Tales In Mushroom Village is a Chinese computer-animated TV series from 2009.
It's considered partly lost media. 2009 was 15 years ago, but that was the year Pixar's Up came out, and Toy Story was 14 years old by then, so the animation can't be
that bad... right?
Here's a trailer (2 minutes). Two compilations have been uploaded to Youtube (
A, B, both 1h40m, Chinese with terrible English subtitles) How long can
you survive them? There's also
a trailer for a sequel series called Tales In Mushroom Village II: Alien Visitors, which you'd be forgiven for thinking was a completely
different bad CGI thing edited into the original, but its oh so all too very much real.
I won't mince words: it's
baaaaad, y'all. But it can be enjoyable to watch bad things, if you're of a certain diseased frame of mind. I have had that illness for a long time; maybe some of you are sufferers too. Each of the two long videos has five episodes.
Things to look/listen for
in the first episode alone:
Disturbing character design throughout
"What a bad lucky day! You will be accused by me."
Unexpected cameos by Zelda music
Unnecessary transitions in a shot, to the
same shot
Four Chinese sentences that get translated into "Ugh..."
The ice cream cone that becomes a banana in an edit
The door step that's clearly too tall for any character to climb
"Bad brother, compensate us..." "Mum, he must compensate us."
Endless rabbit whining
Rabbits here have tapering tails instead of cottontails
Baby rabbits suddenly spinning around the Fox elder's head
Sheriff Volcano-head
"Village head, my grandpa has said the misunderstanding is the devil! Or you'll be the devil!" "I have heard that impulse is the devil."
Naonao sleeps at night resting stiffly on his bed in his clothes with his baseball cap over his face
"Get up everybody...! Do cleaning...!"
