I saw the minor spelling mistake oh no

as a 19 year old woman i STILL love moshi monsters, idc how weird the lore is i love those lil guys

I was an artist on a Moshi Monsters fan revival project, so I got a glimpse of the back end. The entire game is held together by duct tape. There's bugs that never got fixed because the team was seemingly too focused on adding new products to make merchandise of. The amount of merch is absolutely insane, you can hunt down toys of characters and moshlings not even added to the game because they pretty much gave up. It's a shame too, the game had a lot of potential that never got built upon due to the sheer amount of content added to sell toysets.

I will never forgive Lady GooGoo for the crimes she committed in October 2011

I used to be the BIGGEST FAN of Moshi Monsters, but out of nowhere it just disappeared from my radar. I'm glad someone is covering this topic after MORE THAN A DECADE!

It was a huge thing in the UK. The movie was hyped a lot, i remember going to Chessington and getting a free membership thingy. My friends all had the figures, i had all the DS games and i even had clothes and bedsheets and plushies, i was so obbessed it was my whole childhood

I remember when the super moshi quest thing got added for the first time, and it was free to play, and you did all the puzzles, and it took me all day, and finally, finally, you get to the reward, the secret volcano base, and are met with “become a member to finish this quest and actually do things!” I was devastated. I actually remember crying over it.

I loved Moshi Monsters sooo much, the ice cream shop was one of my favorite things to do. I hope it comes back, I’d totally pay the annual membership 😭

Hard to believe this franchise would get a full fledged feature length movie, shown in actual cinemas. It was glorious

There is a fan revival project called Moshi Monsters Rewritten if anyone’s interested. You’re able to play as a paid member for free. As someone who could not/would not convince my parents to pay for the membership as a kid, it takes the mystery behind the paywall away. Blows my mind how the level of fun I imagined was much greater than the reality.

With all these monster videos coming out recently, I would appreciate a My Singing Monsters video, especially since Mammott was referenced secretly at the beginning of the video. The lore is INSANE

He’s getting better at drawing, you can tell because at the end he adds four extra lines to his character!

Fun fact: Mind Candy actually made an ARG game that had players buying card packs that contained puzzles that players had to solve. The main goal was to find a cube that was important to the fictional "Perplex city." The cube was found in 2007 and the person that found it won 120,000 thousand dollars. You might have heard of Perplex City from one particular card called "Billion to One" that had a picture of a man, and the words "find me" in Japanese. If you're interested in this card I recommend watching Inside a Mind's videos on the card.

I need to say thank you for referencing the existence of the Moshi Monsters movie because I remember watching it off a torrenting site when I was like twelve and completely forgot after, if it wasn't documented in video form I would assume the entire movie is a fever dream I had once like no one talks about this movie like ever

No ones talking about how expressive the animation was for its time.

good video but the Chekhov’s Ferris Wheel Eagle is the real reason I watched to the end. the tension of waiting for you to get divebombed by an extremely specific bird was unbearable

even though moshi kids is locked behind a paywall, they have a lot of full-length content on their youtube channel. I use the meditations myself sometimes, not to mention the art made for it is absolutely gorgeous. also, moshi monsters and calm (the wellness app) share a founder, so it was natural for him to merge the two when moshi was essentially at the end of its life. I'm glad the franchise and now kids get to still experience the magic of our silly little moshlings

I was a way too sensitive kid, and thinking about Moshlings losing their personalities and being turned into hateful glumps really upset me. Also even back then I found it extremely petty that Strangeglove vowed to annihilate Moshlings because a dog Moshling bit him once. Like cmon, dude, grow up

When I played moshi monsters I never got a membership and there were literally like 2 minigames and maybe 10 moshlings you could collect. EVERYTHING was behind a paywall including the seasons. You'd play like an episode and then be told to buy the membership. I distinctly remember being obsessed with that cupcake decorating game just because there was literally nothing else to do. You couldn't even decorate your house or send gifts without a membership. Still got the moshlings theme park DS game tho 😎

I was OBSESSED with this game in elementary school. As an American though, I was so sad that most of the merch and the ENTIRE MOVIE was only really in the UK but I did collect the magazines and whatever I could get my hands on. I remember going nuts when the Zoshlings missions came out. I was a member, I knew all the songs, I was obsessed with the lore, and I loved it. I loved it so much. My house was fully leveled up, stuffed with items. I had quite a few moshings, I beat all the missions with all of the EPICs, I even made my own dance to Moptop Tweenybop and did it in my school talent show. I cannot make this stuff up. I had the DS games. I had posters in my actual room. Some people were into One Direction, I was into Zack Binspin. I still miss it.

I'm actually so disappointed that you didn't even mention the fact that there was an actual physical CD called "Moptop Tweenbop (My Hair's Too Long)" for a character called Zack Binspin who was made to be a bootleg Justin Bieber and it's a piece of merchandise that I actually owned as a child and would listen to all the time. Also shame on you for skimming over Doctor Strangeglove's song specifically because it's an earworm for no good reason.

R.I.P. Lady Goo Goo we'll never forget your legacy as a music legend 😢

Joseph Solman (an American painter) died the same day that Moshi Monsters released and I can’t help but believe it’s not a coincidence

Since Strange-glove has a mustache, is tall, and wears a tophat he can be considered a Tumblr Sexyman

I'm from the UK where MM comes from and Jesus Christ thee hype behind the movie was *insane* the marketing was wild.... And then the movie came out and nobody talked about it again.

I was obsessed with Moshi Monsters, I had the little figures as well

Thank you for uploading! I remember playing this when I was younger and I would bully those without memberships :/

You should do a video on the lore of Poptropica. I remember being obsessed with that game as a kid

have to say i DEVOURED the moshi monsters movie as a child and the songs get stuck in my head to this day. we're in this together although it seems odd we're in this together like peas in a pod !

moshi monsters was my first big experience with talking to other people online! i eventually got bored of the same repetitive daily tasks because i didn't have a membership, and somehow found my way to the forums. there in Roary's eyemagination station, or RES, I got my first taste of text based roleplay, which started developing my writing skills, which led to me developing my art skills to draw my ocs! At that point I was NOT there for the base game, I was there for the forums. They even called me one of the Legends back in the day (a term for people who made the most successful roleplays, and a term i REALLY did not deserve). I couldn't have cared less what they were doing with the site... up until they installed a very harsh text censoring system and did a forum wipe that deleted two years of stories I'd created with my friends. At that point, I just straight up left.

What a blast from the past this is. I remember playing this on my lagging broken computer. My Favourite thing was go to the underground sewers to play the Lady Goo Goo Rhythm game. It’s always nice to be reminded of these small mundane things we did as kids that looking back really holds a place in our hearts

I think the abrupt screaming cutting into the very jolly voice you have will always be my favorite That and the outro song, always a bop

moshi monsters was one of my first special interests as a kid and im not ashamed to say I remember almost everything about this game and I had SO much merch from it(the books + magazines, the ds game, the BOARD GAME, tons of figurines, I watched the movie as well (but i hated it because it was different from the game lore) and begged for membership many times) .. yeah it shoved memberships in ur face and had some weird bits to it but kid me was Entranced and for that it holds a special place in my heart (also i was one of the very few people who played as the loveheart guy)

9:35 if you weren't heart attacked to death this far, then you could live through this crap too!

"Sibling, why is the baby grooving?" Its Lady Googoo you *GODAMN* *S P O N G E C A K E !*

GOD, that game was my whole life for a while as a kid. at one point practically every kid in my neighbourhood had the moshi monster toys and we had weekly meetings to trade with eachother so everyone could get rid of their dupes and get their favourites. tcgs like pokemon were never popular here but i will always remember being a kid and scribbling my initials on the bottom of every new moshling i got so that when it was traded around i always knew i had it first. i was so devastated when we moved cities and nobody in my new school had any EDIT: OH MAN KATSUMA UNLEASHED... my friend and i shared a copy but we were so bad at it that her older brother had to clear levels for us the whole time. a classic

this was the site that started my internet addiction lmaooo i was truly obsessed BUT yes you could directly interact with other players on the forum section, which ngl was my favorite part of the whole game bc it was lit in there

My class was obsessed with Moshi Monsters and we also got huge into the Moshi Monster cards. I got a full collection. They were banned in our class after a while lol

A blast from the past! Oh my goodness! Thank you for this. I still dream about the one game where you run like a dog shop and groom puppies because I was obsessed with it and now realize it was from this game…wow. Time flies man

i have the desktop version of moshi monsters even now, such an incredible time of my childhood, i had so many moshling figurines irl

As an almost-19 year old sucker for nostalgia, I thank this video for reminding me of my favorite desktop adobe flash game (aside from club penguin) and will now be making a moshi monsters rewritten account for the sake of crying about nostalgia

Not finished with the video yet but I hope you mentioned the Arby's promotion. I was obsessed with this game because I got a card with the yeti thing in my Arby's kids meal

Honestly the thing I remember the most abt Moshi Monsters was it’s guilt tripping of players. Your monster would have like happiness and well-being bars that would go down if you didn’t play for a few days and it made me feel really bad as a kid. I also remember I when we were canceling my membership there was a sad poppet on the screen saying like “You really want to cancel? 🥺😢” and I had to leave the room bc I was to upset to watch my mom cancel the subscription.

It actually feels like only a couple years ago I was playing this game and so invested in the lore, and now I’m watching a video on it. Makes me happy

man the story had me so invested as a kid, the language was funny to my toddler brain and i will be forever greatful for my time spent on that game.

I was honestly obsessed with this game and the collectable moshlings when I was at Primary school

This game was my special interest for years (still kind of is to a certain extent). It consumed my life. My entire bedroom, multiple birthday parties, my clothing, all Moshi themed. My most memorable Christmas was when my dad had his friend ship us some of the moshling figures exclusive to the UK (only a handful were available here in the US). I'm in my 20s now but this Christmas my dad got me a few of the keychains for nostalgia purposes and it was glorious. I still have my entire collection.

I'm awaiting the day we get "the bizarre lore of Choopo" where you just deep dive all your own shit. Choops, there's a distinctive baboon who happens to not be in this video. What happened to him? I need answers, not questions

FINALLY BEING OLD ENOUGH FOR THESE NOSTALOGIA SERIES I LOVE IT HERE omg I remember having the moshling book 😭😭

I love these videos because it feels like you're developing your own lore, while info-dumping to me and I just feel like I have a friend when I watch these.

I was so socially anxious when i was little that I never went into a public space in the game ;-;

4:47 THATS WHAT IT WAS CALLED I remember at my grandpa’s old house, he had nickelodeon on cable and id mostly watch SpongeBob, but i remember seeing this show pop up once and didn’t pay it much thought, but it has lightly haunted me in the fact I hadn’t seen it since and had no idea what it was, you have saved me future minutes of my life from this small moment

i miss moshi monsters so bad i need it back

I have multiple lady goo goo moshi figurines-I’m a rebel (aswell as hundreds of other moshi figurines)

never expected to hear hollow knight soundtrack and get hit by feels while watching a moshi monsters history video

Moshi monsters was a key part of my childhood. It was the only subscription my parents let me have and I LOVED IT. I collected moshling figures and I had over 100s and some of them were super rare. The songs had no right being that good. I had and completed all the DS games. Thinking about it it was my first ever special interest oh my god

I remember going to Alton Towers and meeting Strangeglove. God the nostalgia.

i spent countless hours in the cupcake minigame just trying to see which monsters attract to what cupcakes i was so invested

Thank you for posting this!! I was such a big fan of games back in the day, going on 23 years old now so it’s nice to see a retrospective from somebody who grew up with the games at a similar part of their life as I did. And can understand the nostalgic joy, as well as some of the more predatory practices that came at the time and be able to take the good with the bad with it not just writing it off as a kids game while also not being absolutely absorbed and in love with it.

The comparison to Pokémon is actually quite accurate - I remember trading the little toy moshlings in the playground in primary school

I remember constantly making Moshi accounts as a kid because I kept forgetting my accounts hahaha I think I was bored of the game..actually I think I played it before the Big update of the villain man and today with this lovely 100k special (at least I think it is I don't know but Congrats nonetheless) I figured out there was and now I'm sad but happy

The mention of Lady goo goo unlocked an anger in me, I didn't know I had

i LOVEDDDD moshi monsters as a kid. got memberships every year for christmas. i specifically remember having a poster with all the moshlings 💗💗

This was actually such a well and straight forward video.

i have never clicked on a video so fast

another banger from the King himself, thank you for making my days better every time you drop a new video bro

One of the biggest things I have left from my Moshi days were these holographic stickers I’ve got stuck on my DS- this franchise was *huge* when I was younger, I kinda forgot about it for the most part after a while

I was surprised you didn't mention "singing monsters" then I realized they might be different games. 😅 well done choopo

my god. i used to absolutely _ADORE_ moshi monsters when i was younger. it was a massive part of my childhood. i never played the game but collected the moshling figurines and once my dad and i counted them all and i ended up having at least 300. i went feral for the moshis. i bought the albums on cd, bought the movie on dvd, bought the drinks, the gummies, went to meet the main six monsters IRL because they done this tour in london called the “moshi bus” where people dressed up as them and you could say hello to them and take pics (but they never showed up lmao), bought the plushies, stickers, named my first two guinea pigs after the moshlings stanley & snoodles, swallowed one of my figurines and i still own my moshi mug to this day. had no idea there was lore lmao that’s wild

I legit barely remember this game, I do recall first seeing it around Grade 1-3 (rough estimate), and I began playing, my Moshi was a Diavolo that I think I named Volcano, and this game was a huge part of those years for me, I loved this game, and like you said, I grew out of it after a while, and now I have barely any memories of my experiences in this game, salute to the devs of this wonderful piece of childhood nostalgia, you will be missed Moshi Monsters.

ngl being a member was so good. i felt so elite. i stopped playing before all the lore was added for the most part but my best friend and i would spend HOURS taking turns playing that goddamn ice cream game

My god, those DS games bring back memories. There were 2 of them that came with exclusive codes for exclusive moshlings and I specifically remember asking for the games just so I could get those moshlings. Cut to when I input one of the codes I accidentally SET IT FREE because it let you choose betweeen keeping it or getting rid of it and it was literally gone forever. I couldn’t input the code again, and my mum bought the game for nothing.

10:08 I remember when this came out, I had a gift card for WHSMITH (I'm from the UK) and so I decided to buy a DVD. As an 8 year-old, I vividly remember debating over whether to get the Moshi Monsters movie or Frozen. I ended up getting Frozen and I was absolutely obsessed with it so i guess I made the right choice ??

I have the moshi monsters movie on dvd brother. Such a huge part of my childhood and I love it sm

Strangeglove threatining to steal my pets in an alley while I was unable to afford the membership is why I have trust issues...

Katsuma is peak character design, the rest are so mid they don't even compare to his impeccable vibes and rizz. (This comment won't age well)

I genuinely believe this game altered my 6-year-old brain chemistry permanently… there will never be another Moshi Monsters. I collected those moshling figurines and kept them in a shoebox, which is where my magpie hoarder tendencies probably stemmed from. I just like cute little things okay?

I remember not playing it for like a week and my monster’s friendship level got stuck at zero. All trust he had in me went out the window 😭

when moshi monsters was shutting down i emailed the mind candy guy begging him not to lmaooooo

Yo kai watch lore would be cool.

The fucking mammot caught me off guard at the start

this opened a portal in my mind the way i had that movie on download and spent all my parents money on this game

I remember being OBSESSED with this when I was a kid. Moshi Music (it was basically like a KZfaq but with like, 10 videos that were all music videos) was my favourite, I remember the Justin Bieber-esque one, Pooky (it was a dinosaur with an eggshell on it’s head) and the coconut one distinctly. Loved those things, I watched them so often lmao, I had most of them memorized. Here’s a list of the songs on the app, plus KZfaq links if you want to take a walk down memory lane: 1.

I played Moshi Monsters for a good while and was obsessed with the Moshling "Snookums" and if im remembering correctly so were a lot of other players. Moshlings caused true friendship breakups

this is such a crisp and excellently done video, thank you for this

I loved this shit when I was younger, I've still got all the DS games the dvd of the movie and a couple hundred of the figures in my attic

Elder furi looks like a miniature mammott from my singing monsters

The movie may have not impacted most people but moshi monsters was my escape I still have the dvd and have played it more than I care to admit makes me cry in happy tears 😂

9:55 dude the moshi monsters movie is legit my childhood you can’t hate on it it was fire

Bro u just unlocked a core memory of my childhood

Moshi Monster was huge in the UK I remember a lot of the kids at school would trade moshlings collectables and cards it was a big deal. I think what drew me in was all the colourful characters and overall style of the game, it was just fun overall. Also I remember watching the Moshi Monster movie on tv and yeah it was something alright, but hey it was nice to see a 2D animated movie in cinemas so I guess thats something.

Bruh I was so obsessed with this game 💀 It was one of the few online games my mum let me use her email for, so it was pretty much all I played n will probably always have permanent nostalgia for. I played as Poppet, favourite moshlings were Pooki and Mr Snoodle, had plushies, showbags, magazines, so so many magazines- and even got a membership for my 8th birthday which I was super excited for (and then we couldn’t afford internet for a year apparently so that was a complete waste but whatever-) Andd I even dragged my nanna and brother to the cinemas to see the movie lmao. It was far from their kinda thing but they knew it was important to me so they stuck it through :) Edit: Oh my god I just remembered the millions of moshling figurines I had too- There’s definitely still some in our old toy boxes, that’d be interesting to dig out

I fricking loved moshi monsters as a kid bro

calling Mr Snoodle a "dumb elephant" is a crime that cannot be forgiven how dare you

The movie was the only thing I knew about moshi monsters and it was amazing

Moshi Monsters is like the father of Prodigy Math (if I'm wrong, please note what's wrong)

One of my biggest flexes is that i have the Moshi monsters movie on dvd at home, i really miss the moshi monster games.

I saw the Moshi Monsters movie IN THEATRES when i was 5 and i thought i imagined the entire experience

Wish Moshi Monsters had a tv series.
