Continuing on in a blue setting, more Bug's Life.



It's a two in one, since some levels (like the boss level, here), don't need their own video. I can't be arsed splitting them up, lazy git that I am. Enjoy!

Oh, and level 4 is not the worst level in the game, it's pretty neat, I was thinking of level 5, which is pretty bad, but there are some strong contenders, I'll be honest. We'll get to them soon enough...

On the subject of Toy Story, the army men have never failed to leave me gasping and in tears from laughing. When I saw 2 in the theatre, people were turning around to look at me during the army men scenes.

A Bug's Life was indeed the second movie Pixar made following Toy Story, the TS movies were spread out so to give people just enough to not grow tired of them.

On New Groove, the restaurant is a level itself but I thought that it was part of Jungle Day.

That RC level is just as slippery and awkward on the Genesis as well.

Also I think the health counter on the Buzz fight actually starts at 4 instead of making 0 a hit. In fact thinking about it, I think it is actually 4 planet icons on the top of the screen instead of a counter.

indeed it is that way. That's also the way it works for all of the other boss fights in the Genesis version, the Claw will always use up a coin before it attacks

gently caress that RC level. The controls for it are terrible. Left and right are from the car's perspective, not yours. I was never able to wrap my head around this. I know that isometric racing games work this way, but I never played those. The only racing game I played was Mario Kart, and Mario Kart had a sensible control scheme!

That level was a brick wall the first time I rented the game. I couldn't get past it. Stupid controls...

Also, I never realized as a kid that Woody attacks with his pull-string. :downs: I thought he had a lariat, you know... being a cowboy and all.

I think I read them up to 2007, just because I REALLY cared about Disney stuff. Then the magazine became less and less about the cartoons and the video games (or more about Kingdom Hearts and I wasn't interested/didn't have a means to play those games) and hell even less and less about the movies, and became more about the Disney Club and the Jonas Brothers and all the other poo poo that came from there. One day my mom asked if we should continue the subscription and I said "well, I'm not really reading them any more so it's fine" and what do you know, the magazine got cancelled not too long after.

That magazine was the poo poo when I was growing up, though. I wager it was to me what Nintendo Power was to kids who HAD Nintendo :v:

I vaguely recall there being a subtle difference with how the batteries pop out of Buzz between the two consoles, with one being more influenced by the direction you hit him from than the other. I forget which is which, though.

oh god no :gonk: this is gonna terrify me badly, and I will be honest, Bug's Life is my least-favourite Pixar Movie. Not that I find it a bad movie, it's a great movie. I just...never got into it as much as the other movies even though Kevin Spacey makes an awesome villain.

I guess it was still early days for Pixar, going from the success of Toy Story. There's no real success in this game...

From what I've been able to find (which is not a lot) those color spewing orbs are only there to mark where you've been. Kind of like marking a tree with an X for path finding.

Ohhhhh so THAT'S what I did wrong as a kid, you weren't meant to touch the ground.
Dammit, now I'm scared to see that scene, it was loving horrifying to see as a kid :smith: I don't think any other death scene in a game scarred me that much and I refuse to play this game again because of it.

What were you saying about the composer of the movie and this game by the way? I was quite curious to hear more about that, was this game not composed by Blythe and Joustra, the resident Traveller's Tales composers?

Whoops, I got my information wrong. Roddy McDowell plays Mr. Soil, who is actually in the Tutorial I skipped over. That's the last work he did before he died. The composer of the film, Randy Newman is what I was thinking when we were talking about music and somehow put the two together. You are right that Blythe and Joustra did the music for the game, as well as Mickey Mania and Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex. I'll correct myself in a future video.

And I also remembered that the game itself was released in NA for the PS1 a whole week before the movie came out! Ah, those were the days...

I'm still a bit new to Vegas, so if there's something glaringly wrong, technically-speaking, don't hesitate to correct me. (For instance, I used a Video Supersampling value of 5 to try and make the parts where Aladdin's flashing every other frame not simply make him vanish outright, but now I'm wondering if it's juddering a lot.)

Next time on Sleeping Bugs, Wei Shen-tipede uncovers the latest plot behind the big city corruption.

That music was pretty good though, also I just noticed they changed Flik's model and actually gave him a leaf backpack which I'm pretty sure wasn't in the first couple of levels. That's neat :downs:

I don't even know how Vegas works but this seems pretty great work so far man, keep it up! Definitely appreciate this addition to the thread since I loved this game as a kid, this was one of those games that the whole family sat around to watch.
I especially appreciate the amazing text correction work, that's pretty stellar right there. Can't wait to see more. What do the WISH papers do if you buy them from the merchant?

Extra continues. Kinda worthless if you don't die enough to make 'em worth it (since extra lives are plentiful in the game), but I buy 'em more often because, well, I like collecting extra lives, and if you have a full set of 9, the collectible ones don't spawn.

I love the movie but then I love all the Disney animated canon so don't listen to me :D it's one of the few Disney movies that legitimately makes me laugh with the Dodo saying "STOP KICKING THAT MACKEREL!"

So holy gently caress this game looks terrible, also why the hell is this animation so drat smooth? It's like that Daffy Duck game all over again on the GBC, the one FutureFriend covered in the Looney Tunes Megathread.
Like, the rest of the game is just godawful and the palette is ugh, but man Alice moves real smoothly in this! But yeah this game is bad. American McGee's games were awesome though, definitely based on the book since the doorknob was Disney's invention and Disney for some reason had no Mock Turtle in their version.
JustAFriend did a fantastic LP now finished of the sequel, Madness Returns, that I recommend people go check out if you want more proper Alice goodness.

You'd think someone at Disney would jump at the chance to animate a turtle with a bull's head but apparently not!
