It was certainly special to me because I got my Bachelor's degree in Communications at Webster University in St. Louis. It was one of the happiest days of my life! I have just started my 7-month long internship at Walt Disney World. I hope to make some contacts in the film industry that way...

Re: [OT] 5/16/02: An unhappy anniversary of a sad event... While Walt Disney was my main inspiration to go into animation, it was Jim Henson who inspired me to go into filmmaking in general. When I saw his Muppet*Vision 3-D movie (which turned out to be his last project) at Disney World for...

Some of my favorites... First of all, read my signature! Now let's see... "Hold the Wire"-the ad-libs being made when Popeye and Bluto are walking on the phone line; "Did you ever see a guy fallin? Well you willlllllllllll!" "Never Kick a Woman"-Nice equipment they got around here...

I would be scambling like mad to find a blank tape! Actuallly, that's what many of us did during a memorable Acme Hour in October 2000. For two hours, we were treated to many rare cartoons, including: -The Midnight Snack (Tom and Jerry) -Saturday Evening Puss (Tom and Jerry) -Malibu...

This may be Disney's response to backlash for cutting the Vault Disney program block down to just four hours, but it appears they releasing a new series of DVD's called the "Vault Disney Collection". After looking around, there are four DVD's containing classic live-action films being...

I don't know if anybody around here already knows about this, but I found a website devoted to the great voice artist Daws Butler. It was put together by an apprentice of Butler's; it contains written interviews, photos of Butler as well as Stan Freberg and Don Messick. Also, you can listen...

Uh, Ahem... It so happens that I'm African-American, but I get a kick out of the ending of Fresh Hare. I consider myself lucky to have it uncut on a public domain tape many years ago. I am also lucky to have 8 of the "Censored 11" cartoons. I think "Coal Black" is one of the absolute best...

Not destroyed.... But hidden from public view. The 60's Popeye cartoons are owned by King Features Syndicate, while the theatricals are owned by Warner Bros. Warner's would have to pay for airing those particular cartoons; that's the same reason we don't get to see cartoons featuring the Pink...

Simpson Couch Gags... Some of the couch gags on The Simpsons also reference classic cartoons: -the "Simpson Tide" episode has a couch gag the spoofs the transition scene from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show (with them growing out of the ground like flowers), right down to the music! This has...

One of my favorite endings is from.... HOCKEY HOMICIDE (Goofy, 1945) This hilarious cartoon builds up to the final 2 minutes, where all-out mayhem ensues; Doodles Weaver's announcing gets faster and faster! Also, the scenes are intercut with shots from other sports Goofy shorts, airplanes...

The Mansion Cat This was produced by Cartoon Network Studios (formerly "Hanna-Barbera" Studios) last year. Joe Barbera himself was the voice of Tom's owner (in the cartoon, his shoes said "JB"). And if you watch carefully, you can see old photographs of Bill and Joe gracing the walls of the...

All I can say is...... Yahooooooooooooooooooooooo! "Spinach for Britain" is no longer going to be the only B&W Popeye I have with original titles!

One More Thing! Originally posted by Joe Tully [B]There have been a lot of TV Popeye's. A synopsis of Popeye's TV history is here http://yesterdayland.com/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1166.php This is where I met Pastor Steve Bierly a couple of years ago, he still hangs out here. He can...

The "Other" Popeyes.... Let a Popeye fan tell you! When the Popeye cartoons of Fleischer/Famous Studios became a massive success on 50's television, King Features Syndicate began creating new made-for-television cartoons featuring the sailor. Many of them did hark back to Segar's stories...

I always had a soft spot for.... Donald Duck! I love Daffy as much as the rest of you guys, but Donald provides me with a lot of laughs too! After all, he is like me-always having to put up with life's little frustrations. And you can't beat that voice! Who would have thought that one...
