Also to clarify there’s no best moments on the list because everything but the 10 worst things is good stuff. Best movies and best characters, 10 cool things I liked that doesn’t fit in either category, and then the return of the Pontoffel Pock Award for Biggest Fictional Fuckup

I like the focus on Neefa Feefa’s eyes in Pontoffel Pock, Where Are You. She’s an eyeball dancer and Pock falls in love with her just by making eye contact. Her eyes are the only part of her face you see and they’re a huge focus. They do some serious close-ups of them, too.

Damn, gurl, you got some seriously hypnotic eyes. I think even I’m falling for them.

Anyway, after she and Pontoffel Pock are about to escape, but she falls of the piano and is left behind, we see her crying and singing at the top of the tower, waiting for him to come back. When he finally does, we get another close-up of them big ol’ eyes.

She’s been crying ever since he left. They made sure her makeup was smudged because of course it would be if she was crying that long. I don’t know, I just... really like that they did that.

Happy Dr. Seuss Day! Here’s some Dr. Seuss related drawings I did over the past month, including a character from the Green Eggs and Ham Netflix series

I think my friend @faunafauna‘s OC Quinn is just Pontoffel Pock with shorter bangs and a striped shirt

So as a teen one of my favorite games was Megaman Zero, because c'mon! You get to play as the ultimate badass in megaman!

And the idea is that it's been several non specific hundreds of years since the last Megaman X game, And without getting into the deep lore of the Maverick Wars, something happened to Zero that caused him to be depowered and hooked up to a machine for however long, before he was lost to time.

Before his disappearance he looked like this:

The idea that he was lost to time creates a perfect way to hook the player by starting with a short cutscene of Zero being awoken from Slumber, hanging from a machine in the remnants of a destroyed building. You're forced to deal with these big questions like "wtf happened here? Why is zero hooked into this machine? " as you're immediately thrust into battle to save the people who found Zero.

But apparently taking an xxx hundreds of years long nap twinkifies a bitch, cause this is what he looks like when he wakes up.

Though, tbf I'm willing to believe that it was just an estrogen machine and the building was bombed out while Zero was mid gender affirming surgery.

And what about Zero's boyfriend Megaman X, you might ask?

The savor of humanity and Reploids?

Surely he looks just as cool after all this time?

NOPE

He died. Sort of?

His spirit? Code? Exists in Cyber Fairy form looking like this:

Which has always made me think of the Good Fairies from Dr. Seuss's Pontoffel Pock and his magic piano.

Expecting this guy to break out into song for his partner as he gives him a quest to save the world.

Bonus proof of their relationship.

[hockpock]

i know hockpock has another meaning but every so often it brings Pontoffel Pock and His Magic Piano into my head cause i mis-singing "pontoffel pock where the heck are you"

I.. have absolutely NO idea what this is referring to, thank you 'nonymouse!

I'll have to look it up later and see what the ear worm is.

Actual Pock Lore: My sister in fandom @mistr3ssquickly used to call me Pockity, via this disney classic:

So when I wanted to change from the weeby Pocky-based handle I used to have I went with that.

turns out HockityPockity is a pain in the ass to type though, so it got shortened....there are a few places where someone got to the short one first though so there are variations.

To shorten it, I do prefer Pock over Hock. i don't know who hock is and it always takes me a minute.

It is also not "Puck", of Shakespearian fame.

Michael After Midnight: Pontoffel Pock, Where Are You?

So here’s a neat little bit of trivia: back in the 80s, my grandmother actually had her own video store. Obviously a little indie video store wasn’t gonna survive competition from something like Blockbuster or all the other options that began popping up around the time, so she ended up closing it, and my parents ended up with a lot of the VHS tapes, which of course I ended up watching. A lot of my favorite films and movies I’m really nostalgic for came from those VHS tapes, such as Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer, InHumanoids: The Movie, and Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend - all great candidates for reviews. Frankly, not sure why I haven’t reviewed InHumanoids already… but I digress. I bring this all up because there is one specific VHS I want to talk about.

But first, let’s talk about Dr. Seuss.

Dr. Seuss, as you may know, is one of the greatest children’s authors of all time. The guy churned out classic after classic, creating timeless works featuring wondrous landscapes, fantastical locales, and colorful characters like the Lorax, the Grinch, and the Cat in the Hat. He’s also known for having extremely crappy films based off of his books, but that wasn’t always the case; back in the day, Seuss worked on animated specials based on his stuff, working with everyone from Chuck Jones to Ralph Bakshi. Dr. Seuss was truly a creative genius whose works have stood the test of time.

[Except this one]

Tonight’s work is one that is actually not based on any sort of preexisting book, and was one of those bizarre VHS tapes I watched over and over as a child. And tonight’s work is one that I’m not going to review in the traditional sense; oh no, this one is getting something special. Pontoffel Pock, Where Are You? is akin to Freddie as F.R.0.7. in my mind as something it is far more fun to just explain than to truly dissect, so instead of a true review, I am going to do a sort of recap of the plot before giving you a verdict on whether this insane special is worth your time.

So, let’s get right into this:

Pontoffel Pock, our titular hero, has a job at a pickle factory, and he has the simplest job you could possibly imagine: he pushes the lever “Pushum” and pulls on the chain “Pullum” and the pickles go into the jar (as the song helpfully informs us. Oh yeah, this is a musical. That’s somewhat important). So with such a simple job, it would be pretty inconceivable to fuck it up, right? Well, that’s because you are most likely not a colossal failure on the level of Pontoffel Pock, who SOMEHOW confuses the Pushum and Pullum and ends up destroying the entire factory, which leads to him getting fired. Did I mention this was his first day and immediately before fucking up he was explained what his job was?

[You had ONE fucking job, Pontoffel Pock]

Dejected and alone, Pock goes home and plays basketball on his roof as an homage to Clerks. Please ignore that this animation came out nearly two decades before Clerks. I would like to take a moment to point out that Pock’s house is exactly as weird and impractical a homestead as any you might see in a Seuss work - and the fact it’s a dilapidated mess because Pock can’t hold down a job only makes it even more odd. In his misery and sorrow, Pock wishes he could get away from it all… and he gets his chance, because the Amalgamated Do-Gooding Fairies come down from the heavens and grant him a magical flying piano that will take him anywhere in the world if he plays the proper notes (C, C, C, D, D#, E, for those wondering).

Gifted with this incredible magical gift, and with the entire world at his disposal, Pontoffel Pock does what any normal human being would do: he shows off and acts like a douchebag. Teleporting to Groogen, a sort of German-Switzerland mashup country, Pock freaks the locals out with his flying piano, and gets shot down by their paint cannon known as the Goomy Gun, because nothing in a Dr. Seuss work can have a normal name. Pock returns home, and naturally McGillicuddy, the head fairy, is pissed as fuck at Pock for being a douchey show-off and nearly wrecking the piano right off the bat.

[Dunno what he expected from the moron who wrecked a pickle factory]

Thankfully, McGillicuddy is a kind and merciful fairy, a bit more Seelie than Unseelie. He gives Pock one more chance, so the question now becomes: How can Pock fuck this up? Well let’s find out as he travels to Casbahmopolis, the Seuss version of the Middle East. Considering what a colossal moron Pock is, it should surprise absolutely no one that he falls in love with the first scantily clad belly dancer woman he sees; that girl is Neefa Feefa, who contrary to the previous sentence is NOT a belly dancer, but rather an… eyeball dancer. No, she doesn’t dance on eyeballs, she’s just dressed in an outfit that covers everything but her eyes. It’s kind of an amusing parody of belly dancers.

[Behold, the greatest waifu of all time]

Lucky for Pock, Neefa Feefa is the only woman in the world as stupid as him, and she immediately falls for him as well. Unfortunately, she’s stuck fucking dancing for the king, a job she hates, and she wishes she could get away from it all. To her credit, she actually has a real, genuine reason to want to get out of her current position, unlike Pontoffel “First World Problems” Pock. Pock seems to realize this, and in one of his exceedingly rare moments of badassery, singlehandedly infiltrates the palace of the king to save this girl he barely knows. Sure, it’s stupid and cliche, but so far Pock has been nothing but be a showboating weenie; here he goes Solid Snaking his way through a palace full of armed guards to save a woman, that takes some pretty big balls.

Of course, this is Pontoffel Pock we’re talking about; he manages to fuck things up somehow. The guards manage to bust the Homing Pigeon Switch of his piano, which would allow him to zap right back to the dump he calls a house, and when he tries to go somewhere else Neefa Feefa slips into the clutches of the guards and the piano goes on the fritz, leading Pock to desperately try any keys he can in an attempt to get back. At this time, the fairies are getting worried, seeing as they haven’t heard from Pock in ages, and so set out on a massive manhunt to find him, singing “Pontoffel Pock, Where the Fuck Heck Are You?” This is the part where our hero finally triumphs. Pock suddenly out of the blue remembers the proper switch and zaps back to save his imprisoned beloved, so of course… he crashes the piano into the tower.

[Pictured: A man who can do literally nothing right]

Neefa Feefa sends out a prayer, and thankfully it is heard by the fairies, who descend from the heavens and save everyone’s ass. Pontoffel Pock’s quest to get some poon seemingly impresses the boss at the pickle factory, because not only is Pock rehired, but Neefa Feefa gets hired there too, and apparently the dress codes are extremely lax there as she gets to wear her eyeball dancer outfit to work. Pock manages to get away scot free despite fucking everything up and manages to get a hot girl and a stable job, so I guess the moral of the story is “Going to great lengths to get pussy will make up for all of your constant fuckups.”

[Huh. I guess The Lorax was right]

So that was Pontoffel Pock, Where Are You? and I think it goes without saying this is one weird, quirky, and unique animated story. It’s not very long and is a bit corny and cliche, and the shortness doesn’t do much favors to the story as it leads to things feeling a bit rushed, but quite frankly it all adds to the silly, Seussy charm. The animation, the designs, and just all the wacky creativity on display here is Seuss at his best, and frankly it’s hard to hate a story of a man who fucks up his pickle factory job and gets a magical flying piano from fairies so that he can score with a belly dancer.

I really wish this was more well-known than it is. God knows this deserves it. It’s just so charmingly weird. If you like weird and silly animated things or the work of Dr. Seuss, this is something to check out, though if you’re a huge fan of the latter you may already know this. I don’t think this is really something that deserves to be held up alongside the greats like The Grinch or The Lorax, but I think it deserves an honorable 3rd place alongside those two; this is an underrated obscure gem if there ever was one.

Now I’m going to sit back and pray that this review becomes popular enough to get people to draw Neefa Feefa porn.

[Real talk: This is the only reason I wrote this review]

Oh, the places Pontoffel will go!

[jathis]

Pontoffel Pock is the Onceler’s cousin from his father’s side of the family.

He lasted half a week before he was fired for nearly burning the Thneed factory down.
