TOM & JERRY in SURF-BORED CAT

In this 1967 cartoon, Tom and Jerry are taking a cruise when Tom decides to go surfing. He has problems with a shark and a rather tenacious starfish. He becomes the surfboard himself when he swallows it.
PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON (1978)

"Puff, the Magic Dragon" is a song written by Leonard Lipton and Peter Yarrow and made popular by the group Peter, Paul and Mary in a 1963 recording. The song is so well-known that it has entered American and British pop culture.
In 1978 the song was turned into a 30 minute cartoon. Jackie is a boy who is so trapped by his fears and doubts that he could not communicate with anyone. His condition is so severe that the doctors are giving up and the parents are losing hope. Then, a magic dragon named Puff comes to help Jackie by taking his soul force on a wonderous voyage to his island of Honah Lee. Along the way, they have adventures that nurture Jackie's imagination and courage in unorthodox ways. However, their arrival at Honah Lee is marked with horror as they see the land despoiled and desolate which leaves Puff powerless. Yet while trapped in his despair, Puff soons to his own astonishment just how well he has changed Jackie for the better as the boy responds to this tragedy in his own way


THUGS WITH DIRTY MUGS (1939)
Thugs with Dirty Mugs is a 1939 Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series. Its title and subject matter (movie gangsters) are a parody of Warner's own 1938 acclaimed feature film, Angels with Dirty Faces. It is directed by Tex Avery. Written by Jack Miller. Music by Carl W. Stalling. Killer and his gang are robbing every bank in town in numerical order, except they skip the 13th National Bank. The police are unable to catch them, despite their predictability (and their endless sight gags). Finally, they get help from an unlikely source: the guy in the front of the theatre who sat through the picture before. They capture Killer, and he gets a long sentence, which he has to write on the blackboard 1,000 times.


BLITZ WOLF (1942)
Yet another variation on the Three Little Pigs theme, this time told as WW2 anti-German propaganda (the US had just entered the war), with the wolf as a thinly-disguised Hitler.
In this version of the classic fairy tale: the first little pig built his house of straw, the second out of sticks and the third out of bricks, mortar and a vast amount of military hardware. He also gives a warning to his brothers that they should be prepared for the arrival of the enemy: the big bad wolf. His brothers laugh, stating that they have a peace treaty with the wolf and he wouldn’t break his word… would he?


ALADDIN AND THE WONDERFUL MAP (1934)
This cartoon is one of the best made by Ub Iwerks in the few years he spent helming his own studio. It's a jazzy take on the ALADDIN fairy tale, with a gorgeous score and great animation, one of the most distinctive cartoons ever produced. A beautiful piece of work.


RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER (1948)
This 1948 rare animated version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer directed by Max Fleischer is quite enjoyable. Narrated by Paul Wing, the story begins with the lead character already not allowed to skate on ice with the others (all of whom wear pillows on their backs to break their falls). His mother then calls him (there's no father here) and as Rudolph sleeps in his bed, Santa has trouble with his eight reindeer (who he calls by name as they pass him) with the fog and blizzard in his way. If you know the song by heart (and who doesn't?), you can figure out what happens next and I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't heard of this story yet. Nice animation throughout and good pacing for a 7-minute cartoon. Worth seeing for Fleischer, Rudolph, and animation fans.

This banned cartoon was produced in 1943 by Disney. It is PURE 100% propaganda. This one is different than the ones we have online because there really isn’t any comedy or humor in this cartoon. Well, maybe only in that 30 second piece about the fairytale. You will probably will feel a bit freaked out when little Hans started expressing his hate for the rabbit? Thats some incredible voice acting. We do not recommend this for young children. It is here for educational purposes.
German adults are portrayed in classic Disney "sinister bulldog" style: barrel chest, small rear end, bowed legs, and no neck. The bellowing, red-faced instructor's jowls flop around like coattails as he berates a kindergarten classroom full of Bambi-eyed waifs in lederhosen, whose pluckish heads are delightfully oversized. The military professor's singular goal: get these scatterbrained kids to appreciate Hitler's way of thinking.
The lesson plan is presented at the blackboard. Chalk drawings of a fox eating a rabbit illustrate nature's intended course: the weaker species (i.e. Jews and bunnies) are justly but inevitably devoured without mercy by superior forces.
As Education For Death descends toward its bloody climax, the animation is bathed in murky red tones. The viewer is urged to "listen closely to the fanatic cry" of the German people. What follows is a pounding orchestral soundtrack and a relentless montage punctuating all things fire and brimstone.
Classic hardbound volumes of literature and philosophy are piled high, fanned at the spine and set ablaze. Flaming torches cast violent, flickering shadows as the Holy Bible morphs into a limited first-edition Mein Kampf. Crucifixes hung by the chimney with care are zapped by swift arcs of lightening from the heavens, and transformed into unfurling Swastikian flags or bladed Iron Crosses.
Delicate, stained glass church windows are smashed out during drunken antisemetic protests - and endless squadrons of squat, pear-shaped children in silhouette are seen goosestepping in grids for miles across the globe, arms outstretched toward the sky as they Heil Hitler over and over. Today Germany - tomorrow the world!
This one is definitely chilling.
RUSSIAN RHAPSODY

This cartoon by Bob Clampett, Russian Rhapsody was a Merrie Melodies cartoon released to theaters on May 20, 1944.
Too many German Bombers are failing to make it to Moscow in World War II, so Adolf Hitler decides he will personally fly the bomber to smash the Russians. However, he reckons without the Gremlins from the Kremlin
Though he was caricatured or parodied in several Warner Brothers cartoons, this is one of only two cartoons (the other being The Ducktators) in which Hitler is actually the lead character.
Many of the Gremlins are parodies of the Warner Brothers cartoon staff. The style of caricature is reminiscent of a 1936 Christmas Card from the staff, as drawn by T. Hee. Among the recognizable gremlins are Chuck Jones, Robert Clampett, Friz Freleng, Leon Schlesinger, and Mel Blanc.
The original title of this cartoon was Gremlins from the Kremlin. It was changed when Disney began making its own wartime short about Gremlins, and asked other studios to not produce films about them. As this and Falling Hare were in production already, producer Leon Schlesinger compromised by changing the cartoon's name.

Directed by Bob Clampett, Animated by Rod Scribner, Story by Lou Lilly, Music by Carl Stalling, and Voices by Mel Blanc.

A COY DECOY

This is a famous Robert Clampett cartoon featuring Daffy Duck and even Porky pig. Circa 1941. Banned for one slightly racist depiction where Daffy cracks a rather racist gag involving 'Black Beauty' at the beginning, but since he's black himself he can probably get away with it.
The whole story takes place in a bookstore, where the characters of the books come to life every evening. So we have, among others, the Ugly Duck (Daffy) and the wolf of Wallstreet. They wind up in a chase after the wolf tricked Daffy with a phony duck (hence the title).
Every cartoon had to have a song in these days, so we start off with a medley by ‘The Westerner' Porky and ‘Ugly Duckling' Daffy. Porky is really only there at the beginning because they needed somebody to set up the punchline at the end. The rest of the movie belongs to Daffy as he moves from book to book.
The main characters don't really have to act, just be themselves: Daffy has to be crazy, the Wolf has to be hungry and Porky, well he never had much reason to be anywhere anyway. In the end 'A Coy Decoy' does not amount to much more than a song, a chase sequence, lots of puns and of course a reference to the war.
