The Xbox One has not had the greatest of times this generation but one of its shining lights has been Cuphead, the old animation styled rock hard run and gun game. Well, I’m beyond excited to see the game has been announced for release on the Nintendo Switch on 18th April 2019. I’m definitely buying it and can’t wait to play it! For fans of old Fleischer and Disney animation this is a must.
Betty Boop in Halloween Party- Spooky Kids TV Appreciation Month (Spooktober)
This 1932 Fleischer Studio animation isn’t really scary but more sweet as Betty Boop invites people over to hers for a Halloween Party, but “Bring Your Own Lunch.” However, a gorilla gatecrashes the party and it’s up to Betty and co. to ensure the evening is not ruined.
This is not a bonafide classic like the others I have shared so far but it is pretty good with a strong voice actress in Bonnie Poe and vaudeville, film and TV actress Mae Questel.
Cobweb Hotel- Spooky Kids TV Appreciation Month (Spooktober)
The Cobweb Hotel is a spooky 1936 animation by Fleischer Studios. The cartoon tells the tale of a malevolent spider who runs a hotel where he traps unsuspecting travelling flies, bugs and other creatures in his cobwebby lair. However, the spider’s luck changes when a newly married fly couple come to stay.
The cartoon is beautifully animated and the sound design adds to the creepy atmosphere. The whole thing is a horrifying hellscape of nightmarish imagery which will stay with you long after the cartoon ends.
