Still a dumb reference though.
11:16
I was hoping that that sentence was going to end with "on fire".
Seriously?! Nobody consulted Earthworm Jim?!
23:29-23:44 Hahahaha! That moment is funnier than any of the jokes in this movie.
"Worm Tatas"
Loved your review Diva! I am excited to see the Wiz! And I just wondered, are you ever going to do Sweeney Todd? I am just wondering because from what I have seen in your Know the Score, you don't seem to care for it that much. I wouldn't blame you though, it's not a good adaptation.
Daniel Vanden Bosch Hard to say. There were parts of it I really liked, and parts where I was really let down.
Musical Hell The Sweeney Todd movie does have a few flaws, but honestly they don't bother me that much. I know things have changed between stage and script, but I still enjoy the movie very much. I rank it among my top 15 favorite musical films (though not in the top five). Like I said earlier on another comments board, I separate the Sweeney Tood musical and its adaptation pretty cleanly so I can enjoy both for what they are respectively in their own mediums.
harrietamidala1691 I think an issue in general with adaptation Sondheim musicals to cinema is the fact that many of them are inherently theatrical and tied to close to the stage. When you look at the four film adaptations of Sondheim's work (Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, A Little Night Music, and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, which I always forget is a Sondheim work), I think Sweeney Todd is the best transfer to film because it has an inherently cinematic plot. Thrillers are common genre in movies, but how many musical-thrillers can you name?
Into the Woods has a better movie soundtrack by a margin, and I do enjoy the movie version, but there are times during the movie where I didn't feel like it completely divorce itself from the stage.
Funny thing...Forum movie was a bit boring for him, not helped by cutting out a lot of the songs (maybe better on stage), but it was a bit of hoot to see Jon Pertwee as a boat trader.
A little Night music, on the other hand...Well, your review says it all.
Wow...I'm not even sure what I just witnessed. Great review, you guys, but boy, do I feel sorry for you having to deal with this...thing.
I used to watch this all the time as kid just to listen to the songs and nothin else
OH GOD. The YMCA scenes are painful.
At least The Producers implements their Village People reference into an actual song.
Which Song is that at the end?
What song is that at the end of the review? It's purdy :D
Buttons "Night Waltz," the overture/opening number to "A Little Night Music" (the whole score is purdy, you should check it out!).
Fun Fact: An instrumental version of this piece plays right before Cinderella leaves the first ball in the film version of "Into the Woods."
Musical Hell
Ooh, thanks for the info Diva, I'll be sure to check it out :)
Disco worms? No, they should have done it with ducks instead!
Say what you will about Can't Stop The Music and Xanadu, but at least they're cheesy enough to be enjoyed ironically. Disco Worms isn't enjoyable in any sense.
19:07 And it was at this moment I realized I had no idea how worms reproduced
Same here. I didn't look up the intercourse part, because I don't want that in my internet history, but they come from these cocoon things.
The movie is also hypocritical when in universe, it says worms would be laughed off stage for being worms, yet The Village People (who were successful enough for at least a one hit wonder) are worms.
Although I got to admit, the Village People YMCA cover here does sound pretty awesome.
OK I'll give you that I have listened to this cover once or twice it's OK.
Yay!
Regarding the rocker worm with the unfunny bouts of gay panic, the irony isn't lost on me that the dude goes hard on the hair metal in an effort to cover up his own liking of disco, especially the unapologetic camp of the Village People. In a far better movie it could've made for an interesting commentary on the phony machismo of the "Disco Sucks" backlash & some of its own internalized homophobia.
But let's be real. The movie with inexplicable Worm Tits was NEVER going to be that clever or nuanced.
4:56 I'm no medical expert, but I've got a mom with asthma and I'm fairly sure that's not how inhalers work. Were they trying for a smoking allegory or something? Cuz if so, FAIL
With all the fuss about the worm tatas, would someone explain how worms put on clothing in the first place?!! And a TIE?!!
😲
I guess the horse forgot he was a Pegasus and can fly
I'm seeing a link to the movie underneath the description.
You're not the only one, pal!
Oh yay I'm not hallucinating....
WHY DOES THIS EXIST
21:44 ...Travis Willingham, that had better NOT be you.
You mean Boom!Knuckles?
The #6 Runaway Guys Fan Yes, although that particular character sounds more like Grog Strongjaw. I looked it up; thankfully, it’s not him.
I remember buying the DVD of this "movie", or if you can call it that. And I gotta say... It's a load of rubbish.
Plus, at 14:31 Tido can't have big bones, because worms don't have bones. If you want to go an alternative, gentler route of saying "you're fat", at least do one that makes sense.
00:09 ITS ON BLUE RAY AND DVD?!? HOW
What was the song at the end?
It's from the opening to A Little Night Music.
