The Centaurs, a Fragment (1921)

"The only surviving fragment of Winsor McCay’s now lost The Centaurs, produced in 1921 by Rialto Productions. The animation is notable for it’s particular quality of line and movement way ahead of its time (20 years before Disney would reach such heights with Fantasia) and for a strange little moment when one of the centaurs strikes down a bird with a stone for seemingly no reason. McCay is best known today for his Little Nemo in Slumberland comic strip and for creating, arguably, the first true character in animation, Gertie the Dinosaur."

Russian Rhapsody - Loony Tunes (1944)

Featuring "Gremlins from the Kremlin."



RUSSIAN RHAPSODY
(Clampett-1944)

We're gremlins from the Kremlin
Da da da da da
We're gremlins from the Kremlin
Da da da da da
I'm a gremlin from the Kremlin
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
We are Russian gremlins
Up in the sky we're from
*Schickelgruber's aeroplanes
We shake right to the ground
We like nothing better than to mess up Messerschmitts
And send their heavy bombers down to earth in teeny bits
Napoleon and his army never got to first base
Now we'll push those nasty Nazis in der fuehrer's face
We're here, we're there, we're everywhere
We're in the Nazi's hair
And when they try to catch us
We're the little men who weren't there
And when they try to catch us
We're the little men who weren't there

*Adolph Hitler was actually Adolph Schickelgruber-Hitler. Schickelgruber was used to poke fun at him by the allies. Source.

The Player

In full.

Great discussion of Nolan Bushnell's (founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese) early career, touching upon subjects of  consumer electronics and recreational robots, the possible social purpose of video games, the economic links between pizza parlors, midways and video game consuls, and divorced, single parents in the 1980s.
