i am going to watch the original in my language arts class and i have to say i love the movie and it shouldnt become a cartoon its just stupid even my best friend who is obessed with this movie and book says that
Just when I thought Erik was actually going to die of a broken heart, the ceiling collapses. I guess "I'm dying, Daroga, of love," just isn't exciting enough?
The only good part about this cartoon is Erik's voice and hearing him say some of the best lines from the Leroux novel. Seriously, when is there going to be a GOOD version that's accurate to the original book? The Lon Chaney film was pretty accurate, but it had to screw it all up with the stupid ending where the Phantom is killed by the mob.
@phangirl1986 They did have the alternate ending where the phantom lets christine go with raoul and when she gives him back his ring, he dies of a broken heart :(
They were to be Buried under the ruins of the Paris Grand Opera. The Monster had given her until 11 o'clock in the evening. He had chosen his time well. There would be many people, many members of the human race up there in the resplended theatre. What finer retinue could be expected for his Funeral? He would go down to the tomb, escorted by the whitest shoulders in the World, decked with the richest of jewels.--
We were All to be Blown Up in the middle of the performance if Christine Daie said 'No'. And what else could Christine say but 'No'? Would she not prefer to espouse Death itself, rather than that Living Corpse? She did not know that upon her acceptance or refusal depended the Awful Fate of many members of the Human Race.
i think out of all the phantoms, this phantom is the one that gives me the most chills. only cuz there are soo many close ups lol. and they're all the same
i love how this kept more true to the book than most of the other movies. I love the Torture chamber and the drama of destroying the whole opera house. " what finer retinue for a funeral could be expected. than to go down to the grave, escorted with the whitest of shoulders, decked with the richest of jewels" ( in the book 11` o'clock was the fateful hour. at that time the theatre was full with all of high society enjoying a play. how awful that would have been.
@jackiedoit1 The only reason they made his face so "horrid" is because no one wants some normal man playing tricks with the theater. They wanted more to the story. I am a fan of heartbreaking,tragic stories myself so I would understand why he made Erik's physical appearance and past so horrible. And wow! I had no idea that happened! Cool!
@twilightdweller1 Eriks in the leroux book probably had the disease called porphyria. If someone who has this disease is exposed to sunlight, they can get permanent scarring, or worse, in just a few hours. In extreme cases the nose, lips and eyelids may get lost. If the condition progresses, the patient could get liver damage as well, and be as thin as a corpse all their lives.

@twilightdweller1 Liver failure that gets really bad causes yellowing of the skin and may cause death.The nervous system may be affected leading to hallucinations, depression, anxiety, and paranoia. In the old days, people with PCT often wore long, dark clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and masks to prevent further sun damage.
@MyCoffeeLove holy shit, that's some incredible research. that's perhaps what Erik had (if he were indeed a real person or based off a real person, as some say), but because in the olden days they knew next to nothing of medicine, he was feared instead of pitied.

@purple8381 I was like ".....This makes me wonder who kissed you to start with? I don't think Luciana did... did she?" (and did I spell her name right??? The daughter of the mason erik worked for)
@ktabella13 I agree, how I would much rather see Lennie [Of Mice and Men] smash Curley's hand-bone and all into millions of tiny pieces than go through the many stigmas and disgriminations that Erik faced!
HAHAHAHAHA! ! ! ! ! sad movie, but they just dont move! ! ! I'm this experienced, and i've only been at it a year. . . okay, now they move, but still, i can do most of this
imagine gerard butler as this phantom. in more or less the same room as the persian. gerard butler, and a persian. i think you know what comes next. ;)
I like the ending where he dies of a broken heart, not where the negligent treatment of his ceiling eventually causes it to stand up for its damn self and kill him.
Shoulda' gone to Home Depot. They have things for that.
@JZMZ68 im not a huge fan of this version either..for me tho, it's more the bad choice of voice acotrs and very poor animation quality...but i agree, a live action that's close to the book would be amazing.
@Fanpireof08 I think it used to be in the kids section, aroun the time of my pet monster, and lady lovely locks (i used to watch all the previews before (and after) my old videos, thats how i know). ebay, or trademe might help, too
It's no offense to anybody who loves it, but when Christine puts her hands over her eyes, it doesn't even look like they're even part of her body, or part of the same person, the skin tones are completely different.
Oh, and for you people badmouthing the 1989 film... it's not that bad, it's just different. It got a lot of negative reviews because people wanted something like the musical to note though.
idiot. 100% IDIOT. the style of drawing/coloring/painting or whatever you fucking call it is DIFFERENT back then! why dont you make your own fucker of the opera then? lets see if you can make a better one.
You don't have a dick, or a brain for that matter.
And for the record, a simple Bugs Bunny cartoon didn't have the animation errors that this thing from 1982 had, so my statements still stand firm you worthless troll.
omfg. now thats 200% stupidity for the record. dont have a brain? dude, i just like countered all of your stupid criticism. bugs bunny? yeah you know why? COZ IT ALSO DEPNDS ON THE COMPANY DOIN THE CARTOON YOU FUCKING MORON. my god. i always have an answer for all the things you say. i aint that smart dont worry. you're juz PLAIN STUPID. a FUCKING MORON haha!
All you have is name calling and statements of the obvious which don't help your argument whatsoever.
You're not worth my time at all. Listen to yourself, the crude animation is supposed to be okay because they didn't pay a lot of money on it like a good company would? That's even dumber than what you claim.
I'm done with you, because you're a worthless troll wanting to start fights. Your next response can have all the pointless insults you want retard.
omfg. no time but look at all our comments =)) you're indeed a fucking moron hahaha!! you're so judgemental you dont even notice the things you're saying are for kids. fuckin frootloop. like i said before. you fail to sound like a good critic. go criticize your mumma's hole DUM-ASS =))
LOL! Yeah... it's pretty bad. I have to go watch the 2004 movie now or listen to the original soundtrack to take it seriously again. On a scale, it's as bad as the 1989 version with Robert Englund.
i have to agree with you! that was a bad version! have u seen the 1990 version with Charles Dance? it rocked my socks! it was an Erik with a sense of humor! i'm going to end this now or i think i'll shoot myself if i hear anymore of this!
@Uphadis The Robert Englund version wasn't THAT bad. True, it wasn't at all faithful to the book, but you have to bear in mind that the crazy plotholes mostly exist because they couldn't make it two movies like they wanted. Not enough money, you know. And the look on his face when Christine is on stage! Priceless kid-in-a-candy-store moment. Charles Dance had a better version to work with, though.
Thank you for such a glorious recreation of the original vhs animated Phantom. I just received the vhs from ebay but a dvd is impossible to find. This is just perfect. Very faithful to the Leroux story.
That was pretty freaking awesome, thanks for posting. If this is actually available anywhere I'll definately pick it up.
Not bad looking, pretty damn accurate, they aknowledged he had a name, Raoul was adoreable and Nadir is a badass as usual. The ending may have been different but it was certianly an interesting take on things. Awesome cartoon.
Slightly? More like he is! He's featured as the Living Corpse at the circus when he was just a child.
I love this cartooon because it keeps it closer to the Leroux version than any other portrayal to date. (Or at least 'til the very end -- I guess dying of a broken heart isn't exciting enough.)
Thank you for posting this video. Despite the repeated animation (it was made in the 80s so what can you do?), it beats out Gerard Butler any day. This version actually stood truest to the novel, using even the actual, most pivotal lines penned by Leroux.
The Persian's finally in here and given a voice! Yays!
Wish they would've kept the ending with Erik dying in 3 weeks.
And thanks for the painstaking Portuguese translation -- it's rather helpful for my Spanish exam. XD
Before I even saw the film, I collected a timeline of stills from it. I slowly watched them, one after the other, and I was already crying at the end. You can imagine my reaction at actually watching it.
Being a thoroughly obsessed girl,- as evidenced by my username- I am very glad that these have been posted, since the ones I had favourited before were removed.
The Portuguese is very nice, as well- it's very useful, in study of conjugation. ^^ Thanks again for posting!
Despite the cheesiness of the animation, I really liked this. Heck, I almost liked it as much as the 1925 silent movie. This thing went almost exactly to the book.
This was really good, and I'm glad I spotted it. :)
Thanks for uploading, I really appreciated it. Great movie :]

Not bad looking, pretty damn accurate, they aknowledged he had a name, Raoul was adoreable and Nadir is a badass as usual. The ending may have been different but it was certianly an interesting take on things. Awesome cartoon.

OMG how is it a major fail?!!!
The Phantom looks how he does more in the book and this is actually close to the book in a shortend version!!!
You want a fail one? Watch the 1998 version with Robert Englund!

In this cartoon, I dont see Erik as a man, or a person.... He is just a skeleton...

He's still a human being. I love Erik <3

Yah, I like him too :) I just think that I would like him in the cartoon to, if he had another look
Sunnifly 2 years ago
This is more based on his appearance in the book. He was described as slightly more skeletal like.
boffinme80 2 years ago 3
Slightly? More like he is! He's featured as the Living Corpse at the circus when he was just a child.
I love this cartooon because it keeps it closer to the Leroux version than any other portrayal to date. (Or at least 'til the very end -- I guess dying of a broken heart isn't exciting enough.)

I love the dramatic zoom-in on the Persian's and Raoul's faces combined with the drum-roll...thanks for posting!

Thank you for posting this video. Despite the repeated animation (it was made in the 80s so what can you do?), it beats out Gerard Butler any day. This version actually stood truest to the novel, using even the actual, most pivotal lines penned by Leroux.
The Persian's finally in here and given a voice! Yays!
Wish they would've kept the ending with Erik dying in 3 weeks.
And thanks for the painstaking Portuguese translation -- it's rather helpful for my Spanish exam. XD

Thank you for posting this! This is one of the versions that is wonderfully true to Leroux! I love it.
1 question though: Why is Erik green? He's supposed to be pale/white!?

Before I even saw the film, I collected a timeline of stills from it. I slowly watched them, one after the other, and I was already crying at the end. You can imagine my reaction at actually watching it.

Being a thoroughly obsessed girl,- as evidenced by my username- I am very glad that these have been posted, since the ones I had favourited before were removed.
The Portuguese is very nice, as well- it's very useful, in study of conjugation. ^^ Thanks again for posting!

Despite the cheesiness of the animation, I really liked this. Heck, I almost liked it as much as the 1925 silent movie. This thing went almost exactly to the book.
This was really good, and I'm glad I spotted it. :)
Thanks for uploading these!

The animation wasn't cheesy. This is the way REAL animation looks. Unlike the crappy computer stuff of the past 10 years.
