Monster of the Day #1184

Still the best place to commune with spirits.

  • Beckoning Chasm

    One of the most amazing cartoons ever. Ever more so when you know that the entire thing was animated by one guy as a labor of love.

  • Assuming I know what I’m talking about (which is always a dangerous assumption): Betty Boop cartoons are insane. But boy, did some of them have great music.

  • Flangepart

    Did they use Cab Calloway on this one? The image hits that part of me memory banks.

  • Beckoning Chasm

    Yes, it was “St. James Infirmary Blues.”

  • Eric Hinkle

    Looks like one of the old classics, but for the life of me I can’t think of the title! Any help, please?

  • Beckoning Chasm

    “Snow White” You could probably do a week’s worth of creatures from this cartoon alone.

  • Eric Hinkle

    Thanks. I’ll have to see if it’s on YouTube.

  • Flangepart

    A-HAH! Me thinks the Kenster is up to toon’s this week.

  • Petoht

    Not to be confused with the Squirrel Nut Zippers song which has a video I this style. Ghost of Steven Foster, I believe.

  • The Rev.

    Man, I really liked SNZ back in college, and have “Hot” around here somewhere. Dunno why I stopped with that one album. Thanks for pointing that song and video out to me (which was the correct one re: the style of the video); both are great. I should pick up that album and start checking out their others.
