Ghostbusters - Best intros ever - Part 1



I find there are no more good intros for animated series anymore. The 80s had long, grand, epic 60 sec. intros that really added a lot to the show. Extra care and quality was always put in, most of the time entirely different studios were commissioned to do it and had a separate large budget and schedule to execute these nice promos.
I shall endeavor to regularly find theses classic cartoon intros for display.

A new trailer for Zack Snyder's 300 has gone online in a high quality format, finally allowing a real look at the gorgeous visuals in motion. The film is an adaptation of Frank Miller's epic graphic novel, telling the story of the Battle of Thermopylae, in which 300 Spartan warriors fought the odds against the enormous Persian army.

Christopher Guest, director of Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind, has gathered his usual troops together for another largely improvised outing, this time ditching the mockumentary format, in For Your Consideration. Watch the trailer and you'll be thankful that Guest keeps choosing the same amazing cast (plus adding some, like Ricky Gervais) that keep delivering the laughs.

The Inspector

I remember loving these as a kid... and still do, great cartoons, please watch them, before CN or MGM take them off YouTube.



The Inspector - Canadian Can-Can


The Inspector - Le Quiet Squad


The Inspector - London Derriere

The Ant and the Aardvark

I haven't seen these in 20 years so I only noticed the Rodney Dangerfield impression now for his character, Aardvark is practically a stand-up comedian through these shorts.



Naked at the beach - Viewer Discretion is Advised

Why was this banned from television? I simply don't know.

Special K

John K. gave a talk this eveneing at King's College, revisitng 30s and 40s classic cartoons by Fleicher, Avery, and Clampett. It's always great to see these oldies on the big screen, John talked about their varying styles and techniques. Here's one of my favorite John K. shorts from Season two of Ren & Stimpy.
