  • Adventures of Mowgli (Russian Jungle Book)
    May 1 2024

    Yep, we've still got more Jungle Book! But this particular version came out the same year as the original Disney movie... or at least the first part of it did. That's right, this is actually a series of shorts that can be viewed together for a movie experience, and in some cases is actually edited together that way. This is a wildly different take on the world and characters than what we're used to, but ultimately, is it any good? Listen to find out!

  • Shorts! Happy Harmonies: To Spring
    Apr 24 2024

    The Happy Harmonies series is an oft-forgotten series of shorts that largely serve as a vehicle for the increasingly racist depictions of former Looney Tunes star Bosko, and also a bunch of cartoons that ape the sensibilities of Disney's Silly Symphonies series. Which is to say, it's oft-forgotten because there is not much there of quality to remember. That said, the series did, through this cartoon, harbor the directorial beginnings of a man who would go on to immeasurably affect the animation industry, and thus, we turn our eyes upon To Spring, and ask: were William Hanna's talents obvious, even from the beginning? Listen to find out!

  • One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island
    Apr 17 2024

    (Spoiler Section Length - 22min 50sec)

    Mamoru Hosoda is back, and this time, like his previous Digimon films, he's working on a previously existing series, rather than his own original work. One Piece is a long-running series with many, many movies under its belt, both before and after this, and a legacy stretching over 25 years. Its creator is of course the inimitable Eiichiro Oda, whose sense of whimsy, adventure and iconic art style has won hearts and minds the world over. Hosoda, meanwhile, has also built a reputation upon strong storytelling and an immediately recognizable visual style. When two titans meet, what is the result, and ultimately, is it any good?
