Can't say I'm exactly nutty about the royals and would not want to be in King Charles' spats, but am positively thrilled and delighted that, a week from today, the KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival will be back at Foothill College's Room 5015 with a night of big screen fun: cheesy movies, cartoons, commercials, trailers, Scopitones and Soundies!

Where: Room 5015, Foothill College campus
12345 El Monte Road, Los Altos Hills (El Monte exit off 280)

It is a festival of the wildest and weirdest flotsam and jetsam from 20th century pop culture.
As far as the coronation goes, the gang here likes cartoons about coronations a lot more than actual coronations.
My regal cat and official mascot Raymond disapproves strongly of the following cartoons because King Looney XIV is a feline and, worse yet, horror of horrors, mice beat up cats!
These Terrytoons strike as a primitive precursor to Mighty Mouse (created a few years later), even though the rowdy rodents are more along the lines of "Mickey Rat."
Arguably, way Too Damn Lazy To Write A Blog's all-time favorite cartoon about kings is the wonderfully eccentric 1942 Columbia Color Rhapsody King Midas Junior. John Hubley and Paul Sommer co-directed offbeat, interesting and unusual cartoons for Screen Gems, at least before Hubley left with Dave Hilberman and Zack Schwartz and formed UPA.
We will no doubt have Incredibly Strange Cartoons, among many other things, in the KFJC Psychotronix Film Fest on May 6 - see you there!
