‘how come crime express is inaccurate to the time period. the cast and shit doesn’t make sense’ ok i’m trying my hardest to have the lingo/vehicles/so forth be historically accurate but do you really think a story set in the 1930s with an autistic afro-hispanic cartoon detective who’s openly arospec + asexual and multigendered as the protagonist that’s friends with everyone and wears a rainbow vest suit is gonna be historically accurate

#like dude. also with tulip. do you think a wealthy french cartoon who’s a licensed therapist and genderfluid is gonna exist in 1938 #obviously it was my one shit friend asking this :/ y’know the one who sexualizes chione and parwez #actually this applies to literally all the characters. like an autistic brazilian-british trans and gay man #a mexican aromantic trans woman with multiple medical licenses #a fat transmasc non-binary amnesiac who’s panromantic asexual #an albino aroace woman who’s a famous actress and has entirely prosthetic legs #it literally goes on. my shit friend reaaaaaally loves shitting on the story for having an ‘unrealistic’ cast

Alick P. F. Ritchie (Scottish, 1868-1938)

Alick Ritchie was born in Dundee, Scotland. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Antwerp before settling in London as a commercial artist. He produced many cartoons for Vanity Fair, the Sketch, the Bystander and many other magazines and journals. Ritchie's cartoons and caricatures included portraits of celebrities in a style satirising the Cubist and Futurist schools of art that were predominant at the time. In 1912, he published a book called Y? or Zoo-all-awry, consisting of drawings and rhymes of composite animals, such as the Octopussy Cat and the Porcupython. Ritchie became well known for his theatrical posters, and between the wars he also produced posters for the London Underground. (source)

While Mickey Mouse's earliest incarnation is in the public domain, not all of his beloved traits and design features are available for legal use! Let's go over some fair use #fails surrounding the character to learn more

Infestation 88

Pros: no pupils, no gloves, nips out, top hat: this is a high-tier non-infringing Mickey Mouse!

Cons: Mickey Mouse didn't start laying egg pods in space stations until 1939, so that may be infringing

Farfour the Mouse

Pros: agrees with Walt Disney on certain issues

Cons: Mickey did not gain his gloves until 1929 and his pupils until 1938, making this infringing

Mickey & Minnie Mouse Babies Missing Abducted Lethal Injection! Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Cartoons Full

Pros: on-brand for early Mickey's tendency towards animal abuse and inter-person violence

Cons: Joker Mickey wasn't introduced until 1947 and didn't poison any children until the "banned" episode of House of Mouse

Abandoned by Disney

Pros: Hard to recognize status of pupils in photo-negative state

Cons: Disney didn't start making "evil suits" until 1971, when they started stockpiling them in the Utilidors "just in case"

!!!NEW REVIEW!!!

a short that is somewhat ahead of it’s time just as much as it is dated (for a myriad of reasons), The Early Worm Gets the Bird may very well be the closest thing we get to a prototype Bugs Bunny cartoon from Tex Avery before dealing with the real thing. borrowing beats from cartoons that are over 3+ years old and a perplexing embrace of the Disney philosophy from the anti-Disney himself don’t at all take away from gags and bits of characterization that would be used by Avery and his coworkers for years to come. enticed by the age old story of the early bird getting the worm, little blackbird Willie sets out to prove the myth once and for all—that is until a hungry fox gets in the way.

#and this is dated as in it feels like a cartoon from pre-1938 Avery but also dated as in it’s racist so tread with caution #lt #the early worm gets the bird #avery #reviews #looney tunes

Wow, I had no idea about the origin story of Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer! If you aren't familiar with it either, read below:

As the holiday season of 1938 came to Chicago, Bob May wasn’t feeling much comfort or joy. A 34-year-old ad writer for Montgomery Ward, May was exhausted and nearly broke. His wife, Evelyn, was bedridden, on the losing end of a two-year battle with cancer. This left Bob to look after their four-year old-daughter, Barbara.

One night, Barbara asked her father, “Why isn’t my mommy like everybody else’s mommy?” As he struggled to answer his daughter’s question, Bob remembered the pain of his own childhood. A small, sickly boy, he was constantly picked on and called names. But he wanted to give his daughter hope, and show her that being different was nothing to be ashamed of. More than that, he wanted her to know that he loved her and would always take care of her. So he began to spin a tale about a reindeer with a bright red nose who found a special place on Santa’s team. Barbara loved the story so much that she made her father tell it every night before bedtime. As he did, it grew more elaborate. Because he couldn’t afford to buy his daughter a gift for Christmas, Bob decided to turn the story into a homemade picture book.

In early December, Bob’s wife died. Though he was heartbroken, he kept working on the book for his daughter. A few days before Christmas, he reluctantly attended a company party at Montgomery Ward. His co-workers encouraged him to share the story he’d written. After he read it, there was a standing ovation. Everyone wanted copies of their own. Montgomery Ward bought the rights to the book from their debt-ridden employee. Over the next six years, at Christmas, they gave away six million copies of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to shoppers. Every major publishing house in the country was making offers to obtain the book. In an incredible display of good will, the head of the department store returned all rights to Bob May. Four years later, Rudolph had made him into a millionaire.

Now remarried with a growing family, May felt blessed by his good fortune. But there was more to come. His brother-in-law, a successful songwriter named Johnny Marks, set the uplifting story to music. The song was pitched to artists from Bing Crosby on down. They all passed. Finally, Marks approached Gene Autry. The cowboy star had scored a holiday hit with “Here Comes Santa Claus” a few years before. Like the others, Autry wasn’t impressed with the song about the misfit reindeer. Marks begged him to give it a second listen. Autry played it for his wife, Ina. She was so touched by the line “They wouldn’t let poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games” that she insisted her husband record the tune.

Within a few years, it had become the second best-selling Christmas song ever, right behind “White Christmas.” Since then, Rudolph has come to life in TV specials, cartoons, movies, toys, games, coloring books, greeting cards and even a Ringling Bros. circus act. The little red-nosed reindeer dreamed up by Bob May and immortalized in song by Johnny Marks has come to symbolize Christmas as much as Santa Claus, evergreen trees and presents. As the last line of the song says, “He’ll go down in history.”
