I'm old enough to miss the happy feeling of getting a new tv guide in the mail with a great Jack Davis cover.

It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

Ichabod's flight from the Headless Horseman is one of the high water marks in Disney animation, from direction to sound design, it all comes together in an incredible mood...

A couple of recent watercolor experiments I’ve been playing with. Still have a lot of improving to do, it’s been a long time since I’ve used watercolors, have a lot of rust to shake off.

The simple truth is people love this stuff and will watch it if you let them, not by putting it behind a premium fee. I fell in love with these cartoons as a kid because they used to be on TV all the time so I could, ya know, watch them lmao.
After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.
