I’ll be posting batches of interesting cartoons over the next few days, grouped by theme. Except for this batch, where the theme is “randomness”:
-“The Great DeGaulle Stone Operation”: this 1965 cartoon was paired with “Thunderball” (the James Bond film) and eventually won an Oscar. It’s the first of many DePatie-Freleng productions featuring The Inspector (aka Inspector Closeau, voiced here by Pat Harrington, Jr. of “One Day at a Time” fame). This disappears from YouTube from time to time, but is worth searching out. The “laugh track” version must have been done solely for television, and somehow works better for me.
-Mr Bean, "Frog Spawn and Tadpoles": I had no idea that there were actually Mr. Bean cartoons made after the live-action Rowan Atkinson series went off the air. Here's one the kids seem to like:
-Mickey Mouse in "Mumbai Madness": Disney has started making eye-popping shorts again, likely to fill time on their channels (some of which are commercial-free). This gorgeous take on Bollywood films is also, as a bonus, in Hindi (the main language in India).
