Dresden Dolls - Pierre animated meowza3k

[mofty7878]

Its the bit where she sings "his mother cried and held him tight." so much emotion in her voice. Gets me everytime.

[SingingYourFears]

Amanda Palmer just made a children's song sound bad-ass. Amazing as ever.

[Wolvenreign]

Now as the night began to fall

A hungry lion payed a call

He looked Pierre, right in the eye

And asked him, "Would you like to die?"

And Pierre Said....

"JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR!"

[EmilySnicket14]

Maurice Sendak defined my childhood. The Dresden Dolls and AFP define my life now. This is such an amazing combination and I find myself coming back to it again and again because it makes me so happy.

[vellitaful]

Great work editing indeed!! Loved it!

[jamMatther]

is this the version from the paradise dvd?

[kemalettinkamu]

I watch/listen this every morning!

[seansurlow]

Never get tired of this...

[traduttor]

I have been showing this video to my middle school students as we head into the last six weeks of the school year..........a time when I DON'T CARE attitude spreads like wildfire, even among the teachers = )THANKS SO MUCH for posting this up, the kids get it and I loved the Nutshell Library as a child. MUCHAS MUCHAS GRACIAS

[mrsway777]

Anyone know the chords?

[PieceofMindmusic]

@jessicamolko i agree :]

[kettoshii]

I hate the Dresden Dolls, but omg, nostalgia at the animation! Gonna hunt down the original now...

[PainMonkey]

I'm starting to like this band....I can see what Neil Gaiman sees in em. If I heard Amanda Palmer say "Then I'd have you inside of me," I'd propose too.

[kittyandstars777]

Amazing.....im speechless

[TheHugomoreno93]

Pretty good ^^

[Poaet]

has anyone been able to get a MP3 of this song? I'm in love with it so much!

[narutorasengantube]

I've been looking for this for 10 years o.O it comes up the first time while searching a kanye west song

[xsjado3600]

haha pierres my name. i dont care

[MyM40iZB4NGiiN]

He needs to get a good ass beating. :)

[dreadstheheart]

"would you like to die?

"i don't care"

lmao SCHOLASTIC you silly bitch

[TheEmpireElite]

He needs a good old fashion ass whipping, then he might start caring.

[7ihearthp]

Bloody Brilliant!

[dclogger]

Well done. I didn't understand the moral then as a 6 year old and I still don't today as a 41 year old.

[xsjado3600]

Hi im pierre. ive got this book.

[mypartygal]

Great find. Thanks so much for posting. Loved the original so much, I still have the cassette. Sendak, King and Dresden Dolls <3

[daaaaaaaaave]

Excellent job putting this video together.

[Maynjen]

I love this! Very cute, I couldn't wait to introduce this to my two year old daughter. She loves it just as much as I do!

[mrfnk]

This was great! thanks! ever since grade school whenever someone tries to tell me what to do, I sing "i don't care!"

[SellsTS]

Awesome job syncing this!

[iwatcher69]

I remember this whole album Rosie Rose by Carol King soooo long ago.  It brings back so much memories.

[eamonnspoon]

Brilliant

[hallierose87]

why can't i find the full video like this with carole king?!

[look2dwesternsky]

So few people know this cartoon/song. This is the epitome of why I love the Dolls. Brian as Pierre = LOVE.

[axderaq]

I prefer the original version but again this is a personal preference...

[Kloun42]

Wow, this is a really good video.

[lynnailove]

My boyfriends' name is Pierre I showed him this song.. ^_^ ! Haha Sooo awesome. I love the Dresden Dolls!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

This is Carole King, right??? I saw the PIERRE cartoon either in late 70's early 80's....cant find that one, or can i?

[meowza3k]

yes, the original was carole king

[look2dwesternsky]

It was part of the release of "Chicken Soup with Rice", a Maurice Sendak cartoon with her music. Something I grew up on. :)

[look2dwesternsky]

Actually. Sorry. "Really Rosie" :)

[jdsmart118]

@TEMPmichaelhansen my friend's lil sis was watching it this on DVD with her singing so it can be found, and i think it is way better with Carole King

[supaskata730]

So i really need the mp3 for this, is anyone willing to aid a desperate soul?

[Yusukespiritgun]

Best Story Ever

[seansurlow]

Really Great.

[ItsLaina]

[misscroatia21]

[abillionpaperstars]

is Brian doing Pierre's voice? ( i really can't tell)

[OMGZALLAMA]

Yes it is :]

[dirtb]

he is

[LiuzPolar21]

I know this story very well.

[lovexcompartment]

THE DRESDEN DOLLS DID THE PIERRE SONG!!???? my new favorite thing, for sure!

[Stencilistic]

poor lion!

[iprayforiceNINE]

i think of pierre as a profound existential philosopher

[PitchBlack696]

maybe a case of nihilism?

[iprayforiceNINE]

so the moral is that he realizes he doesn't care about not caring anymore?

[jimmyaka]

hahahaha

[girandzim4]

love it. lol like, i introduced this band 2 my mom on accident and like, ya

[sneakerpup1]

is this on a dresden dolls album? they do a really good cover ^^

[seansurlow]

Totally Great

[PreciousxAbnormality]

:D so cute.

[RAre61636]

That was quite good!!! I liked it A LOT.

YAY!!!

[Vismund42]

Excellent effort (Y)

[blameasia]

pause it at 5:25. pierre's dad is totally trying to bum that poor lion!

[Ornajela]

Dressden Doll is a very unknown music band

[aliensarehere]

Does anyone have the chords for this

[Maarow]

Did you have to edit the song to make it sync up perfectly? If not, it's pretty amazing that the Dolls had the timing down that precisely.

[meowza3k]

i sped up the part where pierre walks backward. then played with the overall placement of the song to pick the best match for key character motions to the beats of the song. the original isn't timed very well. i did the best i could.

[JezebelSpirit]

And now riding the Lion? That cant be good for his back!

[mgamalyoussef]

Well they had him as a weekend guest, so...

[JezebelSpirit]

Excuse me, I do belive that this is cruelty to Lions! I will report this to the RSPCA! You shall hear from them shortly!

[megadorkuss]

XD totally agree!

[mobasta123]

cool song, i only care for shit.

[tyreta]

I loved this cartoon when I was a child, and the song and I had the book and everything. Now that it is linked to the Dresden Dolls just makes everything excellent!!!

[juliaopel]

I watched this video in pre-school!

[lilcreamchika]

i would hit him up side his head

[supaskata730]

anybody have this in mp3 format?

i would greatly appreciate it!

[CarrotMuffinMix]

[Sarix35]

OH MY GOD.

i am sooo happy i found this.

i've never ever heard this song.

<333333

[tonksloopy]

loved how he willingly stepped into the lion's mouth in the cartoon ^_^

[jokermausland]

I remember seeing this cartoon on tv a very long time ago.

[kittyfacedcat]

i adore the dresden dolls. <3 ~misty

[LizzyT123]

does anyone have an mp3 of this song, seperated from the video? I'd really like to have this song on my ipod, but I can't seem to find it in an mp3 format.

[Dwarfski]

Still want it? I can send it to you..

[CezzaXV]

I wouldnt mind it either.

[supaskata730]

I'd have to agree

I cant find this song anywhere

[gellogirl]

[HailToTheThief9]

That was great. You did SUCH a fantastic job on this. Perfect everything. Favorited immediately!

[Meanangel88]

Hehe How nice! :D

[fuzzypeachmonkey]

Pierre is pretty emo for most of that song, lol. Absolutely adorable video and song.

[Karmamaid]

Oh my gush that´s sooo cute!

Why don´t we have this in Germany?

[reset4u]

i dont understand why this one makes me cry?

[JosephGallagher]

Perfect timing!! I love that song ^^

Has any of you heard Carole King's?

[xxxMegalomaniaCxxx]

yup, i did listen to king´s version, but i prefer this one =)

[UrockMYfrigginSOX]

this is brilliant! Was this a programme? Funny how the images match the song perfectly!!! well done ^.^

[lilMissmAlice]

Thank you so much for sharing! I used to watch that all the time when I was a kid, and I haven't seen it in years. I think I like the Doll's version better than the original, but I'll admit I'm biased (Brain's just too cute when he's doing this song ^_^)

[transvestite]

wow this is pretty cool i love it

[SkankingJesus]

Haha. I know this whole song by heart!

I have the book and i already know the whole book. Makes me giggle.

[OnlySecondBest]

LOL, I love it! I used to watch this animation with my mother, when I was a small child. It stuck with me for a long time. Thank you for sharing!

[ryry627]

I love this!!!!! FAVORITE PLUS 5 STARS

[evilmonkeh]

i used to love this story when i was little

[PitchBlack696]

=DDD gangsterrrr

[snowwhite79]

[thegogoweasel]

Perfect. I was so worried this would be some half-assed hack-job, but it was great. Thank you.

[latinsweetangel]

Well done :D I like it!

[Piratinde]

Lovely :D

Didn't know it was more than just a Dresden Dolls song :p

[Ardamass]

My Mother used to tell me that story when i was a lad.

[poopoopunk1]

that was damn awesome. i loved it.

[RacheyPachey]

now that's bad parenting! lol i love this song and this is just amazing. I love it!

[chunkyluver31]

Seems like the lion has no power unelss his victims are afraid of him. That's why he looks all nervous when talking to him?

[FreakxOfxNature]

wow that was great. cute too. hehe.

[Clockh8er]

I absolutly love it. A most exellent animation.

[LVB1770]

Man, very well done, indeed!

[arkoholist]
