Shorts (Mostly old cartoons)- Watched
Mostly old cartoon shorts from the 60's or earlier. Eventually I'd like to get through the whole catalogue of Fleischer, Termite Terrace-era WB, Disney and MGM, up til the age of theatrical release cartoons ended, and the medium lapsed into made-for-kids-TV dogshit, in the mid 60's.
But also old, live-action comedy shorts (Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin, Three Stooges, etc), a bunch of anime shorts, a few "Making of..." docos, some artsy-fartsy shorts, and sundry short-form (<40 minutes) stuff.
In order of release date
