  • Was this the only cartoon made in 1959?

  • @Goddot This is a more reasonable complaint. : D

  • @BrainElixir I guess that's how childs sound on mediocre sound quality. XD

  • @Goddot Too bad, that's how kids sound in real life, yo. I mean, unless they a child actor I guess.

  • @halfvader Yes, but UPA's animation was so stylized that it kept degrading year after year because there weren't less stylized works for people to relax and new staff to cut their teeth on. They encouraged filmmakers to regress into graphic abstraction when there were still improvements to be made on more literal styles. Their films regressed from stylistic representations to flat angles to excuse poor knowledge of draftsmanship with graphic zing. Just look at Gerald McBoing Boing on Planet Moo.

  • John Hubley is the father of Georgia Hubley from Yo La Tengo.

    -The More You Know-

  • @WillScarlet16 So true!!

  • @Ivanatis Even if you didn't like it/it's not your cup of tea, your ignorance is amazing. UPA kicked us out of the dead-end 'centreline' Disney style and brought the non-literal cubist and modern art world to animation. Everything is relative. I love classic Disney, but if you knew anything about animation you would see that animation took a huge step backwards from the amazingly sophisticated films of Windsor McCay in the teens. Going back to rubber-hose from there is outrageous, but happened.
