Happy Halloween!
Wanna watch some cartoons?
• Vincent (Tim Burton, 1982, 6 min)
Tim Burton's first animation ran for two weeks in one theater and was then buried in the Disney vault for years. It was dug up again after Burton started making movies. Narrated by Vincent Price.
• Goodnight Norma... Goodnight Milton... (John Schnall, 1988, 6 min)
This creepy short about a bickering married couple may require a little patience, but it's worth it.
• The Skeleton Dance (Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, 1929, 6 min)
Walt Disney created the Silly Symphonies series to experiment with animating to music. There were 75 of them produced between 1929 and 1939, building up to Fantasia, released in 1940.
Also, remember local Philly late-night show, Saturday Night Dead? The adverts would say, "watch Saturday Night Dead after Saturday Night Live".
