A brutal car crash in 1932 should have ended Bob McKimson’s career. Instead, the severe concussion rewired his brain, leaving the already brilliant master draftsman with a photographic memory and turning him into an absolute machine.

Why does Porky Pig keep kissing his chickens?! 🐖💋🐔 We spotted this bizarre habit in "An Egg Scramble" (1950) and we need answers! Watch the full historical breakdown on my channel with @thetooneytenor.bsky.social ! 📺👇
Bugs Bunny Week continues! Did you know the rabbit in "Elmer's Pet Rabbit" isn't exactly the Bugs we know? While Tex Avery perfected the character, Chuck Jones was simultaneously directing a different, Jimmy Stewart-sounding version! Watch the full historical breakdown on my channel! #LooneyTunes
One of the finest WWII shorts ever made and one of Frank Tashlin’s best shorts as well! Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall seeing Mel Blanc’s recording session for this. Plus the ending cue when we see ‘you know who’ is perfect. From Scrap Happy Daffy (1943)
In a Friz Freleng cartoon, gravity only works when it's funny! 💥 Let's look at one of the greatest "cartoon physics" gags of all time from the 1949 classic, High Diving Hare. Watch the full review on my channel! 📺 #LooneyTunes #AnimationHistory #BugsBunny
The Yankee Doodle Mouse (1943) has a brand new restoration on the new complete Tom and Jerry Blu Ray set which features all 114 shorts in the original run! This one had won the 1943 Academy Award for best animated short!
Director Jack King made some weird Porky Pig shorts and this is one of them! Though I like this scene - due to how strange it is! Let me know if you’ve seen this one! From Shanghaied Shipmates (1936)
So glad to finally see this wonderful Tom and Jerry short restored! And finally having all 114 original Tom and Jerry shorts in one set complete and uncut (as it should be). Let me know if you are planning on buying the set! Clip is from The Zoot Cat (1944)
Full review of the new Tom and Jerry Anthology set is now on YouTube in case you haven't seen it yet — link in bio/first comment. Let me know which short you saw first when you got this set or which one you plan to see first! #TomAndJerry #AnimationHistory #Restoration #PhysicalMedia
With budgets tightening, legendary director Friz Freleng had to get creative. He leaned into a "less is more" approach—relying heavily on off-screen action, Treg Brown's masterful sound effects, and static "aftermath" poses to imply violence cheaply but effectively.
Did you know that it took three shorts before the formula for the Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog shorts came together? This is the second one where were are first introduced that the wolf (unnamed still!) is ALSO doing shift work.
Great communication from Duncan Robinson here. Gets the playcall and is right in Paul Reed's ear. Pretty sure they went Wide (call for the pindown), Robinson is letting him know there's a Flare this time. Tells him to stay high. Mobley helps on the flare, Reed open on the roll
Many of you say that #ForeverCanadian awoke Albertans. It gave us a voice and purpose. I agree. Definitely, we are now a community and a movement that’s about to grow. Let’s take a look back at 2025 and at how it all happened. Happy New Year, Canada!🇨🇦 #ableg #cdnpoli

While campaigning in 2024, Trump kept calling Liz Cheney a warhawk and mentioning the repercussions of starting a war. Back then, Republicans didn't like war.
That just hit all 4 corners on my 2026 Americas fucked bingo card. If you've ever known someone you loved or liked who suffered with COPD. Then you know how horrible of a way it is to die. That's basically what one of the death penalty options is now. Suffocation. #SheShed #DeathPenalty
Customer service is so bad you can’t even complain without risking your food. Robots don’t take forever. They don’t snap back. They just do the job. People aren’t scared of robots. They’re scared of being replaced for not caring. Full conversation: https://youtube.com/live/-QzBH1nqa8w?feature=share
'She said she wouldn't be triggering a leadership election.' As Angela Rayner is cleared by HMRC over her tax affairs, Chief Secretary to the Treasury James Murray clears the air on whether she would attempt to oust Keir Starmer.
Day 461 - Cutting gasoline prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 10 October 2024 at the Detroit Economic Club in Detroit Michigan. He also promised he'd end Russia/Ukraine war in ONE day, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope.

A MAGA woman spent a year harassing Mexican neighbors over parking. When the cop shut her down, she reached for the real weapon: Call Trump. Call ICE. That is the threat now. When racist harassment fails, they reach for disappearance.
