Another terrifically busy week here at Thunderbean- but heck, why do I need to tell you folks that? You’re all busy with your stuff too!
Magilla Gorilla will never make anyone’s “Top Ten” list and this image has nothing to do with this post – except that its a “list” of all the talented folks who worked at H-B in 1964.
This week I spent a good amount of time sorting through the contents of my mother’s house. She was a great supporter of my love of cartoons, finding articles for me, taking me to professors at U of M to show my drawings, and even sending checks to film collectors for me before I had a job. She kept everything, stacked inside large boxes on shelves in the basement. When I say she kept everything, I mean everything- a neat hoarder in a way. It continues to be a huge job to sort without just tossing everything, but I feel I owe it to her to find good homes where I can since there’s so many really amazing things – to the right person. Going through all these boxes at breakneck speed was and continues to be quite a challenge. Since there was so much paper and cardboard in these boxes (she saved all the boxes for nearly everything too) it was an easy choice to recycle as much as possible. The people at the recycle center were having a great time looking though and sometimes keeping the various unused greeting cards, flyers and magazines and anything paper you can name.
As I fished things out of the boxes, I found a list from the late 80s that my friend Lou Goldberg had made. Lou is a film fanatic and quite knowledgeable about a variety of films and music. The list he made for me was hand-written, and contained what he considered to be his ‘Top 10’ films. The first on the list was Zabriskie Point, followed by Tokyo Olympiad, Marnie, and Le Bette Human, with Johnny Guitar a little further down the list. I was fascinated, and knew I wanted to see some of these films, ones that were foreign to me even though I had been attending the Campus 16mm film showings for many years. I remember showing this list to the head of the program in Film and Video studies, where I worked at the time. As he looked, his eyebrows raised as he pointed to Zabriskie Point, then down again on Marnie if memory serves. He made a comment that *his* list would be very different, but this one was “respectable”. To me, this meant that there was some commonality in this “good” list.
I remember asking a collector while we were watching films in the same basement I was cleaning out this week if he had a top ten list. The answer was ‘I dunno’, followed by a statement that the ‘real’ cartoon people don’t like all that stuff that everyone else does, but instead like the things that NO ONE else likes, such as the Famous Studios and Terrytoons. This was a grand departure from the idea of a ‘GOOD’ list, but, oddly, I found that respectable as well.
There are some collectors who will have the Disney stuff on a hallowed shelf, or have stacks of bootleg 60s TV cartoons. So, after all this, what the heck is the value of the list anyway?
To, me, it’s just this: I never would have SEEN Tokyo Olympiad had Lou not had it on the list, and I’m glad I did. It really didn’t matter that Citizen Kane was on there, or Rear Window – I had seen both and would return again. The value in the list I think is tracking down and seeing things you haven’t if you enjoy such things. So, with that, I’m putting two of my ‘lists’ here, and hope that you will do the same int he comments. Instead of a usual list, write one of an esoteric nature. Please? Oh, and please, DON’T include One Froggy Evening or Popeye Meets Sindbad or even the underrated classic Old McDonald. We’ve seen them I think at this point 😉
Heck, this is the equivalent of doing a crossword puzzle on the back of a 70s Frosted Flakes box (something I found in all that sorting….).
I’ll start:
Top 10 cartoons with good death scenes:
1) Mice Meeting You – Famous
2) Rough on Rats – Van Beuren

4) Peace on Earth – Harman/Ising
6) There’s Good Boos Tonight – Famous
7) Education for Death – Disney
8) Cat-Choo – Famous
9) The Battle of the Barn – Scrappy
10) Der Schneemann – Hans Fischerkoesen
Top 5 cartoons I’ve fallen asleep watching:

4) The Reluctant Dragon (Rankin/Bass)
5) Gundam Wing (sorry anime fans…)
Ok – your turn. No fair copying – come up with an odd one that shows someone here something they haven’t seen!

You avoid shows based on your dislike of their fanbase?
Makes my commenter’s statement that my list doesn’t include anything made in the past 50 years seem piddling by comparison!
Okay, skipping over stuff like THE OLD MILL, SKELETON DANCE and DUMBO (I still tell people that one is my all time favorite movie), here, in no particular order, are ten FAVORITE cartoons. Not necessarily my list for best or greatest or even my personal all time faves, but certainly ten films that never fail to delight me. I’d drop anything to watch one of these one more time…
ICLKE MEETS PICKLE (Terry-1942, Connie Rasinski)
ROCKEY-BYE BABY (WB-1956, Chuck Jones)
LITTLE OL’ BOSKO AND THE CANNIBALS (MGM-1937, Hugh Harmon)

PIANO TOONERS (RKO-1932, John Foster/George Rufle)
LITTLE TOOT (Disney-1954, Clyde Geronimi)

THE BULLETEERS (Paramount-1942, Dave Fleischer/ Orestes Calpini)
That’s a great list Dave A perfect show even for the familiar or not so familiar..
“Dig That Dog?” Ohhhh, YES! I have LOVED that silly thing ever since my parents bought me the 8mm home movie of it from Castle Films, nearly 60 YEARS ago! I was okay with the lack of sound and color–it was the images onscreen that fascinated me and entertained me to no end! Icing on the cake: Later learning that the narration was by Jack Benny’s “favorite” floorwalker, Frank Nelson! Perfect! :-)!

10. Fantasia
9. Gertie the Dinosaur

Love this post, Steve! May I suggest you make this a recurring theme to revisit from time to time?
Funny, Steve. I cleaned out part of my late grandma’s basement last year and found a “My 50 Favorite Cartoons” draft that I had written when I was eight. It’s pretty hilarious, just strictly limited to what I had on VHS collections or seen on TV. Here’s just the first ten…

BABY BOTTLENECK
VENTRILOQUIST CAT

Not a list but a single favourite: “The Legend of Rockabye Point” (Lantz, dir. Tex Avery). I saw it several times as a kid and was able to see it again a few years ago when the first Woody Woodpecker set came out on DVD.

Here’s a list of some of my favorites. I saw these at venues like college film festivals, repertory theaters, film classes and sci-fi conventions in the 80s & 90s. I think I may have seen a few on Night Flight and Liquid Television as well. These are in no particular order:
Bambi Meets Godzilla (1969) d. Marv Newland
Ode to G.I. Joe (1990) d. Gregory Grant
The Potato Hunter (1991) d. Timothy Hittle
Broken Down Film (1985) d. Osamu Tezuka
Sunbeam (1980) d. Paul Vester
Next (1989) d. Barry Purves
The Cat Came Back (1988) d. Cordell Barker
The Irises (1991) d. Suzanne Gervais & Jacques Girardeau
Juke-Bar (1989) d. Martin Barry
Begone Dull Care (1949) d. Norman McLaren
The Mascot (1933) d. Ladislaw Starewicz
The Song of the Prairie (1949) d. Jiri Trnka
Stick Figure Theater (1991) Any of the episodes but The Psycho Trailer and The Hindenburg Disaster are particularly good. (This was from Liquid Television)
The Wizard of Speed and Time (1979) d. Mike Jittlov – all of his stuff is fun
This is an excellent list Suzanne! I would’ve included some of these on mine but I wanted to make it simple with the ten I picked anyway, though one surrounding the more indie film fest work would’ve also been another of my lists as well! Some of these I use to see either as “filler” on premium channels like Showtime and later on VHS through a public library video collection.
This may win as my favorite list here- it’s an education in animation history, as is the J. Lewis’s list below!
This may win as my favorite list here- it’s an education in animation history, as is the J. Lewis’s list below!
Certainly the films that should be requirements in such a course on animation history.
Such high compliments from the experts. I’m blushing!
I wouldn’t know where to begin with my favorite animated shorts, without composing a top hundred or so.
Yet here are my top features… and “features”…
1.) Le Roman De Renard (Tale Of A Fox) (Ladislas Starewicz, 1931, released ’37 in German, ’40 in French)
… This is needing the Criterion DVD treatment even more than Wes Anderson’s foxy stop-motion feature
2.) Mars And Beyond (Disney – Ward Kimball, 1957)
… OK, so it is really a TV show. Yet it is the one Disney “feature” I’ve enjoyed the most. Even has a cameo of Donald Duck among the aliens.
3.) King Kong (RKO, 1933)
… What? You mean to tell me this is actually a live-action feature with Willis O’Brien special effects?
4.) Bambi (Disney, 1942)
… One of the directors, Dave Hand, tried to revive some of his forest friends in merry ol’ England with his Animaland series and almost, if not quite, succeeded. Ginger Nut is still a guilty pleasure of mine.
5.) Three Caballeros (Disney, 1944)
… This may be as close to the psychedelic LSD sixties as Disney animation ever got. Also nice to see that Donald has taken his Cialis.
6.) Maugli (Soyuzmultfilm, Roman Davydov, 1973)
… Technically not really a “feature”, but five 20 minute shorts initially released annually from 1967-1971 and later stitched together as a feature. No offense to Disney and Sabu’s “Jungle Books” and Chuck Jones’ “Mowgli’s Brohers”, but this is a Grade A production that needs more exposure than it receives.
7.) Fritz The Cat (Ralph Bakshi, 1971)
… It is so questionable in taste and, yeah, I know I am not supposed to laugh over “Have you ever done it with an aardvark before?” and “Will you look at that. You ain’t black enough, Hon.”
8.) Cisaruv Slavik (The Emperor’s Nightingale) (Jiri Trnka, 1948)
… It is not the Czech master’s best feature, but it is among the few made available in the US where pickings are still slim.
9.) Jason And The Argonauts (Columbia, with Ray Harryhausen, 1963)
… Ohhhhh…. I know it does NOT belong on this list since 60% is live-action. Yet we don’t see the live-action clips excerpted in TV documentaries, do we?
10.) Toy Story (1995)
… Pixar’s Snow White… sometimes cgi is better when it is simpler.
Hey, Jerry Beck, ol’ buddy ol’ pal! What are your favorite Top Ten theatrical cartoon shorts? I’d really _love_ to know!
Here’s a top ten list I’ve been thinking about off and on for years. A few years ago, somebody or other had a list of the top ten cartoon stars of all time. Coincidentally, exactly half were theatrical cartoon stars and half were TV. I’m going to dispense with the TV cartoon stars and showcase only the theatrical cartoon stars. Here they are (original numerical order in parens):
1. (1.) Bugs Bunny (now who’s gonna argue with THAT?)
2. (4.) Mickey Mouse
3. (5.) Popeye the Sailor
4. (8.) Daffy Duck
5. (9.) Betty Boop
An excellent group – no arguments at all with that fine group of guys (and one gal). So I got to thinking: What five additional theatrical cartoon stars would I add to that list to round it out to the Top Ten Greatest Theatrical Cartoon Stars? (Shorts only!) This was VERY tough!:
6. Tom and Jerry (the cat and mouse) (as one entry)
7. Donald Duck
8. Woody Woodpecker
9. The Pink Panther
10. Felix the Cat
Tom and Jerry were easy. Donald and Woody I chose on sheer number of cartoons alone – after all, that is a good measure of popularity. The last two I chose because they were the last and first (respectively) really great and successful theatrical cartoon stars.
It really depressed me to leave out my personal second favorite cartoon star (after Bugs Bunny), namely Porky Pig (sorry, Porky!), but I hadda do it.
Responses welcome…
Okay, okay, I thought about it and here are my favorite theatrical bits of craziness that absolutely surprised me when I actually saw them, even if only on grainy black and white TV:
1. “CIRCUS DAZE” (Bosko/MGM HAPPY HARMONIES)
2. “OSWALD’S FIVE ‘N’ TEN” (Walter Lantz–sorry if this is not quite the correct title, but I love the production number around the song throughout this Lantz classic)
3. “BOSKO’S PICTURE SHOW” (Warner Brothers/LOONEY TUNES–I only learned about this one upon going to numerous toon festivals, and I like just about anything that parodies Hollywood of the period in which it is made)
4. “BUDDY OF THE APES” (this cartoon would go along with what I said above; it’s a terrific parody on the whole “TARZAN” story, along with “TARFOOT OF THE APES”, part of Jay Ward’s “FRACTURED FLICKERS”, , even if cringe-inducing in its stereotyping–it is of its time, I emphasize)
5. “SHANGHIED SHIPMATES” (Warner Bros./PORKY PIG–as close to a dramatic cartoon from Warner Brothers; you’re rooting for Porky as he faces off against the cruel captain)
6. “DR. JEKYL AND MR. MOUSE” (one of the great TOM & JERRY cartoons, especially when the formula that Tom cooks up takes effect–and you can really enjoy the sound effects on this one!)
7. “BUDDY’S ADVENTURE” (Warner Bros./LOONEY TUNES/Buddy–while I do wish there was more of a premise to this cartoon, I do like the resulting production number that Buddy performs that eventually ticks off the sour creatures…and I like almost any space cartoons of this period because it is a frontier that we were still only imagining)
8. “LITTLE BUCK CHEEZER” (MGM/Happy Harmonies–ditto for this cartoon, and some truly nice animation as well)
9. “CHEW CHEW BABY” (Paramount’s best of those toons that play, to me, like social commentary. As I recall, it even has a great closing segment, too)
10. “SITTIN’ ON THE BACK YARD FENCE” (Warner Brothers/MERRIE MELODIES–what can I say? I also like toons with cats, and this is one of those great early alley cat toons)
And that’s just off the top of my head. I guess I chose some, just wishing that they’d show up restored on DVD to add to my collection, but they are all titles that I very much look forward to whenever they show up, either at festivals or on TV or, yes, especially in my DVD collection, from swops or from professional release! I don’t mean to leave out the many New York favorites, like “BOOP BOOP BA DOOP”, but I’m not as familiar with the titles of so many otherwise magnificent Terrytoons. Trust me, there are many, many more that I cherish throughout the golden age! The ones I listed are those that I actually ahd the chance to see before I lost my sight. I’d seen and enjoyed so many terrific toons in my younger years, thanks to days when just about anything from that golden age showed up and left us all wide-eyed and amazed!
