So one of my New Year’s resolutions is to watch a movie each week. I’ve missed out on so many films simply because I’ve never had the time to really sit down and enjoy them.
Anyone got any recommendations of any film I should look into? I'm open to anything from any genre (except horror)

"Pigs is Pigs", directed by Friz Freleng, was released on this day in 1937. This cautionary tale about the temptation of gluttony became a major influence for various media over the years including The Simpsons and SpongeBob SquarePants.

And here's Basil Davidovich's final animation, which is his most well-known scene seen in "Hair-Raising Hare"
It's in this scene where Bugs reacts to seeing Gossamer for the first time and then asks if there's a doctor around just so he has the opportunity say his catchphrase.

Here's another high energy scene from Basil Davidovich (starting at 0:11) seen here in "Draftee Daffy"
Here, he animates Daffy to be very energetic and loose as he run aways from The Man From The Draft Board by running up and flying away via a rocket ship.

Animator of last month is Basil Davidovich, whose animation stays true to the model sheets while injecting great energy into the characters he animates. This is seen here in "A Pest in the House", where Daffy exaggerates just how quiet the hotel is while the man is struggling to carry his luggage.

To quote a comment someone made on this short: "A Chuck Jones cartoon... I'll steal it! No one will ever know!"

My brain froze today. I had a clip I wanted to post but now I forgot what it was. It was going to be from a certain animator but forgot what short it was.
I'm gonna keep a note to myself and make a document listing all shorts I should post on a daily basis to keep on track with things.

You know what I like? Seeing Donald Duck losing his temper to anything, even when he's tourmented by mice and tries to squabble at them only to get pulled out of the stage. You almost feel sorry for the duck, but can't stop laughing at him.

This is a fun Bugs cartoon from my childhood and the ending always got to me as a kid when Bugs tricks Elmer that we have rabbititus, says it was a gag and then tells us that we not have these symptons while also displaying it to us. Great stuff all around.

The way John McLeish reads this narration in WILLOUGHBY'S MAGIC HAT (1943) cracks me up.

Gonna be back in business on posting shorts from tomorrow (or the 23rd at around 6-8 PM GMT).
Based on the days I've missed, I'll have to try to post a couple of clips for the next several days to play catch and I might start with the animator of last and this month.

90+ years old Dante Barbetta, who started his career at Famous Studios in 1953, is still actively animating for fun! This was originally shared by @dee_bax

This is a fun short I recommend checking out. The soft spoken bulldog is really funny here as tries to be cool with the fox stealing the chicken.
Too bad he only appeared in a few shorts as I feel like he would've had a lot of potential to develop as a character if he was featured in more shorts.

Happy 75th anniversary to "A Fox in a Fix" (1951), directed by Robert McKimson. Available on Looney Tunes Collector's Vault Volume 1.

Another Clampett question popped into my head. Regarding these four cartoons below, what are your opinions on how Art Davis and Robert McKimson handled these unfinished shorts Clampett worked on before leaving?

I thought about something: I wish Clampett made a Bugs and Daffy short before leaving WB. It would be cool to see them in their screwball personas causing chaos to Elmer or anyone provoking them.
He almost did one that's similar to "What's Buzzin' Buzzard?" but seems like it didn't go through.

Sorry for the radio silence for the past few days. My exams start very soon and I've been working on getting some final revision done.
Expect a bit less activity for the next week and a half as I prioritise them. I'll play catch-up at some point and post a few clips per day once I'm free.
Thanks!

This short turned 69 and holds a special place in my heart, as it was one of the first LT cartoons I ever saw. Stan Freberg’s singing alongside Shorty Rogers’ composition, makes it one heck of a catchy short and is hard not to tap your feet along.

This is possibly one of my favourite McKimson shorts, mainly because of how lively he made Bugs here with all the acts he's trying to perform, especially his scat-singing and dancing, much to the scientists’ disapproval.

This short turned 85 today, and I’ll admit I enjoyed watching it as a kid. Sure, Bugs’ deep voice is a bit off-putting and the pacing feels slow, but his Groucho Marx-like mannerisms, especially his catchphrase and walk, still make it quite funny.

This is a decent Barney Bear short with Barney using child psychology to a young wildcat. In this Mike Lah animated scene, the kid puts a rock in the football which causes Barney's bones to shatter from the inside which gave me a good laugh.

One thing I never thought about when watching this is the use of songs from The Wizard of Oz, such as “Over the Rainbow” heard in this clip. It’s neat to see Scott Bradley incorporating music from other MGM films into his scores for shorts like this.
