It's a series of Walt Disney shorts that I'm sure no one knows about.

Alice Comedies
"Magic can happen to you."

Julius the cat looks so much like Felix. I like Alice's Orphan.

This is one of the reasons why "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" seemed more like hype rather than a technical achievement. Mixed media has been around a long time and the Alice Comedies are very well done.

When you watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit, you saw so much interaction between live action and animation that you had to wonder how they did it. It was taking traditional live action/animation combinations to the Nth degree. You love this signature.

Yeah, that's what all my friends were telling me as we drove away from the theater. My gripe was Roger Rabbit, I was expecting a more engaging character. but Jessica makes up for that, lol!
You guys remember "Where's Huddles" from 1970? |

Wow Edd. That looks... just dreadful.

"Where's Huddles" still has me scratching my head all these years later. The only reason I can come up with was "The Flintstones".
Hanna-Barbera spent the rest of the 1960's looking for that Flintstones' magic. Many a brainstorming session must have taken place as idea after idea was thrown at the wall, to see what would stick. No one had a good answer for why Fred and Barney were so successful while everything else faded away. Timing was part of the answer. Maybe the whole Flintstones project was a lucky strike, right idea at the right time. Seems to me that every H-B project after the Flintstones was an attempt to make the next hit TV show. From "The Jetsons" to "Jonny Quest", H-B never gave up and I'm glad for it. As for SatAM any idea was a go, as long as it didn't cost a lot of money. |

I remember that show. Was it meant to be an extension of I Dream of Jeannie? I don't recall.

I do know there was a Lost in Space cartoon but it's too awful to post here - I have standards ya know! At the turn of the century I caught the cartoon version of the 16th century Chinese legendary story, "Monkey - Journey to the West". As one of the oldest, continuously re-told stories from classical China, its been performed as a stage play, live action movie, puppet show, a live action TV series and several different cartoon shows. The one I saw in 1999 was called, "Monkey Magic". Here's my favorite scene: |
