thats the only i've found to watch the film of my childhood again...
but if someone found an english version i'm taking it!!
I am 40 years old and the image of that boy in the bathroom has ALWAYS been with me. I just found this board today and I'm enjoying reading the posts! This was one of my all time favorite series. I still love foreign films!
I share everyone's nostalgia for this film. I have it partially in my memory, certain scenes especially. The search for time, the fight with the dragon, etc. Why can't we get this film (and others like it) rereleased? There must be a big enough market by now among those of us who grew up on these films...
In 2003, J.H. said, with regard to the boy and the little men, that "he joined them somehow." I seem to remember the boy calling out "Hah-hoo! Hah-hoo!" and then a little ship came sailing out of the spout end of the tub. A woman that I work with (we'll call her Pam) remembers this too.
I too remembered only parts of this, but could only remember it had something to do with a bathtub. After reading on line about the beginning of the movie - a breakfast scene - I remembered that barely as well. I would love to be able to get a copy of the movie as I am 39 and it has driven my crazy for years trying to remember exactly what I saw, but I know it really intrigued me then to stick with me this long!
WOW! I thought I dreamed this or something. Im 38, and I thought I remembered this film. I remember the boy and the bathtub, and some cartoon figures on a ship floating in a bathtub, and going down the drain. Man, and I really thought I had dreamed all this, until I surfed over to this forum, and found what you guys have written. Thanks for confirming it for me. Cool......
in case people do want to see it ,do a search in p2p programs (dont know if you allow this information here)
and look for the words "tony tick tock" or "haho ocsi" or "ohe petiot"
theres one video shared....just to let you know...
I was able to find this on YouTube a long time ago and now I can’t. Please help me see this movie again if you have a fresh link!!! Thank you for any help you offer! This movie...with English ADR mesmerized me as a child as did Father Christmas and I want to share these with my children so once again, thank you for any leads!!!
I was actually the child actor who dubbed the voice of Tony in Tony and the Tick Tock Dragon. It was one of my very first jobs dubbing films into English. Our workplace was Titan Studios on Seventh Avenue in NYC. Anyway, it’s great to see here that it’s still remembered! I do remember it as being quite unusual for a “children’s film.”
