When I Yawn, Bats Fly Out of My Mouth Too

When the Lady Porphyre cannot sleep, we all win. She decided to pull together a list of all the Oscar-winning animated shorts you can find online on YouTube, starting with "Flowers and Trees" from (1931-32, embedded below) all the way up to a couple that are nominated for this year.

See why insomnia is your friend?

Mickey Mouse vs. The Happy Island
Posted on 02.23.08 by Widge @ 8:07 pm

You can read more about it here at Cartoon Brew (one of the commenters even delivers some info on what's going on and translations and such), but it's a Japanese cartoon from 1934 that takes place two years in the future where a bunch of happy-go-lucky critters on an island find themselves under assault by a legion of Mickey Mouse doombots riding evil bats, plus panzer divisions of giant snakes. Classic Japanese heroes come to the rescue.

No, really. Watch for yourself.

Spongebob Squarepants vs. AMC
Posted on 02.11.08 by Widge @ 10:14 am

Well, we mentioned the Annie Awards--apparently for the big night the cast of Spongebob did some dubbing work over some classic movies. The results are about as nuts as you would expect...

Update: Removed from YouTube, we got the headsup on another link. Thanks, Zondron.

A test song from the upcoming musical version of Sexual Perversity in Chicago, apparently. (Lies. It's from here.)

Make sure you watch the end credit animation.
