It's a shame Betty Boop has fallen out of favor. The Cab Calloway shorts were pretty darn great.
Isaac Rivera
Any old cartoon where figures of speech and slang terms are displayed in a literal fashion.
Nicholas Morris
Any examples?
Julian Cox
Ethan Barnes
Damn, blocked in the US.
Luke Gomez
That's a tough one.
Jordan Murphy
I'm a bit of a pleb, these are the only two that immediately came to mind

"I Love to Singa is a Merrie Melodies animated cartoon directed by Tex Avery, produced by Leon Schlesinger, and released to theaters on July 18, 1936, by Warner Bros. and Vitaphone."
Robert Perez
Those are good choices. I love Bimbo.
I never get tired of watching The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, it's a perfect cartoon to me.
Xavier Cooper
"Funny Little Bunnies" from Disney, 1934. Lame title, great short.
Joshua Torres
>No mention of Dover Boys
Cooper Barnes
Well, yeah. We hate those Dover Boys. They drive us to drink!
Jack Cook
I know it's a meme answer around here but this is my pick. I legitimately love The Dover Boys.
Justin Edwards
Same here, it still cracks me up
Carson Richardson
>directed by Tex Avery
One of the first Merrie Melodies I remember seeing as a child.
James Myers
Very likely Have You Got Any Castles. The music's great as well as the general flow of the cartoon. youtube.com
I love Book Revue as well for pretty much the same reasons.
All's Fair at the Fair is pretty great as well, mostly because of all the cool "futuristic" stuff the animators came up with.
Joshua Powell
I used to love watching this every year when the Disney channel played it as part of their Disney's Holloween Treat special. I've only come to appreciate it more as an adult.
Cooper Sanchez
Andrew Powell
I love the Fleicher style, it'd be perfect if the animation had more in-betweens.
Alexander Price
Been looKing for years for some old cartoons I had on an old vhs tape back in the day. A blue train and a red train heading for a head on collision and just fucking whistling/screaming at eachother. The other was of these sweet 40s/50s cars in an emporium. Had really nice cel work to it.
Logan Walker
Was one of them this?
Grayson Ross
Nope. Thanks anyway.

This was always one of my favorites - "To Spring," 1936. It features elves pumping life and color back into spring while battling Old Man Winter. It's super-colorful and beautifully animated and the songs will be stuck in your head forever.
Joseph Hughes
Just did a quick Google search and they were both on one of these tapes
Adam Sanchez
Oh fuck I have some faint memories of this. I wonder where I saw it.

Good God, this one always fucking terrified me - it's called "Play Safe," also published in 1936. The backgrounds are creepy-cool to the point of looking uncanny, and that's what makes them so cool. Pic related still gives me willies!
Jaxon Martin
Fleischer Superman cartoons. Those were some good shit.
Luke Smith
>that time when Bimbo was trapped underground by Mickey Mouse and got tortured by a cult until he decides to join said cult when he found out all the members were all Betty Boob clones

I randomly skipped to 9:27 and burst out laughing. Popeye's slapstick is top tier.

Funny thing, they didn't want to make them in the first place!

absolutely my favorite cartoon short.
Blake Jackson
Fleischer did a lot of overlay animation. The backgrounds were mostly dioramas and models. That train as it was going up the mountain pass? A physical model they modified.
Chase Reed
Wasn't this made to take the mickey out of an old fogey who couldn't stand modern entertainment?
Hudson Rogers
Russian Rhapsody
Noah Morales
Brandon Garcia
Speaking of which does anyone know of the Nazi short where they sang?
Thomas Garcia
Julian Evans
The one with Donald? "In Der Fuehrer's Face".
Connor Hughes
this

beautiful
every single frame
... what is it?
Xavier Collins
The Fleischer Superman cartoons. They are all on YouTube, and there is a pretty good KaptainKristian video about their history there too
Ian Murphy
thanks bro - i have google installed but forgot how to use it when i got blown away by this
Christopher Wood
I definitely suggest watching them all. They are some of the best Superhero and Superman animation there is. Top tier shit.
Evan Reyes
I still have this on vhs, used to love this as a kid.
Nicholas Gutierrez
Is it healthy for chickens to lay that many eggs?
Leo King

Jacob Garcia
It's a cartoon/the power of music/easter magic.

Brody Taylor
Hey Sup Forums, i remember not long ago seeing this one video clip of some music, the song itself was nothing special but the video clip was inspired by Bimbo's Initiation, i've beem trying to remember it ever since, anyone knows what I am talking about?
Lucas Adams
This is fucking FANTASTIC. I want more. Now.
Oliver Martinez
James Morris
The Adventures of Prince Achmed
Benjamin Rogers
"Toby Tortoise Returns". A sequel to Disney's version of "The Hare and The Tortoise".
Kevin Cruz
Private Snafu is my favorite educational cartoon.
Nathaniel White
Which of those are your favorites? "Booby Traps" is pretty popular but I think "Censorship" is great.
Joshua Hall
I remember watching this as a kid
