Comic History Lesson - Disney Cartoons

Today I put the TV onto Disney Channel (Sky TV) for my two young girls and the show that came on was Mickey Mouse Playhouse...like a train wreck, I sat and watch some with the girls and after a few minutes was close to throwing a 9 Iron through the screen...what a load of crap! In seeing other cartoons on the same and relative channels (Cartoon Network, Playhouse and Nickelodeon) the rubbish they are throwing up to my kids is nothing short of, well, I cannot put it into words. When did all this "learning", "morals", "niceties" come into it? Not to mention, P bloody C????

So, in this instalment of what is all and good and downright funny, I am taking a swipe at those in charge of the Disney I once knew (and I am certain this will ring with a few of you out there) and remind you why you are as big as you are...because you taught us life as it was, and made us laugh (as well as threw in a couple of hotties like Britney and Christina!). Remember when Disney used to be on a Sunday night for an hour, as well as the after school? That show launched great stars like Kurt Russell, and movies like 101 Dalmatians and One of our Dinosaurs is Missing.


Peanuts were never enjoyed as much
than by kids who wanted to be
Supergoof!!!


So, without further ado, here are some CLASSIC Disney cartoons that sum up what they should be...and while Mickey himself still sounds and acts as bent as Graham Norton (poor Minnie), at least he came across almost ambiguous...enjoy...

Goofy - Motor Mania - whoever saw this one will never forget it. Classic real life situation with comic results. this was made in 1950, when political correctness was as much a word as liquefaction

Goofy - How to Fish - from 1942. Another in the "How To" cartoons, and Goofy was well, goofy!

Donald Duck - A Good Time with a Dime - every one's favourite temper tantrum, Donald was the ultimate schizo...now why is it when he is clothed he has no pants, but when he comes out of the shower he feels he needs to put a towel around him??

Donald Duck - Snowball War - at his angry best, including his nephews. Please excuse the captions. Another WWII classic from 1942.
