Street of Crocodiles (1986)

The Brothers Quay

Most people would be freaked out to see puppets in a dark environment like this. I am not most people.

[reanimatedhistory]

Hedgehog in the Fog (1975)

Yuriy Norshteyn

A hedgehog chases after a white horse and discovers Silent Hill.

The Mind’s Eye (1990)

Odyssey Productions

Surrealism enters the 90s.

The Curious Adventures of Mr. Wonderbird (1952)

Grimault

The moral of this story is hunting birds will lead to your death when their mates come back for revenge.

[reanimatedhistory]

Abandoned Little Cat Tora (1947)

The kitties are so cute!

[reanimatedhistory]

Paddington (1975)

FilmFair/Bond

I had never really heard of Paddington until the live action movies came out and even then I didn’t know that much. I find the style on this one to be far more interesting and charming than the movies, in my opinion.

Gerald McBoing-Boing (1950)

UPA/ Robert Cannon

I won’t lie. This one hurt a little bit at the beginning. But I loved it through and through.

[reanimatedhistory]

The Old Mill (1937)

Disney/Wilfred Jackson

Such beauty...it makes my heart burst. <3

[reanimatedhistory]

Rabbit of Seville (1950)

WB/Chuck Jones

Even now I still remember watching this on Cartoon Network (before Boomerang). Still one of the best.

Next.

Bimbo’s Initiation (1931)

Fleischer

Betty Boop ending aside, I’m pretty sure even in the 1930s, this is grounds for kidnapping, extortion, gaslighting, and not giving a safe word for that kind of foreplay.

[reanimatedhistory]

Koko’s Earth Control (1927)

Dave Fleisher

Who knew that a clown and a dog would cause the end of days? And that it would look like that one Treehouse of Horror episode?

[reanimatedhistory]

Farmer Alfalfa Sees New York (1916)

Ecchi New

The moral is if you think you’re being cheated, cheat back! Also, this guy makes more cameos than Stan Lee!

[reanimatedhistory]

An Optical Poem (1938)

Oskar Fischinger

This is just beautiful to watch, especially with how he managed to time floating pieces of paper on string with music.

[reanimatedhistory]

Steamboat Willie (1928)

Walt Disney

The first cartoon with sound and one of the few first ones from Disney that were NOT remixed from Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

[reanimatedhistory]

Gertie the Dinosaur (1914)

Winsor McCay

The world’s first keyframe animation and it is no slouch for a start.
