Thoughts On A New Year…

Happy After-Christmas Cartoon: “The Little Toy Soldier”
I sort of enjoyed this little film and the bizarre nature of this little tale.
The Little King in “Pals” (1933)
The Little King’s Christmas short is odd, but it’s one of my favorites to watch each year!
The Almost-First Warner Bros. Cartoon: “Buster Bear” (1931)
Since scans were done in December 2016, I think it’s finally time to let poor Buster officially out of the bag!
Krazytoons: “Christmas Daze” (1959)
Part of the “Tune Cartoon” series produced by Rowl Greenhalgh Productions in Australia for Television in the late 50s.
Happy Thanksgiving with a Non-Thanksgiving themed cartoon: “Land of the Lost Jewels” (1950)
Happy Thanksgiving to folks in the states, and happy Thursday to everyone else!
Van Beuren’s Tom and Jerry, triumph and catharsis: “Rocketeers” (1932)
From dancing Mermaids to an unhappy moon worried about getting a rocket sent to it, this Tom and Jerry has a broad range of emotional uncertainty.
“Mighty Mouse and the Kilkenny Cats” (1945)
It’s a Terrytoons sort of day here – so prepare yourself for that clanging and water bucket sound effects!
Cubby Bear returns: “Bubbles and Troubles” (1933)
I really enjoy the freewheeling nature of the Cubbys in this little period.
HOLIDAY ENCORE: Toby the Pup in “Hallowe’en” (1931)
An annual tradition here — finally ON Halloween! (You don’t ever have to be properly dressed to enjoy a Toby cartoon!)
