Title: Drives a cartoon around--animation in cinema and on TV Post by: JK on August 05, 2019, 03:21:28 AM This is such a vast area going back to the beginnings of cinema that I'll stick my neck out and give it a topic of its own. (The first half of the title comes from a Captain Beefheart song, "Pachuco Cadaver"). Folks, please feel free to post your own favourite animations, preferably short excerpts or trailers.
Having a much younger online penfriend has not only worked wonders in my rejuvenation department but has introduced me to areas of culture I would never have touched upon otherwise. These include computer games soundtracks, the videos of intelligent and creative YouTube bloggers like Matt Boman (aka BoDiddy) and Taylor Marie and more recent younger people's TV shows, including animated series. One shining example in the last-named category is BoJack Horseman, which stars "a self-loathing alcoholic horse currently in his 50s" (an anti-hero in his own show!!) but please read the wikipage. It's certainly engaging and hilarious but as an older viewer I must admit to occasionally having trouble keeping up. ;D Highly recommended all the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1eJMig5Ik4 (http://i1.wp.com/www.mygeekreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/episode-2-bojack-roof.png?resize=760%2C427) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoJack_Horseman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoJack_Horseman) Title: Re: Drives a cartoon around--animation in cinema and on TV Post by: JK on August 06, 2019, 02:16:33 AM Okay, this is probably the first full-length cartoon film I ever saw, back in the '50s. Lady and the Tramp looks just as good today.
This sequence never fails to bring tears to my eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nWNXO3CZkU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_and_the_Tramp Title: Re: Drives a cartoon around--animation in cinema and on TV Post by: Jay on August 06, 2019, 02:34:39 AM This is my all time favorite animation. The colors are so vibrant and brilliant! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-RuBfKfPOk
Title: Re: Drives a cartoon around--animation in cinema and on TV Post by: Jay on August 06, 2019, 02:53:51 AM I'm actually a pretty big fan of classic animation. I'll warn you, I could easily give you a few dozen links! :lol

It's great to see others posting in the non-BB section of the forum besides JK. ;D Title: Re: Drives a cartoon around--animation in cinema and on TV Post by: Jay on August 07, 2019, 12:35:03 AM Alright then! ;D Here's one of my favorite Mickey cartoons.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PYQYGnQeXw The opening bit with Mickey mixing the potion is my all time favorite Disney animation moment.
And now for something completely different(what an original line, huh? ;D): The Little Match Girl made by Columbia in 1937. This is beautifully animated and produced. I'll warn you though, this is a heartbreakingly sad cartoon that has reduced me to tears more than once. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFFNhvDyiAU Title: Re: Drives a cartoon around--animation in cinema and on TV Post by: JK on August 30, 2019, 07:14:31 AM Alright then! ;D Here's one of my favorite Mickey cartoons.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PYQYGnQeXw The opening bit with Mickey mixing the potion is my all time favorite Disney animation moment. Sheer genius! :lol In view of your warning, I may watch The Little Match Girl another time. ;) Title: Re: Drives a cartoon around--animation in cinema and on TV Post by: Jay on September 01, 2019, 10:43:43 AM Alright then! ;D Here's one of my favorite Mickey cartoons.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PYQYGnQeXw The opening bit with Mickey mixing the potion is my all time favorite Disney animation moment.

One day, but not yet. ;) I was reminded of this excerpt from 101 Dalmatians this morning. I've watched it many times with the grandkids in Dutch so it's interesting to hear this sung in English for a change. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXTQWVqBDWY Title: Re: Drives a cartoon around--animation in cinema and on TV Post by: RangeRoverA1 on September 05, 2019, 04:41:25 AM Youtube is snail - here's animated series "Growing Up Creepie": *link*

Thanks for reminding me! Title: Re: Drives a cartoon around--animation in cinema and on TV Post by: Jay on December 18, 2019, 11:37:07 PM :lol
