I was telling my wife about the Gummi Bears* the other day because she never watched it as a kid, and it gave me the urge to track it down again. For some reason, I never picked these up on DVD, but I think I might have to now.
For your viewing pleasure, here is the first episode of the Gummi Bears: A New Beginning.
Before the days of DVDs, I had a couple VHS compilation tapes of skits from the Muppet Show, and this was always one of my favorite songs. I thought of it the other day when I was chopping onions, and I had to look it up.
I think I’ve confessed my love of Disney’s Chip ‘n Dale shorts around here before, and thanks to DVDs like Classic Cartoon Favorites Vol. 4 – Starring Chip ‘n Dale and a few of the Disney Treasures sets, I’ve been able to collect most of the shorts I grew up watching.
The Lone Chipmunks is one I have not been able to find for a long time, and for some reason only recently thought to look up on YouTube. It was great seeing it again, but now I wish I had it in DVD quality at least. Unfortunately, the only DVD it’s been released on is a random Davy Crockett Two-Movie set. Now the question is whether it’s worth $15 to me to have this short. Hmm.
In case you’ve been overwhelmed with the holiday season like I have this year, here is a classic Christmas Disney short to get you in the mood. Well, for Christmas, that is.
It’s Pluto’s Christmas from 1952, and it stars Pluto and my favorite Chipmunks, Chip ‘n Dale. I have it on a Disney Treasures set, but I’m pretty sure that every DVD this has been on is now out of print. All the more reason for you to enjoy it here!
As always, you can read more about this classic Disney short over at DisneyShorts.org.
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.
You can read more about Soup’s On at DisneyShorts.org.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and I’ll see you on Monday. Try not to trample anyone to death on Black Friday.
