My Tex Avery collection updated...again.

[SuperFunk]

Just recently, I have made another modification to my Tex Avery cartoon collection. I have included the cartoon LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT FUN. I put it in the place where THE CAGEY CANARY was. I found MIDNIGHT FUN a pretty interesting cartoon and I thought that short should have been on my Tex Avery collection. So I decided to insert that cartoon on my collection. I still have my print of CAGEY CANARY. I just put it on another tape. I'm going to include CAGEY CANARY on my Bob Clampett collection -- which I probably won't be starting on for a couple years or more -- since I noticed that that cartoon was begun by Avery's supervision and the rest of the half was completed by Clampett. But MIDNIGHT FUN was interesting to me and I recorded it over CAGEY CANARY.

I had promised that I wasn't going to update my Tex Avery cartoon collection ever again. I just didn't want to copy it on another longer cassette (Which I did last year). All I did was record a cartoon that I found appealing over another cartoon which I had earlier. Now, I have two travelogue cartoons on my collection. The other one was CRAZY CRUISE. Another film that was started by Avery's direction and finished by Clampett's. But I'm leaving that one just the way it is. Now, I'm quite satisfied with my Tex Avery cartoon collection.

This reply post has really nothing to do with Tex Avery toons...well sort of but then not.
he...I just went through my stuff and found a diary I started on when I was 13 (and a half) where i used to write about all the stuff that was "in" in my life. I used to be a really big Disney fan and watched them religiuosly. I never liked WB's cartoons except for Batman Superman ect.
anyways...I was reading my childish scriblings and on one page I wrote something like this: " The new disney movie is gonna rock! of course I'm gonna watch it! what do you think I am? Tex Avery fan??? phff!"
I read it yesterday and I simply could not remember who or what Tex Avery was!!! I knew 7 years ago and it was a great joke to me, so I was utterly confused, thinking " what was I thinking back then!!?"
Well, i just found out who Tex Avery was thanks to this post :D

umm..this was really offtopic. I'm sorry but I had to post it!

Which Disney movie was this? If it was seven years ago, I'm guessing it was "The Lion King." Whatever it was, I'm curious. I enjoyed all of the Disney features of the 90s, only finding "Pocahontas" lacking a bit.

When I was 13 and-a-half, I believe I was into the whole He-Man craze. I collected every action figure I could, including the Snake Mountain playset.

I remember watching TLK on my 20th birthday and actually getting a little misty during the sad bits...and it takes a lot to get me misty, bub.
I saw Pocahantas a year or two later. I liked it...but my youngest brother freaked. Grandmother Willow scared the [expletive deleted] out of himhttp://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/shocked/tdo12.gif."It's a talking tree--and it sounds like a grandma!" As I said to my other brother, "It's an A-minus effort. I'd have given it a full A if they'd have had some historical text at the end of it to explain what happened after Smith returned to England."
"You mean like they do on western movies?" he asked, and agreed.

BTW, after all this hooplah about "Frigid Hare" and The Censored 12, CN showed some cojones showing "Midnight Fun". Fav bit: the Eskimo girl puts lipstick on her nose. http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/contrib/fk/kissy.gif

I think it was Pocahontas I was looking forward to since TLK was a blast! I found Pocahontas ok, but the animation sloppy.
Since I live in Denmark we get the movie a year after you guys in the US, but I have always tried to get the original imported from England...all though the Danish dub aint bad...

Actually, the song from the Junglebook"I wanna be like you" in Danish was rated better than the original in English...so they say...but hey, THAT was way before my time!
