Great animated shorts

My day job is closed today due to snow. Wanna watch some cartoons?

5 Great Cartoons

Slick Hare (Fritz Freleng, 1947)
Probably my all time favorite. Dave Barry's Humphrey Bogart impression, Carmen Miranda, plenty of celebrity caricatures, and terrific backgrounds. Mr. Milland is Ray Milland from The Lost Weekend. I watched that movie just to get the joke in this cartoon.

A Dream Walking (Dave Fleischer, 1934)
This Popeye cartoon is a breathtaking technical achievement. To think they did this without a computer. It spins the brain around.

Mickey's Trailer (Ben Sharpsteen, 1938)
My favorite Mickey Mouse cartoon.

Little Red Riding Rabbit (Fritz Freleng, 1944)
The bobby-soxer version of Red Riding Hood, voiced by Bea Benaderet.
"What BIG EYES ya GOT!"

Special Delivery (Eunice Macaulay & John Weldon, 1978)
Something cool from Canada, because it's snowing.
