Episode 100 - Zygote

March 11, 2023 21:20 - 1 hour - 59.1 MB

Well, we made it to 100! Now let's go out on top with some series finales. We're going to watch Home Movies and see how Brendon and friends deal with not knowing how to end things, along with not knowing how to do makeup or build a grill. And then we'll watch Fables of the Green Forest, and find out what happens when furry woodland creatures need to sleep for the winter. Turns out not much! Plus, we both reflect on the things we've done, and the things we didn't get to do. We made it 100 epi...

Episode 99 - Cartoons

March 06, 2023 20:04 - 1 hour - 46.8 MB

Cartoons? Cartoons! Cartoons about cartoons! We'll watch an episode of Tiny Toon Adventures called Animaniacs!, where Plucky learns what cartoons are and how they work, and everything anyone ever needed to know about comedy beats or beets. Meanwhile, we won't learn anything from Ren and Stimpy making and producing their own cartoon, but maybe we'll learn what's wrong with Wilbur Cobb (no, we won't). Plus, Matsy watches more Bluey and ventures into previously unseen Ralph Bakshi, while Micah ...

Episode 98 - Not That One

February 27, 2023 20:03 - 1 hour - 49.8 MB

It's another one of those times where we started without a theme, but got one anyway: things that have the same title as more famous things! First of all, we're looking at the OTHER Ghostbusters, and how they deal with spaceships. Huh. And then we look at what happens when Dorothy returns to Oz, but not according to Disney. Turns out it's very similar to what happened the first time. Plus, Micah also returns to Oz, in a book where the increasingly sick-of-Oz Frank L. Baum starts importing ch...

Episode 97 - Journey to the Land of Wuzz

February 18, 2023 20:16 - 1 hour - 60 MB

For our theme this week, we picked forgotten or disliked cartoons that at least one of us enjoyed. We have one of Asia's million adaptations of Journey to the West, in this case made super cool for the 90's in the form of Monkey Magic. And we have the Disney animated series that didn't make it to the afternoon, starring the Wuzzles. Plus, Matsy discusses things that disappoint him about repeated visits to the Avatarverse (which is ironic) and repeated visits to Neo Edo with Samurai Rabbit: T...

Episode 96 - Animal Lovers

February 12, 2023 03:29 - 1 hour - 57.9 MB

For a fantastical Valentine's Day, let's look at love. First, we investigate what happens when a lonely sheep in a big city spots a kindred... coat of fur. And THEN we'll see what happens IF a mouse feels guilty about giving his best friend short shrift in exchange for delicious baked goods. Plus, Micah continues watching SUF, and also checks out some commentary for Speed Racer, while Matsy looks long and hard at what it means to be GM in a game of Avatar Legends. IF you listen to our podcas...

Episode 95 - Six Little Pigs and Other Tales

February 07, 2023 05:02 - 1 hour - 67.2 MB

Okay, so this time is all about animals, I guess. Bobo the elephant wants to join the circus, but first he needs to get on a boat for people. And two different versions of three little pigs are trying to evade wolves by ensconcing themselves in homes of varying levels of security. Wonder how that'll turn out. But the most dangerous animal is man, especially when men want to beat each other up for fun; they just didn't count on one of the men being Popeye! Plus, Matsy fills in the gaps in his...

Episode 94 - Troublemakers

January 28, 2023 20:13 - 1 hour - 66.6 MB

We had a theme of troublemakers, and it's funny how things work out sometimes; we each gave the other a cartoon we thought they'd hate, and then it turned out they didn't hate it as much as we did. Does that make sense? Let me explain. Matsy gave Micah an episode of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures that he thought was the worst thing since Ned's Newt, but it turned out Micah kinda liked it! And Micah gave Matsy an episode of Speed Racer that he thought would annoy him tremendously, but Ma...

Episode 93 - Two Triforces and a Microphone

January 21, 2023 22:07 - 1 hour - 62.8 MB

Kiss me, Princess. You've stumbled onto our discussion of The Legend of Zelda! We're watching what the internet has determined are the three best episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show's Friday afternoon Hylian diversions, so kiss me, Princess. First we get to see an alicorn... sorry, we get to see a FLYING UNICORN interrupt Link's attempts to get Zelda to kiss him. Then we see (kiss me, Princess) a questionable medieval waterpark with butt-shredding brick slides. And we finally get ri...

Episode92 - Definitely Still 2022

January 07, 2023 22:41 - 1 hour - 67 MB

Hey, we need to catch up on 2023! And we're going to catch up on things we always meant to give each other in 2022, but never found the time. Matsy, being a terrible friend, inflicted Ned's Newt upon us, while the benevolent Micah treated us to an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants that is... shocking. Good times were had by some! Plus, we look at our top 5 podcast things from 2022, Micah makes up another banger of a cartoon, and Matsy details the note he got from the doctor explaining why thi...

Episode 92 - Definitely Still 2022

January 07, 2023 22:41 - 1 hour - 67 MB

Hey, we need to catch up on 2023! And we're going to catch up on things we always meant to give each other in 2022, but never found the time. Matsy, being a terrible friend, inflicted Ned's Newt upon us, while the benevolent Micah treated us to an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants that is... shocking. Good times were had by some! Plus, we look at our top 5 podcast things from 2022, Micah makes up another banger of a cartoon, and Matsy details the note he got from the doctor explaining why thi...

Episode 91 - The Animation Cel-ery Christmas Special 3: The Second One

December 24, 2022 19:11 - 1 hour - 48.6 MB

Let's make it quick so you can get back to important holiday activities like listening to the previous 90 episodes again! We're going to watch some Christmas things, like Bill Plympton's rapid-fire storytelling of twisted Christmas tales, and Louie Anderson's cleaned-up recounting of his abusive childhood holidays. Plus, Matsy considers Ash Ketchum's retirement from the sport of Pokémon, and Micah makes up his own cartoons about stand-up comedians. I heard that. Cartoons in this episode: "1...

Episode 90 - Wintery Things and Star Wars

December 18, 2022 01:53 - 1 hour - 64.3 MB

Hey, come watch some cold cartoons with us! Micah has to watch a couple of things from the National Film Board of Canada, featuring a guy covering up his gross negligence and the utter scandal of a Habs fan having to rep the Leafs. Meanwhile, Matsy observes the gross negligence of the makers of 60's Popeye and an amusing look at the debut of Boba Fett in the Star Wars universe. Or... galaxy. Plus, Micah looks at someone look at Adventure Time trading cards and watches She-Ra steam toward its...

Episode 89 - STR 20

December 10, 2022 21:10 - 1 hour - 57.8 MB

Today we look at strength. That's pretty holiday-themed, right? We start by maxing out the scale with One Punch Man, who may or may not be the strongest man; we'll find out by the end of the episode. Then we look at The Simp- I mean, The Flintstones, and find out what it meant to be the strongest man-baby in prehistory. Plus, Matsy FINALLY gets to watch Viking Skool and see if it has any good bards, heroes, or wolf girls, while Micah checks on the state of tabletop RPGs and their accoutremen...

Episode 88 - For Kevin

December 03, 2022 22:02 - 1 hour - 57.4 MB

This week, we honor the world's greatest Batman, Kevin Conroy, by watching Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. A dark caped crusader is killing mobsters, and everyone thinks it's Batman. But Batman doesn't kill, so what gives? Is there a new costumed crimefighter in Gotham? On a completely unrelated note, Bruce Wayne's ex-fiance has also come back to town after ten years. That'll probably work out fine for him. Plus, Micah gets to the part of She-Ra with Mica and watches gothic anime The Girl from...

Episode 87 - NOW That’s What I Call Cartoons!

November 26, 2022 22:38 - 1 hour - 59.1 MB

Well, the idea was cartoons about celebrities, and we did that. But we also tapped into a very specific pool of celebrities, it turned out. Matsy has to watch The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, featuring young Koopalings who were still trying to figure out who they were and two very special guest stars who were not who they seemed. And Micah is watching Hammerman, which definitely has who it seemed to have as a celebrity star, but maybe didn't have as much as you'd think in the way of......

Episode 86 - Wildlife

November 19, 2022 22:07 - 1 hour - 66.4 MB

Today is for animals. We have two penguins, one cold and one not so much, one dealing with Smedley the dog and one dealing with Bugs the bunny. We also have a man who is also a spider, and he has to deal with an obsessed newsman and a ridiculous rob't. And then we have a bunch of weird Russian critters, walking. Plus, Micah updates us on the men of She-Ra and whether Wendell & Wild is worth watching, while Matsy leads us on a trip through fun place names. Your place is here, at Animation Cel...

Episode 85 - The Mustache vs. The Mustache

November 12, 2022 20:27 - 1 hour - 64.5 MB

Everybody got your Movember mustaches growing? Well, we've got you covered! The Tick has a mustache, apparently, and we're going to get to the bottom of where it came from. And then we'll look at how mustaches relate to puberty and plumbers in Gumball's amazing world. Plus, Matsy catches up with the Infinity Train, and Micah continues with She-Ra, Bee and Puppycat, and halflings. See ya. Cartoons in this episode: The Tick, "That Mustache Feeling" The Amazing World of Gumball, "The Mustache"...

Episode 84 - Mistakes Were Made

November 05, 2022 21:05 - 1 hour - 56.3 MB

Oh look, it's cartoons that get things wrong. Like this farm cartoon about a bull with udders. Or this space cartoon where you can basically forget everything you know about space, except don't actually because there'll be a quiz at the end! Plus, Micah considers Scorpia's anatomy (if you know what I mean) and makes up his own gritty reboot of The Flintstones, while Matsy remembers Jules Bass. Play this podcast loud, especially in space where everyone can definitely hear it! Cartoons in thi...

Episode 83 - Rock & Rule Rules

October 29, 2022 20:36 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

Hey, Matsy finally gets to talk about the movie he won't shut up about! It's the 1983 epic that almost ruined Nelvana, in which an aging rock star in post-apocalyptic furryland tries to reinvigorate his career by summoning the devil? How was this a box office failure?! Plus, Matsy remembers the time he watched an episode of Family Guy while playing lightsabers with Gary Coleman, and Micah gets into the spirit with Vampire Hunter D (along with his usual She-Ra and Simpsons). It's the biggest ...

Episode 82 - Spooky Weirdos

October 22, 2022 21:44 - 1 hour - 64.3 MB

Hey, here's something creepy: Animation Cel-ery! We're going to be watching a cartoon where Betty Boop listens to a ghost walrus sing Cab Calloway. Something from Russia about oddities going in a straight line. A ghost named Casper looking for friends, believe it or not. And anime robots accosting an anime drunk. Plus, Micah watches more of She-Ra and The Simpsons, while Matsy terrifies himself with the most embarrassing corner of Ren & Stimpy's canon. Cartoons in this episode: "Minnie the ...

Episode 81 - Bump n’ Bugs

October 15, 2022 21:48 - 1 hour - 68.6 MB

What's theoretically scary in content but actually scary in execution? Let's find out! We'll start with Bump in the Night, in which the monster under the bed is a baby and fights a bread. And then we'll watch The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa do the things you totally expect The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa to do: play Katamari Damacy and spend the night in a haunted house. Plus, Micah gives us his hottest takes on She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and Matsy continues his horror month by wa...

Episode 80 - Ozzy and the Boys

October 08, 2022 22:08 - 1 hour - 46.8 MB

Why does this podcast exist? No one can answer that question, but maybe we'll have better luck figuring out why these cartoons exist. The first one has a cat named Oggy and several cockroaches, and things ensue; like Oggy playing with a toy train as an alternative to video games, or Oggy being harassed by a ravenous robot mouse, or Oggy... being pregnant? Okay. And then there's another thing called Cipher, and I don't even know. It definitely has twins in it and takes place at least partiall...

Episode 79 - Felidae+

October 01, 2022 22:32 - 1 hour - 51.4 MB

This week on Animation Cel-ery, we're watching a movie from Germany about a feline detective investigating a serial killer of felines. Or... at least half of us are. Half of us might have something else in mind. You'll have to listen to find out! Plus, Matsy rambles about some things like Don't Hug Me I'm Scared and whatever, and Micah watches Rilakkuma's Theme Park Adventure. Good times all around!   Movie(s) in this episode: "Felidae" ???

Episode 78 - Flipperboobootosis and Friends

September 25, 2022 01:10 - 1 hour - 60.5 MB

This is the time for us to watch some more short cartoons. We're going to watch a marriage dissolve thanks to a dispute about unicorns. We're going to watch modern day Mickey, Donald and Goofy deal with important subjects like nudity and health care. We'll watch what happens when a 4-year-old is conscripted into the military. And we're going to watch Popeye walk a dog, which is more interesting than it sounds. Plus, Micah checks out the reincarnation of Bee and Puppycat and a movie called Dr...

Episode 77 - The Telethon

September 18, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 74.7 MB

Hello, supporters! Please pledge your downloads to this important return to TOYS 4 BOYS! We're watching the failed pilot for a cartoon about Madballs, in which theoretically gross balls are absolutely prohibited from playing music. Yay. And then we're watching a more successful pilot about Visionaries, in which post-modern-day knights endure the whims of a fickle dungeon master as he tries to give them some holographic magic. Plus, Matsy plays Splatoon 3, and Micah ranks kings and queens and...

Episode 76 - (Annoyed Grunt)

September 10, 2022 21:12 - 1 hour - 68.7 MB

Parodies! Let's talk about 'em. We have that one episode of The Simpsons that was a parody of something. What's that? You want me to narrow it down? It's the one with Sherri Bobbins. And then we have that one episode of Dexter's Laboratory... actually, TWO episodes of Dexter's Laboratory! Bonus! And each one has three segments! All the Dexter you could ever want! Plus, Micah checks in on JoJo's bizarre character designs, and Matsy doesn't do anything because he's too busy looking forward to ...

Episode 75 - Where There’s Five .WAV’s, There’s a Way

September 04, 2022 20:13 - 1 hour - 69.8 MB

Okay, this episode was really cursed; it took two joint recording sessions, two solo recording sessions, and two editing sessions to produce. So please excuse our dust as we try to watch Rankin Bass's animated version of The Return of the King! There's these two hobbits, and they need to destroy a ring. Sounds easy, right? Yeah, everything seems easy until you try to do it. Plus, Matsy opens up another My Little Pony blind box thing and talks AGAIN about ANOTHER re-launch of Beavis & Butt-He...

Episode 74 - Books and Mooses

August 28, 2022 05:51 - 1 hour - 74.2 MB

In this one we watch two cartoons about Mickey Mouse hunting the enraged bull moose, a cartoon about books coming to life, and... wait, I have to slow down here. It says "The Hobbit?" That can't be right. Well, I guess we're watching The Hobbit! Plus, Micah checks on the latest in tabletop RPGs, including NOT Dungeons & Dragons Sixth Edition and something about Alethrion, and investigates the latest in the apparently endless stream of He-Man reboots, while Matsy gets annoyed at character des...

Episode 73 - Mr. Delicious

August 20, 2022 20:19 - 1 hour - 75.4 MB

What can be better than food? Let's look at some cartoons about food. There's an anime called Silver Spoon about a guy in farm school, and he gets conscripted into making pizza for everyone. We watched that one. Also there's a The Mr. Men Show, based on those books, remember? Anyway, that show has a zillion segments about food and food accessories, so we watched two of those. Plus, Matsy watched Nintendo talk about Splatoon 3 and its questionable new idols, Disney's new thing about chibi-ize...

Episode 72 - The Ballad of Lemongrab

August 14, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 87.6 MB

Today is the day where we watch a bunch of Adventure Time. Specifically, the episodes dealing with everyone's favorite unacceptable weirdo, the Earl of Lemongrab. We'll see his meteoric rise from shrill dictator, to two breeding fetishists, to one fat dictator, to a relatively benevolent overseer of citric monstrosities. Plus, Micah recommends Maya and the Three, and pays a visit to historic bathhouses in Thermae Romae Novae, while Matsy checks to see how many poops and farts are in The Bob'...

Episode 71 - Toitles

August 06, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 82.6 MB

It's time for the summer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles special, so here we go. Let's see, we've got one where the villainous Shredder gets brainwashed into thinking he's Michelangelo and Michelangelo gets brainwashed into a hunger strike. Here's an Easter one where the turtles have to go to a fairy tale dimension to save the city from the Shredder's secret, nationally broadcasted evil plans. Then Michelangelo is back for the ol' "everyone pretends to forget their friend's birthday so they can...

Episode 70 - Past and Future Blockheads

July 31, 2022 02:32 - 1 hour - 61.8 MB

Let's think about the past. Let's think about the future. Let's watch Felix the Cat show us why prohibition was a good idea. Let's watch the 1938 world's fair show us the marvels of the future. Let's see what happens if a woodcarver carves a puppet son and no fairies show up. And let's see how those marvels of the future are working out for the illustrious Mr. Widdershins. Plus, Micah watches an apocalyptic future where there are bubbles in Bubble, and Matsy watches a future in which everybo...

Episode 69 - A Podcast Divided (Part 2)

July 23, 2022 18:08 - 1 hour - 66.2 MB

It's time to finish what we started, by watching the second part of two-parters we started watching last week. Got it? First, the Decepticons have made cars, so what's an Autobot to do? Make planes, obviously, though it seems like airplane robots are naturally predisposed to being jerks. Hm. Then, we have to see how Bob and Mr. Fischoeder are making out after being held at gunpoint by Felix. Will the terrible Belchers be able to rescue the one competent member of their family? Plus, Matsy to...

Episode 68 - A Podcast Divided (Part 1)

July 16, 2022 19:52 - 1 hour - 66.7 MB

Oh no! Our innocent idea to review both parts of two-part episodes has caused dissention! Micah can't stand Bob's Burgers' crisis over whether to sell or not sell Wonder Wharf, while Matsy thinks it's one of the better episodes of an okay series. Fortunately, we can find common ground with The Transformers, though maybe Megatron's jealousy over the Autobots' ability to turn into cars while Decepticons can only be stupid planes is a bit dubious. Plus, Micah heads down the home stretch of My L...

Episode 67 - On Cowards

July 09, 2022 19:11 - 1 hour - 68.6 MB

The theme is cowards this time, but don't be scared; there's some pretty good stuff in here! For example, the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon. You gotta check out what happens when a flippant DM sends a party of 2nd level adventurers to fight a beholder with only a Frank Welker terrified of everything and a flower to help them. And then there's Lost in Oz, which is a surprisingly good cyberpunk take on The Wizard of Oz? Man, cloaking technology is the best thing that could have happened to an Ozi...

Episode 66 - Thanks Obomsawin

July 02, 2022 20:26 - 1 hour - 70.6 MB

It's Canada Day, and that means we're looking at cartoons from the National Film Board! We'll watch a Norwegian lady with a prestigious responsibility help bring down the Nazi regime. We'll watch a fisherman save two Haida from the wrath of a scorned orca. We'll watch a young girl bounce back and forth between Canada and France. And (unrelated) we'll watch France's economy crumble. Not a lot of Canada there, actually. Plus, Micah looks out for Kotaro, who is living alone, checks out more Tal...

Episode 65 - Friendship is Something

June 25, 2022 18:53 - 1 hour - 67.9 MB

It's just now, as I'm writing this, that I realize that these cartoons kind of have a theme of friendship and relationships. Don't they? You tell me. The first one is about a fox who makes friends with crows and inmates as he tries to find a better life at a fox fur farm. Then Foghorn Leghorn tries to make a friend with benefits - the main benefit being a decent home - but runs afoul (a-fowl) of a foundling chicken hawk. Third, two guys are stuck with each other thanks to a torn treasure map...

Episode 64 - An Extremely Goofy Podcast

June 18, 2022 18:37 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

Happy Father's Day once again! And once again we dive into the Goof Troop extended universe with the straight-to-video finale, An Extremely Goofy Movie. Watch Max finally head to college to get away from his father and focus on what's really important - skateboards - only to find his father following along to embarrass him that much more. Gaze in wonder at the hot canine college girls, librarians and beatniks, and ponder whether they have ears, or even names. And... I guess that covers it, r...

Episode 63 - Dogs and Monsters

June 11, 2022 17:56 - 1 hour - 62.1 MB

In this exciting post-COVID episode of Animation Celery, we're going to watch a couple of things with no unifying theme! First, we watch the alchemists at Filmation mix Dracula, the wolfman, Frankenstein's monster, Sabrina the teenage witch, and Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In together in their big cauldron and see what comedy gold comes out. Then, we'll watch what happens when you let 101 Dalmatians live in a house with no human supervision. Apparently they go seeking human supervision. Plus, Mat...

Episode 62 - The Bad Episode Episode

June 04, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 69.1 MB

In the long-awaited sequel to our episode about our favorite episodes, here's our episode about our least favorite episodes! First, Micah watches the episode of Captain N: The Game Master that focuses on Mega Man, and has to endure Mega Man mega fan Matsy explaining everything that's wrong with it. Then, Matsy watches an episode of Tiny Toon Adventures that lies to the children of 1990 about how much the cosmetics industry relies on whales, in addition to being incompetently made. Plus, Mica...

Episode 61 - S.W.A.T. Kats: The Radical Podcast

May 28, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 81.3 MB

It's just what the title says this time. We're watching four episodes of S.W.A.T. Kats: The Radical Squadron, to see how it holds up all these years later, or even to see what it is. We'll see a villain fixated on the past fixate on his book. We'll see a villain fixated on blowing up Megakat City, and learn about the S.W.A.T. Kats past in the process. We'll see that same villain fixated on the past control mummies with laser guns, and meet the world's most courageous robot. And we'll see tha...

Episode 60 - Only Happy When It Rains

May 21, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 55.7 MB

Hi. It's been raining in Vancouver lately (when is it not?), so we decided to watch some cartoons about the rain. We'll watch a young parrot try to take after his seafaring father, only to be stymied by inclement weather. We'll watch a kid help a fox collect water for mysterious reasons. We'll watch the life cycle of the rain, as animated by the National Film Board of Canada. And we'll watch... a war story from China. Plus, Micah starts development on the official Animation Cel-ery platform ...

Episode 59 - Sports Day

May 07, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 56.9 MB

We're talking about sports this week, and in doing so, we've stumbled upon two famous/infamous cartoons that everyone wants to talk about! First, we watch little ponies learn the best way to play Buckball in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And then we watch the Mario Bros. participate in a dubious bike race in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Can you believe these two cartoons are in the same podcast? Plus, Matsy regales us with his Stanley Cup Playoff picks, while Micah catches us up ...

Episode 58 - Staunch Opposition to Kicking Women

May 01, 2022 02:50 - 1 hour - 64.7 MB

Time for some shorts! First, we'll watch the nearsighted Mr. Magoo entrusted with the care of baby Homer. Maybe this is what happened to Homer Simpson. Next, a few tales from the Wizard of Oz will show us how to deal with various stomach ailments. We'll check out the Pink Panther and Little Man as they invent the sport that will sweep the squid-kid world after the icecaps melt. And of course, we'll watch Olive Oyl learn to stand up for herself when a shocking turn of events leads to HER havi...

Episode 57 - It’s Laser Time!

April 23, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 67.8 MB

It's about time we took at look at 1993's 3D pioneer of animation, The Bots Master. Watch Ziv Zulander (ZZ for short) try to take down the corp with his elite cadre of goofy Brain Operated Young Zygoetopic Zoids. And make sure you come equipped with a single sunglasses lens for Laser Time! Plus, we remember Gilbert Gottfried, talk a little more about Little Audrey, ponder various fringe tabletop RPG systems, consider whether D4s are worth anything, marvel at the many lives of Aqua Teen Hunge...

Episode 56 - What’s New is Old

April 16, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MB

Now for part 2, where we look at older versions of what we looked at last week! First, in Batman: The Animated Series, Batman investigates a clever new gang full of dummies... but which dummy is the brains of the operation? And then, in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy and Ozma make an unscheduled visit to the land of paper, where they investigate Miss Cuttenclip and Mr. Fuddle. Hey, both these cartoons have sentient wood products! Plus, Micah fulfills a listener request to investigate Th...

Episode 55 - What’s Old is New

April 09, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 60.5 MB

Welcome to part 1 of our two-part extravaganza, in which we're looking at new takes on old ideas. First up is Batman: The Brave and the Bold, featuring Batman teaming up with obscure 70's DC hero Kamandi to save a post-apocalyptic future from Gorilla Grodd. Then, in Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, our favorite gemstone footwear aficionado has to recover her dognapped pet and prove that she's a REAL Ozian. Plus, Matsy checks on season 2 of The Owl House to see if Luz and Amity do the thing, whi...

Episode 54 - Podcasting in the 21 1/4th Century

April 02, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 52.2 MB

For this week's cartoons, we examine the only theatrical short series Hanna Barbara ever produced, featuring nice-guy wolf Loopy de Loup trying to return a stolen baa-baa to a foul-mouthed sheepdog; we watch Little Audrey learn the consequences of being good with guns; we watch Duck Dodgers attempt colonization some four and a half centuries after it's gone out of vogue; and we watch a student film from Denmark that depicts either Centaurworld, Dark Souls, or maybe social anxiety. Plus, Mica...

Episode 53 - Crime-Fighter Combat

March 26, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 64.9 MB

This week on Animation Celery, we're pitting two ostensibly similar shows against each other to see which is superior: C.O.P.S. or Bionic Six! The Central Organization of Police Specialists is going to face down not one but two weirdos who deal in bugs, and are going to thwart a criminal mastermind whose mother is already doing a fine job of thwarting him. Meanwhile, the Bionic Six are going to face down not one but three weirdos who want to... do crimes, I guess, and also look after an apoc...
