Members quartermainefan Posted October 13, 2011 Members Share Posted October 13, 2011 Anybody into the old WB cartoons? They were genius. I think this is my favorite cartoon of all time and it must be 75 years old <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/akAEIW3rmvQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted October 13, 2011 Members Share Posted October 13, 2011 My favorite of all time is an MGM cartoon, not WB... the animation is so atmospheric and beautiful, especially at the end where the flowers above the boat light up like lanterns, the way the reflections in the water is drawn is pure genius. Sweet, cute, innocent, with beautiful music. this cartoon is just perfect in every way: Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 13, 2011 Members Share Posted October 13, 2011 Those were the MGM ones from Harmen/Ising, who started off at Disney and basically ripped off the Disney Silly Symphony style--which are my faves. Those and the wacky, surreal Max Fleischer shorts (which were not for kids, and actually they had trouble when the Ratings Code came into films in 1933--Betty Boop no longer could have a strapless dress and other silly rules).

Members Max Posted October 15, 2011 Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 I'm not sure in 80's cartoons could really be called classic, but these two intros are among my all time favorites: Heathcliff (1984-87): <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5u0OmU6cXX4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Alvin and the Chipmunks (1983-91): <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/80eb_aNaSm8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I already posted these two intros in another thread, but decided to re-post them because I felt they belonged here as well.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 22, 2011 Members Share Posted October 22, 2011 They're gorgeous and of course were a huge influence on the Batman series of the 90s--it's too bad they were so expensive, and then Famous(Paramount) bought out the Fleischer studio from under them. I believe they actually did the last one or two of the series, and you cabn see the drop in quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
