Kells was visually lovely and certainly respectable but it lacked even a hint of a pulse.

i appreciate the slow unveil.

I'm glad because I am deeply ashamed about it! :(

maybe not "deeply"

it gives busy people the time to actually watch these things.

^^ so true

wish i had noticed/voted but greatly appreciate the youtube links to the few of these i don't know

Maybe this is a good time to mention: Ren & Stimpy animator/genius/cool dude John Kricfalusi was a guest on the Nerdist podcast on Friday -- all kinds of great stuff in here, including a killer story about an adventure he had with Bob Clampett. lots of stuff about the old school animators, the horrible 80's years, everything. http://www.nerdist.com/2012/08/nerdist-podcast-john-k/

What's up with this poll?

I suck is what's up! Having a job is confusing and takes a lot of time and energy, I'm not used to it. I'm gonna close this out though, I promise.

*Just* watched the Winnie the Pooh -- OH MY GOD. So brilliant, and also exquisitely (painfully) poignant towards the end.

thanks so much for tezuka's jump; I was just discussing it with a friend. so good.

btw, everyone should see Barta's "Toys in the Attic" when it's on video

man I need to get back on this. This isn't the first time I've fucked up at following through with a messageboard poll! I'm serious! Life has been a bit chaotic though. Sorry sports fans.

leee -- do you mean the russian one or the disney one?

Russian!

hell yeah, i love russian winnie

kinda bummed it didn't make the top 100, but happy it came close enough to be included in this thread by accident haha

I'm not just an overly sentimental sap when it comes to toons, am I? Winnie is srsly affecting, yeah?

nah, they're gorgeous cartoons. you don't even need the subtitles to enjoy them.

How's the job going? How are the results going? How's anything going?

a friend posted this on twitter recently...

Also recently found on a hidden web 1.0 page with several UK and European based shorts were in some sort of mid-60's competition.. Clips for Dirty Birdy and Wallace & Gromit were among the dozens of nominees. Years later, my friends found this with no context of what it could be about and we decided it was creepy as hell, and the 20-seconds of dialogue have stuck in my head ever since... "Come from there. Who's your parents? Don't know. Grew up in an orphanage." I just did 20-minutes of Google searching to determine the short is called "Ugly Head," and I've been wanting to view the entire thing since 11 years ago, just out of curiousity.

it’s with great honor that I report to you that an hour’s worth of rare silent-era animation from my collection will be airing on Turner Classic Movies, *tonight*, at 12am eastern/9pm pacific. For this very special and long overdue broadcast event, we’ve curated several rare, once-thought-lost, historically significant or just downright funny cartoons produced in New York City between 1907 and 1926. That’s not all, though--TCM host Robert Osborne, with Jerry Beck co-hosting, are also presenting both Fleischer features, a block of UPA cartoons, and The Adventures of Prince Achmed in addition to the early NYC shorts.

It’s not to be missed! I hope some or many of you can tune in or set your DVR in time. Important links pertaining to this event below...

Came back to check this out. I was introduced to so many great animations through these threads. Sad I didn't vote. Curious abt 76-1!

I suspect silby has removed bookmark on this thread :)

;_;

No reason he couldn't pass the numbers on to someone else to finish the results rollout.

The rollout reminds me of the heady days of ILC.

Does someone want to volunteer to complete the rollout? I seem to not be trustworthy.

Or alternately I can try to get this ship afloat again tonight. Shame-inspired mental blocks are a drag

Nah, I get it, dude. I don't feel like volunteering to take over the roll-out, so I won't contribute further to guilt. Any good Samaritans out there?

ok

TOO LOW

gr8 comeback

(the poll, not forks)

yay, it's back on!

Never actually seen "Little Red Hot Riding Hood" before, or at least not all the way through. Pretty good stuff! Takes a few minutes to really get rolling but some killer sight gags along the way - love the wolf's contraption for giving extra applause and table-pounding - and the climax at Grandma's is a real outpouring of technique and excitement (even if the content itself is kind of misogynistic and gross).

Yay!

you think that's exciting
