Watch This: Adventures in Dinosaur City

Posted 11 years ago by Movies

Some kind person with far too much time on their hands has uploaded the entire 90s masterpiece that is Adventures in Dinosaur City onto YouTube. If you don’t remember, Adventures in Dinosaur City (or, that one movie where the kids get sucked into the TV and go to dinosaur land) made my list of the worst dinosaur movies of the 90s.

Bummed you can’t find this movie on DVD? Fret no longer, because thanks to the internet you can watch the full movie in ten not-so-convenient clips.

Mickey’s Trailer holds a very special place in my childhood, and is without a doubt my favorite Disney short. I watched a ton of Disney shorts growing up, mostly thanks to my family’s RCA Selectavision player (article to come), a few VHS compilation tapes, and the Disney Channel.

One compilation that I watched quite a bit was called On Vacation with Mickey and Friends, which was six shorts put together with some new animation of Jiminy Cricket trying to track down Mickey and his pals. These compilations were done pretty well, and were a great introduction to these classic shorts.

Watch the short after the jump.

Watch This: Moving Day – 1936 Disney Short

Moving Day was a Disney short I watched constantly when I was little, and I make sure to pop it in every once in a while now. Everything from the visuals to the music and sound effects is super nostalgic for me. Goofy’s battle with the piano is classic, and Donald’s trouble with the plunger is great too.

You can read about this short on DisneyShorts.org or see it on Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Living Color.

Watch This: Hooked Bear – 1956 Disney Short

Posted 11 years ago by Animated Shorts

The 50’s saw the end of Disney’s theatrical animated shorts, but the decade still had some gems, and a lot of them are permanently ingrained in my nostalgia. I had a lot of Disney shorts on VHS, CED, and watched them on The Disney Channel growing up.

In some ways the 50’s shorts were something new. Television had entered the picture, and new characters were being introduced. Humphrey Bear and Ranger Woodlore were two characters introduced around then. Hooked Bear was a favorite of mine growing up, and I hadn’t had the chance to watch in in a long time until recently, when I realized I owned it on the Walt Disney Treasures – Disney Rarities set.

Random SMC Connection – Hooked Bear was on the Kids Pics Happy Hampster VHS tape I wrote about not too long ago.
