CLASSIC CARTOON



Cartoon
Drawing, sometimes coloured, made specifically as a pattern for a painting, textile or stained-glass panel. It is produced on the same scale as the final work and is usually fairly detailed. The transfer of the image works best if the drawing in the cartoon is of a linear nature and if the composition has crisp, clear outlines.


Walt Disney's Classic Cartoon Favorites


Given that Mickey Mouse remains one of the most beloved cartoon characters in cinematic history, it makes sense that the first volume of Walt Disney's Classic Cartoon Favorites is devoted to the scrappy little rodent. The disc includes seven shorts revolving around Mickey, though - as is the case with all the installments in the Classic Cartoon Favorites collection - they're not in chronological order. The shorts are: Mickey's Circus, Mickey's Garden, The Little Whirlwind, On Ice, Hawaiian Holiday, Moving Day, and Orphan's Picnic. Each short offers up an expected assortment of hijinks and wacky happenings, and generally pairs Mickey up with one or more members of the Disney universe. In The Little Whirlwind, On Ice, and Hawaiian Holiday, Mickey's one true love, Minnie, finds herself embroiled in some kind of nutty scheme (either that, or she must wait patiently as Mickey copes with a problem that's generally all his doing).
