WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE CLASSIC DISNEY SHORT CARTOONS?

[gothdolly]

@ilovemesomevincentprice , thought of you 😊

[bwaldorf]

1/7/11/26 for the films ask 🥰🥰

thank you!!! 🥰

1. what is your favorite film of all time?

omgggg you can't do this to me! i can't even pick a top four of all time for letterboxd so i'm always cycling through those 😭 i do kinda use my 'likes' section on letterboxd as a place to collect all of my more #Favorite movies so anything from there! but i will say the newest contender to enter this list has been godzilla minus one (2023)

7. name a movie you're emotionally attached to

answered here! but i'll name another bc there's so many: the sound of music (1965) -- it's a hugely nostalgic movie for me and reminds me of my mom a lot 💗 but i also think its objectively really great too!

11. a genre you just can't stand

answered here! the one i listed there is probably bc my biggest one, but there are def other genres and subgenres i sorta steer away from as well. like some of the more intense horror subgenres though i can perhaps be convinced in some cases, depending on who's rec'ing it to me and whether the story/experience is good enough to be worth it

26. which movie made you think the most about life?

oof... that's a really good question, albeit a loaded one 😭 i feel like there's probably a lot of them that do. in different ways and about different aspects of life (both mine specifically and in general). and i think certain movies probably impacted me more bc it was there at a specific time in my life and made me think about very time-specific things so likeeee here's the most random, not-so-deep list of Some random movies that did smth along those lines, in some way:

ferris bueller's day off (1986)

the heiress (1949)

3 idiots (2009)

parasite (2019)

a monster calls (2016)

fire of love (2022)

the sound of music (1965)

sound of metal (2019)

won't you be my neighbor? (2018)

howl's moving castle (2004)

an extremely goofy movie (2000)

the muppets christmas carol (1992)

mary poppins (1964)

godzilla (1954)

brief encounter (1945)

saltburn (2023) ... in the sense that i was left thinking wtf am i doing with my life wasting time with this movie!!! KJNGKJNGJK

movie ask game questions! 🍿

1940s - Fantasia (1940)

1950s - Alice in Wonderland (1951)

2000s - The Emperor’s New Groove (2000)

2010s - Tangled (2010)

2020-2022 - Encanto (2021)

Overall Winner: Mulan (1998)

The NEW 2020s poll, with the winners from 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 as the contenders, will start January 1, 2024.

If the overall 2020s movie winner changes, I will then hold a new decades poll on January 8, 2024.

The 2020s poll from 2024 and onward (lol) will just have the top movie from each year go against the new ones. If we run out of slots available for all the new movies with the previous winners, I will hold a poll with just the new movies, get a winner, and then run it against the old year winners of the 2020s.

If I remember to run this tournament into the 2030s, I will do an Over the Centuries poll comparing the favorite of one century of Disney animation to another :).

My main blog is @deathsmallcaps and my art blog is @patheticbatman if curiosity strikes you.

I’m pretty sure there is another poll going on like this, I’m just running this one for my own amusement, and because I like to think about these in terms of decades.

A Christmas Carol Holiday Season: "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" (1962 animated musical)

Now we reach a pop culture landmark: the first animated Christmas special ever produced for American television. Before A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, or any other similar classics, there was this 1962 cartoon musical from the UPA animation studio, starring their most famous cartoon character, Quincy Magoo. A character rarely seen on TV today, because the comic mishaps caused by his weak eyesight aren't politically correct by modern standards. But this special, with songs by legendary Broadway composer Jule Styne (Gypsy, Funny Girl, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and more) and lyricist Bob Merrill (Funny Girl), has never lost its popularity.

The framing device of this Christmas Carol is that Mr. Magoo is starring as Scrooge in a Broadway musical of Dickens' tale. While the opening scene of Magoo's arrival at the theatre and the final scene of the curtain calls feature the standard Magoo slapstick, the Christmas Carol itself is played surprisingly straight, with only a few small gags hinting that Scrooge needs glasses. For the most part, it's a faithful, if abridged version of the story. There are only two really notable changes: (a) the character of Fred is cut, and (b) the order of the first two ghosts' visits is reversed, so that the Ghost of Christmas Present (voice of Les Tremayne) comes first, and then the Ghost of Christmas Past (portrayed as an androgynous golden-colored child, voiced by Joan Gardener). I can only assume the latter change was made because the Christmas Past sequence is more emotional for Scrooge than Christmas Present, so they were re-ordered to create a "rising line of tension," so to speak.

The result is a Carol that's both funny and emotionally effective, which both children and adults can enjoy. Especially worth appreciating is its poignant emphasis on Scrooge's lonely childhood, since so many other versions downplay or cut that plot point. UPA's impressionistic style of animation, simple yet colorful and vivid, suits the tone of the production well, and the voice cast is first-rate too. Jim Backus, Magoo's iconic voice actor since 1949 (also known as Thurston Howell III on Gilligan's Island and James Dean's father in Rebel Without a Cause), is a vivid, engaging Scrooge throughout every stage of his character development. Meanwhile, standouts in the supporting cast include Jack Cassidy as a warm, rich-voiced Bob Cratchit, Royal Dano as an imposing Marley's Ghost, Jane Kean as a touching Belle, and Joan Gardener doubling as an ethereal yet wry Ghost of Christmas Past and an adorable Tiny Tim (who looks like another popular UPA character, Gerald McBoing-Boing). Last but not least, Styne and Merrill's songs – "It's Great to Be Back on Broadway," "Ringle, Ringle," "The Lord's Bright Blessing" (a.k.a. the "razzleberry dressing" song), "Alone in the World," "Winter Was Warm" and "We're Despicable" – are all memorable and strike an excellent balance between childlike simplicity and Broadway quality.

The first-ever Christmas cartoon special is still one of greatest.
