Christmas comes but one cartoon at a time. This year, Santa elastic elves have provided an embarrassment of riches. At CityRag, there's a list of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of All Time, as voted on by animators themselves— with video links for nearly every one. Then, on Fanpop, you can see another perfectly linked list to 100 Christmas videos that will stir up every beloved or nauseating Christmas memory left in your front lobes: from Charlie Brown to Elvis's Blue Xmas to The Office episode where Steve Carell forces his employees into the worst Secret Santa Massacre ever recorded.
One thing I noticed about the animator's top picks is how sexy they are. Even the Tom and Jerry cartoon has that certain frisson, if only because its characters are so "curvy." Little numbers like Red Hot Riding Hood are as salacious as they sound. Some of the earliest "dirty movies" were created by off-hours Disney animators, making 'toons where Mickey ran around with a giant erection, corn-holing everything in sight. (No, I don't have a link for that, darnnit!)
It's always been my theory that if you hand someone a pencil and paper, something erotic is going to pop out within the hour— of is it just me? I can't doodle without my id taking over the lead.
