1. Addendum: I'm currently looking into ways to categorize and share all the movies/music/tv shows/channels I found during research. For now: if there's anything from this video you'd like to watch for yourself, leave a comment/send me an email, and I'll provide a link!

2. Wanna listen to Funky's recording of "that" North Korean rock band at the end? Enjoy! https://youtu.be/Q05d_mX5hwU

3. I may eventually released the full 9 hour version of the video. Bad news, it won't be for awhile. Good news, I promise it won't be behind a Patreon paywall or something. Maybe the subchannel. But....

4....If you'd like to see the full Collision in Korea segment I had to cut for copyright issues, here you go: https://youtu.be/sFh5R9XwiiE

5. Recommended channels/reading:
StreeterSweeper's excellent video on the difficulties of studying North Korea: https://youtu.be/WdEL1m8PhYo (It's one of my favorite YouTube videos of all time, please check it out!)

North Korea Uncovered https://www.youtube.com/@NorthKoreaUncovered

DPRK Explained https://www.youtube.com/c/DPRKExplained

Jacco Zwetsloot's wonderful thesis on NK comics, "North Korean Comics and their Visual Language in the Work of Ch’oe Hyŏk" https://t.co/fAB98iYYO6

6. Additional Sources List/Recommended Reading/Accounts from the March can be found here: https://pastebin.com/7X2QJsc5

7. Corrections/Notes
- The Kim Il Sung "cameos" were actually performed by several actors, not Kim Il Sung himself. I phrased it REALLY badly in the video by comparing it to Stan Lee cameos, that's my bad.
- Quite a few users have pointed out, I was 100% wrong about the Simba/Kimba White Lion comparison! If you'd like to learn more, YMS has a terrific video explaining the situation, (https://youtu.be/G5B1mIfQuo4)
- In later seasons of Squirrel and Hedgehog, the real-world country comparisons become a lot more cut and dry. I should have talked a bit more about that.
- The "Now You Realize This Means War" comic seems to be a fake. What a terrible, wonderful relief. (I'll credit the user who mentioned this once I get their approval!)
- Thanks to @derbydali for pointing out that Shonen Mowgli Jungle Book and Robin Hood were produced in Japan, and only distributed by MondoTV.
- @hogziller pointed out that the train game was a minigame Uriminzokkiri apparently took from Railroad Tycoon 3.
- Some people have pointed out that in the 2000s, Squirrel and Hedgehog really began leaning heavily into more obvious parallels (the wolves are America, bears are Russia, etc.) and I think that's true, but I maintain that in the 70s and 80s, the characters were more representations of general ideas and not specific countries. Just my opinion though!

If I missed something, please let me know and I'll add it to the list!

WRITE A BOOK!!
@elafimilo8199 July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
I feel so enlightened by this video. Five hours based on eighteen months of research ... I can't imagine how much dedication this took. But it's such an amazing work. Well done, well done!
@jessica.bowman July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
Great video! It's entertaining yet educational enough that it could even be used (watched in parts) for teens around maybe 8th-9th grade to learn about the history of North Korea in a fun way. I actually plan on using this for my oldest two homeschooled kids in a year or two and probably again for my younger two eventually.
@raezmorowski2626 July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
i’m usually not able to watch long videos due to my short attention span (due to tiktok) but i was able to watch this all the way through absolutely loving every moment
@raezmorowski2626 July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
currently 3 hours in and it’s 5am😛😛
@GeekMan237 July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
I can’t believe I watched this in one sitting, great work!
@robbiem6397 July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
Its taken a month and a bunch of shifts at work but I finally finished the video and it was amazing, great work!!
@lainism6965 July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
Hey im wondering where are these North Korean films available to be watched? Brothers is one that particularly interests me and I really want to watch it
@asdkotable July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
@54:57 : Those are likely goats. The "weird tentacles" are the goatees.
@Arthad July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
I feel like an important point you missed is that they copied everything from the Soviet Union. Every single piece of media throughout the entire history perfectly mimics Soviet/Russian media and culture up to 2007, except way more extreme, maybe.

I know a guy who's literally a professor on North Korean culture. He's been asked a similar question about "How can you keep worshipping the leader if you can see that everything is so bad" and to that he said: "They just think that every country lives like that". Like when they see a good life in a movie, they'd think that it's just for show, because "there's no away anyone actually can afford this". This mindset of patience and obedience wouldn't have been possible in the nation without the amount of repressions of socialist governments of the 20th century

Btw Abba is goated
@ryanackley3109 July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
Ha two brothers from rick and morty.
@brassbus1022 July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
If you had told me I would sit through 5 and a 1/2 hours of entertainment made by North Korea I might have thought that I lost my mind, but this Gem is littered with information from the disturbing to sad to damn near uplifting!! Its an absolute gem and I would almost love to hear Paper Will's take on Yeonmi Park and her assertions that she didn't know what white people looked like?? Ugjmm hello North Korea and Russia collabs!! I loved this video and I almost wondered if School of Rock was inspired from Mr. Funky. Anyways, Loved it....Great Job!! SUBSCRIBED!!
@ArYan-fx3ty July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am

At 1:15:52 what's he doing? He doesn't even have beard.
@Dr._Nicolas July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
This is one of the best videos about north corea out there, gives a lot of context and like a history lesson gives us a glance of their lives, incredible job.
@MiaSteinberg July 20, 2024 - 6:05 am
This is one of the best video essays I’ve ever seen. This is Ken Burns level longform documentary work. Fucking phenomenal stuff, dude. Your writing is engaging, empathetic, and funny, and I love that you have done so much to contextualize and humanize the people of North Korea, helping us see through their eyes via the media they consumed. Video good 👍🏼

The basketball bit was unironic gold. Your instincts were right on.
