John Halas, Joy Batchelor - Animal Farm (1954) The first commercial, feature-length British animated movie starts a tradition which would last far into the future of really disturbing British animated films with horrible things happening to animals. Like a 1950s predecessor to Watership Down, this film is very much in that tradition with the added bonus of being really an anti-Stalin propaganda piece. The film was in fact funded by the CIA as a propaganda piece, but both in the case of the film and the book only a very superficial and uninformed reading can make you think that the story is actually anti-communist. It's actually pretty pro-communist, it's anti-authoritarian and anti-Stalinist for sure, but it's not like the condition of the animals before they took over was sustainable, there was indeed a need for a revolution. The problem is not in the animals taking over the means of production, the problem is with authoritarian figures, the pig Napoleon in this case appropriating the production for his own ends, perverting what was really a better situation than being exploited by the human, under the good pig Snowball. In fact at the end Napoleon ends up resembling humans. Orwell fought for the anarchists in Spain during the Civil War, after all. However, if you don't get the references of the old dying pig as Lenin/Marx, Snowball as Trotsky, Napoleon as Stalin and the human farm owner as the Tsar, as I am sure must have been lost on much of the viewers, it can come off simplistically as an anti-communist film, while it is actually pro-communist and anti-authoritarian. The animation is pretty Dinseyesque, even if not as polished, the voice acting is excellent with just one guy, Maurice Denham, making all the voices and it's full of upsetting scenes of violence and injustice. Great!

Taka is the name of Tonto’s eagle in the 1966 Lone Ranger cartoon series from Format Films made for CBS. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lone_Ranger_(1966_TV_series)) . . I was watching “Curse of the Devil Doll” on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kCKp1X_fXk) the 2nd segment of the 20th episode. Most or all of the episodes in this series fall into the #WeirdWest and/or #Horror category. . . What I find extra interesting about this episode is that the Lone Ranger doesn’t show up so it is up to Tonto and Taka to sort the situation and bring the bad guy to justice. . . If you go searching for Tonto’s bird on Google, you end up with a ton of articles asking why Johnny Depp had a bird on his head. Which it seems like the better question is why Johnny Depp doesn’t always have a bird on his head. But not a ton of info about Taka until you rewatch the episode, careful to listen for the name Tonto calls his bird. Then you find out that Marx Toys made a toy of the eagle, the mold of which was also used by Mattel for their Big Jim series and later for the Masters of the Universe line. . . I had either the Taka or Big Jim eagle. And finding that help me identify some old toys I had as being part of the Marx Safari Adventure toy line. . . Also I found an article in the Village Voice from 1970 where apparently the eagle was a huge mistake and was blamed for the failure of the cartoon series. Which explains why Taka doesn’t show up in other Lone Ranger projects. I haven’t read the whole article yet, just some as I stitched it together in a more readable format for here. It sounds a lot like people having a discussion/arguing on Barney Miller. . #loneranger #theloneranger #lonerangercartoon #lonerangerandtonto #tonto #taka #tontoandtaka #tontosbird #tontoseagle #takatheeagle #marxtoys #mattel #matteltoys #motu #cartoons #cartooncharacters #tontocartoon #formatfilms #loneranger1966 #curseofthedevildoll #johnhalas #joybatchelor #halasandbatchelor #cbs #cbscartoons #fredsilverman #allnewloneranger #scoobydoo #bigjim (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNj8gkBF7X/?igshid=1b9s4dby05kd
