Great!

Man, that is straight outta the fridge, Daddio.
Its a twist on the old crossroads myth - once you're in the hands of the Devil your musical talent will multiply.

Here's Tex Avery's classic "Red Hot Riding Hood", with a similarly hip, subversive take on things and anarchy at maximum levels:

That was great... but this is its equal.

Charlie Brown has a crisis on Valentine's Day...

"You gotta get hot to play real cool"

Fantastic. Never saw this before. As the man said "Shit Hot"!

Any excuse will do

I've posted this before but it'll stand another outing. Here's the cattiest hepcat in town (no, not you, Mr H).

... in ages.

Far Out, you crazy cats.

Tiny reminders

The three little pigs remind me of Chas 'n' Dave with Mick giving it some stick in the background.

Jazz cartoons

Cartoons and jazz have had a difficult history. It seems that lots of the cartoonists were huge jazz fans, but their portrayal of black characters has since been considered offensive - such as in "Goldilocks and the Jivin' Bears", which was one of "The Censored Eleven" cartoons banned by Warner Bros.

Cartoons in which Betty Boop fraternised with real-life black characters such as Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong met with trouble from the Ku Klux Klan.
Betty Boop, Cab Calloway and "Minnie the Moocher" (Song starts properly 3m45s in):


Betty Boop, Louis Armstrong and "I'll be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You".(Louis Armstrong appears, freakishly, 3 minutes in):


(Both clips include hideously outdated racial stereotypes, plus animation that is weird to the point of being scary...)

Kill The Wabbit.

'What's Opera, Doc?' is the best cartoon ever. Sorry but I'm right.


The second best cartoon ever is 'Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century'.

"The Unmentionables"

Great choices Paul, though possibly not as good as "The Unmentionables" (1963), starring Bugs Bunny as "Elegant Mess" battling in 20's Chicago with Rocky, Mugsy, Snitch, Jack "Legs" Rhinestone, "Baby Face" Half-Nelson, "Pizza-Puss" Lasagne, "Pistol-Nose" Pringle and "Teeth" Malloy. Not on YouTube!
