Gourmet Records

This is the animated short Gourmet Records from Miramar's Imaginaria. It was also among the shorts to air as part of YTV's Short Circutz in the mid 90s.

if you're wondering about the quality, there's a reason for it being rather poor. These animations were created on early computers as separate projects in the late 80s. They were then output to film or (ugh) VHS. This was then collected by Miramar who somehow edited them together into the shorts. Once that was done, it was released on VHS tape. Later on, these VHS tapes were recorded into a computer by unknown means and compressed with an obscure video compressor. The result was burned to a CD and mailed off. After that it was extracted from it's bizzare video format and converted into a more standard AVI format. Finally it was uploaded to Youtube and re-encoded in their system. That means that this short has been in 8 different lossy video formats by the time you watch it. It's a wonder you can even make out what's happening.

Is this supposed to be a reference to the label Delicious Vinyl? Cause that guy looks awful similar to the one in their logo.

I've never heard of any connection, but I would be surprised if it wasn't. The logos are nearly identical.

The sound WAS in sync when I uploaded them, but Youtube's encoder somehow threw it off by a second or two. I'll try re-uploading them with the sound out of sync in the other direction, so that it ballances out.

When I was a kid, the clip at 1:21 was my favorite. For some reason I just really liked those timpanis.

I remember watching this years ago and agreeing with the record choice based on the animation and the impressions given of the music. It's odd seeing this again now and realizing I'm old enough to have my own opinion on it xD

The first time I saw this I thought it was a smarties commercial after just turning the channel to it :P
