Owl Creek DVD -SUPER FAT

Now available - An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, as a DVD download. One of the best ever Twilight Zone episodes -this Roger Enrico film won at Cannes, and to this day remains one of the greatest screen adaptations from a short story, in this case by Ambrose Bierce.

This DVD is encoded at Full D-1… so it really looks terrific. And don’t forget to play the “synchronicity” game…. play a carefully selected CD, dropping the laser at the title screen. For me… the original Blind Faith album works the best. (Blind Faith’s only album by the way).
So when you get bored with the Wizard of Oz with Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon… you’ll have something to do.

Tom & Jerry - Scary Stuff!

Check out this bizarre Tom and Jerry cartoon, His Mouse Friday - it is really unbelievable. Headhunters, cannibals, Daniel DeFoe’s Robinson Crusoe, racial stereotyping and animation expertise… all rolled into one. You see, long ago… this cartoon was buried in hopes it would never see the light of day. But here it is….YIKES… is that Jerry in blackface? Oh my!

Popeye -Little Swee’Pea

The LikeTelevision Toonfest continues - today we offer a primo Popeye cartoon called Little Swee’Pea. Popeye & Swee’Pea take in the sights and sounds of the zoo… great fun… till Swee’Pea wanders off into the animal cages. Olive isn’t very happy either.

Toonfest - Three Stooges

The LikeTelevision Toonfest continues - today we offer a 1960s Three Stooges toon that features the actual three stooges (Moe, Larry and Curly Joe… not Curly Howard) introducing the toon.

Dinky Duck - Bizarre Cult Classic

So why is Dinky Duck - Orphan Duck a favorite of cartoon zealots? Well…. I think it is the scene where the Rooster is chiding the hen for having a Dinky Duck baby…. and not a chick that looks like the father, Mr. Rooster. It is very bizarre…. lots of poultry paternal disputes - was there a foxy duck in the hen house? Learn more about this classic.

The LikeTelevision Toonfest continues tomorrow - with a so bad it’s good three stooges cartoon… with real stooges!

New Classic Popeye

Here iit is - hot off the digital press… from 1942 - one of the best toons ever made… It’s Popeye in Me Musical Nephews. Learn the nephews names - and check out this vintage B&W Popeye toon. Later this week… we got more Fleischer Brothers / Popeye classics - with Swee’ Pea.

Also coming later this week - a killer Tom & Jerry toon called My Man Friday. It is way outta control!

Happy BDAY Clayton Moore

On September 14, 1914 - Clayton Moore, a.k.a. The Lone Ranger was born in Chicago, IL. Check him out as the masked man - or as a bad guy in Radar Men from the Moon.

And on September 15, 1940 - The British proved victorious in a massive air battle - where the Brits shot down over 180 planes. Learn more - the historic day was called The Battle of Britain.

Gabby Goes Fishin’

The onslaught of new animation continues - today’s feature is: Gabby Goes Fishin’. Of course you know that Gabby is the knucklehead from Lilliput - and was introduced in Gulliver’s Travels - which you can view on LikeTelevision’s movie channel.

In this cartoon, Gabby claims to know a thing or two about fishing and tries to pass on his expertise (or lack thereof) to a young boy.

Freddy The Freshman

Here it is… one of the greats - Freddy the Freshman has one of the best musical tracks, dancing cows, great performances all around. Check out this preview for the latest toonfest, see what I mean?Learn more.
