today's Cartoonsday is dedicated to Mr. Don Cornelius. R.I.P. 

Soul Train (opening animated train) 1971

i never had cable growing up, so on Saturday afternoon, after i had burned through The Littles and an ABC weekend special (ie. COUGAR! -no one remembers this movie except my friend Jamie), I'd sit and watch people strut & shake their shit on Soul Train. and of course everyone's favorite part, THE SOUL TRAIN LINE:

Thank you, Don. “As always in parting, we wish you love, peace and soul!”

i'll make sure to do a little shuffle down the hall for you today.

Cartoonsday! 

Muppet Babies-Nice to Have Gnome You 1990 w/ clips from Labyrinth & The Witches. :)

i was never too fond of the Muppets, but i loved the Muppet Babies cartoon. i don't know how that makes sense, but it probably has to do with the fact that I had one of lamest toys ever which was a magnetic board that was a picture of the Babies room with a set of flat plastic magnets, which were the Babies. i'd play with that thing for hours. my childhood, everyone. 

PART 2

PART 3
