Well, I am officially creeped out by Jack Frost...

Although I love the ancient cartooning style.

Do you know what I find interesting...The fact that we all say that something is red...and we would generally agree that a certain colour is red...but there is no way of telling whether the other person perceives red as the same colour you perceive it as. I think that that's interesing. As well as taste of food...and how some people can hate something while others love it. Very interesting stuff.
Just like I'm the only one around that likes lima beans and peas... and some people love bananas, but they make me gag.

I don't think I've ever tried a Lima bean...In fact, I'm not even sure what they are. But people are always talking about them. Perhaps I should google the creatures.

I think everything is really upside down, it's just the the lens in your eyes reverses the image. Also, I think yellow is the only color that the human eye doesn't make by itself. You're eye helps make all the other colors and everyhting it really gray. So it's thought that dogs can actually see the color yellow for this very reason.

On a more serious animation discussion... anyone else notice they basically just stole Disney's "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" cartoon? Considering this was made by Ub Iwerks (the guy who really came up with Mickey Mouse- former employee of Disney's) , it's almost like revenge. Too bad he couldn't make something great.

I love old timey cartoons... but I hate ones that outwardly say "Hey! Look what I can do," when it comes to color and sound synch. I rather would love to see "Look how I can apply it."

Plus, that scatting scarecrow (clearly rotoscoped) is completely ripped off of old Betty Boop cartoons with Cab Calloway. Now THOSE were classics.

Hey, I just found the funniest thing. Some airlines have banned carrying canned fish on board in case it explodes!
Here is the Wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming#Controversy
Well, you never know? I mean Lew Zealand and Crazy Harry together with Bunsen Honeydew have come up with a new kind of exploding fish, So you have to be careful abut that king of thing...

Seriously, who would bring a can of fish on a flight, anyway? :confused:
