It is our pleasure at Way Too Damn Lazy To Write A Blog to celebrate both our 20th anniversaryof blogging AND National Silent Movie Day with a bunch of classic cartoons. Leading off: Walter Lantz!
Batting second: a mosquito. Now it's INSECT TIME, courtesy of Winsor McCay.
In The Roaring 20's, suave and debonair Felix The Cat is the predecessor of The International!
Here, Felix the Cat tangles with a germ - not The Germs, a germ!
And. . . speaking of silent era cartoons, some of the best of the best were produced by the Fleischer Studio. . . YouTube playlists for both the Out Of The Inkwell series and the subsequent Inkwell Imps are not to be missed.
Craig Davison's YouTube channel contains a motherlode of silent era cartoons! KO-KO'S BIG SALE must be seen to be believed.
Who's our favorite stop-motion animator from silents? That would be the great Ladislaw Starewicz. Love his film The Voice Of The Nightingale!
How can the stop-motion genius of Ladislaw Starewicz be equalled? With the stop-motion genius of Charley Bowers!
Big time thanks to Silentology and The Everyday Cinephile for hosting this blogathon!
