"Hall of the mountain king" having the boss speed up while the music gets more intense is too good for a 5 dollar game on the windows store

At 20:29, I know the source for that. The cactus character was not exactly a traced character, but the dancing animation comes from Lackadaisy, specifically the "Jazz Cat Dance." It was probably made as a cactus to avoid copyright, but the animation it comes from came out TWO YEARS AGO
@FirbolgVagabond
So glad so many people have pointed out that the cactus dance is from Lackadaisy, because I recognized it immediately but couldn't for the life of me place it. I'm willing to bed the reason it's a totally original cactus character and not just fully traced like the others is because Lackadaisy is VERY recent and very popular, so tons of people would have instantly recognized the character.
@millymauce
This game REALLY did their homework, and by homework I mean copied every student in the class' homework to create this amalgamation of quite the...rubberhose rampage, you could say.
@roseludenberg881
kind of off topic, but at 17:24 the man is the inspiration for Cagney Carnation’s idle animation. rubber hose rampage and cuphead are two “similar” games, but show the difference between taking inspiration in an endearing way to straight up tracing
@Matt_0417
As a classic animation nerd, it's kind of incredible how I actually recognize most of these stolen animations lmfao. "Pigs in a Polka" and "Swing You Sinners" are some of my favorites. Also, sadly, I do not know what the cactus is from
@prof.cschaosworkshop
That dancing character in the desert at 20:55 reminds me a bit of Ivy’s dance from Lackadaisy, is it potentially from that or was that video derived from something else too? I don’t know personally, but it looks pretty accurate! (Edit- never mind, someone already commented about it and yes that’s exactly what it was!)
@p0laris74yt8
For the cactus’ animation, it looks like the dance the girl character does from promotional material for the show “Lackadaisy”. In which case is VERY ILLEGAL considering how recent that is compared to everything else. Could be wrong, though, so feel free to take what I said with a grain of salt. Edit: rewatched the video I’m referencing about for it, and I’m 100% sure that it’s it. And that was released 2-3 years ago now, so it’s definitely the furtherest from being public domain, with Cuphead being second.
@dexterity494
The fact that so many characters are in public domain feels more like luck than intentional choice. I feel like the dev just went "yeah these animations look nice" and didn't care when they came out. It just so happened that most were around the time steam boat Willie did, and thus weren't copyrighted
@Shark-Fist
23:26 It's worth noting that the sun in the background of this stage is ALSO a band logo. It belongs to the Grateful Dead, a jam band that was famous throughout the 70s and 80s. The log cabin and turtle in the background were likewise lifted from the cover of their 1977 album, Terrapin Station.
@mikethewhizz5085
Enchanted portals did one thing really well, and that was having the art style changing in the game become a mechanic. I wouldn't have been surprised if the original premise for the game would have been to play the bosses in different art styles, and the rubber hose style was shown in the first trailer to keep the main gimmick of the game under wraps for a bigger surprise later, but it immediately backfired. I still absolutely WANT this premise to be true, and maybe some game in future to work like this. Maybe one of the levels could be entirely clip art 😂

@michaelmann7816
At 29:00, it simultaneously amuses and annoys me that they kept the animation speed constant while speeding up the movement, making the boss ice skate around.
@goldierr4107
Uhyeah, the animation of the cactus dancing is from an Indie Animated show called “Lackadaisy” , it is in a short called “Lackadaisy-Jazz Dance Cat loop” The dance the cactus is doing is called the Charleston
@aissamhemmani6339
21:58 rubber hose rampage is my favorite touhou fangame
@Grizz-Barr
17:24 That is LITERALLY the EXACT same dance that Cagney Carnation does. That’s just funny.
@n_art_cissist
18:24 „gyped” (sometimes spelled gipped, gypped or jipped) is a slur against both Egyptian and Romani people, but more commonly used against Romani people. It comes specifically from portraying Romani peoples as thieves or swindlers and comes from the g slur (g*psy). The g slur also comes from the incorrect assumption that Romani and Traveller peoples are from Egypt when they are originally from India/Pakistan and immigrated to European countries. I don’t blame you for saying it just be aware it is a racial slur in the future. Betty boop also has racist connotations, being used in racial propaganda cartoons and being inspired heavily by a famous black woman, Baby Esther, so much so that people have often forgotten who she was inspired by or that the catch phrase „boop oop a doop” came from Esther. A lot of the characters featured in old cartoons, including Mickey, unfortunately have a history that includes minstrel blackface, racism, antisemitism and other things we wouldn’t not consider appropriate or okay today.
@CartoonRaccoon88
Also 1. you forget to mention that during the mad scientist fight, that Frankenstein looking ass is wearing a Misfits t shirt 2. That Santa boss animation is from the Betty Boop cartoon “Be Human”
@Xsplatoon3
I remember seeing that moon at 20:21. I first saw it in the book "The invention of Hugo Cabret" and that's ALSO when I learned about it's creator, George Méliès, who made multiple movies back in the early 1900s. And I read that book a LOT. So I basically have that moon integrated into my mind.
