Just started tears of the kingdom and all I can think of is link when he wakes up in a mysterious cave, butt naked and without any weapons with a disembodied voice guiding him:
This makes me lose it every fucking time because not only is the timing perfect but he isn’t even juggling he’s just throwing the balls in the air one at a time
i do love glados but i wouldnt date her . i would be mutuals with her on tumblr though even though she would always be putting the most apeshit and frivolous drama on my dash because shes always responding disproportionately venomously and aggressively to random peoples posts
wait this is so true i didnt even think about that. she would be like Can you BELIEVE what supernaturalfan80 said to me. and she has the screenshots up on the big monitors and shes scrolling through them and going like Honestly. how would you even respond to this. Well, YOU wouldn’t. meanwhile chell would be facing a blank white wall the whole time like it’s blair witch project
this was long before cartoons were ever thought of as ‘for kids’, the target audience of this one was roughly 20-40
betty boop cartoons featuring cab calloway singing, yes, but slang has changed so much you dont realize he was singing about opium, sugar daddies, death, weed, sex, booze, and gambling back when gambling was nearly as tabboo as sex and drugs. ‘minnie the moocher’ where cab calloway is a dancing walrus is specifically about someone who does literally everything on that list but die
most of the animation studios had their ‘thing’ to make their animation stand out, disney had fluid motion linked with quality music, warner brothers had top notch dialogue with carefully crafted facial expressions, MGM had comedic timing down to the individual frame that no live action comedian could dream of achieving, terrytoons had the budget of a ham sandwitch and a fistfull of nickels
fleischer studios however had authentic jazz and heavy toned subject matter, often crossing the line of what we think of as ‘cartoon violence’ into realistic
idk why this is making me so emotional???
I love this. I’ve always had a love for cartoons
Cab Calloway, he was a legend performer and entertainer, although he’s listed as a jazz singer he did much more with his voice, his singing style and delivery was very unique. Cab (with his band) was the first black artist to sell over a million copies of a single record and he paved the way for many artists to come. Happy Black History Month.
sorry to make this long post longer, but I feel like it needed some actual photos of Cab Calloway, who is, in fact, the greatest
