Hope & Crosby.<BR/>All had a lasting effect on me.<BR/><BR/>The degree of musical high-sophistication employed by Hollywood animators travelled very far away straight into the mind of this child of very UNsophistcated parents, and formed the basis of my cultural frame of reference.<BR/><BR/>Only very dim people would think that cartoons are rubbish.Ann O'Dynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01159263330547329077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9783312.post-16625579623468781442007-11-22T05:22:00.000Z2007-11-22T05:22:00.000Zgreetings from Victoria, Australia Prof. Hesselthwaite.<BR/>Thank you for that post and I intend to read it again.<BR/>After browsing allover LMWN? and noticing in the 'Books we are reading now' that James Ellroy is listed, I was inspired to comment that I have had supper with him and he was very agreeable to me.<BR/>This commends him, on account of me being Absolutely Nobody of Nowhere.<BR/>So I idly clicked on the animation post to leave my brag, only to find your immediate reference to the genius of George Herriman's Krazy Kat, Ignatz Mouse and Officer Pup. the existential toon.<BR/>which brings me to The RoadRunner and The Coyote: my daughter who spent 18 years loathing the name I gave her, did a complete 180 of attitude after HRH <B>Chuck Jones</B>complimented her on it while signing his book as she purchased it.<BR/><BR/>now back for a second helping of Randy Wolves ...Ann O'Dynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01159263330547329077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9783312.post-38278941286988415242007-03-05T15:31:00.000Z2007-03-05T15:31:00.000ZExcellent post. As an animation student, I enjoyed reading it quite a bit. Thanks!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Perhaps you should toss in a link to MGM's 1939 animation "Peace on Earth"?
