I'm going to (try to) post a classic theatrical cartoon each day. Feel free to watch along, or just check in from time to time to catch up on several at once.
In honor of January 1st, I'll first focus on newcomers to the Public Domain.
Today's picture is the first cartoon to come out of the Terrytoons studio, Caviar (1930). If you enjoy rats acting Russian and getting into various winter hi-jinks, this might be the cartoon for you.

Bob Clampett Productions - It's a Grand Old Nag (1947)
The sole animated theatrical short produced by Republic Pictures. They were mostly known for B movies, so I guess they couldn't afford to keep an animation unit going beyond this one short. The sole theatrical production by Bob Clampett gone solo, before he turned his attention to television.

>>486779 Potayto, potahto. Whether it's one continuous story or a series of sequels and spin-offs, the original creatives are gone, and with them what made the original vision the original vision.
I'm enjoying Punch Punch Forever. It being a web animation with the concept as a faux-anime episodes are being fandubbed and put online, really late on getting into it turns out (though being an indie thing there's big stretches of times between new episodes).
>>486763 Nique is some short-haired man-hating lesbian now isn't she? (and in the process happens to look alot like the artist's self-insert character except she lacks glasses)
>>486534 >>486537 Like the other anon said, the problem is the lack of money. It's why Hanna-Barbera pioneered their "limited animation" techniques as well (the one where every character has a collar so they can animate only the head and keep the rest of the body the same): they had fuck all budget.
As for Invincible, they actually do have the budget, but they blew like 90% of it in celebrity voice actors and licensed music.
So new comicbook this year. it's about Hilda finding an asteroid, hijinks ensured. I haven't got the last year comic yet, but Hide from the Rain was peak. I fucking loved it and it was a palate cleanser after the shitfest that S3 was. Luke still got it. Anyways what do you think of the spinoff so far? >>486737 That's obviously from the Dark Knight
