Since a TV program runs at least 30 minutes with commercials on average, I think this cartoon would work well if it were aired as a TV special on Cartoon Network every year around Thanksgiving time (a nod to the fact that the Disney Aladdin film was originally released in November). It would be aired as the restored DVD version uncut, with live-action wrap-arounds used to slightly pad out the length of the program w/o commercials.

Do you think "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp" might work as an annual TV special? ]]> The Termite Terrace Trading Post PF9 http://forums.goldenagecartoons.com/showthread.php?t=14038 <![CDATA[If there are any "Angry Beavers" fans here]]> http://forums.goldenagecartoons.com/showthread.php?t=14037&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:51:33 GMT A friend of mine is selling off a bunch of her Angry Beavers stuff, and she owned three real background layouts to three different AB episodes ("Silent But Deadly", "Muscular Beaver 3", and "Sans-a-Pelt").

(I'll start with an obvious one)

- You don't recognize Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, or any other Looney Tunes character when you see them.

- You have no idea why saying the word "despicable" with a lisp is funny.

- You assume every "old school" cartoon character was created by Disney.

- You are upset because a bunch of "crazy talking animals" are pre-empting many of your favourite live action shows on CN this month.

Well, guess what? I got a writing assignment to do. So, to make sure that this isn't forgotten, here's a short story I wrote for my class. Don't worry, there's a classic carton reference somewhere in here.

It was the fourteenth of May, a Thursday to be exact, when an upper-middle class house was sitting on a corner, waiting for anyone to come on inside and enjoy the peace and quiet that was waiting inside. And that wait was about to be over in approximately 30 seconds, as one of the occupants of the home, Max Rockafeller Patterson (the Third), slowly approached to the house. When he went inside, no one was there. Not only did Max know that, but he was happy when an opportunity like this happened. He was the type of person who enjoys on how quiet the house was, unlike his family, who would rather listen to what they consider good music and watch the latest rambling from “The Best in the Business” on television then the peace and quiet. Adding to that, it also allowed him to think, which made Max happy for some peculiar reason. One of the things he liked to think about was fictional writing that is in a more comical turn, partly because of all the short subjects he keeps on watching. One idea he was kicking around in his brain was a story about an Average Joe who was enlisted in a war called “The Great Moving Picture War,” but every time he told the outline to people, they thought it was the silliest story they ever heard. Even his writing teacher thought it was too “out there” to work, but Max hold on to the idea and thought about it in his spare time, thinking that there was at least one person out there who would love it. That one person was “80’sguy2009,” otherwise know as Mattie, a “YouView” member that Max befriended back in a cloudy April, and ever since, the two of them became the best online buddies a person could ask for.

So after a quick snack, Max headed to what he considered his “comfort zone”, the computer room. After getting relaxed, he head on over to his “YouView” inbox and continued typing his ongoing conversation with Mattie.

“Hey, Mattie! How is that ‘Godjairia’ fanfiction of yours coming along,” typed Max.

“Why, it is doing pretty well, thanks for asking,” typed Mattie with a hint of joyous feeling. “As of right now, I am thinking about the finale. How does ending it with Godjairia falling into sea, making the tidal wave he created from the impact ends up destroying Tokyo, making the whole story completely ironic?”

“Sounds like the type of story I would read,” typed Max, knowing that Mattie will not get the sarcastic tone of that sentence.

“Thanks! Say Max,” typed Mattie with a hint of curiosity, “you know, I write a lot of fanfiction. Thinking about it, have you ever considered writing you own?”

“This is it, the moment of salvation,” thought Max as his vision was going to be finally unleashed to a human being without a hint of negativity.
“Well, actually, the thought has not crossed my mind at all, but I do have this idea that has been floating around my head for months. Want to heat it?”

“Sure. I got nothing better to do for the next few hours. Go nuts.”
“Okay. Well, this is going to be a huge war epic story that is all about this 19 year old Average Joe who decides to join “The Great Moving Picture War,” but he is completely unaware that this is no ordinary battle and eventually becomes a lunatic about it. Pretty cool, is it not?”

“Wow. Just wow.”

“What, you don’t like it?”

“Are you kidding me? That story sounds so crazy, it absolutely perfect for the realm of the Internet! Come on; give me on what this story is like!”
“Alright, but remember, you asked for it. Just let me split it up to another Private Message so things can be more convenient.”

So, finally, after months of rejection and laughter, Max finally found a person interested in this crazy story. Without hesitation, he began typing with a slew of emotions.

“Well, the story is about a solider by the name of Phil, who was the solider that everyone in America likes. He was tough, strong, loyal, and a smart fellow. However, on the day he went to sign up for ‘The Great Moving Picture War,’ the General at the base said, ‘Your sanity is not going to get out of this alive.’ Naturally, he thought that was a lot of mouthwash.”
“Whoa, now that’s a story worth reading. What does he mean by that his sanity will not make it,” typed Mattie with the hint of confusion.
“Well, what Phil did not know was that the war was taking in Darkest Africa, the home of Wackyland, where anything could happen there,” typed Max with the pride of a lion.

“Anything?”

“Anything. So, once he arrived into the so called “Wackyland”, he heard a voice from the distance saying “It CAN happen here!” However, Phil thought it was a scare tactic, and chose to ignore it. However, once he took about 20 steps, he noticed a big set of lips right behind a sigh he did not noticed when he walked in. The mouth said, “Don’t you believe it”, and ran out into the distance. Once he saw that, rather than questioning the whole thing, he pulled out his journal and wrote the following passage.”
‘Day 1: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the General was right,’ said Phil as he was furiously writing down the following. ‘When I joined this war, I thought it was all going to be fun and games. Once I entered, I knew the violence I’ll see won’t be the kind of violence I saw in the movies. I know the kind: the kind where you shoot in any direction, use brilliant scheme to get into the enemy base, and the various gun you use to shoot the enemy. But, the kind I was seeing in this so called “Wackyland?” I’ll be surprised if I don’t use the gun for enemy combat.’

‘But you know what? I like a good challenge. When I sign up for the war, I knew I was getting into a war that no one knew was going to end. And for that, I think my sanity will have at least one shred into it. I better hang on to my hat, because I got an adventure to complete, and it will be one for the history books.’

“And with that, he closes the journal and starts the journey that nether begins or ends. Well, that’s how I’m going to start the whole story. So how was it,” typed Max with the excitement of a dog chasing its’ tail.

“Well, for starters, the story makes me question your sanity,” typed Mattie with the tone of a confused individual. ]]> The Looney Bin http://forums.goldenagecartoons.com/showthread.php?t=14031
