« New Deal: Yea or Nay | Main | At least it's not "drilling down" » Friday, February 9, 2007Cartoon greatnessFrom City Rags, a New York-based blog, a little Friday afternoon fun -- or Saturday morning, in the grand childhood tradition since at least my pre-teen days. The blogger has dug up a 1994 list of the 50 Greatest Cartoons, as determined by the animation industry itself. They date back to 1914, and in fact nearly all of them were made before 1960, so think again if you thought your childhood burned through the entire genre. What City Rags deserves congratulations for is that he has found online video for 49 out of the 50 cartoons. Some of the links are now inoperative because the lawyers have gone after YouTube, but there is still enough to keep you occupied and steeped in nostalgia for some time.
