The Tale of Moose Baby: Uncut, UnRiffed, and in HD!
Added 2020-06-24 18:31:36 +0000 UTCHello Traxians, Erik here.
Hot on the hooves of our Talkin' Moose Baby post, as promised is the original, unriffed HD short that we transferred from a film print some years ago. While Kevin gave me a shout-out in the aforementioned video, I didn't actually find this new cut of the film, but I did try to remind everyone now and then that we had this important piece of RiffTrax history already "in the can," and that we should do something with it one of these days.
My dream is that we'll be able to realign the existing riff with this new version of the film, or perhaps get the writers to craft some new material out of it. This version certainly looks 1000x better than the originally riffed one:
What do you think? Should we redo this classic riff with the new transfer?
For now, please enjoy Moose Baby, in all its uncut and unriffed HD glory. Download this video here in case you want to riff it yourselves, or perhaps to use as your next remote meeting background.
Until next time, Traxians!
Your pal,
Erik

2020-06-26 03:36:49 +0000 UTCI miss Harrison Ford's narration, but I think Moose Baby's dream of the unicorn did add some ambiguity to everything. Actually, I think the original narration was better, and if they re-riff this, I wonder if they can re-synch that original narration over the parts from the original, and then just have the 2nd narrator's words cover the newer uncut parts of the film.

2020-06-25 18:11:18 +0000 UTCAt the break neck speed of the narration it may be hard to fit in riffs, but I have faith the RiffTrax crew could do it justice.

2020-06-25 14:41:23 +0000 UTCAt least we know the narrator said, "Long, wobbly legs" now and not something else...

2020-06-25 12:55:22 +0000 UTCI do think the script of this video is funnier in the version where they're saying "Moose Baby" instead of Baby Moose".
