Filmography: Winter Cartoon Roundup
If you would like to help us spread the word about the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive, please link to one of our Winter '06 roundup posts (Animated Cartoons / Animation Art / Illustration) on your own webpage or blog. Thanks!
The ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive has been in operation for about four months now. It's time to review some of our past accomplishments for those who have started following our blog recently. First up is a review of the animated cartoons we have digitized and added to the archive. Click on the images and links for more info...
John Kricfalusi generously donated broadcast quality 3/4 inch tapes of all 120 B&W Popeye cartoons. These are now all available for viewing at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive in Burbank.
Popeye In "Little Swee Pea"

Popeye In "Lost & Foundry"

John K also donated broadcast quality tapes of Bob Clampett's greatest cartoons...
Coal Black And De Sebben Dwarfs:

Tin Pan Alley Cats:

We discussed film restoration and proper video presentation with these two films...
Swing You Sinners:

Betty Boop In Snow White:

Jerry Beck & Mark Kausler contributed an important collection of rare Terrytoons...
Nutty Network:

Al Falfa in "Pink Elephants":

Over the next week, I'll be rounding up our Winter posts on illustration, cartooning, animation and biographies. These roundups aren't provided just to entertain you... I want you to think about what these posts mean to you. If you value them, you'll do your part to help the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive reach its goals.
A Distressing Fact
Last month, we posted letters from June Foray and Leonard Maltin urging you to support this project. June and Nancy Cartwright gave a short presentation on the Archive in front of nearly 1000 of animation's top talents at the Annie Awards. We asked people who could not afford to make a monetary donation to Write A Letter Of Support.
To date, we have not received a single response to these appeals.
The ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive will not be able to continue without your support. At the top of each post is a quick list of suggestions for how you can help...
Bookmark our HOME PAGE, COMMENT using the link at the bottom of each post, lend us ARTWORK to be digitized, Write a BIOPEDIA ENTRY or LETTER OF SUPPORT, CONTRIBUTE to sustain the project, VOLUNTEER to help us reach our goals, LINK TO US on your own webpage or blog, and TELL YOUR FRIENDS.
If you aren't familiar with the goals of the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive, look in the sidebar under ABOUT THE ARCHIVE... You'll find our Project Mission, an explanation of Why An Animation Archive Is Important, and an outline of What We Have Achieved So Far.
If you find this resource to be valuable, I hope you will acknowledge that with your donations and your support.
from people like you. Please contribute...

Hi Steve!
I feel like I've been neglecting my responsibilities by not commenting here. That's not because I don't value the work you're doing but, rather, because I'm just plain lazy sometimes!
The truth is that I don't know of a more valuable or important resource than this project.
Keep up the great work, old friend!

I've written and signed your letter (and its GOOD!) but Thai post offices are closed until Monday May 8, so I'll send it then.
All the best to you! You're doing FANTASTIC work here, really excellent! I only wish I could do more to help YOU do more, faster!
Letter's LONG on its way to you, if you haven't already received it!
Is my letter, in fact, the FIRST you received?
