Thundercats

Some years back I ordered some videos and got a complete episode DVD set of this cartoon series from the 1980s. I watched in gape jawed silence at how blatant this commercial-cum-cartoon was. It's only gotten worse since.

Cartoons Are Evil

Funny parody. Or not?

Woody Woodpecker

Early version of the bird where he was really Screwball!

Chuck Jones Classic

Really inventive; too bad so few cartoons in any era were not like this, save perhaps the Bullwinkle cartoons.

Popeye ala Max Fleischer

Popeye in Goonland - Amazing videos are here

Like the Superman cartoons he did, these are the best Popeyes, by far.

Tom And Jerry

This MGM cartoon staple was never up to the standards of the Warner Bros. greats.

Spider-Man Cartoon

Although the animation for Spider-Man's 1960s cartoon series was not much better than that of his rivals from DC Comics, this Marvel Comics superhero had better storylines, and a much cooler theme song.

Batman 1960s Cartoons

The 1960s saw Batman also made into a cartoon, patterned after the hit live television show. A bit better than the dregs that were the Superman series of the same era.

1980s Superman

Superman Cartoon 1988 Intro - The funniest bloopers are right here

Still not up to the old standard.

Superman: Men of A.P.E

As a comparison to the Superman cartoon just below, check out this badly drawn and written cartoon from the 1966 kids television cartoon.

The Fleischer Superman Cartoons

This was the first in a series of 1940s cartoons release in theaters, and the interesting thing about it is how, compared to modern cartoons and comic books, realism plays such a strong role.

Look at the details of the city, the proportions of Clark Kent (aka Superman), and how the problems shown throughout the series, while based in cartoon villainy, also are dealt with realistically, in the sense that the characters are not exaggerated.

Max Fleischer also produced the Popeye cartoon series, and both were masterpieces of craftsmanship long since discarded. First came the cheapo tv cartoons of the 150s, then the Hanna-Barberazation of the 1970s, then the dark, modern cartoons of the last twenty or so years, but none that capture the realism and skill of these cartons.

Compare garbage like Shrek, or any other computer cartoon to the work displayed her. It's simply no contest.

Look at the realistic human movements. Simply put, computers cannot substitute for a real human touch.

It's a sham ethat such Golden Era work is in the past.

South Park Kicks Disney’s Ass

Dan and Jess mentioned a few South Park songs and rewatching them, I eerily realized they were parodies of some Disney songs from nearly 20 years ago. I looked it up online to match the songs, and here you can compare the parody to the original, and frankly, the riotous parodies trump the pabulum originals:









As I said, South Park is definitively better.

Uncle Fucker!

Here's the "film" that gets everyone to "Blame Canada."



I never thought farting could be so funny. At least it's self-aware and poking fun at vulgarity!

Blame Canada!

I was thinking of good movie songs and this one came to mind....

I've only seen the South Park T.V. show a couple of times because I don't have cable, and overall I think Family Guy is funnier, but this movie was kick ass funny.

Sometimes you have to blame somewhere for the world's problems, and I say Canada is as good as any to take the blame. "They're not even a real country anyway..."



This South Park movie I thought was going to be dumb but it was pretty clever and well written. And here's where all the Canadians speak aboot their frustrations. Then the American Ambassador says, "Fuck Canada."

Popeye The Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves

This is another cartoon classic. Not up to Daffy Duck's Duck Dodgers In The 24 1/2 Century, but still classic.
