From the Bratz episode 'Bewitched and Bothered'. I think the Bratz run a fashion magazine? And rival magazine publisher Miss Burdine puts a special hypno-chip inside Sasha's phone. She gets sent a message, which turns out to be a hypno message and entrances Sasha and Jade!

The episode is pretty fun in terms of hypno stuff. The entranced Bratz have good monotone voices, very obedient and for some reason clog a lot. There's also a nice scene where these blonde twins get told to act like bunnies and dogs. Pretty good, 7/10 I'd say.

Took forever for this gem to end up here. I honestly thought it was already on here.

You'd be surprised how many classic cartoon hypnosis moments aren't on here. I'm guessing it's because everyone already knows how to find them, but I'll gif them if there's enough demand for them.



Eh, their blank expressions are nice, but the dog-acting part is too short and unfocused to deserve capping.



True dat! *clogs*

Can I just say that I'm happy that there are generally so many examples of exaggerated and over-the-top hypnosis in cartoons for all these decades?

Looking at it non-biasedly and objectively, I sometimes wonder exactly how so much of this happened. I don't necessarily believe most of the examples were really based in turning the animator or director on, themselves, though in some cases like with Totally Spies it's happened way too much to be a coincidence.

I used to think that mind-control plots just happened so many times in animated media because it was a counter to all of the anti-violence and imitable acts restrictions placed on so many cartoons in the 80's and 90's that alternative sources for conflict and stories needed to be used instead, and that even after censors backed off, it had already become a stock plot in the public consciousness by that time.

But fans of old cartoons have gone on to work in the industry themselves now after growing up with them, so I can only think that part of it is half-intentional now, but it's hard to tell without anyone actually confirming or denying.

I'm just happy it's still a thing and it's still happening and that things like showing the effects in eyes and obviously odd behavior of mind control in a cartoon plot are still widely used tropes.

I don't think I've ever seen an animated show that did not eventually use mind control in a plot (I was going to point to Steven Universe as an exception, but then I remembered that episode where Steven possesses Lars). Personally, I think it's just an easy way to create drama. Kids' shows, especially older ones, often had less time and effort put in than other types of show, so it makes sense that they would eventually go for a quick-and-easy plot.

This sounds like that PS2 game Bratz Rock Angels which idiotically/ironically had absolutely nothing to do with music, rock bands or the Rock Angels at all. Or as another famous Brit calls it: "<<www.youtube.com/watch?v=s32pkiZvuJE|Bratz: The Splatty Ratz That Are Gnatz Covered in Shatz>>" xP
