It's not just that AI is something new or it's a useless gimmick. It's that I find it to be a moral crime. It could make my life easier and give me time to do nothing but write poetry and count the leaves on trees and still wouldn't use it because I think it's genuinely akin to theft and murder.
God I love Fleischer. You absolutely can't predict where his cartoons will go. A torrent of visual gags, creative use of music and rhythm, and virtuoso animation. The 3D staircase sequence in this is still astonishing 93 years later. Featuring the early Betty Boop, when she was still a poodle!
#6 Bimbo's Initiation (1931)(Short) - Fleischer animation that no doubt inspired one or two Cuphead levels. Some hooded men try to get Bimbo to join their club and he refuses and is repeatedly tortured and threatened. Delightful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSm0...
