Today, a Washington Post reporter was mentioning that old Looney Toons cartoons are going to be played at the National Gallery of Art this Saturday morning (appropriately). Among others, there will be Duck Dogers (of the 24th and a half century), the Michigan J. Frog one, and "What's Opera, Doc?"...remember? (Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit!!!....my spear and magic helmet!!!)
Towards the end of the article, the write mentioned his distaste for modern cartoons, i.e., the anime and such. He said the bland dialogue just wasn't fitting for a cartoon. He closed his article with what I think was the most intelligent thing I've heard all week:
"...if someone adoringly croons 'Oh, Bwunhilde, you're so wovewy,' and you don't know enough to toss your locks and brassily respond, 'Yes, I know it. I can't help it,' your education is sorely lacking."
Amen.
