Topic: The Classic Animation Thread
After the 2015 BiM Awards were over and the after-partydispersed, I returned to IRC and a few of us were discussing classic animation. I'm all psyched up about the topic so I wanted to start a whole thread for the topic.
RULES:
1) No discussion of CGI movies, shorts, or series, unless the CGI ws used in a way that enhances traditional animation (like Anastasia, Iron Giant, Beauty & the Beast... mostly done in the 1990s).
2) Discussion is for any cartoon, but especially series p to the Millennium (breakoff point is around the era of the original Powerpuff Girls series).
3) Many old cartoons featured racial stereotypes and similar topics of a sensitive nature. To maintain the family-friendly approach of this forum, it is courteous to put it in a spoiler and alert the reason above it.
I wanted to begin with something I figured out myself and mentioned on IRC: The third Looney Tunes "clips" movie was 1001 Rabbit Tales. What I found noteworthy about it is that during the years of the original WB animation studios (1929-1969), there were exactly 1001 Warner Bros cartoons produced, excluding Private Snafu and others made specifically for soldiers.
I love classic animation and want to hear anything you have to say about them!
