This song makes no sense what so ever, it had nothing to do with the story and if I was Charlie I would of shit my pants when I saw that big ass thing coming at me.
My friend told me the alligator was gay.... I didn't belive her, now I belive that that all dogs go to heaven and that the alligator iss really gay and that he is a big drag XD
It's odd as this was one of my least favourite moments in the movie as a little kid and now it's become one of my favourites simply for the sheer absurdity.
Actually, contrary to the stuff that's going around, this scene isn't pointless filler. The Alligator becomes one of Charlie's allies. He comes back near the end of the movie and saves Anne Marie from being held captive by Carface, and Charlie from being killed by him. Gator kills Carface, and pretty much saves both their lives.
@MegaBigdawg75 Why would I? She's been dead for years and her feelings will not be hurt. I began with my long term dislike of that character she played in this movie, then trolls announced the voice actoress died (I didn't follow the actoress, naturally) and that I should automatically love her. I think not ;) My stance is firm and all may troll if they wish, I still hated the character.
@Irrion Not cool, the little girl who was the voice actor died a month before this movie was released. Her wealthy father brutally murdered his daughter (the V.A, for the little girl, who was actually younger than her character) and wife and then shot himself.
Another thing that ironic is when he play oggie boggie a couple to several years after this they actual censored his musical number. Lock bock and sherel mention oggie stue in the kidnapping santa claus song its never mentioned again. There was a line in the song were he talked about eat him but t hey cut it out. Probably because of all the some the bad publicity gremlins and temple of doom caused.
The alligator is obviously gay and he's asking Charlie to be his boyfriend (something I never picked up on as a kid, of course). I've always wondered if Don Bluth made the scene play that way on purpose. It would be cool if that were true, but I think it was unintentional.
@mothrasaurus Technically that meme is a mistake. Charlie was saved by the Alligator Diva at the end of the film from drowning...and then off camera eating the "Bad dog" as he made a last minute appearance in heaven. Meaning, the alligator ate him...guess the bulldog wasn't much of a singer.
because for some reason the same person that later go cast as oggie boggie also got cast for this film also our at least in the movie. in the kingdoom hearts newer game some of them got replaced because there original a ctors died.
"This is named after the random musical number sung by a big-lipped alligator towards the end of the film All Dogs Go to Heaven. A scene that comes right the [****] outta nowhere, has little to no bearing whatsoever on the plot, is way over the top in terms of ridiculousness even in the context of the movie[/show], and after it happens, no one ever speaks of it again."
every time i watch this i cant help but say what...the...hell...was...THAT!! And it took me ages to realise that it is the same guy who did boogie in the nightmare before christmas.
Interesting thing about the 'big lipped alligator moment'.. its made fun of because it doesn't really belong in the movie, but if you listen to the words and understand its intent, the whole point is that music and singing is enjoyable for its own sake, regardless of the context, so you can do it any time, any where.
Maybe most of Don Bluth films are big-lipped alligator moments but I love his attention to detail in making the children behave like real children. Or something like it. I love Anne-Marie's character; she just seems so real to me.
Is that Oogie Boogie (Ken Page) singing?!... I don't care if it is a "Big Lipped Alligator Moment," a random moment that contributes nothing to the story. Any movie with Ken Page singing in it contributes SOMETHING in my book! : )
What's incredible is that the song is out-of-context and absurd WITHIN ISTELF - there's no leading melody, no leitmotif you can easily remember, it just MEANDERS THROUGH INSANITY.
Yeah, he does come back to save Charlie at the end, but why the huge flamboyant musical number? Unlike the other songs in the movie, it bears no relevance to the plot (other than Charlie doesn't get eaten), and it violates the rule of the rest of the movie that only Anne-Marie has inter-species communication abilities! Big-Lipped Alligator Moment indeed. Also, is anyone else reading a homoerotic subtext into this, or is it just me?
