[lololikestolol]

OMG!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I had this tape as a little kid and found in our attic last year! I show it to all my friends and we all think its quite possibly the most wonderfully disturbed child's video ever! Styro is my favorite of all the videos! Its nice to know I'm not the only one to know about these awesome video!

[riffrandell64]

I guess crime doesn't pay- there's the lesson for all you bone thieves out there

[fatboyswearpink]

Ahh I loved this video, even though it always made me sad to see him get caught. :( My dad's been bringing it up lately, it took me watching to actually remember what he was talking about.

[cageguard]

i always got sad when i saw this cuz it meant the video was nearly over, lol

[RMoney100]

So HE'S responsible for 9/11!

[iiSOoFWESH]

apparently hes a terrorist

[Haphapman]

No, he's terriorist.

Does that mean we should still send him to Gitmo? Probably.

[EComp86]

lol omg i remember this shit!

[pencitypunk]

Dude I totally remember this, haha I love styro

[brownieyez]

this scared me as a kid

[kosai19]

I remember this one being really weird even back then, and it's still weird today. Brings back the memories though.

[PlanetMan77]

Oh man, I remember this used to disturb and sadden me as a kid. I'd forgotten the whole thing, but as soon as it started I had a vague feeling something bad would happen, like he'd get caught in a jail, and wouldn't you know it.

I prefer a happy ending.

[jputnam]

You can see Sinnott and associates in the credits.

Beyond The Minds Eye (End Credits) (on youtube)

---JP

[jputnam]

The origninal was done by Sinnott and Associates in Chicago. See previous comments. He did it as a demostration piece of his CGI capabilities, and I think to get on the ACM graphic animation reel. He was alwayhs named Syro. I worked there as a consultant during that time and just put up my "Styro" xmas tree ornament I got from Tom Sinnott for

Xmas back then.

---JP

[BlkKatt13]

O___O WTF???!!!! After seeing the original scene from Beyond the Minds Eye, coming across this... I don't know whether to laugh or cry. My main reaction was, "What the heck? They named the dog? Or, wait, was it already named...?" It was something like that...

[rayraygunner]

what happened in Beyond the Minds Eye that would make you wanna cry????

[BlkKatt13]

No. I mean this made me want to cry... because it was made from those scenes and I was looking for the original... and this is what I found. I'm not sure whether it's good or bad.

[rayraygunner]

oh haha.. yeah i was just wondering, thanks for clearing that one.

[chriswpg]

Oh my goodness, I remember this! "I'm the dog, where's the bone?". Thanks for bringing back what was a vanished memory! Styro rules!!

[chaiya25]

i remember feeling like something bad wud happen and styro was the reason, when i was a kid watching this lol

[SM8101]

IN THE ORIGINAL VIDEO YOU CAN HERE HER SAY, "Hes styro styro the dog hes styro styro the dog hes stryro...whoops!"

[penhand101]

i remeber watching this as a kid before i wnet to bed.

[baronmalakai]

Oh, how I would love to see the sequal!

This song has haunted me for years, I am happy I discovered it again here a couple months ago!

Thank you Jax184

[jputnam]

I was working at Sinnott's on some consulting projects at the time this was created. I even have a Styro Christmas tree ornament he gave out one year. Tom now is a VP/GM Technicolor West Coast Digital Intermediates.

There is an episode 2 of Styro. Wonder if it will ever surface?

[Jax184]

That's really cool. I love hearing stuff like this.

Let me know if you want to part with that christmas decoration :)

[jputnam]

I'll send you a picture of it, when I can dig it out of the attic.

---J

[jputnam]

The animation was done by Sinnot and Associates of Chicago. Tom Sinnott had the only company in Chicago at the time with a staff doing hand animation. He transitioned over to CGI and this was a spec short to show off what his group could do.

[EvilTediz597]

I guess Styro's now in Guantamano...

[TyrannoJack]

i am just died when i saw this

i had such fond memories of this damn thing

as a boy.

[Licurgoknox]

wanted for terrorism?,more wtf

[fluffyqueer]

I never got this one... why did they go out of their way to catch him? What did he do???

[Jax184]

Didn't you see the poster in the background? He's a terriorist, wanted for bone graft!

[Tavok1]

Old school YTV was the greatest, I loved watching the Short Circutz between shows. Now all YTV has is anime =\

Anyone remember the name of the one with the pyramids and the Coyotes in the desert? It had a cool tune to it.

[Jax184]

Yes, it's just called Pyramid. The music was done by Jan Hammer. It's on youtube.

[hoodyofdeath]

fuckin sweet. i loved the short circuits

[Hadra568]

Thank you. Nobody else remembered Styro. I was beginning to think I made him up

[DBroesberg]

I remembered him I was just waiting for someone to up loadit to you tube.

[softy8088]

BTW, I always heard the lyrics as

"I'm the dog with the bone"

instead of

"I'm the dog, where's the bone?"

Anyone else hear it that way?

[softy8088]

He's Styro, Styro the dog He's lucky to be a pink and blue dog He's got ridges down his back and a long kooky tail He's trying all the time just to stay out of jail He's Styro the dog And that rhymes with dog! He's Styro the dog I'm the dog with the bone! He's Styro, Styro the dog He's Styro He's Styro, Styro the dog He's Styro, Styro the dog He's Styro, Styro the dog He's Styro, Styro the dog He's Styro!

[jj201]

That was sick!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for bringing back some ol' skool!

[mokujin2046]

OMG! I remember this from back when I was in elementary school! Oh the memories

[JaziB]

OH. MY. GOD.

[chococheesecake]

holy shit... i remember this like it was yesterday

[SSShino]

umm yes it was lol

[SSShino]

holy shit.....wow now this brings me back.

[softy8088]

Many of these videos had different soundtracks. I have a version of Styro with a very techno beat type music, but it's about half the length of this and the part with him sniffing the hydrant is cut out. (That's form the Computer Animation Festival vol. 2)

I think the music you can hear here is the original.

[Jax184]

The music for most of the YTV shorts was added by Miramar. In the case of videos like All Shapes and Sizes, Miramar put them together out of a handful of unrelated 3D clips and added the soundtrack. That's why you can see such a mixture of styles in most of them, and a few of the same clips in several videos. In the case of Styro, I have no idea what's original and what's not.

Feel like uploading your version?

[softy8088]

I have it on a MovieCD, which I assume is the same format as your source for this short. I really don't feel like figuring out how to convert it to something normal. I just watched my version again, and all I can say is that it's crap, and not worth the effort.

You can take a shot at it if you like, if you give me somewhere to send a 670MB file to. :-)

[DragQueenFetishGirl]

sweet!

[MichaelMorbius4ever]

I always thought Styro was an aligator (sp?)

ahh the good ol 90's.

[DragQueenFetishGirl]

Gay? no no no, I'm bi! so....you taken?

[DragQueenFetishGirl]

maybe you were high when you saw it looser

[DragQueenFetishGirl]

ha ha ha are you on drugs?

[DragQueenFetishGirl]

yes it is

[stars1314]

omg..lol I had been trying to rememeber this video for such a long time. I kept asking my friends about it and they thought I was crazy lol. Great memories... lol thanks.

[crystalfaith]

"He's styro the dog" "and that rhymes with DOG!"

LMAO this was always my favorite of all Short Circutz aka Imaginaria videos. :D Thanks for posting!

[Kphoria]

Brings back memories of my early childhood. Considering the resources back then, I have to say I was and still am impressed by it. Catchy song I never forgot.

[Bokumaru]

omg...THis song came up in my head...out of no where and i decided to look it up on here..and I found it!! omg.. YTV old days...I love the 90s

[DBZcosplayer]

I don't know why YTV, Teletoon and the other animation/kids networks don't do stuff like this anymore!? For people in the 90's this was the BEST way to pass time between shows! Thanks for posting it! The quality hardly matters when you've got memories backing it up!

[softy8088]

The reason is that back then they were only allowed 8 commercial minutes per hour, but the shows they were airing were formatted for more commercial time. So they had to fill in the extra time with something that wasn't "advertising" and so they used stuff like this.

[choronos]

dear god i seriously almost cried when i watched all these again. the 90s were great...

[danziglady]

lmao! Memories. I wish i were a pink and blue dog.

[Greysage404]

I've had this song stuck in my head for ever, thanks for posting it.

[Puggalug]

Thank you for posting this video! I've had characters named styro the dog in certain games, and it's great to finally have found the origin of them again! Favourited.

[OrangeOrnage]

And That Rhymes With Bone!

[crystalfaith]

I believe he's saying "And that rhymes with dog" not bone... :D

[OrangeOrnage]

oh yea, what was i sayin

[Alfazil]

OMG this is the final one I've been looking for, thank you so much

[stevedabeve]

pause at 0:35 and call that number

[chikki282]

I want to do it but I'm too scared lol have you actually tried it? If you have,just cerious who's number was it? omg wouldn't it be creepy if a person actually saw this clip and recognized that as their phone number? if it was me I'd feel like someone was stalking me...

[Puggalug]

It's an invalid number where I'm from. I tried the reverse phone directly from 411 dot ca. It wouldn't be difficult to find out who owns that number, unless it was unlisted.

[Jax184]

The newspaper says the Detroit Free Press, so it would be a good idea to check for this number in the detroit area codes.

Keep in mind that this animation was made in the late 80s though, and people often move/change numbers/die in that ammount of time.

[shyguy243]

This brings back lots of memories!!!

[TYSOHN]

AHHH MY GOD I would have never remembered this. THanks so much, one of my favorites!

[beamoflaser]

I sing this shit all the time and I gotta thank you for uploading it cuz it drove me crazy for like 9 years, thank god for youtube

[terrimay]

OMG I was looking for this before and couldnt find it

[Buffyfan90]

OMG THANK YOU SOO MUCH

[TSCatLady]

It's Styro!

[crushkill]
