Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue is a truly bizarre 1990 PSA TV special starring a ton of famous cartoon characters helping a kid say no to drugs. It features a very odd musical number called "Wonderful Ways to Say No".

Here are 53 artists from around the industry re-animating this song sequence.

HUGE thanks to the amazing animators who brought this crazy drug trip to life!

    kids, if you take drugs, your favourite cartoon characters will appear and talk to you! And do you really want that to happen?

    Is there a way that can happen without taking drugs?

    there are (so far) 3 music videos/animations for Mystery Skulls being a part of one big story, "Hellbent" being the last of those, so make sure you check out the rest for context lol.

  • God this just makes me wonder, wtf was with the "just say no" campaign? I've never heard of anyone trying to make someone do drugs, and if they were saying no wouldn't stop them. If someone is gonna take drugs it's because they want to, and it makes no sense to be like "oh, I guess they just don't know they can refuse them!". Plus it just makes rebellious teens be like "fuck you, I'm gonna say yes"

    It's a theme that's unfortunately even more common today: it's a bunch of adults (some are concerned parents and of the police force but most were probably politicians looking for votes) that are convinced that children and teenagers are all STUPID. They completely ignore the people that have actually studied the situation that are telling them that most of the time it starts for social reasons (such as peer pressure) or because they're well-aware of the effect it will have on them both short-term and long-term but just don't care because they're going through something unpleasant like their parents getting divorced, or being abused in one form or another at home. or simply because they're looking to spite someone or try something new that adults would suddenly go hush-hush about every time they'd walk into the room.
    Anti-drug cartoons and the 'This is your brain on drugs' craze were made by people that in theory meant well, but failed to understand the way the kids and teens of that generation actually thought. Really they should have been trying to get the parents to explain the perils of drug use, not making weird cartoons and confusing commercials like this:

    hol up where's Alastor

    I believe it was tagged because of 0:49, which is the segment animated by Vivzie. It's not Alastor though sadly, it's just the animator's style making it look similar

  • I think the sadly hilarious part is that kids from the 90's went on to become the most heavily addicted to alcohol and designer drugs youth from recent western history.

    I was already partying hard before I even drank, lolz.

    I think you're pretty much right about the adults behind these campaigns taking kids for being stupid. They're mostly not. "Just say No" was never going to work. But I think the idea of "peer pressure" is overrated. Kids and teens, much like anyone else, are curious, and try things, and often just find that they enjoy them.

    Damn! I'm sure this is a quote but I can't find the source. Was it Last Week Tonight or South Park? ;-)
