Joe Glow the Firefly 2008-03-08 03:55:53 Like much of Chuck Jones' early work, Joe Glow the Firefly
is not hilariously funny, but a cute cartoon that pays more attention to style and deatil than making people laugh. This was when Jones was...
Chuck Jones' Inki 2008-03-08 03:52:10 Whilst Chuck
Jones' Inki is not featured in any of the Censored 11 cartoons that have been banned by Warner Bros. from being released to DVD or shown on TV, the character is controversial. Inki is an...
Chow Hound - 1951 Chuck Jones 2008-03-08 03:34:59 "This time we didn't forget the gravy!"

The Old Mill Pond - 1936 Happy Harmony Cartoon 2008-03-08 02:28:23 My favourite period for cartoons is the mid-1930s. Sure almost everyone was copying Walt Disney, but the quality of some of the animation is beautiful. There are a lot of caricatures in The Old Mill...

Willie Whopper - Air Race 2008-03-07 23:10:47 Thinking about adult gags in cartoons reminded me of Ub Iwerks' Air Race featuring Willie
Whopper. In this 1930s cartoon Saint Peter himself flips the bird, which is surely something that we would...

More proof that cartoons weren't always meant for kids 2008-03-07 06:25:01 The other day I posted about how the animators for Betty Boop sometimes slipped some inappropriate things into their cartoons. In this clip from a documentary, Jerry Beck wonders whether Bosko may...

Robin Hoodlum - 1948 UPA Cartoon 2008-03-07 05:08:47 Some people claim that UPA cartoons are quite childish and pretentious but personally I feel that they themselves are being pretentious by not acknowledging that not all cartoons have to be like...

Superman Anti-drug PSA Advertisements 2008-03-04 20:26:01 Why is it that fictional characters have to be good role models? Is it not enough that Superman

Even More Captain and the Kids MGM Cartoons 2008-03-04 07:06:39 The Captain
and the Kids wasn't a ground breaking or brilliantly funny series. By all accounts it was not even terribly popular. I still enjoy these cartoons though, but that's just me.
