He's my champ when it comes to animation. Gavin is entitled to his obsessions -- we can't even explain our own.<br /><br />It strikes me that if somebody were having a night out or a gathering for classic film buffs, using these cartoons for a trivia contest would be great fun. <br /><br />John, like you a lot of these made a huge impression on me when I was a kid. Only now when I look back am I astonished to realize I knew most of the stars they were lampooning.Jacqueline T.

When I try to share some of those others like favourite Hollywood Steps Out, he all of a sudden isn't interested. Sigh!<br /><br />You mentioned some new/old titles to me and I cannot wait to check them out.

Though admittedly I couldn't always remember who was supposed to be who. :) <br /><br />I'm trying to remember if I ever did see these on the big screen and I suppose I must have since I remember them in color. Or maybe it's just that I watched them on early color television. I know I saw them in black and white on very early TV as well. So it's kind of come full circle. <br /><br />Great post, Jacqueline!<br /><br />P.S.
