Your Studio and You (1995)

Really Surprised!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

"Your Studio and You" is a 14-minute live action mockumentary from 1995, so this one is already over 20 years old. It was made by the relatively young Trey Parker (and Matt Stone) back then and we also hear Parker as the narrator in here. It's perhaps somewhat interesting to compare his voice in here to his voice work on South Park, his long-running trademark show. I must say I really love South Park, still do after all these years, but the black-and-white film we have here wasn't really to my liking. It is basically a spoof of all the studio-themed documentaries from the old age of Hollywood, for example about MGM, but here the focus is on Universal. I really wonder how they got the likes of Cameron, Spielberg, Lansbury, Stallone, Moore etc. to participate in here. I guess Parker really must have had great connections at that point already to get in all these big names playing alternate versions of themselves basically. They sure elevate the material, especially Stallone. Anyway, I still did not find the material too funny here from Parker pre-South-Park and that's why I give this watch a thumbs-down. It's not a failure by any means, but you should not expect too much if you decide to see it. Oh yeah and you really need to know and have seen some of the originals that this one is actually spoofing, otherwise you will just wondering what this is. I suggest you take the easy way out and watch something else instead.

This short is great because it's honest about hollywood...it pokes fun at it! Everything about it is not too far from the actual truth. It's also got some great celebrity appearences. Trey Parker is one of the great film makers of all time, so believe me, this is worth seeing! This film is sort of hard to find, but you have to try to find it and watch it.... it's funny.

If you know anything about Hollywood then watch this you will laugh your butt off! It's worth finding it just to see James Cameron plant trees and say "Sweeten, enhance, beautify"! Really fun short!

This is a terrific parody of 1950's informational films. It's an underground Hollywood movie, just like Parker and Stone's "Spirit of Christmas," which prompted South Park. It's a very funny, tongue in cheek look at Hollywood.
