Movie Reviews of Groovie Goolies: Saturday Mourning Collection
Movie Review: Proof that monsters aren't always evil
Summary: 5 Stars
Remember these guys? I know I sure do. Groovie Goulies is a great way to releave stress with it's Laughin styled script. Each disk is a wonderful barage of brght psychedelic colors, cool music, and bad jokes that only a vampire clould love. Speaking of vampires, Our star Drak or Daddio as he sometimes called seems a bit of a square against the rest of the carachtures such as Frankie who aloways seems to be very child-like and somwhat dopy, and Wolfy who just happens to be the resident hippy at Horrible Hall. Generaly speaking, The Groovy Goulies are perfect
for those times when one feels lonely and very much out of place.
It's a great reminder that even monsters have their place in the world and that no matter how strange you think you are you still belong even if you don't believe it.
Summary of Groovie Goolies: Saturday Mourning Collection
A spinoff of the Archie comic book and television series the 1970s Saturday morning cartoon GROOVIE GOOLIES followed the musical adventures of a hipster rock band that also happened to be classic horror-movie monsters like Frankenstein Wolfman Mummy and Dracula. This collection presents 16 of the quirky charming series' best episodes. Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating:?NR UPC:?787364721597Groovie Goolies: Saturday Mourning Collection is a sprightly anthology of episodes from Filmation's 1970 Groovie Goolie cartoon series, a kind of kooky-spooky cousin to Filmation's other hit program, The Archies. A fascinating reflection of different strains in pop entertainment at the time, Groovie Goolies is thick with rapid-fire puns and blackout gags akin to Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, sugary tunes a la The Archies, and nostalgia for those monster team-up films once made by Universal (House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula). The basic idea is that relatively friendly variations on the best-known film fiends-Frankenstein's monster, the Wolfman, Dracula, Vampira, the Mummy, etc.-all hang out together in Horrible Hall, getting into wacky scrapes and banging out happy hits as a band. Tall, green, stooped, and ominous, Frankie is a lovable klutz with a voice like Boris Karloff and a thing for birdwatching and exercise. Hirsute Wolfie is a beatnik werewolf, Count Drac is a somewhat cranky vampire with a gift for wordplay ("This place is driving me batty!"), and Bella La Ghostly is a scary siren in a tight, tight dress. Somehow, in the middle of all this, a familiar face from another cartoon (and comic book) appears on occasion: the comely Sabrina, the teenage witch. Episodes include "When I Grow Up," in which Drac, Wolfie, and Frankie visit Drac's "game room" (actually an old-fashioned dungeon); "Feed the Ghost Some Garlic," about a baseball game that dissolves (like a lot of athletic endeavors on this show) into pure nuttiness; "Darlin' Darlin'," in which Frankie and Wolfie try (with wacky results) to help Drac when he's having trouble turning into a bat; and "Goolie Swing," which introduces viewers to Drac's art collection (including the "Moaning Lisa" and a self-portrait by Vincent Van Gool). Shamelessly silly. --Tom Keogh
