Ok, so this one doesn’t specifically say it’s Thanksgiving, but I think it’s pretty obvious. Enjoy the 1948 Donald Duck short Soup’s On, if you haven’t eaten yourself into a Turkey coma already.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and I’ll see you on Monday. Try not to trample anyone to death on Black Friday.

Posted 11 years ago by Animated Shorts

In this edition of Watch This!, I bring you a classic 1934 Popeye short: We Aim to Please. This short depicts Popeye and Olive Oyl as restauranteurs during the Great Depression, so you can be sure a lot of hysteria and fistfights ensue. Also, you can count on Wimpy trying to score some free hamburgers.

This short is availalbe on the awesome Popeye the Sailor: 1933-1938 Vol. 1 DVD set.

Watch This: Three for Breakfast – 1948

Posted 11 years ago by Animated Shorts

Some of my favorite classic Disney shorts are the few that feature Chip n’ Dale. Usually they pit the tiny critters against Donald Duck, who has always been my favorite Disney character. There is just something about those shorts that perfectly defines nostalgia for me, and Three for Breakfast is a great example.

You can read more about this short on DisneyShorts.org or you can find it on the Classic Cartoon Favorites: Vol. 4 – Starring Chip ‘n Dale DVD, which is a great set.

Watch This: Disney’s The Mad Doctor – 1933

Posted 11 years ago by Animated Shorts

Since tomorrow’s Halloween and I’m dressing up as a Mad Scientist, I thought it would be appropriate for us all to watch The Mad Doctor from January 21st, 1933. This isn’t exactly the version of a Mad Scientist I’m using for my Halloween costume (as you can see below), but this is cool because this character is going to be in the Epic Mickey game.
