If anyone remembers the Jackson Five cartoon show from the 1970's, Halas & Batchelor produced it.

@icepic21 Or being a slave to the office, slouched over your desk until you're 75, soon after killed by years of breathing in the smog in your city with your constricted lungs. Ahhhh, America.

@icepic21 I thought it was just don't worry about how horrific that whole WW2 deal is, I suppose it depends on interpretations and she did seem overly obedient though.

Looking at old animations like this really shows how much styles have changed and how much animations have improved....I mean in 60 years people have gone from this...which is quite cute I guess to things like Avatar where the animation looks pretty much life like...
