Comic-Con
Hep Cat Symphony
I really like this cartoon. Along with the usual fantastic work by Marty Taras and Morey Reden, this one shows that the Famous crew could have as much fun with classical music as the West Coast could. (They also did a Popeye short, “Symphony in Spinach” the same year.)
New Camera
Abou Ben Boogie
I was talking with Larry tonight, and we both agreed that “Abou Ben Boogie” alone would’ve been worth the $35 (actually much more), seeing as though it’s impossible to find. (Larry was only able to locate, not obtain, a 35mm in Denmark of all places).
Here are a few clips from that sloppy Shameless Culhane!!!
Woody Review
I’ve written a review of the new DVD set due out on July 24th. You can read it here.
Woody Woodpecker is in!
The new Woody Woodpecker set (due out July 24t) is in my disgusting grubby little hands. And it’s great!
I’ve noticed some DVNR, but it’s not really noticeable, and I am not going to be an asshole and raise a big stink about it. This collection was something I really never thought would happen. I’ll have a formal review up later this week but just take a gander at these framegrabs.
