Saturday Cartoon

ALOHA!

It's Play Day Saturday :)



"Man is most nearly himself
when he achieves the seriousness
of a child at play."

Heraclitus









"Edison failed 10, 000 times
 before he made the electric light.
Do not be discouraged
 if you fail a few times." 


Napoleon Hill 













"Walking with a friend in the dark
 is better than walking alone in the light."

Helen Keller 





"My wife was afraid of the dark... 
then she saw me naked
 and now she's afraid of the light."

Rodney Dangerfield

    "She hung around with a guy named Smokey--

    She loved him although he was cokey;

    He took her down to Chinatown,

    And he showed her how to kick the gong around."

    Man, I love those old pre-code cartoons and movies. A very short time after this was made, they never would have been able to use Calloway's lyrics. I notice that the second short says they made cartoons until 1934...I wonder if the decency code did them in?

    I'm partial to the old Felix the Cat cartoons, too, before he got all sanitized and boring.

    So cool that you posted these! Btw, I wonder why Betty Boop remains so famous today, while Bimbo is kind of forgotten. At least, I didn't know about him until you told me.

    You can't beat the classic black and white cartoons and the jazz swing of Cab Calloway. Very funny man Rodney Dangerfield.

    Anyone else notice the ghost singing Calloway around the 6 minute mark did a "Micheal Jackson" moon walk?

    That was good to hear again been awhile and see one of the best kind of animation, like Fireblossom said pre morality and decency tribunals.

    I noticed the moon-walk at the beginning as well as in the cartoon section. Wonder if that is where it originated? Thanks for the quote from Helen Keller.
