      The shorts are so easy to watch, without that 2-hour commitment many movies require, and I find it interesting to see the oldies :)

      It's amazing how early they were able to achieve these kinds of results on film. They were so creative!

    Two weird little animations--LOL! I remember Walt Disney doing some drawings similar to this...showing the ink pen while it was drawing...on the Walt Disney Show on Sunday night. His were much more optimistic, shall we say--LOL! :)

    This must be interesting to see. Did people have a different view of humor and cartoons than we do now?

      I think some humor is timeless, but some is purely a product of its time that doesn't age well. I wonder which of our comedy films will still be considered funny 100 years from now.
