In 1991, when Michael J. Fox hosted SNL to promote THE HARD WAY, Fox and Doc Brown from the future storm the stage to warn him the show's going to bomb unless he travels back in time to save the show 😂 One of the best monologues the show ever did
@fOx1257067 Now I'm thinking about this other cartoon. It was about a seal. I think it was about a white seal. It lived on a hidden part of an island. I wonder if Chuck Jones worked on it too. Because I thought both cartoons had a similar look.
Released in 1975, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was an animated television special directed by legendary animator Chuck Jones and based on the classic story by Rudyard Kipling.
The story follows a brave mongoose who takes on two deadly cobras to protect the family that rescued him. For a generation of kids, it was one of those rare animated films that felt genuinely intense. The stakes were real, the villains were terrifying, and you couldn't help but root for Rikki-Tikki every step of the way.
More than 50 years later, it's still remembered as one of the finest animated adaptations ever put on television.
Did you watch Rikki-Tikki-Tavi growing up?

@jason_brant With the Walker Texas Ranger TV movies. The pilot movie had normal music for an action movie. The rest of the movies, I did notice the quality of the music went down.
@jason_brant Hi. The Japanese movie I sent Deep Contact. I figured if it was released in US movie theaters it would get an R rating. Because of the nudity, female breasts and butts. I don't know if you two saw that it was 61 minutes long.
Happy Anniversary to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, released in the U.S. for SNES on April 13, 1992! 🎉❤️ It was initially released in Japan on November 21, 1991.
Nintendo Power’s 100th issue named ALttP the second greatest game of all time, and the title frequently and deservedly appears on similar lists to this day. ALttP expanded the mythos of Hyrule in an incredible way. I loved the lore-rich journey to rescue the descendants of the Seven Sages and defeat Ganon, along with the innovative transition between the Light and Dark Worlds.
One fun but unconfirmed mystery is the rationale for Link’s pink hair. It is unusual that Link’s hair appears dark blonde or light brown in the game manual, but pink in the sprite. There are several theories for why Link had pink hair in ALttP.
Some also theorize the pink hair was a design choice meant to help the sprite stand out, creating contrast on CRT displays and preventing it from blending into the environment. In 2006, a Zelda Universe poster (Snarwin) offered another theory that the pink hair resulted from Link’s bunny transformation in the Dark World, which in turn limited the available 16-bit color palette.
Interestingly, there is an issue of Monthly Shōnen Captain from May 18, 1986, where a pink-haired female character resembling Link appears alongside a guide to the early sections of the original game. It is believed this was discovered by Melora of History of Hyrule and kazzykazycom several years ago. One theory is that this character is cosplaying Link. The article appeared months after the game’s release, so it is unlikely the design choice was accidental. Learning about the Monthly Shōnen art immediately made me think of ALttP, so I thought it would be fun to recreate it for this occasion 🤭
Though so many Zelda games have touched my life in their own special way, I would have to say ALttP is my favorite of them all ❤️
(Also if you’re free this weekend, I’m going to start my Zelda II stream Saturday evening! I finished Zelda 1 a few weeks ago! I’m also doing Turtles in Time Wednesday evening 😊)
On this day in 1984, a shocker.
It was finally revealed that The Beatles stole all their ideas from Clarence Walker when the Beatles were originally known as The Clarences.
