HAPPY EASTER 2013

 

 

So, I just received the Blu Ray to “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” it’s still a classic! The video transfer is so good (It’s too good) you can see through the cartoon characters in some of the scenes.

 

One of the features that were available are the 3 Roger Rabbit cartoons that Disney made to play in front of their new releases (new releases as in movies that accompanied the release of Who Framed Roger Rabbit in 1988). I only saw one of them, Tummy Trouble (which is way I put in the rattle) that played in front of “Honey I Shrunk the Kids.”All 3 cartoons were absolutely fantastic! It’s a pity that Disney never continued to produce more Roger Rabbit Cartoons.—Oh well, according to Disney Television lore we got “Bonkers” out of the deal!

PS. There is reference to a character in another Easter cartoon. A character that is a fixture to many holiday specials, actually. See if you can spot it. Here’s a hint: “It's almost Easter, and I have nothing to wear. Look at these shoes! How can I celebrate Easter properly in these shoes?”

"Hey! Listen!"

These pieces of art were inspired by one (of the many) references the Simpsons paid tribute to the film “A Clockwork Orange.” One reference in particular, in Tree House of Horror III (the episode with the segment “King Homer”) where Bart Simpson is dressed in the costume of Alex DeLarge from the film. I spring-boarded from that image and thought it would be humorous to take Bart and some of his friends, dressed them as Droogs and pose them in legendary scenes from the film.

For me, the comedy comes from the collusion of two generational behemoths. That even as controversial as the Simpsons kids are (or were), they are nowhere near as insane the Droogs in “A Clockwork Orange,” and implying that these cartoonish icons could be capable of the types of things that are done in a film like “A Clockwork Orange,” is sort of funny to me. Of course, I have a skewed sense of humor. LOL!
