Just for fun.

Buddy’s Circus (1934)

Has this puppet gone wild been done by anyone else? #TexAvery

Dog Trouble (1942)

A kitten is trying to make Sylvester look bad to Elmer. This high energy set up puts Sylvester in the worst position. You can’t see it coming. #LooneyTunes #Sylvester #ElmerFudd

Swamp roots.

Have you ever seen six men play Raymond Scott's Powerhouse on a menagerie of hilarious looking harmonicas? Now you can say that you have. Isn't the world occasionally beautiful? (From the 1940 short film THE DIPSY DOODLER)

The Bashful Buzzard (1945) Bob Clampett #MerrieMelodies

I wonder if the Three Stooges will ever be a public domain property. Animation could take their slapstick to a new level. #ThreeStooges #Slapstick #PhysicalComedy

Loops a good way to appreciate animation. #Popeye #Animation #Fleischer

Batty Baseball (1944) #TexAvery #MGMcartoons

Two clips. The first is from Robert McKimson’s An Egg Scramble (1950) The second from Pixar’s Inside Out. #MerrieMelodies #Pixar #Anger

A farm animal mash-up from an old Mickey Mouse cartoon. #Disney #Animation

A looping chase for you. #TomAndJerry

The most ingenious cross-eyed gag ever. #Popeye #comedy

The cats eyes following the tongue to the dog is my favorite part. #cartoons

Multiple caricatures of movie comedians in A Hollywood Detour (1942)

I think this is my favorite L&H gag. Stan has the “white magic” of the fool.

#TexAvery

From Van Beuren’s Barking Dogs (1933)

All Wet (1927) #OswaldTheLuckyRabbit #Disney #Cartoons

Puttin’ on the Dog (1944) #TomAndJerry

Some great Popeye animation. #Popeye #Dance

I love Porky’s close up turn to camera. #PorkyPig #DaffyDuck #LooneyTunes

Tricksters Heckle and Jeckle

I hope this actually happens.

Tex Avery out of context.

The vaudeville influence is obvious in this clip from Van Beuren Studios short The Animal Fair (1931)

In cartoons, trees have almost no roots.

Fire Chief (1940) #DonaldDuck #Disney #Animation

In The Merry Mutineers (1936) a toy boat is crewed by caricatures of stars from the 1930s. #LaurelAndHardy

Drunk turtles singing in The Haunted Ship (1930)
