Let the storm rage on, the cold never bothered me anyway...

● Why Man Creates - Saul Bass (high school)
● Le Jetee - (high school, weekend public television)
● Un Chien Andalou (college), [there's another Cocteau/Dali collab I didn't like as much]
● The early, hand-colored Edison print of (Famous Dancer) (2012? TCM)
-- Sorry, her name now escapes me; CRS syndrome (can't remember sh!t)
● Trip to the Moon - Saw that a few years ago in a theater; not so thrilled about new sndtrk.
-- (moon with Rocket in his eye = home PC's wallpaper)

Bambi vs. Godzilla - a Must See, do not recall seeing on list, yet.

Wallace & Grommit shorts (my kids) - stories told in a way that will never look old.

From my childhood (TV) and then my (young) kids (DVDs):
● Old Max Fleisher shorts: "Somewhere in Dreamland" ( Hungry children dream of Food) and one where Santa builds toys for orphans stand out. Very much from the U.S. Depression era.
-- some Betty Boop cartoons are very weird and like acid trips:
. . . . "Minnie the Moocher" features Cab Calloway as a dancing walrus ghost!
-- their Supermans (w/Bud Collier) are personal favorites.
● Little Audrey shorts (she falls asleep & dreams of Cake Land where "Cop Cakes" go after the Devil's Food cake,
or, Mother Goose Land, where the characters are "Hip to all that Swingin' Jive").
(Note: Both my kids went into Music schools. I blame the old cartoons.)
● There's some pretty surrealistic "3 Stooges" out there . . .

I ran a short film series, every Tuesday at lunchtime in the late 70s. People would come in the Arts Center, eat lunch and watch shorts for an hour. It lasted a year, so 52 hours of pre-1977 shorts . . . It's hard to remember them all.

Just saw Frankenweenie, but not Vincent. Enjoyed FW, but can't list as a Fave.
Not familiar with newer shorts (that doesn't sound right, does it?), particularly new animated, as my kids are grown, and my opportunities have dwindled.

There's more, but I gotta go. Peace!


I prefer the toad less raveled
