Well, I’m looking for cartoons starring Droopy and those cartoons that are “The House of tomorrow!” They also have the car of tomorrow, I believe. They always had terrible things for the mother-in-law (her medicine cabinet only contained poisons.)

I’d also be interested in seeing stop-motion, or indeed alternative (to cel) animation techniques in general. I’ve also noticed that some stop-motion by Starewicz and Charley Bowers occasionally shows up on public domain compilations, as well.

With regards to “Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs”: for those on the West Coast, ASIFA-Hollywood’s Animation Archive does have a copy of it that can be viewed by the public:

Ooooh, sorry! Most of the titles listed in your first note are not in the Public Domain, and are therefore unavailable to us at this time. Happily, much of the George Pal and Ray Harryhausen stuff is P.D., so we’ll see what we can do!

You rule DAVE! One of Pal’s shorts won an Oscar during the war, but I can’t remember the title. Here’s a link I found to a page with some photos from Harryhausen’s fairy tales.

One of our local TV stations actually played the stuff during the 70’s.

We don’t have a formal request process going — but tell us what you are looking for and we can tell you if it’s a title in the upcoming line-up.

I’m happy with whatever Refredator offers, but I would love to see “Porky in Wackyland” or the color version “Dough for the Do-Do”. Clampett’s surrealism was wonderfully bizzarre. “Coal Black And De’ Sebben Dwarfs” also deserves to be shown inspite of it’s politically incorrect stigma. “Chow Hound” would also be great to see, as long as you “don’t forget the gravy”!!!!!

I thought of one more thing, old 3-D. George Pal’s Puppettoons, and Ray Harryhausen’s Fairy Tale series would also be good for artist’s technical studies.

Hello! I was wondering if there’s a possibility of requesting a cartoon.
If so, where can I do this?
