nsallieharding Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Last December TCM played great Christmas and Seasonal Shorts and cartoons in-between the movies starting about a week before christmas. I would tune in even if I didn't want to see the movie because I didn't want to miss a great holiday cartoon or special feature. Hopefully some goodies are in the works for this year, including some Short Features that are in the Holiday spirit, and some black and white cartoons that are rarely shown.

movieman1957 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 If you ever get a chance and have never seen it you have to catch the WB cartoon with Sniffles the mouse. I don't know the actual name of the cartoon but he is trying as hard as he can to stay awake to see Santa. It's a nice, sweet cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsallieharding Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 TCM had Sniffles the mouse in widescreen last year, about three of his cartoons. I loved the one about the owl telling all the other animals about man and how war destroyed their civilization. He was reading from the Bible and giving them the message that "Thou Shall Not Kill".I stayed up all night Christmas Eve recording all the ones that I was able to stay awake for, but I didn't get them all (like Sniffles, I fell asleep). It was a darn shame that they kept interupting the cartoons with those movies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
path40a Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 You're in luck. There is a Sniffles cartoon as part of the cartoon alley on December 17th. Check the schedule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnL Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 YES!!! "Bedtime for Sniffles" was always one of my favorites as a child, and I was so happy to find it on TCM. I will be looking forward to more episodes of "Cartoon Alley." It would be nice to see another favorite, Harman-Ising's "To Spring," which I haven't seen in years. It would be perfect for a spring-themed show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsallieharding Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 TCM is showing more cartoons inbetween films lately. They had a (1935)"Happy Harmonies" Hugh Harmon - Rudolf Ising "Good Little Monkies" on last night and another cartoon tonight. I hope they keep this up.

Princiss Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I Love Love the Joe McDoakes serials. In fact, I had a bunch of them on 16mm.. a few great ones and I sold them on Ebay a few years back. How I regret doing that now. I was able to find a few on DVD such a Marx Brothers DVD and I also found one on VHS. I hope that TCM plays all of them. My favorite one is when Joe is involved in a bookie scam and also another one when Joe is forced to go to a nightclub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
