h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

These came at just the right time - we're currently doing a roleplaying game set in 1935, so this is excellent source material

Great.

Thanks from me too! Again this was one I could watch. I thought as I watched it, heck, was this the nineteen thirties?! The animation is very nicey done though really nutty, and I wondered what would the animation world of today have been like if the Hays code had been a bit less restrictive?

Oh just to be clear I meant the above in relation to the 'Old Man of the Mountain', but I did watch the other Betty Boop one which is also nice, and Bimbo's Initiation as well, which is really loony!

I know what you mean, Willem. There was a lot of surrealistic cartooning back in the 1920s and early 1930s - I remember being blown away by early 'Popeye' comics, which are quite weird.

I wish they hadn't changed, then I would dislike animation.

Sorry, that last sentence should read, 'then I wouldn't dislike animation'.

I wish Fleischer had beaten Disney.
