Classic Animation
Many of us miss the cartoons that always accompanied movies up until the last 25 years or so. Budgetary, time considerations and the Multi-plex culture, as well as competition from television, have pretty much done away with the Popeye, Betty Boop, Mighty Mouse, Road Runner and Daffy Duck mini-masterpieces that ran between the previews and the main feature! But plenty of people still fondly remember them, so below you may scroll back in time (generally 1910- 1965) while browsing these Classic Animated Shorts and the odd Classic Feature Length offering..
