Those old Disney cartoons too slow-paced for you? BLAM! (Original.) Are you confounded by physical humor? BLAM! (Original.) BLAM! (Original.) Does a cartoon without wisecracks leave you unsatisfied? BLAM! (Original.) BLAM! (Original.) BLAM! (Original.)

I mean, does narration really improve slapstick? "Uh-oh, Stan, the fat boy is coming at you with a pie. Better duck! Who's this coming through the door? It's Ollie's wife -- another fatty. Hey, look out honey, here comes a pie! Blam! Right in the kisser! That sent her flying back into the kitchen. Down she goes. Another California earthquaaaaake."

I, too, thought it was a parody at first. Then I realized it was real, and I got sad.

But now, I think it's genius. Disney just skipped the middleman and created their own post-modern fan parody. But instead of being overtly satirical, they just went ahead and drowned it in irony and sincerity, leaving us with enough ambiguousness to serve up thousands of plates of beans: Is Disney making fun of the cartoons that made them famous (as paisley henosis said)? Is Disney trying to show us something about these sorts of parodies (because it's clear from the reactions in this threads that who the author is makes all the difference)? Are they a commentary on borderline-sadistic slapstick shows like AFV or MXC? Did Disney approve of these as authentic, uncomplicated entertainment, instead of the multi-layered messages they can be viewed as? Was it some combination of these motives? Was it something else entirely?

I kind of hope that whatever network exec signed off on them understood their strangeness and irony. But I also kind of hope that they were approved in good faith, as a good use of a few minutes of air time that would keep people tuned to the Disney Channel without putting off advertisers. Whatever the case may be, these are fucking brilliant.

On the other hand, though, it's great to see the ones from the old Sport Goofy series. I think the old time animation guys thought those were some of their best work.

I don't think they're making fun of them, I think they're defiling them. It isn't a clever mockery of the Spike-TV-ification of TV, it is a symptom of the same and an example of the same being pushed down market to younger consumers.

Disney (2010) is so fucking repugnant that it is hard to feel good about giving it to your kid, but withholding it means that they have to go without Disney (1950-65) which would also be a shame.

My nieces are fully in the thrall of Princessy Princess crap.

They love it when I read to them, so I asked them to pick out one of their books. They both brought me recent anthologies of Disney "stories."

They were wretched, flat, lifeless and no fun at all. The classic stories had none of the characteristics that made then memorable. Seriously - the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk didn't even say "Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum!" and the big bad wolf didn't say "I'll huff. AAaaaand I'll puff. Aaaannnddd I'll BLOOOOWWWW your house down!"

And the non-canonical Princess stories were even worse. At one point, I turned to my mother (Gramma, to the audience) and said "They write these in a sweatshop in Taiwan using Google Translate or something, don't they?"

I was admonished to keep reading.

The main character, a PRINCESSY PRINCESS, was, I dunno, ordering people around and generally being a selfish, horrid b. This is our protagonist, and this is OK because she deserves it because ... she's... a ...Princess? I guess.

I waited until after I was DONE reading to suggest that perhaps the rigors of employment would do her some good. "I would like to read a story where this Princess had to work at McDonald's." I said. "Would you girls like to hear the story about the time Princess Fluffy Pink Buttruffles dropped her crown in the deep fryer? I would!"

So yeah, television is not the only realm in which Disney is vigorously defiling their legacy.

This doesn't surprise me in the least. Disney Channel caters to a demographic that has a real hard time sitting still through anything but action-gag-action-gag-gag-gag entertainment. The old classic Disney shorts can be extremely slow-moving (thus, boring) for these youngsters who thrive on 24-7 entertainment. Cutting-up the old cartoons is a lot cheaper than having new stuff made specifically for that core audience.

A sampling of Maximum Exposure:
* Steve Abbot across Lake Mead, from episode 2: Extreme Sports Psychos
* Liquor Store Ladies Whoop Robber's Butt, from ep 12: Comin' to Getcha! (now with more rewinds and emphasis on elements in the shot, like the dangerous comb)
* Maureen Reese, World's Worst Driver from ep 23: International Edition (note the side-panel of options for video re-play and the advanced focus circle)

Yes, Maximum Exposure is to blame. The worst part is that "Max X" ran in 2000-2001, and Disney BLAM! is from 2010. It's taken them NINE YEARS to get into the "X-TREME SPORTS" mode with reworking old cartoons.

That Cartoon Brew link notes the earlier effort to re-format cartoons in The Mouse Factory, which ran from 1972 to 1974, but from what I've seen, they are far less obnoxious (Goliath II, featuring Kurt Russel: part 1, part 2, Kurt Russel's end clip)

As an editor who's had to cut things that were pretty fucking shitty, I feel for the guys that had to do this. Finding work can be hard, and working for Disney can be a big deal. I can imagine myself sucking it up and doing this if you need the money because it can be so god damn hard to find editing work. I imagine everyone involved in this, from the VO guy to the sound recordists to the graphics guys to the directors hated doing this. Every one of them thinks this is garbage except for the one guy with the business degree who gets to call all the shots and insisted this was the way to capture the young market Disney survives by exploiting. And every other person involved hates that guy. I guarantee you that's how it is working on these.

I'd have trouble sleeping at night, if I was part of the team that did this. I would very seriously lie awake wondering how much longer I'd be willing to actively contribute to the decline of civilization. Then I'd remember my rent was due and put it out of my mind until the next night.

When I was a kid in the 1970s, I had a love/hate relationship with the TV show The Wonderful World Of Disney. It was a terrible show, a way of recycling a mishmash of old Disney footage into ad-sale time. Much of the material shown was downright dull, and all of it was mercilessly edited.

But it was also the only way to see a Donald Duck cartoon. And Donald Duck is, in my opinion, by far the greatest thing Disney has ever wrought.

But The Wonderful World Of Disney was never content to let viewers see a complete, unmolested Donald Duck cartoon, only an edited down, Watchers-Digest version of something that was already really short.

So BLAM seems like the same old thing. The people in charge of Disney television don't believe in their material. They've got access to a vast library of timeless classics, yet they can't just let us watch them. They have to leave their mark all over them. They don't know that they're ruining them.

The intrusive and nonsensical BLAM logos immediately reminded me of something else I saw on TV a while ago: the Jetix brand, which, surprise, surprise, was also a Disney property. Jetix was just an announcement during the commercial breaks, an animated logo interstitial with a voice-over along the lines of "YOU'RE WATCHING JETIX," without further explanation. Utterly nonsensical.

It's almost as if the people in charge of marketing entertainment don't understand what's good or bad about their own stuff; they don't know why people want to see it. They're hoping that if they beat us over the head with a brand often enough, we viewers will automatically tune in to the brand in spite of the material attached to it, rather than because of the material attached to it.

So this is i guess a parody of a show that i remember from maybe ten years ago, i thought it was called "totally extreme video" or something like that and they would do the announce, the rewinds and slomo (complete with graffic on the side) and repeat the name of the show ad nauseum much like the "BLAM!" here. Being familiar with that show, this parody of it is actually kind of funny because the show was total crap (things slightly too much for AFV, and this was pre youtube), but the only thing on at 11pm on sunday when there was no cable. But, with this knowledge i think the concept is so absurd that it was funny. I mean, show that was not geared towards children and hardly watchable, mixed with old cartoon. It's kind of funny.

Here is a BLAM video in German. Shockingly, it actually sounds less evil in German; a rare exception to the general rule.

While there is no defense for how horrible these BLAM videos are, Disney does still make some decent cartoons, like Phineas and Ferb.

Phineas and Ferb has a bit of the old Warner Brothers sensibility to it where there are physical gags for the youngest viewers, jokes and references that only adults will get, as well as dialog from the adults (esp. Dr. Doofenshmirtz) that can border on the Python-esque (relax, I said 'esque') in the sense that humor often comes off as being self-aware and/or self-parody.

All this hand-wringing over Disney repurposing their content in a sportscaster frame to Get-Right-To–the–Gags™ reminds me of Adorno and Horkheimer, who made their life’s work about calling Hollywood out for making films that duped their viewers into accepting the disparity of wealth upon which capitalism depends.

Except this hand-wringing is done in 100-word MetaFilter comments rather than 100K-word jointly-authored monographs.

Looks like the (end of civilization|our nostalgic childhood) belongs to the critics as well as the producers.

I watched just part of the first video in coming to my conclusion. The source material was insipid enough (I'm old enough to have watched it when it was fairly fresh), but the remix made me recoil in disgust. I'm impressed that so many people could actually be moved to interesting and intelligent comment by it.
