Buy One, Get One Free: Also reminds me of R&S, naturally because it used some of that show's former crew. No surprise, since Eddie Fitzgerald directed it.
Tales of Worm Paranoia: Kinda reminds me of Ren & Stimpy. Help!: Probably my favorite WAC short, gorgeously animated by Bruno Bozzetto and his team, and with some memorable set pieces and a scene-specific soundtrack. Malcolm & Melvin, Babe, He Calls Me: These two Ralph Bakshi shorts are just plain fun to look at. What more needs to be said? "Hi, uh, I'm a dog, in case you're. Larry and Steve: Prototype Family Guy, mixed with goofy cartoony humor. Strange Things: Mainly for being the only CGI short, thus standing out a lot. Fat Cats in Dry Dry Drips: It's StarToons. There are some creative gags in these cartoons, too. Sledgehammer O'Possum: "What's Going on Back There?" and "Out and About", two wacky throwbacks to the fast-paced surreal humor that Tex Avery excelled at.
I mentioned this before, but my favorites: I should consider a rewatch of the What A Cartoon! shorts, especially now that I'm old enough to appreciate certain nuances I likely missed as a child. And yes, Larry And Steve got a huge chuckle out of me. Gramps because I enjoy elaborate and exaggerated tall tales told by others. Same reason for the Courage the Cowardly Dog short. Podunk Possum: One Step Beyond because I like the spooky, almost macabre tone of it. Mina and the Count because I adore the visual style and it's super cute. I'm not sure I would love Yoink! of the Yukon if I watched it now, but I liked it a lot as a kid because Yoink's design really fascinated me.
LOVED the Pfish and Chip shorts because Little Me loved stupid bomb jokes, especially the one near the end of the first short ("Fat Bomb!' "Ugly Bomb!") Fat Cats: Drip Dry Drips is just mad hilarious as it's one massive failure after another and the sheer frustration on the little guy is hilarious. Fly: Rat in a Hot Tin Can because I felt sorry for the poor rat. I remember enjoying Shake & Flick: Raw Deal in Rome just because it was a cat and mouse (er, well, dog and flea) spending ten minutes one-upping each other and increasingly getting bigger and bigger (that I remember.) I think I only liked O. Oh, also "Big Sister" I love purely because of Dexter's robot and that fancy suit he wears to pilot it. They're both frantic and intense, keeping me on the edge of my toes. Bubbles' fight scene with Fuzzy Lumpkins is still inspired as is the last act of "Changes" when Dexter and DeeDee goes crazy with the remote control. I remember these quite vividly and I'm pleased that they age really well and are still a joy to watch. Let's see, I love both Powerful Girls and Dexter's Laboratory shorts. I'm frankly surprised I remember as much as I do. I literally have not watched most of these since they first aired waaaay back, so a lot of these will be off the top of my head. Favorites? Least favorites? Some of which should have never been made? Remember not to simply post lists, but let's try to encourage some good discussion. So, I figure we could talk about these shorts a bit. "Help!" in particular is one of the most gorgeously animated cartoons I've seen to date, but I'll get to detail when I review it on my blog (shameless plug). Ratz", "Awfully Lucky", and several others I think are great. I don't think I can name one favorite, but if pressed I could narrow a list to "Help!", "The Fat Cats", "O.
#Yoink of the yukon full#
Then again, I also wonder if some of these shorts would have had material for a full series, as good as the pilots were.
Some of these shorts aren't as good as I remembered them, but others are still great cartoons, and I'm still disappointed some of these didn't become full series. So I've recently started to rewatch these shorts, and as someone who grew up during the 90s watching Cartoon Network, these rewatches really brought back several childhood memories.
