What are your favourite animations?

I know I will look like a right soppy eejit, but I have always really liked this:

Also, maybe this is what our bikes feel like when we upgrade/replace/abandon them. Also, there IS a bike in it at the end:

Any of the early Wyle .E. Coyote and Roadrunner Cartoons.

To me, Wyle .E. is the ultimate antihero, and can convey all of his feelings as expressions in a few split seconds, and with not a word spoken!

If you can do that without speaking, then, THEN you really CAN do animation, and I guess that that is why as a kid I always liked the likes of Pluto - it was all so devastatingly simple, and yet, it wasn't (Gromit is a modern version).

Words would have ruined it.

This clip shows that the beautifully insane (and downright psychopathic) landscape really was a third character in it, whilst his contraptions were just as much against him:

Frank Tashlin, who also made films in Hollywood and wrote children's books such as 'The Bear that Wasn't', created a series of cartoons with Fox and Crow as central characters. This is the first one, made in 1941, it's superb.

That was of course the ultimate "luck is never on his side" Thanks Doug, just spent five mins absolutely peeing myself laughing. Check his expression as he's trying to clamber back onto the rock after he pushed the other one aside. Priceless, no peer, just priceless.

Dammit. I've only ever seen that one twice before, and both times it seemed like years before I managed to shake the earworm.

That's going to be going round and round for aaages now.

Ironically, that clip might have been from one of the later versions - I prefer the earlier ones as the artwork was WAY better - you only have to look at the landscape in the backgrounds to see that!

Oddly enough, just about everything I have seen on Youtube so far seems to be the later version(s) when it all started to become much more stylised.

You know, I don't think I even remember seeing Bambi!

MDB, you clearly had loving, sensitive parents.

Either that or you are younger than you look....
