Dumbo, Ben Sharpsteen +, 1941

If you were to ask me "Oh hey, Kinky Boot Beast, if that is your real name, what is the best Disney cartoon?"

And I would say THIS ONE RIGHT HERE!

Not my favorite when I was a kid. I was scared shitless of those pink elephants.

Oh, yeah, this is the whole darn thing.



Directed by too many people to add to the marquee up there - Ben Sharpsteen was the supervising director. Sometimes it takes a lot of people to make something this great.

The Wind in the Willows, James Algar, Clyde Geronimi, and Jack Kinney, 1949

If you're wondering why in tarnation they are singing about "Ichabod" in the credits, it's because this was packaged with "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

Ichabod doesn't even know where Toad Hollow is. Pfft.

哐哐: Year of the Rabbit, Pi San, 2011

Earlier this year, animation director Pi San made a sweet, lighthearted New Year's cartoon. The cartoon went viral, because everyone likes bunnies, right?

As it turns out, the Chinese government did not care for the bunnies so much.



In this news clip, Pi San discusses his creation.



Humor is serious business.
