#Bevanfield #Review #PrincessAndThePea - Komedie
"I slept so badly and I'm all in bruises"
"Because of the pea?"
"No, because I fell from the 20 mattresses bed you dumbasses gave me!"
Alternate ending: the princess falls off the mattress and dies
Nice one!
Better plot idea: The prince chooses Bob the construction worker, the queen disapproves and hires an assassin, but the prince is able to sneak Bob a weapon by hiding a derringer under her mattress. And we call it, "The Princess and the Peashooter."
wait a minute......
Bob?
Construction worker?
BOB. THE. BUILDER.
@@steamboatwill3.367 he will build your coffin!
@@steamboatwill3.367 can he fix it? *looks at movie* no he can’t 🤣
@@gracekim25 there are things that even he can't fix.
@@steamboatwill3.367 LOL. I'm legit 100% sure they got the "Bob" joke from Blackadder XD
"Your cousin Prince Charming seems to find a princess nearly every month!"
Well, no wonder Prince Boring can't find any princesses, his cousin's hogging them all!
Is he executing them King Henry style?
@@caucasoidape8838 Henry?! Oh my god!!!
Who knew that the Borings had royal connections? The Bevanfield universe is expanding.
♫I'm Henry VIII I had six sorry wives/some might say I ruined their lives♫
If the goal is to find someone to marry, why is she praising him for going through as many girlfriends as her son?
6:56 Bob seems way too interesting for a Bevanfield character. A busty redhead working in a construction site in olden times, has a sense of humor, has affairs with the prince, i want to hear her story damn it.
"The play was canceled because the queen developed a severe headache ".
Maybe she should stop shaking her head all the time, especially in front of people?
I actually prefer the parody version of this story from "the Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales." There, the prince was so fed up with having to wait for one of these princesses to feel the pea that he replaced the pea with a bowling ball so the next princess could actually feel it, and this nonsense could be over and done with. I highly reccomend it.
You just dragged up so many childhood memories for me you have no idea
I loved that book
I thought of that one too.
Top quality stuff.
God I loved that book.
That was one of my favorite childhood books.
Queen: Did you sleep well?
No, I slept terribly!
Queen: Then you must be a princess!
What? No, I'm not!
Queen: But didn't you notice the pea under the mattress?
What pea? All I noticed was you had me sleeping on a huge pile of mattresses that started wobbling back and forth as I was trying to sleep, then I fell down and broke a few bones!
Queen: Oh...
It's only fitting that an adaption of this story contains almost nothing but padding.
The word padding is actually kinda funny and makes sense, because of the mattresses y’know…
@@dragonslayersworkshop8598 See, it's works like this, there are five seconds of great cinema hidden within the oodles of padding and boredom of this movie. If you can find them, you are a true movie reviewer!
@@shiroamakusa8075 Clearly those five seconds were used for the King eating his slice of toast.
If you've got a different answer that's fine, but I'm quite convinced I've found the proverbial diamond in the rough.
This wasn't even a story to begin with, was it? It's more like a mildly interesting anecdote.
They forgot to put the pea in the cartoon, though.
One of my favorite lines from Rugrats:
"I can feel it when Phill pees through a lot of blankets, does that make me a princess?"
"No, that just makes you both disgusting"
I wonder what happened behind the scenes at the animation department on this one:
"Sorry boss, we can't animate the Princess actually atop the 100 mattresses"
"Well, at least we can animate the Prince standing and walking by himself"
"Nope, we can only animate the Prince with his arm outstretched to hold someone's hand"
"Well then what CAN we animate?!"
"...we can animate the King eating a slice of toast"
"Perfect! Let's get the writer to add that into the script!"
You know what they say "All Bevenfield Animators animate toast!"
"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF YOU'VE HEARD OF HER OR NOT! SHUT UP! MOVE ON" is now gonna be my new favourite forum weapon.
@1 2 ... never
I foresee Phelous getting a ton of use out of that ""Oh", said the prince, totally uninterested" clip
I'm fairly sure he's never gonna use it again
*gasps like Beauty
@@limalepakko6074 **gasp** Just like that "No" from the princess in Aladdin 1 Dollar?!
It's unironically the best clip from Bevanfield.
Nonono! It is a sign of self awareness in the film! He has to be able to use it again if he wants to
"The pea test? alright my queen. But where ever shall we find 'Sir Robert of Kelly' at at this dreadful hour?"
I appreciate the inclusion of a phone in what looks like medieval England. I guess being time travelers is how they got to be king and queen
"There's being polite and there's blindly walking towards your death."
The amount of cartoons and sitcoms this sentence applies to is astounding.
Yikes...
It also applies to SML.
Social anxiety be like "...but which would be less awkward"
I'm pretty sure that Anastasia is medieval Harley Quinn.
@@smb-c3po who
As a kid, I always thought it was a joke... that the nobility are used to luxury and wealth to such an extent that even the slightest thing out of place (like a pea in the mattress), would be enough to completely devastate them.
Certainly makes a lot more sense than other theories.
interesting pfp
"Isn't that where King and Queen Michael live?"
Yes, King Michael and his beloved wife, Mike.
Not to be confused with "Tim, his Wife"
@ladydiskette I figured it was the lazy version of not naming a secondary character at all
it's like when someone says they're:
"Mrs. *insert partners name here", usually a guy name wich is just confusing.
I'm calling it now: the Queen really wanted a girl who she could live vicariously through and is determined to get that through a daughter-in-law; her son is an unobservant loser who keeps bringing home brothel women that his dad's clearly more interested in than his wife.
God, at least Dingo Picture's incompetence and crappiness has an adorable charm to it.....
"All these not-princesses are ssssoooooo stuuuuuupid."
I just can't detach my eyes from the hideous hands of the characters. It's as if aliens skinned them alive and paraded in macabre costumes. Given how not even the mouth are animated, I make this my headcanon: it's a horror story about alien killers trying to human well and make the mankind's lifestyle theirs 👍
I beg to differ, in fact I would argue that I find Bevanfield just as hilarious as Dingo. Of course, that might be partially because Phelous is here to make it significantly easier to swallow.
I want to say it's because they're the betters storytellers. And I mean that too. I watched all the movies Phelous has reviewed on my own, and they have consistently shown to have a MUCH better understanding of character building and pacing than Bevanfield ever did.
Point to Dingo: Dingo isn't boring
"A little later, the Prince fell in love." That is one of the oddest lines of exposition I've ever heard.
With all the inbreeding inherent in royal families it makes perfect sense that paper skin would be something that crops up
Oh hello 👋 😊
Sweet Home Alabama 🎵
Given what I know about Hans Christian Andersen, the story being a dig at high society is the most likely moral of the story; Hans Christian Andersen himself was from a very poor family before he became a famous writer, and a lot of his other stories paint high society in a negative light. There's The Emperor's New Clothes, where a vain emperor is cheated by two con artists and is humiliated by parading around either naked or in his underwear depending on the version, there's Numbskull Jack where the title character's two older brothers, who are the rich family's golden children and have received expensive horses and education, fail to impress the princess, but Numbskull Jack, who had to make due to with an old goat and whatever he found on the way to the castle, wins the princess' heart, there's The Swineherd where the princess is painted as shallow and materialistic for rejecting a songbird and rare flower as courtship gifts because they're real instead of artificial
Edit: I wrote that Numbskull Jack rode a donkey originally, but I remembered wrong; it was a goat
It almost sounds like a dirty joke.
Mmm makes sense 😅
Yeah, there is certainly that aspect to his stories. Don't forget the little match-seller girl who freezes to death while none of the high society snobs help her.
Right, this was always my read of the story: the royalty live in such opulence and comfort that they can't tolerate even the most minor discomfort, so being likewise unable to withstand such trivial problems is proof of royal status.
@@Lost-Lilim That's why the prince wanted a big woman. He wanted someone who could enjoy it rough.
Through half of this video, I was thinking that the story of The Princess and the Pea ended with the prince meeting the woman of his dreams, and determined to make sure he marries her, replaces the pea with something huge, like a boulder or something. So the woman obviously feels it and his parents are none the wiser. It just occurred to me that that was a parody of the story I read years ago.
To me, that parody ending feels like a more fitting way for this tale to resolve
I can create a better version of this story right now while I'm literally taking a dump.
The royal family was too uptight and selfish, the town they ruled over hired a thief to break into the castle and place a single pea under the mattress cover of the young princess, knowing that their delicate skin from doing no labour for themselves would make it impossible for her to sleep.
The next day, the king and queen came down to the town and ordered their finest tailor to weave the highest quality mattress possible for their fair daughter.
The tailor nodded and did as they were told, knowing it would make no difference.
Once the mattress was completed, the royals had their servants place it on top of the current mattress as they were too self indulgent to throw out their property.
As suspected, the new mattress made no difference whatsoever to the princess' sleep and the royals ordered another mattress to be made.
This repeated until the princess' bed reached her chamber ceiling.
As this was starting to cost the tailor more than they were making, they sent a letter to the royal family asking why so many mattresses were being demanded.
The king had his courier return a letter to the tailor saying that the mattresses all had a bump and was uncomfortable for their fair daughter to sleep on.
The tailor sent a letter in reply asking what was causing the bump.
The royal family had their servants dismantle the mattress behemoth and the pea was revealed.
Moral: Don't just try to cover up a problem, discover what is causing it.
I guess you could say you LITERALLY shat out a better story!
I have apparently never seen the original story because the way it was told to me, the girl wasn't a real princess, but she and the prince were in love, so he'd come to her at night to let her know when she was supposed to be having an awful night's sleep so his mom wouldn't suspect anything, and together, they pull one over on her so they can marry.
Once Upon a Matress is actually a pretty good retelling of the story, it's definitely entertaining and has more plot. In that story the whole pea test is just a ploy for the queen to get rid of another potential bride so she can keep her son all to herself so the ridiculousness of it makes some sense.
The King was mute, and the only way the curse could be reversed was "when the mouse devours the hawk." That happens, after the princess passes the test, and the Queen is still refusing to accept the Princess. The King tires of his wife pushing everyone around, and tells her to shut up. The curse is broken, the King can now turn the tables, and push the Queen around.
My high school put on a production of Once Upon a Mattress the year after I graduated. My brother was in the band providing the musical score and his best friend played the mute king and it was absolutely HILARIOUS.
Prince Charming is skilled in both swordmanship and cockmanship.
My favorite version of this story is the Happily Ever After: Tales for Every Child, where the Pea Test was heavily hinted to be a way for the smothering queen to keep her son to herself, and in the end served as a lesson to her when the only girl who felt the pea was the one girl she deemed uncouth for her son.
And she tried to be polite and say she slept fine, only admitting the truth when she passed out from exhaustion.
That was another thing that bothered me a bit, even as a child. The princess immediately complains to her hosts, not even trying to sound nice about it.
While HBO’s “HEAFFEC” is better than Bavenfield or Goodtimes, there is still plenty of odd creative choices that I would love to see Phelous try to tackle. In their adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast”, the sister straight up lampshades how ungentlemanly it is to threaten to kill someone over a rose… then they just move on like she hadn’t said anything.
Wow I rarely ever see the word “uncouth”! That’s awesome, keep rocking the great grammar 🤟😝
I will say it handled the Beauty’s Father aspect better, because the Beast actually put up a gate and bars that the father had to reach through to grab the rose, so the Beast did have a reason to be so angry about the flower picking.
I was actually gonna comment on this! Holy crap I'm glad someone remembers 'HEAFFEC'.
Phelous: "So the queen did just call a brothel, right?"
Me: "A PRINCESS brothel!"
Ooh yeaaaaah. ᕦ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕤ
“Yippee beans!” Is exactly what I say when these videos are uploaded
I fear Phelouss sanity is being torn asunder from these horrible 'movies'. Stay strong, we appreciate the sacrifice.
He's just stoned like always
I feel his Sanity was shattered long ago, possibly by _Five Across the Eyes_
16:12
@@llewelynshingler2173 Is that why he's clearly a stoner?
@@llewelynshingler2173 now that’s a deep cut reference
The version of the story I heard, the “princess” was a huntress. The Prince liked that they had some things in common that he coached her to pass all his mom’s nitpick tests. Oh and in this version the mom KILLED all the princesses who failed
Bruh, that's dark 😭
@@RubykonCubes3668 Dark, yet strangely bad-ass.
What was it called?
@@TommyDeonauthsArchives From what I could find it was called The Huntress was of Thornbeck Forest. There's a sequel too apparently. The Beautiful Pretender.
Seems like a pretty quick way to start several wars, but most of the monarchy in fairy-tales tend to be tyrants or generally unhinged anyway, so I guess it's normal and nobody cares (don't get me started on the entire royal family from "The Twelve Dancing Princesses," where any man who couldn't find out where the princesses were running off to got executed...and nobody ever found out because the princesses were drugging them and totally fine with people dying so they could get their boogie on).
I've never seen a good animated adaptation of The Princess and the Pea, because I don't think there can be one. The original story is basically a joke, it ends on a punchline... sorta. I guess there is a way to tell it so that it IS a joke, but I don't think even Norm Macdonald could have stretched this thing out to 25 minutes.
At the very least, I can see it work as a short or sketch.
There was a 2002 animated film that was decently animated, but I’m surprised anyone would want to stretch a story like that to film length.
I will say the episode of HBO’s Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child is kinda fun as the story takes place in Korea
Rugrats did it better
It's not even a particularly good punchline to begin with.
Yes the story is so short idk how you could make a decent movie or even tv episode out of it
I've only one thing to say about this movie.
*shakes head disapprovingly*
Gotta hold your hand up though
Who else wants Phelous to write his own book version of Fairy Tales?
Yes
Hell yea
I wanna see how hilarious those can be. Dark humor & well done punchlines guaranteed!
As long as Old Man gets to be in it.
Her shock at the actress is understandable, for two reasons:
1- In this time period, acting was done only by men, who dressed in drag to play the women's parts
2- actors were on the same level/sometimes synonymous with prostitutes (very risqué we're going with this fairy tale)
Either way, probably better that the prince broke up ziggy (stardust)
Meanwhile in the 17th and 18th century it was expected for princes to have actresses for mistresses. Lots of opera singers too
The mother didn’t want for his boy to be like those “Greeks emperors” of the East. Justinian I was weird and could be a bad influence.
If there are such a large number of available princesses it would suggest that each kingdom covers like 3 blocks or so.
That...wouldn't actually be all that inaccurate to northern Germany in the early 19th century, just a few decades earlier and a little south of Hans Christian Anderson's Denmark. The Holy Roman Empire had something like a thousand different states, even after you exclude Imperial Knights, Free Cities, and Prince-Bishoprics.
Bevanfield: Maybe we can't make an actual animated film but I'll bet you cabbage to yippie beans we can a half-assed approximation of one and call it a day!
The Lion The Witch and. The Wardrobe was kind of good. Like Bevanfield’s Magnum Opus
I read a version in which she faked being bothered, having been warned about the test
That makes WAY more sense, as if she really was that sensitive, she’d feel all the pebbles and stuff on the road through her shoes
"Oh, she squeaks when she curtsies! Can't marry THAT monster!"
"This is terrible!.......................I AGREE..............."
"So, the queen DID just call a brothel, right?"
"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF YOU'VE HEARD OF HER OR NOT! SHUT UP! MOVE ON!"
"Beggars can't be choosers, Prince Judge-y Ass Hat!"
"Okay, there's being polite and then there's blindly marching towards your DEATH!"
If we've run out of animated stuff, ON to the plethora of 80s Fairy Tale Theatre movies!!
The bit with Prince Charming leaping out of a window was a perfect and hilarious way to break up the monotonous pain Bevanfield has unleashed upon us, albeit temporarily :|
I remember a version of this where the mother made up the whole pea thing to keep her son from getting married because she had a kind of toxic dependency on him and the plot was the girl and her friends trying to figure out what the secret test was really about so they could beat the queen at her game.
I think it was like a 15 minute animated short-film or something. I don't remember the thing itself very well, just that detail.
I'm betting they don't do anything to try and make this story have anything to give it a plot.
Edit: It wasn't an animated feature, it was a school play.
i do appreciate that the prince is dating the "ugly fat chicks" that normally would be the ones the prince is turning down in favor of cinderella or sleeping beauty or whatever hot girl the story is about at the time. actually, if he actually loved one of them but his mom was all "ew she's not pretty enough" that might actually be somewhat interesting, over the stupid "he's in love with ____ because of her pure heart but she's not royalty" crap done with a super perfect body/perfect face/perfect hair beauty queen instead of what a sweet-natured peasant actually looks like.
As much as I like that idea, I have the sickening feeling we're supposed to side with Queen Asshole Elrond
I can't see the other reply.
But I agree.
In the version of this story I grew up with, the queen was possessive of her son the prince, and made up the pea test just so he wouldn't find a "suitable" princess. The prince finds out, and while the princess is asleep he switches the pea with a bowling ball. In the morning he switches it back and the Queen is all flustered and Prince gets the princess.
That's Stinky Cheese Man
@@tyrant-den884 oh cool! I thought that might have been it. I know I had another storybook of the story, I wasn't sure which this was.
Oh I think I might know that one🤔
Seeing Phelous in my notifications is MY injection of yippee beans.
Daily Mail: they are madness!
King Leonidas of Sparta: madness? This. Is. Sparta!
Phelous: Sparta? This. Is. BEVANFIELD!
Aye tis mine too😜 (yes I’m speaking like this on purpose 😂)
I'll give Bevanfield this: Their videos are perfect for putting children to sleep.
I read one that made sense.
A Princess was due to marry a prince. When she set off with her maid, the Maid turned on her.
She forced the Princess to swap clothes and pretended to be her. The Maid went on to the castle with the carriage, etc.
The Princess made her way there and arrived in a less than good state.
She declared she was the real Princess. They tested it by having each girl sleep in a bed with a pea underneath.
The Maid slept fine. The Princess did not.
That proved she was the real one.
The Maid was used to sleeping on less nice beds and the Princess wasn't.
Just take it as it is and that version is fine. Since the reason is good.
This cartoon actually had me on the edge of my seat.
Figuratively, of course. I couldn't afford to do anything other than shake my head in disapproval.
Your model can't be zoomed so much to make it look like to sit on the edge of your seat? Or is the seat part of your model?
The amount of times that the Queen, or any-one else, shakes her head should be a drinking game, but I think that would make this Feature a even less pleasant experience.
Atleast this prince seems to go for inner beauty for a change unlike all the other "Gentleman" in these fairytails.
Like all the women he brought home seemed to be "flawed" but like genuenly nice and likeable while the ones he did not like were all imposters and liars.
“Maybe Hans Christian Andersen just really hated peas.”
I can’t blame him. I think peas are gross.
I like peas, but I always thought a pea placed under 20 mattresses would get squished and be very unappetizing.
Remember that the original pea was not a squishy fresh green pea but a big dry one. The kind you make pea soup with.
Peas are the champions!
I'd rather have peas than quinoa. Man, the Incans had it sad, eating this so regularly, yuck.
I like peas in cantonese rice.
How can a story so short create something so mind-numbing??? Oh it's Bevanfield magic!
18:52 Oh he's lame all right, the prince not the horse.
I wondered why Dingo's love of padding never irked me the way Bevanfields does, and I think I know the answer; Dingo manages to EARN its padding.
When Dingo has to fill time, they do with a small aside or silly character moment to (try and) endear you to its world, and most importantly, AFTER they established what you need to know about the plot thus far. Bevanfield on the other hand, resorts having characters needlessly overexplain themselves and their predicaments, and they ALWAYS do it in a way that stops the story dead in its tracks.
Hit the nail on the head there 😂
Dingo might actually be the most tolerable out of all these companies. Their stuff is so low quality that it almost verges on parody. Stuff like bevanfield has the audacity to peddle this awful crap like it’s something that actually has merit and they put effort into. I love to hate and make fun of dingo but these other studios just really really bother me for some reason. It’s a less funny situation than dingo and it’s more sad if anything.
Better be nice to Phelous, or he'll send you to the Bevanfield.
So, Hell
@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin yes
Jesus, this Bevanfield animation in particular has reached a Dingo level style.
It is like a Dingo picture with a bigger budget.
Princess Anastasia even looked like the Dingo Anastasia
The only time anyone is excited for Bevanfield is when it's in the title of a new Phelous video... myself included.
Welcome to another episode of "Phelous Dissects Classic Fairy Tales And Their Bad Adaptations!"
Phelous: "His cousin is Prince Charming. Guess that makes him Prince Charm... less!"
Yep, still got it!!
Seriously, though, great video. Keep it up, brother.
plotttwist, the princes isn't feeling the pea beneath the matrass, she is simply allergiv to some pesticide :O
Finally a story where bevenfield’s voices match the characters: half asleep
I know one good version of this story called the Princess Test and the moral of that one is basically “it’s okay to have a bunch of allergies/be picky because that’s who you are and you have ur own charms.” It’s very funny: the ‘princess’ maid spends much of the story trying to murder her because she’s such a disaster to take care of.
Thank you! I read that story as a kid and could only remember a handful of details, so it was driving me nuts.
For all the limited animation issues, at least the backgrounds look like they'd make for a perfectly fine children's book.
agreed
Oh my god, that fart noise took me completely off guard and cracked me up and then Phelan comes around saying he "seriously didn't add" the fart noise and now I'm cackling.
I thought that first curtsy from the woman was a fart.
Well didn't expect boringfield to make this story adaptation.
A boring adaptation for a boring story by a boring company.
A match made in the 8th circle.
@@dragonmaster613 the 8th circle of hell
@@dragonempress8367 that was what I was implying.
I really apreciate the research that Phelous does into the original story these bad movies are based on, it is always interesting to me!
Simce we're talking about better interpretations of this story, I recommend looking up the musical "Once Upon a Matress."
OH YES! Please do!
One of my favorites!
Featuring the hilarious and talented Carol Burnett, she’s in both the original Broadway production and also the later made for TV movie adaptation.
I suppose you could say this movie about a pea really pissed Phelan off.
Do you know him or something?
I am one of his Patreon backers. I do not know Phelan personally.
It really pea'd him off.
Ba-dum tsss.
It gave him Pea-TSD
The story was made into a musical. Once Upon a Mattress is a musical comedy with music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer. It opened off-Broadway in May 1959, and then moved to Broadway. It marked the Broadway debut of later stage and TV personality Carol Burnett, who originated the role of the princess in the musical.
This series is slowly becoming a deep dive into Phelan's descent into madness as these movies start to haunt him, and break him more and more.
Bevanfield loves making the most unlikeable of characters. Like the greedy wife making her husband steal from their neighbour, baby bear, and now the queen
I like to imagine that Bevanfield is actually in the Hellraiser dimension where pain is pleasure... except they deliver pain as pure boredom.
Glad to see this Bevanfield animation also has the scary witch hands on every character.
Who would have known back in the days when Phelous just did horror movies, that the true horror would come so much later...
True horror is found when you least expect it
DUM DUM DUM!
Phelous’ slow descent into being bored and becoming mad is hilarious
Never before this review I've realized how pointless the story of the Princess and the Pea is... I remember there being an animated movie that pretended it was a Princess and the Pea story, but in reality it was a tale about two royal brothers and the evil one (and his hawk pet) overthrew the good one and then it was followed by a prince not being interested in princesses but this common girl, who in reality was the daughter of the good king and at the end she sleeps on the pea and so they ended up together after the evil king died... And it was all narrated by this annoying old bird.... And the princess also had three pig pets... Does anyone else remember it? Or did I just dream it up as a kid...
It sounds familiar, but I don't remember where from. I think I saw a review of it on CZcams a while ago?
Oh l know that. That's a real movie. I actually love it.
@@littleorangeguy someone say the movie title I’m so curious 😅
Yes, I actually loved this movie! Didn't really like all the pigs though, couldn't she just have ONE pig and that's it?
So by looking at the replies, Is this a real film or am I looking at some kekcroc like meme
Edit: by the power of watching reviews of random lackluster films I believe I know what film you guys are talking about, it's title is simply The princess and the pea.
I don't know why anyone would still want Phelous to go back to horror movies. These animated films are FAR more terrifying than any old early 2000s franchise reboot-movie.
Gingerdead Man vs Blood Bush: whoever wins, we lose
Indeed
That Cinderella III clip was a brilliant inclusion xD
my favorite version of this tale is the one in "The Fairytaler", it adds some things for it to tell specifically the "bloodline doesn't matter" moral better.
With the "princess" vry clearly being a liar, even down to noticing the pea (she _did_ sleep badly, but only from being anxious) and after chewing out the king and queen for messing with her and bad-mouthing royalty as a whole, that's when the prince goes all "YES! SHE'S THE ONE!" bc she didn't give a shit about his status lol
Yet another Fairy Tale with Phelous...
For Yooooooou
Like ussssssuaaaaal
Don't think I realized how short the original was as I guess I was use to other versions like how the Queen kept making up crazy tests for each princess (to make sure they failed as no one was good enough for him) with the mattress test being the last one. Once Upon A Mattress makes this story a silly musical and I love the cast.
I think they just put like one sentence on each page normally.
Ah, our favourite Yippee Bean dealer is back.
I've had withdrawal symptoms and was halluzinating that Bevanfield was entertaining.
Also when the first woman courtsied I thought she farted long, awkward and with a cocky smile.
Yeah, farting as she bows must be a secondary effect of working in the french café, I can easily imagine stuffing herself with cassoulet bean dish leftover!
@@nozoto Makes Queen Bobblehead's reaction much more reasonable.
I am so happy you told us how the sleep test went for you at the end, I sat through the credits in suspense to hear that. Will not spoil the answer in my comment though in case someone sees it before they watch the video to the end.
Princess Ella is by far the best looking Bevanfield character so far, and that’s something I never thought I’d say.
I can't recall where or when, but I remember reading a version where the pea is irrelevant to the test because the princess couldn't sleep as she kept giving her mattresses to the less fortunate peasants. The queen was confused but the prince was won over by her kind heart.
I think that's from one of the "Politically Correct Fairy Tales" books. I love those!
Based on the thumbnail I thought Bob was supposed to be some kind of Pea Fairy who was gonna give the down-on-her-luck princess a magic pea to prove her royalty
"If there was a message to found in the original tale, Bevanfield has quite effectively smothered it to death." LOL
The princess and the pea is such a pointless story that I genuinely thought you were talking about Rapunzel for like a full minute because I forgot about it.
I may be wrong, but I think I heard somewhere that back in olden times, actresses were looked down upon because it was assumed they were prostitutes or something.
Also, since the girl named Bob worked in construction, I'm surprised we didn't get some sort of Bob the Builder joke.
Bob the Builder came out in 1997, this Bevanfield "animation" came out in 1992. It came out too early for a Bob the Builder joke, a pity, that actually would've been funny.
@@71.218-westshed I meant that Phelous could joke they had Bob the Builder in this years before the character debuted.
@@VerdantRange Oh, whoops. 😂
Yeah, actors were held to be pretty disgusting in the 19th century.
Funny enough, during that period and before, actresses and opera singers were popular mistresses for the aristocracy, especially royals.
9:48 You can't just throw that in out of nowhere, Phelous. It was too perfect...
This was easily one of my favorite jokes. I call it "Princest".
"The Princess and the Pea (Bevanfield)" is the "Five Across the Eyes" of the animated series.
Not nearly enough scat-flinging
Oh.. I meant the review. Never seen Phelous so angry about a cartoon
@@felipechalreo I get it
You know, I think some of the Prince's 'ugly' girlfriends at the start were kinda cute. I wish the twist was that Prince Bored decided to elope with one of them.......... espacially since it would have pissed off that awful Queen.
I remember a version where the Prince found the whole "pea" thing so absurd that when he found a girl, he snuck in and swapped the pea with a watermelon
I thought it was weird that they all had three fingers on each hand, but then I looked at my own hands and sure enough, I have three per hand as well. I guess it’s just another one of those “Mandela Effect” things.
I swear I don't think he'll ever run out of content. They're truly is an endless dumpster of this kinda stuff.
My favorite adaptation actually acknowledges and subverts the pea plot point; it was a trap for the bitch pining for the prince, knowing that even the most delicate princess couldn't feel a pea underneath all those mattresses. She only found it BECAUSE she was looking for it, so they condemned her to leave the palace with just a pea since she must've wanted it so badly.
I love how the Queen runs off due to a ‘headache’🤣
Wait what CENTURY is this movie? I forgot when they randomly mention Anastasia 😶
I was always thinking that The Princess and the Pea is basically ridiculing nobility, something like "first world problem" memes.
Considering how short this story is and Andersen being born in poor district I can see this story (joke) being more targeted towards commonalty.
I like the story of The Princess and the Bowling Ball from the book The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka & Lane Smith. It's pretty much the same as The Princess and the Pea except when she goes to sleep at night the prince has replaced the pea with a bowling ball, so she is sure to feel it overnight. The queen accepts their relationship after hearing the girl say that it felt like she slept on a bowling ball thinking she was talking about the pea. Yes, it's stupid but it is better than this animated version.
As a kid, I always used to relate to this princess, because I'm clumsy af and get bruised by literally anything. Put a pea in 20 meter proximity of my bed, and I'll get it stuck in my ear somehow. I'd pass all the pea tests, so get ready, Prince Uninterested, here's your new waifu.
The narration he adds to scenes of these kind of movies while taking the piss out of them never fails to deliver such good giggles. 😆
Oh Phelous, you’ll always be a prince in my book! Seriously, watching these is a truly noble undertaking. Thank you for suffering through this nightmare! This video cracked me up. I always love it when you review animation, although it’s a bit of a stretch to call this animated…. Again, thank you for enduring this painfully dull adaptation of an already rather dull fairy tale. Your sacrifice is greatly appreciated. 🖤
