    This is a thread to talk about and discover old cartoons. These are theatrical cartoons from 192-something to 196-something. Discussion of TV animation of ANY sort is not a topic of interest here.

    Ah, you mean the golden age of overtly racist cartoons.

    For New Year's Eve, my library put this one up as the lead-in for "The Time Machine". It's "Let's Celebrake", one of the few Popeye cartoons that doesn't end with Popeye & Bluto beating each other up.

    Answers like this deserve no comment. I didn't try to start an argument.

    Here's another good Popeye cartoon. It's from the Famous Studios era, so Jack Mercer doesn't get the throw in those great ad-libs. It's "How Green Was My Spinach", when Bluto finally wises up on how to take down Popeye. Be advised: Dailymotion puts a couple of ads in the middle of this 7-minute cartoon.

    One of my favorite things about those old Popeye cartoons are the mumblings he says. They were mostly ad-libs and weren’t typically animated. Most of them will go over kids heads but are very funny when hearing them with older ears. They got rid of them in the later versions of Popeye. It’s something Robin Williams got exactly right with the feature film.

    Should the thread be titled "Old Theatrical Cartoons between the 1920s and 1960s" and maybe be tagged with AMPH?

    Also, how does one know if said old cartoon aired in the theaters? Also didn't theater cartoons eventually end up on television or no? And if not, how would one discover and discuss them today?

    Here's a list that might help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animated_short_film_series#1970s
    I did find one error: this seems to be a list of theatrically-released cartoons, but "The Mighty Heroes", which was a TV production, is also included. Also, the link title isn't accurate, since it lists series from the silent era well into the 2000s.

    So we can't discuss The Flintstones, the first animated series on prime-time television?

    This is true, it's impossible for me to hear the overture to Il barbiere di Siviglia without just thinking "How do! Welcome to my shop, let me cut your mop, let me shave your crop! ~Daintily~"

    Considerably more recently a podcast introduced me to the joys of peak UPA shorts. Rooty Toot Toot is basically a masterpiece:

    "Barber of Seville" has been used by Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, and Tex Avery. I'd say more people today are more familiar with the opera through them than by actually watching it performed.

    Pshh....shut up. It's not an argumentative post. Racist jokes were a HUGE part of theater-run cartoons especially during WW2. Here is "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs" for your consideration. Trigger warning: It's obnoxious and racist AF.



    I do think works like these are historically significant though and shouldn't just be swept under the rug because they make people uncomfortable.

    I never liked UPA. Too artsy.
