In 2007 South Park released their first ever fully continuous trilogy of episodes, with season 11’s Imaginationland. While the show had done a handful of two-parters before, including Cartoon Wars and Go God Go in the season immediately prior, this felt like one of South Park’s most ambitious pieces of storytelling in series history. The entire concept of Imaginationland is massive, whisking the kids away on a fantasy adventure unlike anything we’d seen in South Park up to that point.
But not only was this trilogy ambitious and well received, eventually it was recut and re-released on DVD and streaming, advertised as a single MOVIE. This new version included extended sequences, uncensored jokes and visuals, and occasionally entirely new footage.
Imaginationland remains some of my favorite episodes that South Park has ever offered, so today I wanna talk about the inception of the idea, the differences in the quote unquote movie version, and how this style of storytelling affected the show moving forward.

Kyle's speech about our Imagination being more real, existing long after we are dead, and having a bigger impact in the world than any real person ever would, always hits me so damn hard. Imaginationland truly is peak South Park

@sboinkthelegday3892 Жыл бұрын

Those are lifted from essays by Tolkien and CS Lewis, who ARE real people, downplaying their impact as the real people that they are. The lampooning on Private Ryan and Michael Bay (Pearl Harbor), suggests to me how "strong of an impact" imaginationland truly has on US policy, again, ran by real people couched in their delusions and propaganda. The larger satire is on the fact, that "imagination" is simply communication BY real people, same as the internet. And then PEOPLE create this impactful narrative about "internet not being real" to downplay how much do people need freedom of communication REALLY? So that Americans can huddle behind their modern Iron Curtain, and touch ALL the grass they want, on that tiny plot of land attributed to them. Because then they are more contained, like earthbound serfs, and not "basement dwellers" like Julian Assange who communicates GLOBALLY.

Nah bro, we both know that Cartman only looked so heartbroken because he WAS legitimately that heartbroken, but it was because of the thought that Kyle was no longer going to be able to suck his balls. No other reasons than that. If you think it was because of their “friendship” then you have not been watching south park for the past 20 or so years, and you also have a very novice understanding of cartman as a character if you think it was for any other reason than the aforementioned Edit: Only Edited to fix some small typos and spelling mistakes, as well as change some words to make the comment look and sound better.

While this is a great set of episodes, I'm still really confused as to why Kenny got shafted so hard. He was included in the initial trip to Imaginationland, but then he was dropped after that and completely forgotten. He didn't even get anything in the Directors Cut (at least, based off of what I saw in this video). Even when I watched it when it first aired, I always found this exclusion weird. And sad, too, since Kenny's my favorite character. It actually kind of affects my overall score of this trilogy. It's very well made and all, but I much rather prefer the Coon and Friends trilogy over this.

@alexvaughan1013 Жыл бұрын

What makes the Imaginationland series some of my favorite SP episodes is that it broke free of the typical political and pop culture satire, which let them really flex their creative strength.

@frankunodostres473 Жыл бұрын

yes some jokes get a bit less funny if you rewatch it... but by far my favourite part of this trilogy is that it is one of the few instances where cartman shows humanity. the scene where he saves kyle's life or rather, reanimates him, is one of the most emotional in south park history imo. I have seen the abyss long before so it was a hilarious parody of a very heavy scene but it adds so much to the character of cartman. you can say he just cared about his bet but look into his eyes and the emotion... he didn't want to lose his friend and nobody can convince me otherwise. later seasons dive deeper into his human side but this was a huge moment in his development imo. that scene is just perfectly crafted because it can make you cry and laugh at the same time. and for that alone, this trilogy deserves all the praise it gets

I don't think the removal of Joseph Smith was because of his historical existence, as Jesus is similarly accepted by historians as having existed regardless of religion. And in both cases, their imaginationland counterparts (along with the rest of the Super Best Friends) are representations of how their believers perceive them, so it's fine for them to have a "real" counterpart as well. Think of it like American Gods and how there's a scene with 20 different versions of Jesus wandering around a party because different races, denominations, and cultures have different interpretations of him; such as a black Jesus, an American Jesus, a Jesus who only speaks old Hebrew, etc. I would have said it was because of some controversy or lawsuit, but that would have made some news site if it was the case.

God, do I remember this. I was legally homeless in Bakersfield. I was renting a motel room for $650 a month. The only form of entertainment I had was a JAVA cellphone and an old laptop with a DVD drive. I was working two full time jobs in order to be able to afford "rent", public transportation and food. I was casually browsing DVDs in a used DVD store and saw this, decided to spoil myself and bought it. I hadn't even seen cable TV in almost a year and wifi was super sketchy for me. It was just so great, I laughed so hard, it was something I really needed. Imaginationland will always hold a special place in my heart. Edit: I just looked in my old DVD collection and I still have it.

Yeah, I do miss that age of TV. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy binge watching TV or whatever but at the same time, I do miss looking forward to setting aside time every week to watch a show I really enjoyed. My friends and I used to have a night every week we'd get together to watch a show, hang out, drink, maybe play a few games. Maybe that's why I don't mind when a series has weekly releases. Like Evil on Amazon, my Mother and I both enjoyed it and it gave us something to look forward to on Sundays.

You can spot Niblet from the Korn episode and some Chinpokomon in the background

I never loved the South Park movie, but imaginationland I always considered a movie. Especially because this is before they had done specials or “events” and it stood out from normal 2 part or 3 part episodes it felt separate and was so ambitious. I wish they’d revisit the concept but Matt and Trey don’t usually revisit past episodes

They did revisit a couple past concepts like the Coon and Friends, Woodland Christmas Critters, and Manbearpig, plus PiPi from the episode "Pee" came back in the Streaming Wars specials.

Maybe they should do a real south park movie in theaters again but make it probably 1 hour and 30 minutes and make it the biggest film ever

@Mr.encore Жыл бұрын

And also mabey make more of a real south park finale where we get time travel again but this time the timlines start to mess up and bring back characters and even Darth chef and Scott since they both are still alive and connected to future and have Segal return to get his revenge on the 4 boys of past and future for screwing his plans and yey make it one big finale wrapping up all the cliff angers we never got like segul death cheif and Scott

@@Mr.encore I’ve been saying this a South Park movie in theatres now I think would be insane give Matt and Trey a big budget and just let them cook but their tied up in all these streaming contracts

Either the versions of the various "canon" characters in Imaginationland were fictional copies (like how Kyle & Cartman got copied at the end), or they're fully fictional and able to travel into the "real world" the same way the balloon guy could

Imagination land is a masterpiece. Amazing message, ridiculously hilarious, great plot, great creativity, really cool cameos

As you were going through the changes, I swear I've seen those changes on the TV version. At least, the last time I saw it on television like some months ago/last year (forget when but it was a while).

This show is amazing consistent with its quality. There is no other show that has been on this long where i cant think of any episodes that are bad. Also the fact that they create the shows in a matter of a few days with how good they all are is insane.

My thing is, at the end of the trilogy with Butters imagining everything back, doesn't that mean that Stan Kyle and Cartman are all imaginary characters at this point?
