THAT\"S the name I was trying to remember before - Fleischer!!! I LOVE those things!!! They did some other great stuff, too, not jsut Popeyes. All incredible! Thanks, Hieronymus. That\'s been gnawing at me!

The funny thing is, because they are old enough that the copyrights have run out, you used toeb able to find them on compilation videos for like $1.99. I had five or six of them (the videos) but now their still back in Texas w/ the kids.

FYI - Fleischer also did Betty Boop, Koko the Clown, and the old Superman toons. And the reason Sinbad and Ali Baba are so amazing is because they actually used some 3-D backgrounds for the animation. They were a very inventive and progressive studio.

Okay, I\'ll stop now. Maybe I should change my name to Cartoon Know-it-all?

Dangermouse ROCKED!

Dangermouse is excellent, I loved the episode where he has to pluck the hair from a yeti. I loved a cartoon called prince valiant when I was younger. These days Square bob sponge pants is cool.

Another cartoon I\'ll never forget is \"Balloonland\" directed by Ub Iwerks, (with a name like that, you have no choice but to direct wierd cartoons).

Balloonland is a happy place full of balloon people...
