The Beano Video Stars in depth review transcript

This isn't the Bino video. It's the Bino video stars and it's a different video. I swear it's a very different video. It's a different shark. And it's not confusing. Hi everybody. It's me, your old pal Ashley, back to say a thing or two about the sequel to the most beloved Bino video. Yeah, remember that? That was pretty good. Well, today's video is pretty good, too. We will review, break down, rap, and compare this to its predecessor.

Will it reach the meager highs of the first one? I mean, it can't be any worse, can it? Part one, the format. The format is significantly mixed up this time. It's no longer a zap format with different panels introducing us to each short. We do get a little of that, however, on the DVD menu. instead here. This time, everything is kind of tied together with a bit of a narrative. It reminds me a little of those old Looney Tune compilation movies where they would have a bit of a plot to tie all the shorts together.

In Bino Video Stars, we start in outer space with some aliens noticing a bit of a commotion down on Earth. So, they go to investigate. The arrive in Bino Town, which is hosting a film night with a red carpet setup and a host with a very familiar voice introducing us to the stars of the video. Ah, that's where they got it. Very clever video stars. I get it. I get it. So, everyone makes their way to the screen and from there we have the setup for each cartoon.

The DVD only advertises eight, a poulry amount compared to the 19 we got in the Bino video. You might be thinking to yourself, maybe you will get longer cartoons this time. Well, you would be wrong. Some of these are actually rather short. Don't worry, though. The time is made up for in the framing device. Along with the lengthy opening, we also get interludes of audience reactions from different characters. One in particular involves Billy Whiz running to the South Pole to retrieve some ice for Fatty.

We also get some fun advertisements and a real edgy rap. Oh, we will talk about that. The film also ends with an elongated ending sequence that was enjoyable for what it was. Part two, the pacing. I like the comic format of the first one, but it wasn't done amazingly. This one works so much better. While containing the different shorts, it does have this consistent through line that helps with pacing. Each character not having four or five different shorts also does wonders to not feel repetitive.

The only characters who got two cartoons were Dennis and Minnie. And they are both pretty short, so you don't feel the length. That's what my girlfriend said. Oh no, I just got it. Don't worry though, folks, as you still see more of everybody in the intro, rap, the audience, and the silly commercials. The Beino video stars is also two whole minutes longer, but felt 20 minutes shorter. It was like night and day compared to the first special and I found the sequel just flowed really, really well.

Nothing outstayed its welcome at all. Part three, the animation and editing. Okay. Hello. Here we go. The animation is better. I think it's not Disney and it's not even Hannah Barbara, frankly, but it's good for a cheap British production. Not a huge improvement mind on the first, but certainly done better. It has what I would call a wonky charm. The bean of video on the other hand was mostly just wonky, but this steps it up quite a bit.

Nothing is as ugly as the face the music short from the first video. The animation layouts are superior in every way and in the first video the best short was the pink love. Here I would say everything is to the pink love level of quality or better. To be clear though, it's still not great with a lot of cheap stuff. like here at the end in the crowd. The weird popping up and down of these generic PNG boys with plug and thankfully it doesn't linger on it too long before cutting away.

And that leads me into the biggest improvement. The editing is tight. My god, it feels like they really learned a lot from their first go on the Bino video. Here is a reminder of some of the horribly awkward and lingering moments from the first one. This pupil has the best teeth. Follow that rose. >> Nothing like that happens here. Everything cuts and flows like it should. Honestly, I know we got the amazing 1996 Dennis show after this, but I really wish we had gotten a third video in the series.

You could have called it the Bino Video Stars cartoon. Keep the confusion. I'm all for it. The game was certainly up tier. Both the Bino video 1993 and the Bino video stars 1994 were produced by different production studios. The Bino video 1993 by Living Doll Productions and the Bino Video Stars 1994 by Flick Films Ltd, both for DC Thompson and Polygram video. I think one more go at it, they could have made something special.

Imagine they made another video or DVD in '98 or 99 and were able to translate the be story line or do other famous stories like Nasher is missing. Maybe that could have been the through line throughout the show. You could have had Dennis looking for Nasher and have other cartoons playing. They could have also introduced more characters like Calamity James or Crazy for Daisy. It is a shame I feel we didn't get another as from what I have seen the videos were relatively successful.

This one, for instance, won a British animation award in 1996 for children's choice special, as well as an award for best special in 1995. Something I want to really praise Video Stars for is its translation of comic to cartoon. All of the shorts do a good job being translated to and working in a new medium. In particular, particularity, It's a Dad's Day. This really felt like a mini the Minkx comic come to life. They also did a really faithful adaption of the Bastri kids makeover and stayed very loyal to the comic.

Even the three bears, which aren't my favorites here, feel like their strips come to life and thankfully is as short as a classic Three Bears comic, but more on that later. Part four, the characters. We have all our returning characters from the first video. Dennis, Nasher, and Nipper. For some reason, he's back, too. We also get Dennis's mom briefly this time. and even what may be a prototype Colonel from the Dennis the Menace series.

I have heard claims he appeared in the comic before, but I just can't find any proof of that and I have barely looked. And if I don't, who will? One of you watching this? Well, I certainly hope you do. It would help me out a lot honestly. Now, the real star you want to know about. Yes, Big Guns Walter the Softy has returned, and he is even more wonderful than ever. His mumsy also pops up, but Fortunately, not as the pink love.

There is also Minnie as well as the three bears this time without added Hank. And of course, what is the bino without the bash street kids? We get some new deoos as well as we have Ivy the Terrible and her parents. A 100% translation direct from the comics. I don't know why, but I was impressed with just how accurate they look. They almost look a bit too modern compared to the other, shall we say, more vintage characters.

She isn't the only new face as we also get Billy Whiz. He technically doesn't get his own official short, but as mentioned, he has a little segment of him running to the South Pole. And these scenes are all probably more complex and detailed than most of what we saw in the first Bino video. Particularly this shot with all the pengans. Oddly, they decided to make him a ginger. Maybe they felt there were too many baldheaded or little-haired boys in the Bastry kids. dodging.

Another special is Roger the Dodger. Why is there no Roger the Dodger? He is one of the big four. Him, Dennis, Mini, and the Bastry Kids. He should be here. A commentator on the last video review had a theory that it was perhaps due to his chessboard jumper design, which would probably be a nightmare to animate, which yeah, I can see, especially when the budget is this low. They could have stuck him in the audience, though, and just moved his head and given him a line or two.

I really think they could have fitted him in. He is on the cover, so it is borderline false advertising if you ask me. The cinema sitting I feel was also a big missed opportunity to have some cameos from other characters like Biffo, Lur Snooty, or even Joe King. Hell, throw in Desperan too. Why not? You could have done some simple reaction shots and silhouettes of them instead of the randos. It also seemed like another missed opportunity not to have Les pretend be the host and have him pretend to be some sort of British person.

Perhaps if they had made a third we could have finally gotten Roger and some of the others to make an appearance. The biggest snub though has to go to Cutbert. Did Did I say it right? Cut. Okay, I'm glad that is sorted. Anyways, Cubert isn't here, which annoys me. I say justice for Cubert. I'll be in trouble for that one. Part five, music, sound effects, and voice actors. Really not my area of expertise, but I have a thing or two to say about a thing or two.

Let's start with a positive. I didn't notice any music or sound effects. Now, you may be pondering, wait, that sounds like a bad thing, but no, no, no. So, sorry. It is actually a good thing, just not a great thing. The music blends in so while it isn't amazing or even memorable. It is more importantly not distracting. None of that awful crunching music introducing shorts like the first one. And the sound effects are more tolerable and not so obnoxious.

Now a negative. While this video does contain maybe the greatest rap since Go Ninja Go Ninja Go, it does also have some other less than hectic songs. The Bash Street Kid song in particular particularity is very bad, but I guess that was the gag, so we will give it a pass. We also get a song about the video itself at the end, which I have already forgotten. Perhaps it's due to them being heavily overshadowed by this work of art.

So, no more beating around the bush. Let's check it in and check it out. Let's see this new dance sensation right across the nation. [Music] [Applause] There's something going down. You better hold on tight. It's the latest thing in town. Slam. When the kids are rapping, zap, anything can happen. Get out here and say yeah. Going to make you feel good. It's a kids in a dancing move. There's Dennis, Nasha, Ivy, and Tootses, and Danny Chucking in his rapping boots.

Check it in. >> Check it out. >> Check it in. >> Check it out. >> It's a dance sensation right across the nation. Check it in. >> Check it out. >> Check it in. Check it out. >> It's a dance sensation right across the nation. Check it out. >> Big shout. The rap. Everybody dance. Let me see you move about. Check it out. Big shout. >> It's a cartoon rap. Anything can dance, jump around, or move about. And there be no kids.

You know anything. [Music] >> If you're ever in the street and you hear the beat, don't turn your back. Just start to move your feet. So join in with the others. All the sisters and the brothers. Dance around and move about. Pump it up and let it out. Check it in. >> Check it out. >> Check it in. >> Check it out. >> It's a dance sensation. A cartooning animation. Check it in. >> Check it out. >> Check it in. Check it out. >> It's a dance sensation.

A cartoon in animation. Check it out. >> Big rap. Everybody dance. Let me see about it. >> It's a cartoon rap. Anything can dance. Jump around and move about when the kids are [Music] moving. When you're feeling really down, stop tearing out your hair. Start acting kind of brave. It's a chance to take a dare. Bend over backwards. >> I'll hold it right there. Now, stand up straight. Put your elbows in the air. >> Give me a D.

D. >> Give me an M. M. D for Dennis. >> M for menace. >> Give me a D. D. >> Give me an M. M. M for menace. >> D for Dennis. >> Check it in. >> Check it out. >> Check it in. >> Check it out. >> It's a dance sensation. A cartoon in animation. Check it in. >> Check it out. >> Check it in. >> Check it out. >> It's a dance sensation. A cartoon animation. Check it in. >> Check it out. Check it in. >> Check it out. It's a dance sensation right across the nation. >> Wow, that truly was a dance sensation in cartooning and animation.

I'll tell you what, when the beo kids are rapping, you know anything can happen. Big shout. It's cheesy. It's bad, but you know what? It's fun. I don't hate this. It's not on my gym playlist or anything, but that is mostly due to me never going to the gym. They use a few other song snippets in this special, which I'm not sure. I think may be actual songs. So in summation, music not great but much better than before and that rap is iconic.

Now for the voices, they are better. Maybe I think there are certainly more of them, but not enough. Susan Sheridan, talented as she is, thankfully doesn't voice everybody this time. Last time she did Dennis, Minnie, Ma Bear, and most of the Bastri kids, as well as Minnie's fans. She is still in this though, don't worry. reprising some roles like Walter's mom and unfortunately a lot of the battery kids again, but at least it's not all the main characters this time.

A teenager called Mark Pickard voiced Dennis this time around, though I couldn't find if he did anything else after this. He is okay. He does a decent job for what it is. He actually sounds like a boy, so what more can you ask for? I wasn't a fan at first, but I enjoyed the voice more on my second watch. Minnie's new voice is great. I like the old one a lot, but I give the edge here to the new voice performed by Nicholas Stapleton.

Fresh off of EastEnders. She does a really great job. Maybe my favorite voice performance in the whole thing. A lot of voices here you will recognize from the first. Gary Martin, an OG, returns and voices Nasher and many, many more. One of his voices you will recognize as Pie Face from the 96 Dennis series. Not too much to say here. It is more of the same as the Bino video with a bit more variety. Again, the editing is improved so it stops any awkward pauses and some of the faster scenes are really funny like this random nurse and doctor. >> Here we are, doctor. >> Why, thank you, nurse. >> Some voices I didn't love included Spotty with a weird lisp thing and Danny with his mini the Ming voice from the Bino video.

Head's voice is different, too. I like it, but he doesn't have any lines as iconic as Oh, what a handsome mask. >> Cloak was probably the best Bastri kid voice, which is good as he is more or less the main character in their cartoon. Her Bert's voice. I don't know. It's bad and out of place, but no, I don't. It's only 45. >> It's kind of funny. Part five, the cartoons. I will go through this chronologically because why not?

There aren't as many and they transition into each other well enough. We start with Dennis playing with his imagination and of course assaulting dear Walter for no reason. He does also mess with a whole platoon first which is more impressive than just beating up an innocent boy doing um doing uh it's just his nose. I swear. My goodness. Anyways, in between his delinquent assaults, the feral Dennis makes snowmen and plays pretend.

He uses the snowmen to hurt people. And it all culminates in a snowball fight with the army, giving us this transition into the mini cartoon. An okay cartoon, not hectic, but good enough for what it is. It doesn't touch the pink glove, though. I do like the Dennis design here, and Nasher is proper mutlyesque, as to be expected. Some occasionally awkward drawings and moments. We did get a cut in the middle to the audience watching and I'm not sure if it helped or hindered the cartoon as to be honest this was only okay at best.

Let's move on though to the next one and see how Minnie fares in Jelly Babies. First of all, Minnie looks great, so comic accurate and the voice is so good. I wish we had gotten a 96 mini cartoon with Nicholas Stapleton. Imagine CBBC or whoever could have had a whole Bino afternoon and they could have done crossovers. It's not too late. It could still be done. Back to the short. Minnie is upset there are no jelly babies left, particularly the green ones, and goes a little bit mad.

She starts seeing everything become a jelly baby. I get the idea. It's the whole cartoon trope of when you were hungry, you start seeing everyone as a giant cooked chicken. Unfortunately, it happens here so abruptly though, it doesn't completely work. I just thought at first everyone was actually turning into jelly babies. It took a while before I even realized. Look at this demented baby, by the way. Oh my goodness.

And this isn't even the creepiest infant we will see today. Next, Minnie steals a park man's hat and gets up to some mincing as she leaves a red jelly baby on his head to attract bees. Oh, wait a minute. I thought she had none. >> I don't like the red ones. >> Ah, okay. I will allow this. We get a lot of fun cartoony stuff here, like Minnie going between poles or this strange lady's walk. Already better than the Dennis cartoon.

She jumps out declaring this is a no green zone and tells the woman to hand over anything green, hoping for some of those lovely green jelly babies, but only get some rotten green cabbage for her trouble. Hey, it's Fatty Fudge. Everybody's favorite character. Pie face's voice coming out of him just cracks me up. He seems so optimistic about life with simple achievable goals. A good haircut. The sun is shining. All I need now is a belly full of jelly babies.

Minnie, of course, tries to ruin his day and tells him green jelly babies turn you bold. Minnie has no chill, though, and immediately sings about how great she is and eats them herself. It's only now, apparently, that the woman and Fatty start to realize. >> Wave minced. >> They decide revenge is a dish best served jelly. And the old woman comes up with a hilarious plan >> with this quick setting jelly. Jump on this fatty. >> I know Mrs.

Blink is up. >> Minnie gets stuck in her least favorite color jelly and bounces away to awkward laughter. This one was a banger. I don't know if it is pink love good story-wise as that is the measuring stick, but this one was certainly funnier, surpassing all of her Bino video shorts though for sure. Animation was very good for what it was, though again it has its yuck moments. Also love the backgrounds, particularly Minnie's house and some of the weird and strange backdrops like this one here.

It's good stuff. We get a little crowd interlude with plugs of set to be set behind an elephant. And I'm not talking about your mother. That was uncalled for. I'm sorry, but not as sorry as your mother is for having you. No. Anyone? Please. Tooth helps crank up Plug's neck to see and he becomes this nightmare creature. He is excited as it is his big moment next as the main character in the Bastry kids new school. The only Bastry short on the video film, so let's hope it's a good one.

It's certainly going to be the longest. The story is actually an adaption of a famous Bino story where they revamped the Bastry kids to make them more PC. It even made headlines in some newspapers. I have the comic pages, or at least some of them, but I want the real deal, so maybe in the future I can do some videos looking at the comic version and comparing it. I also want to do the same with the pink glove. Back to the cartoon, though.

We begin with the inspector arriving at a very rundown Bash Street and witnessing firsthand the Bash Street kids being feral little monsters attacking their teacher. Technically, they are discussing history, so it does have some educational value. This isn't the only issue affecting Bastri School, however, as we soon learn when Danny politely offers to show the inspector round in hopes of closing down the school. We see rats chasing the janitor's cash, shell shock teachers, acid tea, as well as head gambling the school's dinner budget and losing.

The inspector decides he has no choice but to close the school down and sack the faculty, which yeah, fair enough. The kids celebrate, but they are being a wee bit premature as the inspector hooks them in and prepares them for, let's say, re-education. He starts by having some horny doctor and nurse remodel Plug's face. Is Is she attracted to a child? Fatty is put into a rigorous training program to help him lose some weight.

Tooths gets the queer eye for the straight guy treatment. Danny is hypnotized. Wilfred has a jersey transplant, implying he always had a big chin. Bet receives contact lenses despite him never having his eyesight played up. Sydney gets a haircut. And finally, Smiffy receives a completely new brain. The inspector is having a fit over the improvements. Check out these three makeovers. Fatty is looking hunched. The biggest improvement, though, is left for last as Spotty reveals he's acne skin, and we get the oddest joke in the whole video.

Look at me, everyone. My skin's as smooth as a baby's bottom. >> Oh, yeah. Even smoother than mine. Look. >> Weird. We next get the reveal of the brand new state-of-the-art Bash Street Academy. It's It's beautiful. We are greeted by a robot and not our good friend Techno. Remember Techno? I think it's just me who remembers him, but at least we all remember Hoot. The robot guides them all inside. This shot of them walking.

Oh my god. Let's see it again. Disney eat your heart out. The school is very high-tech for 1994. I'm very impressed. Smiffy can do algebra upside down. And Danny wants extra homework. But what has the inspector most proud is Plug's new face. But of all my remodeling work, I think Plug's new face is my finest achievement. Don't you? Oh shucks. You're just saying that >> you are the handsomest creature in the world. >> No, I'm not. >> Yes, you are. >> You're just saying that to embarrass me, Mr.

Inspector. Alas, some things are not meant to last. The Bino video warned us that plastic surgery could not work for long on plug. So, handsome plug. He's back to normal and is shocked to see what has happened to his buddies, but is promptly expelled and thrown in the trash before he can do anything to help. Also, before we get back to the plot, has anyone else noticed the robot's nipples? I feel no one is talking enough about the robot nipple switches, and that's almost as weird as the robot's nipples.

Plug lands in the dump where all the old faculty now live, apparently, and in their madness have built a little cardboard school. They decide to spy hilariously and obviously on the new school to find a weakness for nipplebot. All their high-tech technology and they never thought of looking out the window. Teacher laments losing his career to a disc which gives Plug an idea. They record some awful music CD to insert into Nipplebot.

Speaking of Nipplebot, did you know he shoots lightning from his nipples? Well, he can. Sh. I'm replacing Nipplebot CD ROM disc with terrible music. Log replaces Nipplebot CD, causing him to dance and go haywire. We get this bowler tune. >> We're the kids from street school. Never behave. Break every rule. We the kids from factory school break every time. >> No, stop it. None of that shame. That was dreadful. Anyways, the kids escape as Nipplebot dies in extreme agony. >> Not the temple.

I'm alive. >> God damn. >> No. No. Please. Never lie. >> We then get a shot right out of Akira as Bash Street Academy explodes. They return to good old Bash Street and everything goes back to normal. A really fun Bashre kids cartoon. It is not as consistent perhaps as the Pink Love, but it certainly has higher highs. Easily the best Bash cartoon ever made. Plugman, he is a real star. I already did a video about how the Bastry Kids needed their own cartoon and what would make a good template and pilot story.

I think with some reworking, this one could be a perfect final episode to adapt as a Bastry Kids series finale if they ever made one. You could really up the epicness and stakes and do something really fun with it. The world needs a Bash Street series, but for now, this will have to do as what might have been. Back in the audience, we get the Billy Whiz segment next. It's not counted as an official cartoon on the set as it's just a little bit in between shorts.

He has a clearly sped up voice as he tells Fatty, >> "You're warm. I need some ice. Hold this a minute." >> Okay, really? >> We then see him run all the way to the South Pole and get back in time for Fattie's favorite, Minnie the Min. In an even better cartoon than her first one, It's a Dad's Life. Right off the bat, it is revealed that Minnie the Min's dad's name is actually George. It isn't Minnie's dad. As much as people like to try to make a bean continuity, there just isn't one.

George has been called at different times Victor Malcolm Darren Makepiece and the one I prefer, Mr. Minks. George isn't bad, though. I like to imagine it as a homage to Mooney boy George Mooney, the original Veno editor. Looks wise, this is classic flavor Mr. Minkx. We see him listening to his boss be very braggadocious about his own daughter. And it is hilarious. >> Oh, I love coming home after a hard day's work. Don't you, George? >> Well, boss, >> my little girl waiting for me at the front door with a big kiss and my slippers by the fire.

A little treasure she is. Is your little mini a treasure to you, George? >> Uh, well, >> do anything for me, my little angel, Will, is uh your little girl an angel, George. >> Uh, well, >> yes. Well, good night, George. It was jolly nice talking to you and uh see you at work in the morning. >> Yes. >> The boss's voice is so good. Done by Jonathan Kid who is all over these Bino videos and appears later in the Dennis the Menace series.

Minnie's dad returns home dejected and wishing he could start life over to which Minnie happily obliges. Minnie speedruns a life over roleplay for her dad which turns out to be a ruse to trick him into doing her homework. But unfortunately for this little Minx, he is worse at school than even her. Being so terrible at sums, Minnie decides that her dad, in his new life, would have no choice but to run away from home and become a clown.

He is about to get really fed up with her shenanigans. But then she declares him king of Bottown. And George, that was weird. And Minnie's dad goes completely insane and loses all touch with reality. As he is having this midlife crisis, his jovial boss walks by and Minnie in full acting mode makes him feel bad for overworking her dad and causing his meltdown. Minnie gets the boss to give them two free tickets to the fairground and we see them have a wholesome moment as Minnie's dad realizes his life isn't so bad after all.

Adorable. Not as elaborate as the Bastri kids short, but honestly just as entertaining. We get lots of great moments like when Minnie's dad puts on a helmet as he arrives home. He then runs through a series of minis traps that would leave any soldier with some serious PTSD. This is the best translation I feel of a Bino comic strip to cartoon ever done. The Pink Love and the Bastry Kids New School were both multi-part stories.

This one feels like it could have been a standard two-page comic like in the weekly Bino. It hits all the beats and works pretty well. Other very faithful Bino comic translations have been very dull and weirdly paced, but this one nails the formula. The shorter length helped in this. It never stayed in one place too long to get dull. Mini's actress also does a really great job here as does Jonathan Kid as both the dad and the boss.

It's the Bino rap time after this. And again, I love it, but I'm not sure it all, you know, rhymes that well. It is gloriously cheesy though and I love that part in the middle. Let's go to the next cartoon featuring the return of the three bears in Bag those pipes. The backgrounds are a little more realistic and detailed this time around. They are fine, but I definitely prefer the ones from the Beino video. This cartoon I'm not a huge fan of.

The animation is better than the previous shorts, but the cartoon being based around these bag pipes is so annoying. The bears want to steal food from Hank, but he is having a Scottish day, but is so terrible at the bag pipes, it keeps the bears away. They throw a cactus at him or something after shaving at first because of course. Then instead of taking the food, they chase the bag pipes, which have become sentient for some reason.

H I don't care for this, but the audience are losing their mind over it. Almost unwatchable with the annoying bag pipes, but mercifully short. A nice shakeup next as we get some parody commercials. The three beers commercial for ma porridge as a handy alternative to wall filler is funnier than their actual cartoon. The Nasher's Nashes commercial before it is a bit weird. Look at this image of Nasher. He's a monster. Some kind of weird rat dog.

Have no fear though, as the Walter commercial next is great. It's classic beacons. He wonders why his mother, the pink glove, hands are so soft as she reveals it's because she makes dad do the washing up. Also, check out the baps of Walter's mom. Heyo. Walter's mom really has it going on. Next is Dennis's mom, who instead of making dad do it, has Rasher eat it. Shut up, Dennis's mom. The final commercial is the party sounds, which I really wonder if they got clearance to use the songs in it.

They are very short clips though, and let's face it, I'm not one to judge about using clips you don't own. Now, it's the deoo of Ivy the Terrible as she plays make believe with her stuffed animals and wants to release them all back into the wild, which of course causes mayhem. Everyone is mad at Ivy, but she is, you know. Three, her parents were so negligent, they let their daughter walk around town all alone and unsupervised for what I assume is at best an hour and at worst several.

Some funny gags though in this one, like the fish having pegs on their uh fish noses swimming by people's smelly feet. Also, this bat scene. Oo, matron. The cartoon ends with Ivy going to sleep and dreaming about real animals having Ivy plushies. I had super low expectations here and it overd delivered. Ivy and her parents are drawn so accurately to their comic counterparts. I guess she was a bit more modern when she was created.

Another really good comic to cartoon translation. Iivey's voice also was very good and very droll for a three-year-old >> because it's not fair and they don't like it. >> No, you don't. >> Now, you are all probably wondering where is Nipper. No, you aren't. Well, he is here in Flutterby. Nasher laughs at his pup as he has a sneezing fist from a butterfly who won't get off his nose. Nipper eventually smashes himself in the face with a hammer as Nasher continues to chuckle it up.

Nipper then immediately misses the butterfly, I guess. But don't worry, it comes back right away, so all is good. Hooray. But what's this? Beautiful boy Walter out with a net looking for butterflies. We could have a real misunderstanding here, but actually we don't. As Walter just skips on by and the butterfly leaves by itself. He never touches it, but Nipper is upset, so Nasher mauls and attacks Walter, who literally did nothing, and steals his bow for Nipper.

This was totally unprovoked. That rat dog should be put down if you ask Old Ashley. Maybe the worst cartoon so far, and it's losing some steam, so might be time to start wrapping things up. Well, what do you know? It's time for the final cartoon, Dennis Meetsy's match. Something I haven't pointed out yet is that there are a lot of really nice establishing shots of the town throughout the entire video. And we have another nice one right here.

If you look closely, one house seems to be on its side and another appears to be a teacup and beside it, a duck house with a cap. In the top right corner, you can see a castle. Perhaps the abboard of our beloved Mama Duke, Lord Snooty of Bunkerton. Also, for such a small town, there are farms, castles, rivers, big football pitches, and a mountain range that makes Switzerland jealous. Bino Town has it all. We zoom in and see all these animals in love.

I particularly like the design of this blue cat. Anyways, Dennis and his gigantic rat dog are not impressed. However, they have no love in their hearts. But here comes Softy Walter, who is really the most effeminite I have ever seen him. He is so over the top. He tells Dennis nothing he can do can upset him today which the menace and the rat take as a challenge. First they soak him with a hose and big guns laughs it off.

The attackis poor eardrums next with terrible music but they can't suppress the song and big gun Walter's heart. Walter smile as they try to annoy him is so good. As they plan their next assault, Walter just prances in place and says hello to life. He ain't scared of nothing. He doesn't even flinch as Dennis nearly flies a plane into his face and smiles after they bomb him with eggs and flour. He truly is big guns, tough as nails.

So, what has made him so tough? Well, our darling boy Walter, it turns out, is in love. At first, we think it is with Cynthia, the threetime Benottown beauty queen. But in what I'm sure would not fly today, well, maybe on Reddit, a lot of weirdos on there and not just me. We learn Walter is actually in love with her baby Dolly. Okay, loving a baby dolly that much is just weird. But Cynthia is what, 12 or something? What is a threetime Beletown beauty winner doing pushing a baby doll in a tram around town?

There is blame here on both sides, I think. But of course, it is poor Walter who gets hurt and is sent flying into his teacher's prize watermelon or something. The teacher is furious and tells poor Walter he is no longer teacher's pest. So Walter walks home crying and worrying about what his monsy will say. That poor boy. Dennis and Cynthia celebrate their needless bullying of an innocent boy when all of a sudden Cynthia plants a big wet one on bad boy Dennis.

Dennis screams after clearly enjoying it first. So, in a real duck a muk last action hero moment, Dennis stops the film and jumps out of the silver screen and runs towards projection and removes the kissing part. As he does this, the audience somehow freezes. H, don't overthink it. It's just a bit of fun. Look at that big smile on his face, though. He was clearly loving it. After he takes the scene out, he replays the film, and this time he refuses to kiss and runs away.

We get the credits to another kind of catchy yet forgettable song. As Nasher dances, but it's not over just yet. As everyone is leaving, Dennis is still on the run from Cynthia, who apparently doesn't believe in consent. He jumps into the alien spaceship to escape her needy clutches. But just when he thinks he is safe, another alien pops up looking for a little kissy kissy from Dennis. Should have stayed back on Earth with Cynthia. >> Dennis, I love you.

Daddy, [Music] we get one more bit of who I assume is the cook from Bastry Kids cleaning up, telling us to leave or watch the tape again. Well, day we are. That was the Bino video stars, a very strange but fun relic of the '9s. I probably enjoyed this a little too much. It's the nostalgia. It's really powerful. I don't think anyone who doesn't love the Bino should go anywhere near this really, but if you do love the Bino, I think you will like this quite a bit.

It does everything better than its predecessor. This would help Dennis the Menace get a series in 96, but Mini the Mink and the Battery Kids both had better cartoons here than Dennis and deserve shows just as much for themselves. The second Dennis cartoon is very fun in just how weird it is, though. If you have some time to kill, give this a watch. It's always being uploaded to YouTube. Maybe if we watch it enough times, he might finally give us that Bash Street Kids or Mini the Mink cartoon.

Who knows? Anyways, toodles. [Music] [Applause] We've had a great time. Now it's time we were gone. We've moved and we've groove with the beo video stars video stars. It shouldn't belong until we are back with a smash and a crash and a laughter attack video. from Venova now.
