LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Robert Reynolds This is a color Scrappy cartoon produced by Columbia studio. There will be spoilers ahead:This short rather inexplicably was nominated for the Academy Award for Short Subjects, Cartoons. Granted, the point is moot, because nothing else would have had any better chance of beating The Tortoise and the Hare from Disney than this short, but Poor Cinderella and A Dream Walking were done in 1934. Oh well.The premise is certainly an interesting one. Scrappy is sleeping late and in danger of missing school. The pages blow off a calendar, with five of them-New Year, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Easter-being walked through by Father Time, Santa, a turkey, a witch and the Easter Bunny. Father Time extols Scrappy in song to come take a look. Four of the five holidays have their own holiday-centered sequences (Halloween is omitted for some reason. The animation is decent if nothing special and the gags are occasionally nice.The ending is cute if predictable. It's a Scrappy cartoon, somewhat better than the general run, with the addition of color a novelty.This short can be seen here and there and is well worth seeking out to see. Recommended.

boblipton This "Scrappy" cartoon from the Mintz factory is the first they produced in color. It's two-color Technicolor, since Disney had a monopoly on the three-color variety. It looks a little off, since the design was not changed. The line drawing of Scrappy with splashes of color looks weird -- but then he always did. Certainly the background work benefits from from the color and emphasizes the size of a couple of shots.As for the story, Scrappy doesn't want to get up to go to school and dreams of going to a banquet with tiny avatars of holidays. Like many of the Scrappies, it's an exercise in childhood weirdness and enjoyable. My interest in how they handled the color kept it from being too long.
