Bob Clampett's Beany and Cecil (ABC, 1962-67) ranks
among the most beloved cartoon shows of the baby-boom era and adults and kids
will enjoy the 12 shorts in this collection. The animation is extremely limited
and the plots are often thin, but neither matter. People watch these cartoons
for the strings of wincingly terrible puns, the lively vocal characterizations
and the comic villainy of (nya-ha-ha) Dishonest John. In these
selections, Beany, Cecil and Captain Huffenpuff encounter beatnik artist Go Man
Van Go, So What and the Seven Whatnots and the Singing "Dinasor" (who inhabits
the No Bikini Atoll). |
