Golden Age of Animation

[Forbush-Man]

A thread devoted to the pioneer's of Animation. I'll get this thing started with a few clips from early artists, but please feel free to add your own favorite clips or commentary as this rolls along. Embedding the video is quite simple, just copy the embedded code and paste like you would for a post, but change the "Markup" option right below the "Post" window from "using UBBCode" to either "usingHTMLCode" or "usingHTML and USSCode" as needed.

 

Sit back and enjoy some vintage cartoons and stop-frame animation.

I'm not reaaly sure why it is that the post screen is getting smaller, but hopefully it will readjust on the next page. I did notice if you cut and paste a response in the "Quick Reply" screen of a prevoius post, it will read "HTML is enabled UBBCode is enabled", so just cut & paste quick reply to any previous YouTube entry.
