    Groovy, Man

    Marvin's father supervises him in repainting the apartment and promptly falls asleep on the couch. Marvin talks his friends into repainting the entire neighborhood in paisleys.

    It's one of the very late Paramount cartoons, from shortly before they shut down the division. Under the supervision of veteran Seamus Culhane and Ralph Bakshi, they cut designs to a minimum, went with quarter-animation, and tried to appeal to the kids, in this case with a bubblegum pop group called The Life Cycle -- sorry, never heard of them. Although the visuals are rather annoying for anyone who enjoys classic studio-era animation, you can see the effort to offer something novel here.
