Bimbo's Initiation (by Grim and Dave)



Earlier today I was asked who my favorite animator was. I can never decide permanently, but I think Grim Natwick would be a good choice. When he worked with the great Dave Fleischer it made the cartoons that cement The Fleischers' as my favorite cartoon studio (until they started imitating Disney). The above cartoon is one of those defining cartoons, and also unfortunately the last of Natiwck's first era of the Fleischers'. This is probably the finest print you will find of this cartoon unless it's released on DVD or shown in a theater. Wanna be a member like me?

Challenge: If you could only watch films by five directors

They would be(in no order):

Werner Herzog
Dave Fleischer
Stanley Kubrick
Ishiro Honda
Buster Keaton

Admittedly, my list is pretty gut oriented. I need my dose of

Aguirre,

Gojira/Godzilla,

Betty Boop,

Sherlock Jr.,

and Alex.
