Celebrate The Fourth of July with ‘Make Mine Freedom’

american flagMake Mine Freedom, an early Hannah Barbara cartoon produced by Harding College in 1948, is Cold War propaganda promoting capitalism and critiquing the Soviet Union. After an introductory explanation of the concept of freedom, four men representing labor, management, politics and farmers argue until a salesman steps in, peddling bottles of “Ism” (Communism) and claiming that it will cure everyone’s ills.  A man who has been eavesdropping from a park bench approaches and argues against the salesman’s pitch. Will Capitalism win out over the evils of Communism? Watch Make Mine Freedom to find out! Happy July 4th from TomorrowPictures.TV!

Looney Tunes wasn’t all Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and Daffy Duck!  As with any start-up business, there were early failed attempts, in this case some older cartoon animals that had a brief shot at the big time before disappearing forever.  In the spirit of the “Where are they now?” file, we introduce you to three young squirrels and a non-traditional fox, all of whom act out the Robin Hood Adventures!  The squirrels just want to play, but the fox has different, more culinary pursuits in mind!  Fortunately, an English hunting horn just happens to be lying around…  Get hip on the Strip at TomorrowPictures.TV!

Porky Pig’s on the trail of the Pygmy Ant!

PorkyDid you know that ants can lift 20 times their own body weight?  That with their combined weight greater than the combined weight of all humans, ants are the most numerous type of animal?  That an ant brain has about 250,000 brain cells?  A human brain has 10,000 million, so a colony of 40,000 ants has collectively the same size brain as a single human. Ant brains are the largest amongst insects.  Which brings us to one Mr. Porky Pig, and his efforts to capture the wild Pygmy Ant on the Strip!  Get your Toon on at TomorrowPictures.TV!

Torchy the Battery Boy on the Strip!

Torchy! Torchy the Battery Boy was a wind-up puppet boy created by Mr. Bumbledrop in order to find all the lost toys!  This second British animated puppetry series from Roberta Leigh and Gerry Anderson was a followup to the successful “The Adventures of Twizzle”.  Although available for broadcast from January 1959, “Torchy the Battery Boy” didn’t air in London until February 23rd, 1960 when it was shown as part of ITV’s afternoon programming for children, “Small Time”. The delay meant that by the time it reached the screens the second series, made by Associated British-Pathe, was ready for broadcast, too.  As a result ITV was able to show an unbroken run of 52 new episodes.
