Batman: The Dark Knight Trailer - in Lego
2008-03-28 02:05:00 This is a very creative recreation of the Dark Knight trailer done using Lego. This is very much in the vain of Batman : New Times, which was released a few years ago. More About: Trailer

Spongebob Squarepants Rectal Thermometer
2008-03-28 01:20:00 I found this over at Cartoon Brew and have to say that the idea of sticking Spongebob up my arse is not very appealing. I'll have to see if this is sold on Amazon so that I can stock it into the... More About: Rectal , Thermometer

The Partridge Family 2200 AD
2008-03-27 12:55:00 Some cartoons are just bad too start off with and should never have made it even to the screens (there are lots of live action TV shows like that too!). One such cartoon is The Partridge Family ...

Of Fox and Hounds - 1940 Tex Avery Merrie Melodies Cartoon
2008-03-10 13:21:00 This is another cartoon that seriously needs to be on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection very soon. I love Tex Avery 's Cartoon s and think that this was one of his finest made at Warner Bros . Of Fox...

Joe Glow the Firefly
2008-03-08 10:36:00 Like much of Chuck Jones' early work, Joe Glow the Firefly is not hilariously funny, but a cute cartoon that pays more attention to style and deatil than making people laugh. This was when Jones was... More About: Warner Bros

2008-03-08 10:25:00 "This time we didn't forget the gravy!" This is perhaps the greatest line ever written for an animated cartoon, and one which my borther, sister and I used to recite all the time. The ending of this... More About: Chow , Jones , Chuck , Warner Bros , Hound
