BORING, its a dumb plot about a lake monster
Jonathan Barnes
Why was this a theatrical release?
Samuel Turner
better than the second one

Its hilarious the creator of Doug is as much of an autistic beta as the character he created
>It’s my ten-year reunion, and I didn’t go. I was in New York working like crazy as a freelancer and just trying to make it there. And I got a phone call in New York and it’s Patti. The real Patti. And my heart’s beating fast. She’s like, ‘I was at the reunion! You weren’t!’ and I was like, ‘Yeah…sorry…I had to work.’ And she goes, ‘I found out you live in New York. Guess what—I do, too!’ And she told me where she lives. We lived across Central Park from each other. And she says, ‘Why don’t you come over for dinner?’
>So now we’re in a Doug show. I’m like, what do I wear? What will she look like!? All that’s happening as I’m walking across Central Park to her apartment, just wondering and just hoping, all those things. I was, at the time, very available.
>I get to the door, and you get buzzed up in New York, and so I walk up to the apartment and I hear the lock turn—it’s getting ready to happen—and she opens the door, and she’s perfect. Just perfect. She just looks spectacular and she’s so happy, and her arms fly up and we hug, and I’m just like [frightened guttural gasping noises]. She backs up and she goes ‘Look, Jimmy! Boobs! I got my boobs!’ [Laughs.] It sounds like I’m making this up, right? And I’m like, ‘Yeah… yeah, uh huh!’ ‘Yeah, they always used to call me Flatty Patti, but look!’ And she was just funny and fun and innocent, but it’s like Doug and Patti together again, ten years later, right?
>So this is all wonderful, right? And then she wheels and goes, ‘Oh, Jimmy, I want you to meet my husband.’
>And I don’t even remember the rest of the evening.

The movie is really about Skeeter and his lake monster buddy while Doug just kind of stands in front of whatever's happening and makes it all about him. Doug's a bastard who needs to get the fuck out.
Lucas Jackson
Like everything else Doug-related (and especially disney's doug-related) it's boring as sin and not even memorable as a "oh, yeah I saw that once as a kid I think" kinda thing.
Literally the only thing of worth that franchise has ever brought this world is the "YOU BROKE MY GRILL" scene
David Jackson
>It's a Patti cries about her mom episode
Disney really tried pushing Patti as being the co-star of the show.

I am physically incapable of doing anything but laughing when I see some cartoon character crying at a tombstone that just says "MAYONNAISE" on it
I don't think they thought this through.

I've been looking for an animated episode of Nick Arcade with the original Nicktoons cast from the Nickelodeon cable launch. it was 1979, or close to it. Doug hadn't given birth to his younger sister Judy yet, but as we all know, he would within days of the episode. the games were green screen as was the style at the time. one was Sonic, that much I remember. there might have been a Resident Evil too, and of course Call of Duty.
Doug, as most celebrity guests were, was awful at the games. he constantly died and then would look at the camera and give a "Dear Journal" speech. somehow, he came in second to Ginger Foutley, which I was surprised to see considering she had killed herself a few years ago. beating a pregnant Doug was still an accomplishment, as Judy was also given a controller and their scores counted together.
since he lost, he was deleted from the show. as in, completely deleted. it was like when a film strip catches on fire. I was scared that he would be deleted from his own show as well, but luckily there were different animators and he did not disappear from Doug like he did Nick Arcade. it was quite haunting though, and I can still hear his screams when I close my eyes.
the animated Nick Arcades were hard to come by especially since most betamax players from that time were damaged in the nuclear war with the Soviet Union. still, I distinctly remember this episode and hope to see it again. I think Doug could have gotten more points in Sonic if he had used the spin dash.

I remember some time ago I was preaching from door to door with an older brother when I started whistling the Disney theme for Doug and he asked me what was I whistling and I told him it was a cartoon I watched as a kid and he asked me what was it about
And I felt extremely embarrassed because I didn't know how to tell him because for one I hadn't watched this show in years and second I don't recall anything special about this show so I told him to not mind since it's a boring show and everyone has a weird skin color

>it's a Patti Bebe and Connie dance barefoot for no real reason episode
Too bad that episode is lost media.
Ryder Martinez
Why was doug so obsessed with Patti anyway?
Angel Cooper
Man, that robot..
Charles Anderson
Is this the movie where Doug gets killed by a Columbian hit squad after refusing to kill a journalist?
Nolan Cooper
Reminder that Disney Doug sucks and the movie sucks even harder.
Bentley Cruz

Please let this be real
Zachary Gonzalez
For a moment I read your post, looked at the pic, and laughed hard as well

>Figured this movie was a flop
>Made just under 20 million dollars on a five million dollar budget
Huh.
Evan James
A bunch of weird and absurd shit happened in it which defeats the whole fucking purpose of the show.
The world of Doug is a bit quirky but still grounded in reality. This is meant to contrast with Doug's absurd fantasies where things go crazy. When you have weird stuff happening in reality like lake monsters it defeats the purpose of Doug's fantasies and ultimately the show.
Jonathan Evans
Read this dozens of times every now and then when a Doug thread pops up.
Still never ceases to make me feel a slight sting as I've been through that before.
Anthony Cooper
It is.
Levi Wood
The show was 8 years old at the time, but was among Nick's highlight of shows back then.
Nicholas Hall

Every time.

You left out the best part where the husband says "Well if it isn't my old pal Funnie!"
Dylan White
Eh, the Sequels were Better. Doug's 4th Movie was definitely the BEST.
Owen Sanders
>not knowing Doug You Raped Patti
Holy shit how did summer start in March?
Elijah Peterson
It's Doug's 1st movie, not first. The distinction is important because it aired on the 1 Saturday Morning block where the identifier was a serif 1. They wanted a serif 1 in the title.
Xavier Mitchell
Jesus l feel bad for that guy
Samuel Thompson
Thats because its not part of the actual story
Austin Gray
When Doug came on, One Saturday Morning turned into One Shit Morning.
Kevin Gonzalez
Because every TV cartoon wanted a movie after the Rugrats Movie made a bazillion dollars.
Wyatt Phillips
t. autism
Carson Long
And yet, it had animation only slightly worse than Hunchback II.
I will never get the logic of Disney Execs.
Wyatt Gutierrez
Your hitting the nail on the head more then you realize. NICKELOEON's Doug was quirky but still grounded in reality. When the show moved, DISNEY's Doug took things to more absurb and weird. As such, the movie with a actual lake monster fit with what Doug had become at that specific time. But that is why the overall consensus in Disney's Doug was dismissed, forgotten, and now borderline lost media.
Brody Howard
Still waiting for someone to post THAT gif (or webm)!
Jonathan Butler
I met him in person, and he really is like Doug. Aside from the way he acts, you can just feel it.
In regards to the first movie, I told him I enjoyed it and he looked genuinely shocked that anyone even remembered it.
Adrian Thompson
I'm really hoping the rumors about Doug's 7th movie being made are true. That would be one hell of a comeback.
Cameron Fisher
Exactly; a Doug movie shouldn't have a giant salamander or a robot in it. It should either be a bunch of short vignettes about his life or some life obstacle that a normal kid would face.
At most, the most fanciful it got should be something like the Christmas episode. Sure, putting a dog on actual trial is weird but Bluffington is a strange place. But strange in the sense that a bunch of odd people live there, not in the "kid who wins the lottery has a robot built with full functional AI built overnight" sense.

Does anyone have the old copy pasta or screen cap where user did this at his gf's house?

Am I retarded? I thought Doug was a Nickelodeon show?
Bentley Smith
But that's what made Recess the movie kind of work. The stakes are higher than in the show as a global conspiracy to tilt the earth off it's axis (and inadvertently melt the ice caps and raise the sea levels, drowning millions) would erase the ultimate recess: summer vacation.
Joseph Morales
It was at first. But then Disney bought the rights and made their own season and movie.
Samuel James
I'm sure Doug was a much bigger deal when Nick had it but I still find it absurd that of all the nicktoons they coulda gotten Disney bought fucking Doug.
Caleb Morales
>season
Three seasons.
Nathaniel Stewart
You got a laugh out of me, user. Funniest thing I've seen on this shithole in weeks.

Back when The Rugrats Movie first released into theaters, Disney's Doug was one of the most popular television cartoons that Disney owned and aired. While never the megahit like Rugrats was or Pokemon was (and still is), Doug still was a very recognizable brand and its then-great ratings helped propel ABC to #1 in the Saturday morning ratings race. The fact that a DTV movie of the show was already near-done just two years after the Disney episodes began premiering shows how popular the brand was back then.
Combine that with the major profits of The Rugrats Movie and you had a perfect climate for executives to make foolish decisions like moving a DTV movie to the big screen at last minute.
The situation surrounding Doug meant it was the Nicktoon most vulnerable to a buyout for a few reasons:
-Like the other two first Nicktoons, Doug wasn't produced in-house when it first aired.
-Unlike Klasky Csupo (Rugrats), Jumbo formed a strained relationship with Nick (Nick wouldn't allow Jumbo to produce the last 13 episodes of Doug the later was contracted to make due to budget reasons).
-Unlike the situation with Ren and Stimpy., Nick didn't have enough interest in Doug to take over production of the show when hostilities came about.

Been a while since I've seen this.

Doug had a case of oneitis.
