Stop - Look - Listen!

Remember kids - if you can, drop a few shekels into the cup!













And now, time for a cinema classic - the pioneering animators Len Janson and the late Chuck Menville in "Stop Look and Listen"!



Some of our older viewers may remember this as the basis for a series of old "Gulf" gasoline commercials...

You can read a little about Janson and Menville here - and see a couple of their later films!

I realize it's kind of cheeky for someone with a blog that hasn't been updated in over two weeks to request donations, but like I said - we're on the edge!

So thanks...

UPDATE: To give this a little more entertainment value, I'm posting selections from my YouTube "favorites". Here's Peter Cook and Dudley Moore doing an awesome parody of Gerry Anderson's "Supermarionette" TV shows. Enjoy, effendi!
