The Big Cartoon DataBase
If  not for IMDb's skimpy cartoon offerings, this unparalleled database of cartoon filmography might not exist. Four years ago, founder Dave Koch sought episode guides for cartoons but came up short. So he rounded up his creative posse and started scouring the Web for toon-related information. They've compiled a massive searchable list of all toons great and small, complete with episode guides, crew lists, and synopses sprinkled with anecdotal flavor. Studio heavyweights Hanna-Barbera, Warner Brothers, and Disney are all represented, as is the seasonally inclined Rankin-Bass, creators of Frosty the Snowman. Check out the episode that saw Homer Simpson attending college, or reach further back to the '40s when Popeye the Sailor reflected wartime sentiments. For some Halloween nostalgia, visit universally loved Casper the Friendly Ghost and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Fans of the esoteric and rare are encouraged to write reviews and keep the animation alive. (in Comics & Animation) |
