Default Jerry Beck Presents "The Worst Cartoons Ever Made"

Is anybody aware of this?

The Worst Cartoons Ever Made by Jerry Beck.

Amazingly, not one of those have I ever even heard of until now (except for Luno, and that's only because I saw somebody declare it even worse than the series).

I've seen it on Jerry's site. I've just never had the courage to buy it.

I actually have a couple of VHS tapes of Spunky & Tadpole, which are featured on the bonus of this DVD. I don't know if that's a good, bad, or indifferent thing.

Some time ago I bought a homemade DVD of one of Jerry's Worst Cartoon Ever thing.

Most of the cartoons were from the early TV era of the 50s and early '60s. Stuff like "Spunky and Tadpole" (which was part of Don Messick's early voice acting career), a bunch of Sam Singer shows, and a pilot from Harman-Ising's attempt at TV animation, "Sir Gee Whiz" which was never picked up (and for a good reason). And Fred Ladd's "Big World of Little Adam", which was so cheaply made that they covered the characters' mouths with a book so they didn't have to animate it. Oh, and Terrytoons' "Luno" was included.

If you want an example of how NOT to make a cartoon, then this DVD is for you.

Are any of these available online? Just post what you feel are the absolute worst.

Well, Jerry was an Animation Student at The School of Visual Arts, but really, "the worst cartoons ever made by Jerry Beck"?

I wanted to be a student at The School of Visual Arts in NYC. Their art demands were too high. And that's when I realized that there are no real careers for artists.

I went to School of Visual Arts too...so I'm not sure how to reply.

Paddy the Pelican is so randomly constructed, that (to me) it almost plays like avant-garde cinema.

Almost.

And of course Jerry's Cartoon Dump project, along with TV's Frank of MST3K fame, has shown some of the worst cartoons ever made, like Mighty Mr. Titan, on YouTube/Cartoon Brew films and also live in NYC and LA

>>Do you love great animation? Are you a fan of quality cartoons? Well, if so, you will be appalled and horrified by Cartoon Dump

They should have had MST3K do some riffing of lousy cartoons--and actually now that I think of it, in their later years they riffed a Gumby short. I guess
this counts as animation (stop motion). We have movie sign.
