I LOVE the old Tom and Jerry. Especially

"Solid Serenade"

Little Audrey is also a favorite.

By the way, didn&#39;t you use "Red Hot Riding Hood" as your screen name at some point?

Yeah I started out with that name, but when I came back I couldn&#39;t find it, and didn&#39;t have the email address anymore so I couldn&#39;t get the password.. so heck I decided to just use the name I used on my LJ at the time. I have this thing about Feral Children, so it works for me. 

As a kid, I loved this cartoon even though for some reason the Gremlin creeped me out. And really, nothing creeped me out as a kid. I love that the plane runs out of gas just before crashing. heh.

There&#39;s always classic cartoons playing at the Maxwell DeMille Theatre

Don&#39;t get me started, I could go on all day on this subject... I was in the first wave of cartoon appreciation collectors/educators, and I started collecting cartoons *on film* back in the early 70s&#33; Some faves...

The Fleischers&#33; From the silent Out of the Inkwells and Screen Songs through the Betty Boops, Popeyes, Supermans, and even some of the Color Classics and their not-quite-great features, there was nobody quite like the "New York school" of animation exemplified by the Fleischers and their crew. Brilliant, bizarre, timeless. ("Wanna be a member?&#33;?")

Disney. I especially love the Silly Symphonies and the Mickey Mouse "trio" shorts of the mid-30s, and the prewar features. But there was plenty of other great stuff made later on too, both in the 40s-60s and during the early 90s renaissance.

Warner Bros. Nuff said.

M-G-M. The only other studio to approach the technical brilliance of Disney. I especially love Tex Avery&#39;s astounding run there, and individual gems like "Peace On Earth".

There are plenty of other worthwhile cartoons out there (like the whacked-out stuff from Van Beuren, Terrytoons, UPA&#39;s early work, etc.), but these studios remain the titans of 20s-50s animation, IMHO.

I love Disney movies, especially Mickey.    Unfortunately Steamboat Willy doesn&#39;t seem to be available to buy on DVD, at least not in the UK. I&#39;d also love to see some Oswald cartoons, if any are available, so will keep looking out.
When I was younger, I remember an old cartoon called &#39;Ain&#39;t We Got Fun&#39; which I loved, but can&#39;t remember who made it, but it wonderful though. 

i&#39;ve got a video somewhere that i&#39;ve had since i was about 4 and it&#39;s got little lulu as well as some other things but i can&#39;t remember the name of them all, something about christmas.. a little brown mouse (and no it wasn&#39;t tom and jerry). God i wish i had a better memory&#33; 

...there is one cartoon made by the infamous Fleischer Brothers
...inthelate1930&#39;sorso...I first saw it many years ago on the old
PBS series &#39;Matinee At The Bijou&#39;...It was called &#39;Greedy Humpty
Dumpty&#39; and its title character, the ol&#39; egghead himself, attempts
to climb to the sun because there&#39;s gold in it. He reaches up to
strike the sun and experiences the most nightmarish/surrealistic/
drop-dead hilarious extreme punishment of wickedness I ever
saw in a cartoon...
    AND HERE&#39;s the part that kills me..I still laugh at that AFTER
ALL THESE YEARS...peace out, Bigzoned-outguy&#33;

YAY&#33;&#33;&#33;
