I’m a little confused about the concept here. If the person is transported to the time where his behavior is most appropriate, wouldn’t they be accepted happily there? Maybe a thing got lost in translation.
Also, I wonder what time I would end up in. Hopefully not a time with a lot of ooty ootiers.
Midway through this, I thought, “Hey, I could hire these guys to make me a Flintstone house for way cheaper than $3.2 million*,” but then I watched the rest of the film. Oh well.
I guess I’m a couple of weeks late with this cartoon, but it wasn’t this hot a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it was. I can’t remember. My brain has melted.
Water in a stop-motion film is one of the best things ever. A dancing bread squirrel isn’t too bad either.
Part 2 (since this is originally a Grimm tale, I’m wondering if the mud is standing in for something worse):
Yesterday was Donald Duck’s 83rd birthday  and I didn’t hear a thing about it. Sorry, Donald. Let me rectify that by posting your debut cartoon. Of special interest to viewers may be the depiction of duck toes and also the curious phenomenon of baby chicks wearing shoes.
I’ve been trying to find more information about the nursery rhyme “There Was An Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe.” Apparently it’s not just a cute poem about a mother who starves and whips her children.

It doesn’t make much historical sense, and yes, she’s probably going to become an alcoholic if this is her only coping mechanism, but it’s nice to see that those kids aren’t being hindered in their desire to throw down a stomping beat.
Things I’ve learned this morning:
