Classic Animation has had some really solid and fun looking designs and I sincerely have such a passion for these, that they have infleunced me to make my cartoon characters like this.
I'll show you over 20 of them and you'll see what I mean.
My favorite one is Mr. Walker in Motor Mania (1950), best walk cycle, best fashion.
I also love Screwy Squirrel and Meathead Dog. Most certainly love them both in one picture.
Br'er Fox was always such a solid looking character in the Disney canon. He appears in controversial film, Song Of The South (1946). I can see why it was banned but I kinda liked some parts of it, I certainly like the live action and cartoon concept and the songs were really fun. I haven't watched the entire film but if I would watch it, it would be decent.
Paying The Piper (1949) is a hilarious Robert McKimson cartoon and coming back watching this one, it has some fantastic cat designs.
Ah. Here's a classic. I've talked about Tex Avery alot on my blog and the wolf design will never be forgotten. It's too good, so simple and just pure classic taste!
Cyril Proudbottom, looking fresh in the judge's court in the Disney film, The Wind In The Willows (1949).
Who doesn't love Foghorn Leghorn? I certainly love how expressive and smart he is. Love his design as well.
The two chefs in French Rarebit (1951) are hilarious. I have a guilty pleasure with characters that speak differently than others. I know here their french but I cannot deny that their acting is too funny and the fact that this is a Robert McKimson cartoon.
Alice In Wonderland (1951) was a really fun movie, all the characters in that movie were really funny and full of personality, my favorites were March Hare and Mad Hatter. These guys were too perfect.
Am I the only one to think that these designs from the mid 30s MGM cartoons were actually appealing? The villainous cat in Poor Little Me (1935) is a clear example. I like how detailed they looked.
You've seen this coming, if you have seen most of my posts, Kitty Kornered (1946) has the best cat designs in the Looney Tunes franchise.
And so does A Gruesome Twosome (1945).
I really like the Woody Woodpecker cartoons, but not all of them were enjoyable, but I would say all of them were at least amusing. He's a really interesting character and in Pantry Panic (1941) he's hanging out with "Starvation" which resembles a grim-reaper likeness to it. I really like it. It's a good animated sequence.
Next is George Geef and this guy.
I have a guilty pleasure with the cartoon, The Hep Cat (1942), it isn't a special cartoon, but it's a one I keep on coming back to the most. I love the music and the nighttime aesthetic. If this would've had more strong gags and more smart dialogue, this would've been up there with Kitty Kornered and The Great Piggy Bank Robbery.
I've talked about this dog in another post on my blog and he's such a cool design as well. He's in Two Gophers From Texas (1948).
Angus MacRory is an underrated Chuck Jones character and I certainly love his Scottish accent.
Who is this? I didn't even know who this guy's name was until I wrote this and his name was Milton. I really wished he was in more cartoons because he's funny. He probably had some sorta recognition but it was too late.
And so does Ben Buzzard. Man this has to be the most expressive Disney character that only appeared in one short I ever seen. When I first watched it, I knew I had to talk about him.
I admire the designs in the movie The Adventures Of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949). It's the first Disney movie I ever seen and one of my favorite Disney films. I love Mr. Toad, Cyril Proudbottom, and the others for sure, but by far my favorite design in the movie was Brom Bones. He has the best human design in Disney history in my opinion.
The world's smallest entertainer, also has the world's cutesy design I ever seen. Seriously I love this thing. If you didn't know, she appears in Hamateur Night (1939) a really underrated Looney Tunes cartoon.
I might as well take a break on Disney, and Looney Tunes because we got something way older. Flip The Frog is a cartoon character I'm really ignorant by. I need to watch more of his cartoons since I watched The Hick Critic's Part 1 video of reviewing every MGM cartoon, and while he is one of my favorite Youtubers, you should really check out his videos and as for me, I need to start liking Flip The Frog, because I really like how rubbery and fine he looks.
Funny Face (1932) is the only cartoon I remember watching so far.
And finally, Toodles Galore. I just love how this cat looks. She was pretty much why I was so invested in the Tom and Jerry cartoons more. They were just fun to look at, and had some what feels like generic designs, had some really unforgotten cast of characters.
Well, until next time, I will be talking about a certain Mickey Mouse cartoon that caught me off guard with this part in Mickey's Follies (1929). If your really wanting to know what's with this scene then stay tuned.
