There was an Israeli home video company called "As Film Ltd.", which had a... weird logo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cDwB7gEVQ0 Why do I consider it weird? Well, it seems to contain audio & footage from some unidentified cartoon... film? series? The audio, similar to Malibu Home Video's "Please Don't Stop", is in English & in this case, it has Hebrew subtitles. The footage meanwhile consists of some... aliens in stereotypical Chinese clothing. A woman with dark black hair, wearing a dark green & orange dress, then says "Oh stop that!". Another woman with blonde hair with clothes somewhat similar to Princess Gwenevere except red & black, says "That's beautiful." They keep talking while some... twins? Say "They're here, here they're".
Not sure on what this is. Looks like a smoother Filmation cartoon, but it's definitely not any Disney movie. Might be a Ruby-Spears production or a Hanna-Barbera production, but again, I have no idea.
Hello extremewreck2000 I believe it's some foreign cartoon Is from israel I believe so I don't know It looks like something I believe it's some american special animation Maybe hannah barbara maybe other Animation studios it isn't a foreign cartoon It's an english
Some context clues I noticed that might help narrow down the search.
Here's the dialogue as I hear it underneath the singing:
Alien: *spins around and takes a bow* Brunette girl: Oh, stop that. Blonde girl: You dance beautifully! I'm so happy to meet you. Alien: ? Brunette: You can at least be useful and tell us where Mrs. Holly is. Alien: ? (I think it says "There here, here there.") Brunette: What does that mean? Left or right? Where. Does. She. Live? Alien: There here, here there. Blonde: It must mean that Mrs. Holly lives everywhere!
So here are a few thoughts:
1. Going off my hunch this is one of those cheapo fairy tale VHS cartoons, and typing "Mrs. Holly fairy tale" into Google, this could be an adaptation of the Frau Holle story, one of the lesser known Brothers Grimm stories. The TLDR of it is that a nice girl accidentally summons a mysterious old woman and does chores for her and is showered with wealth. Then her evil stepmother sees dollar signs and brings out her other daughter, who is super lazy, to summon Frau Holly but the girl refuses to do the chores and Frau Holle puts a curse on her. So the brief scene we see could possibly be the mother and second daughter trying to find "Mrs. Holly" so they can be showered with wealth.
2. The only lyric I can clearly pick up on is "go round and don't be a fool." This is also roughly what the Hebrew subtitles say during the brief clip of the Chinese charicature/alien thing, according to Google Lens translate. I can also clearly pick out words such as "round and roud," "circles," etc. These lyrics might also tie into the Frau Holle story, as the character is heavily associated with spindles, like those wooden wheel things from Sleeping Beauty, and is known to punish girls for using a spindle incorrectly. So "go round and round" could be in reference to a spindle wheel, and "don't be a fool" could be in reference to using it correctly. Clearly a song about something spinning, anyway.

VIDEO UPDATE! VIDEO UPDATE! VIDEO UPDATE! <---- Probably the logo ephemera I remember the most out of watching Oddity Archive for the past year or so now, hahah!
Bennyboy and I have several things in common, essentially having grown up in mid-western areas and being weird kids who were into commercials, TV shows, VCRs and other assorted obsolete gadgets. Only differences are is that he's got a highly popular online show and is willing to spend money acquiring various gadgets and other obsolete junk. As for me, I'm not interested in or talented enough to make a show and need to hold onto money to pay for daily life expenses, lol.

Sorry I'm getting everyone off topic.
Funnily enough, that's kind of like me, except I'm also into logos, largely because I'm interested in ANIMATION in general.
Dreams are boundless, imaginations are infinite, space is a multi-directional spiral & Akazukin ChaCha is my favorite anime
Yes, logos have always been something that has drawn me as well, since the 80's. Especially logos with cgi animation where it was still relatively new.
Here y'all go. The scene in question starts at 54 minutes.
Huh, I checked the channel. It's probably not an official upload per se, but Cinevision Global is a legitimate company of sorts: cinevisionglobal.com/ Especially notable is this quote: "Cinevision’s services include editing, sound and picture synchronization, color correction, dubbing and subtitles, re-recording, digital sweetening, sound effects, surround sound, special effects, and content transfer to name a few." Could they have had a possible role in dubbing the movie into English, or something like that?

I haven't been able to find any connection between them or g.g. communications. I'm guessing they acquired the rights/license somehow, or they just found a rip online and called it a day.
