Both of those books have been added to my list. Plus, as I said, there is just a TON of great online information about this topic during this entire time period. I had not seen that Walter Lantz-Tex Avery cartoon you linked to in years. Again, so much of my youth was filled with these animated shorts in syndication, it's easy to see why they are of such interest to me.Nick Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604719128495370171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203248208360152904.post-34640574251267805012012-06-05T08:56:38.238-07:002012-06-05T08:56:38.238-07:00This might just be my favorite A Modernist post th...This might just be my favorite A Modernist post thus far, as I'm a HUGE animation fan and UPA is definitely one of the best studios that was around.<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago, I purchased the UPA DVD collection off the TCM website, but haven't delved into it quite yet. Over the holidays, I received the Woody Woodpecker set and I believe that set has one of my all-time favorite cartoons: Sh-h-h-h! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w0QoQX48kw<br /><br />Also, 2 books to explore: 'Cartoon Modern' and 'When McGoo Flew: The Rise and Fall of Animation Studio UPA' which was just released this year and I've yet to pick up.<br /><br />Really great work on this post and so many great names associated with this studio! Perfect mixes of sounds and visuals.<br /><br />Okay, one last thing to bring up: check out Norman McLaren and his mid-century Canadian animation pieces.<br /><br />(See, I'm not all just about parkas and 3-button suits!)Supermodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441428489565098268noreply@blogger.com
