Happy birthday Tweety! He was originally created by Bob Clampett but for most of his classic cartoon career, he was handled by Friz Freleng and paired up with Sylvester. Today, he’s a WB merchandising and spinoff icon. #LooneyTunes #tweetybird #Sylvester80

A few days ago was the 85th Anniversary of one of my favorite animated films, Fantasia. To celebrate the occasion I made this music themed edit.
Although really it was made a few years ago. #animation #photoedit #music

I kept my word. So here it is. An BTS article on TM Books and Video from the July 2004 issue of Classic Toy Trains. While some are familiar with the ones from OGR, here’s one rarely seen online.

Here’s something that I didn’t expect. A prototype cover for I Love Toy Trains Part 12. It wasn’t actually the AFT 4449 originally rather it was the multicolored City of Denver. #tmbooksandvideo #trains

Here’s a moment of silence to honour our troops who’d sacrificed our lives during the war. Lest we forget.
