Cartoon of the Day: Der Fuehrer’s Face
Well Happy New Year! We start the year off with an Academy Award winning cartoon featuring Donald Duck from 1943. In fact, Der Fuehrer’s Face is Donald’s ONLY Oscar, to date. As funny as this short is, we should never forget the seriousness behind this and other War films… fighting the Nazi’s was serious business in the early forties, even if it could get a bit funny at times.
Cartoon of the Day: The Dot And The Line
Chuck Jones made a lot of memorable films. But the best may not have starred a Rabbit, a fleet-footed desert bird, or a martian, or even the Grinch… it may have only featured a couple simple geometric shapes. Released on the last day of 1965, The Dot And The Line won an Academy Award for best short film with it’s simple yet timeless story.
Cartoon of the Day: Bungled Bungalow
An early Mr. Magoo cartoon, Bungled Bungalow was only the third theatrical cartoon in the series. Produced at UPA, this short was directed by Pete Burness. Bungled Bungalow first came out fifty-two years ago today.
Cartoon of the Day: Rabbit Hood
The day before Christmas, and all through BCDB, not a creature was stirring because they were all watching Rabbit Hood. You wouldn’t think a whole lot of good cartoons were released on December 24th, but you would be wrong… Rabbit Hood is just one of them!
