 Rocky and Bullwinkle
The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show is the collective name for two separate American television animated series: Rocky and His Friends (1959 – 1961) and The Bullwinkle Show (1961 – 1964). Rocky & Bullwinkle enjoyed great popularity during the 1960s. Much of this success was a result of it being targeted towards both children and adults. The zany characters and absurd plots would draw in children, while the clever usage of puns and topical references appealed to the adult demographic. Furthermore, the strengths of the series helped it overcome the fact that it had choppy, limited animation; in fact, some critics described the series as a well-written radio program with pictures. www.hulu.com/watch/48659/rocky-and-bullwinkle-and-friends-jet-fuel-formula-and-bullwinkles-ride-or-goodbye-dollink |

 Popeye Classic CartoonPopeye the Sailor is a comic strip character, later featured in popular animated cartoons. He was created by Elzie Crisler Segar,and first appeared in the King Features comic strip Thimble Theater on January 17, 1929. Popeye quickly became the main focus of the strip, which was one of King Features’ most popular strips during the 1930s and it remains one of the longest running strips in syndication today. Thimble Theater, carried on after Segar’s death in 1938 by artists such as Bud Sagendorf, was renamed Popeye in the 1970s. Drawn by Hy Eisman, Popeye continues to appear in first-run strips in Sunday papers (daily Popeye strips are reruns of older strips). In 1933, Max and Dave Fleischer’s Fleischer Studios adapted the Thimble Theater characters into a series of Popeye the Sailor theatrical cartoon shorts for Paramount Pictures. These cartoons proved to be among the most popular of the 1930s, and Popeye at one time rivaled Mickey Mouse for popularity among audiences. After Paramount assumed control of the Fleischer Studio in 1942, they continued producing the series until 1957. Later Popeye cartoons were produced for television from 1960 to 1962 by King Features, and from 1978 to 1982 and 1987 to 1988 by Hanna-Barbera Productions (now owned by Warner Brothers). retrovision.tv/freevideo/a-dozen-popeye-cartoons/ |

 Free Documentaries This is one of the best sources I have found for documentariesAt freedocumentaries.org we strongly believe that in order to have a true democracy, there has to be a free flow of easily accessible information. Unfortunately, many important perspectives, opinions, and facts never make it to our televisions or cinemas (you can watch movies in our media category if you want to know why). Our goal is to have everyone that watches a film at freedocumentaries.org learn something; whether it be a new perspective on a topic, simply understanding a conflict, or being more accepting of a certain belief system. We are proud to say that the vast majority of people that watch our films are glad they did so. In fact many people become addicted to watching documentaries after seeing a movie on our site. freedocumentaries.org/film.php?id=199 |
