My Favorite Classic Animated Scenes

 I had alot of inspiration with famous animators and actors mostly in the 30s-50s. Looney Tunes, Mickey And Friends, Tom and Jerry, Tex Avery's MGM Cartoons, Three Stooges, Abbott And Costello, Glenn Miller, Gene Kelly, and The Andrews Sisters. 

They were simpler times, no AI, being greedy wasn't that common, nothing was too minimalistic, it was just decent and average and that's what makes Earth exicting and so does animation.

 

Classic Animation hits so differently than animation today. They were simple, but for a special reason. These animated films had soul, it was hand-drawn, the expressions were lively and felt human.

The geniuses behind the golden age of animation include

Warner Bros. 

Disney

Fleischer Studios.

MGM

Terrytoons

If you never heard of how fantastic classic animation was, this is your lucky day.

I have chose my favorite animated scenes for this project. 

Enjoy.

The Great Piggy Bank Robbery (1946) is my favorite animated short. I grew up with it. The first time I saw this when I was like 13 or 14, I was mind-blown, I was a silly, goofy kid and this totally fit my personality. I loved the Daffy calling on the phone scenes the most. So expressive.

It's no surprise this scene in the overlooked Disney cartoon, Mickey Follies (1929) doesn't get enough popularity. This feels like the first real detailed animated frames of a character, look at Mickey's mouth and movement. It's really appealing and easy to draw. 

Porky's expressive smear animation in The Wearing Of The Grin (1951) is timeless. For such a dull cartoon, this ultimately was the best part of it.

Motor Mania (1950) is a hilarious cartoon, definitely Disney's best. Mr. Walker is a character that's always been in my mind. I love him. Especially in this scene where he goes into beast mode with his car.

I love the Clampett Bugs Bunny alot. It's definitely a step up to his career. I love this sequence of him being so annoyed with the gremlin in the cartoon Falling Hare (1943)

For an average cartoon, I like this part in Little Pancho Vanilla (1938), where he's sent up at the top and has some well-drawn scenes of him reacting to his fall. It's funny. 

Frank Tashlin's 30s cartoons were well known for the characters looking so chubby, it wasn't really made to last. I don't love it, Porky Pig in those cartoons like Porky's Spring Planting and Wholly Smoke, he just looks like he has gained alot of weight and looks like a balloon. 

Mammy Two Shoes (yes that's her name not making this up) is a character that is kinda forgotten, she's funny and can be really expressive at times like with her rushing to get to her house in Saturday Evening Puss (1950)

The best animated cartoon that isn't a 10/10 is The Hep Cat (1942), when I experience this cartoon all I ever think about is the cat singing his song at the start. 

It's got itself a nighttime aesthetic which I genuinely love and has the simple generic cat and dog designs that I can't dislike.

This has drawn to me recently. Bugs Bunny's meltdown losing to Cecil in Tortoise Wins By A Hare (1943). This scene is fantastic. It's certainly relatable and fun to look at.

Alot of this feels like it wasn't drawn at all. This was 1943. I was shocked at stuff like this when I first watched it.

Bugs Bunny has such a hatred for Cecil Turtle. Look at the intense rage. It makes sense.

Classic Disney wasn't always known for their wacky faces and gags but they were sure up there for being the most talented of the animated studios. Also have to mention they are funny and not only a fairytale. Crazy With The Heat (1947) has got to be the most bizarre cartoon Disney ever made. Donald is exhausted and hot from the weather in the desert and he definitely needs something colder. So he's day-dreaming about seeing an iceberg and this is his expressions when seeing it. Hilarious.

Tom and Jerry is a timeless cartoon series. I can see why people might find it boring, but maybe it's because it's the 50s cartoons. The 40s cartoons were much more gag-heavy and better animated. I watched Mice Follies (1954) and that was fine but then I watched Kitty Foiled (1948) and man was it alot different. It's was definitely better of a watch.

Anyways. I love Jerry's heart beat in this scene. Especially when he holds it and it flips it to the other direction.

Even the yellow canary is scared of Tom. Look at that eye. I can see why that canary is so frightened. 

Lastly, here's a slick cool walk Donald does in Donald Gets Drafted (1942) I can't show you an actual animated gif, so it's best for me to show the frames in order.

Pretty interesting? If you love it, go ahead and watch a classic animated cartoon or look at more fun animated frames like this one.

But anyways, hope y'all liked this post. Bye-a 👋
