Happy Holidays! 400th post!

I can't believe this is my 400th post! In celebration of this, I decided to pull a post I made on my first blog (before this one) about my love of holiday cartoons. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

I'm a cartoon-aholic. I have hundreds and hundreds on tapes, DVDs, and in special collections. But I'm not as interested in most new animated films and shorts - I don't like the pacing, the illustration style, or the voice-acting. As soon as they got famous celebrities to voice-act, everything changed... I'm of the classic, old-school variety who savors the fantastical and whimsical hand-drawn cartoons of the 1920s-1950s. My favorite Disney film is Dumbo and I grew up on Popeye, Betty Boop, and Felix the Cat. There were some pretty amazing cartoons in the early days. Like this triumph by Walt Disney long before the full-length films:
