my favorite pair of shorts

by **evilmidget** » Sun Oct 03, 2010 10:24 am

I love shorts, I really do. Especially really obscure ones like the cartoons featured on the Spike and Mike DVDs. I find it interesting how some shorts can be so much enjoyable than something lasting twenty two minutes. Like this one for example:

As well as the works of Sally Cruikshank (and not just her work from SS)

So what is YOUR favorite pair of shorts?

This one's just got *everything*. I dare you to find something you *don't* love about it!

of course, i've always been fond of the oldies...

Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood

and

Tex Avery's Swing Shift Cinderella

yes, i am aware that they are essentially the same cartoon. Avery had such success with Red Hot that he figured "if it ain't broke..." and applied the same treatment to Cinderella.

i do so love the "quick drink" gag in each of these. it just never gets old for me...

God, i loved Tex's work. Essentially, his cartoons were what adult swim is today. Darn shame Toon Heads isn't around any more; that's where I remember watching Tex's work the most.
