Sing beast sing

[canthox]

A thousand thank yous, for the last thirty years every time I mentioned the Toledo Mung Beast people looked at me as if I was mad. Now they'll know I am.

Vern is just as I remember btw,

Yes! At Last! I thought I was the only person that'd ever seen this - thank you! Indeed - funny about the memory thing - I thought there was a duck involved somewhere...

[Cartoonsbystan]

@bendaglish Thank you. I see you have a section from Mastermind, featuring Professor Stanley Unwin. Great stuff.

I too have been looking for this animation for ages!! I saw it on TV twice... I think it was on Channel 4 when they used to randomly have short films and cartoons on... I thought this was bizarre and utterly brilliant at the same time. It's taken me about 10 years to find this again, so, THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!!

[Cartoonsbystan]

@Falarny Thanks. When I recorded it about 20 years ago it was on B.B.C. 2

[Falarny]

@Cartoonsbystan You're obviously correct, with regard to the BBC 2 ident at the begining of the video. Do you want to know something strange tho? I remembered the piano player as he is, I remembered the deflating set pieces and the long pans across the room, but for some reason, I had a completely different image in my mind's eye for Vern and the cactus. Couldn't say why tho.. Do you know if it was ever remade?

[Cartoonsbystan]

@Falarny No idea, friend. I think if the BBC ever repeat those weird and wonderful short cartoons again, it will probably be on BBC 4 now.

[RetroToledo]

@Cartoonsbystan Probably. In the US, this short use to show up on Nickelodeon as "filler" between shows now and then some 20 years ago. Back then they use to do that a lot before they got more on schedule and that stuff went away.  The studio who did this use to do some animated ID's for Nick too.

@RetroToledo Thanks for the info,Stan

@Falarny: It's one's memory playing tricks, happens to me from time to time!

Dude, you are the best! Thanks for upload. I tried to find this for a couple of years. I could not describe this short because of how long its been since Ive seen it. I could only remember the guy dragging the wagon with the cactus and the panning of the room. I feel complete now that I watched this again.

[Cartoonsbystan]

@serius537 Thank you for your kind comment. When I first watched this cartoon, my son said how much Vern looked like me ! Kids can be very cruel sometimes.

[Cartoonsbystan]

@sygo7g Glad to be of service. Thanks for comment.

This piece of animation has haunted me for many years after seeing it when I was a kid. I thought it was amazing then and it still is fantastic. Thank you cartoonbystan for posting it on ytube and thank you  Merv Newland for making it.

[Cartoonsbystan]

@Brizar1 My pleasure friend, and thanks for comment.

[limbdarkening]

I have no idea what the hell I just witnessed, but that was amazing.

[Cartoonsbystan]

Thanks Bre. I liked all your animation projects very clever, you`ll go a long way, best wishes, Stan.

[limbdarkening]

Thank you very much! I am currently getting my Masters in Animation in Wales, so I plan on posting more (better) animations in the near future. Take Care!
