"Mad Mirror Land"

[looneytoon76]

It wasn't an actual episode of the series but a weekend special crossover thing with a bunch of Looney Tunes characters

[mikeycereal]

Yup the live action was also in color, I remember watching this as a kid. I would've recorded it but this was back before vcrs. I wish this was on the Goolies dvd.

[squirm13]

was this episode filmed in black and white?

[toontracker]

No, it was filmed in color. I have the episode in color, but minus the live-action sequence. I only have the live-action sequence in black and white.

[smith1958b]

Cool segment. I fondly remember the groovy ghoulies, but i don't remember ever seeing this. The ghoulies rock.

[bigpopparamma]

Was there another episode that featured the Mad Mirror Land?

[623058]

@bigpopparamma yes it was, I cant remember the epsoide, When this was put on on VHS pal tape in late 80's this section was taken out!

[chris55204]

I've never seen this before. Why is the vampire running around in the sunlight?

[Spameggssausage]

I saw this on TV when i was 10 years old

[BorisFangirl]

Where can I find this movie? It looks cool.

[jzerony]

Funny... when they're live action they move a LOT... when they're animated they barely move at ALL....

[wsbtam]

May just be me, but wouldn't it have made more sense to have Scooby-Doo and the Mysteries, Inc. Gang meet The Groovie Goolies?

...Just sayin'.

The live action sequence is cool, though.

[wilek209]

I agree. The Groovie Goolies kinda remind me of the monsters on "Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf"

[rkindle]

color version please

[623058]

Colour version of this is around and is on one of the normal episodes. UK VHS TAPE, cut this actully segment out. I have no idea why!

[Scythemantis]

I love how the laugh track NEVER EVER STOPS, even when nothing is happening that you would even expect was *meant* to be funny. It's adorable.

[Tronman63]

I see sets being sold on ebay saying it's the entire serries of the 16 episodes produced. Has anyone bought one of these sets and if so did they include the live action sequence on the set?

[bigpopparamma]

Live action Frankie, I wonder if that was Richard Moll, who would later play Bull Shannon on "Night Court"?

[Tronman63]

Cool to hear Larry Storch and Howard Morris doing the voice overs, Howard also did some of the atom ant cartoons.

[bigg3469]

Mel Blanc also did the VOs in this Saturday Superstar Theater episode which was the only time that Warner Bros studios lend the Looney Toons to Filmation (Years later Warner Brothers would acquired the broadcast rights to the DC Comics heroes {Batman,Superman,Aquqman etc} from Filmation).

[Charjune]

Oh gosh! That was hilarious! xD The actors playing the live-action Goolies were great! I really like Drac´s outfit.

Too bad this was not in color though. Wish I could see the movie.

[olig1986]

I hope they will... :(

[jimmyvibes]

No sorry, the vhs I recorded it on was thrown away in the 90s :(

[heine71]

Will Time Warner ever release Daffy Duck and Porky Pig meet the Groovie Goolies on DVD someday? Time Warner released on DVD the Filmation cartoons 1966 New Adventures of Superman, 1967 Aquaman, 1967 DC Super Heroes (originally on the Superman-Aquaman Hour of Adventure), and 1977 New Adventures of Batman; but not yet 1968 Adventures of Batman.

[swarlock]

I hope so too.

[whovian1971]

Damn, that's very strange!

[htruman]

I remember seeing this when I was 3 or 4 & it was creepy when they become live action.

[micr0cosm]

Wow flashback lol

[623058]

Should this not be in colour,

its also a shame that the UK video never included this

[623058]

This bit was CUT for the UK video release of this!

although it was in Colour, how is this not in Colour?

[blender1970]

WTF?

[electricland]

One word describes this. FUNNY!

[yamwacky]

Thanks for posting this! Man, I haven't seen this since I was really little. At the time, I thought it was about the funniest thing I'd ever seen on TV.

[EarlSnohomish]

Ah! I remember the Groovie Ghoulies in Mad Mirror Land, but I forgot it was one of the "Saturday Superstar Movie" collection.

Thanks for posting this!

[BDLC90]

Do you have any more clips?

[electricland]

This is hilarious!

[bryant252005]

i remember this one

[punchcar]

Between 1967 and 1977 Filmation cartoons cost over $40,000 an episode to make. Music in scenes were repeated from other Filmation shows because the the real pop tunes were marketed like the Archies (A Filmation cartoon also).

[hazlehell]

Super Fantastic!

[mightyfilm]

You can clearly hear music recycled from Fat Albert at least twice in that segment. The horse riding scene and the Cow stampede/ Sneeae segment both come from the Brown Hornet segments.

[mattkilleen]

Too bad the Mummy didn't go to "We ran out of money for animation-Land" like the others.

[theSarge00]

I love the internet - I've tried describing the memory of seeing this back in the early 70's to friends and they were convinced it was a hallucination. Here it is - proof positive!

[jimmyvibes]

I had this episode on VHS taped in the early 80s and remember it so well. So these scenes aren't on the dvd???

[plyg]

the actors playing the count wolfman and fankie do they also do the cartoon voices too?

[swarlock]

No. The voice actors dubbed in the voices for the live actors.

[biglex42]

no they didn't, i have the dvd collection and the commentary states that they DID in fact play themselves.

[plyg]

does the dvd have the live action scenes?

[mikeycereal]

They didn't play the live action counterparts, it's just dubbed by the same voice actors. Frankie and Wolfie had the same voice actor so they couldn't have played themselves. Plus Drac doesn't look like Larry Storch to me. Why the hell did they put the stupid 90's rock band on the new dvd and leave out the live action?

[bigpopparamma]

Drac was a caricature of Larry Storch and I agree the live action version should have been played by Storch himself.

[regusted]

This was like, groovier than the cartoon, man! A-wooo wooo wooo!

[punchcar]

oh man!!! I remember this!!!! Scary, rare, and fun!!!

[nnaw]

Darryl, it was retitled "The Haunted Heist" when it was shown on The Groovie Goolies And Friends with the King Arthur unsold pilot and the Groovie Goolies song "Cling Clang", the original CBS stay tuned bumper was also shown which wasn't shown on the "regular" Groovie Goolies episodes in the package.

[heine71]

This was remade in 1978 for the syndicated Groovie Goolies and Friends show.

[LazerBlast]

I wish this can be on DVD

[swarlock]

I wish this was on DVD too.Best part of the whole movie. This was re-edited as the last episode in The Groovy Goolies And Friends Show.

[ticticboom]

it is now on DVD.

:)

[nnaw]

Mark, here is the only appearance of the Groovie Goolies in live action in the 1972 Saturday Superstar Movie episode Daffy Duck And Porky Pig Meet The Groovie Goolies!! I have it in color without the Looney Tunes characters' appearance at the beginning.

[plyg]

does it have them going to mad mirror land?

[nnaw]

No, it's edited out as is a few other scenes.
