Another great movie with amazing effects and storytelling is "Ready Player One". Wonderful cinematography, creative characters and visuals. The story unfolds pretty will and it features a lot of "nods" to other movies, video games and cartoons. Really worth a watch!

"When I was 9 years old, I went to a book fair behind a church in rural New Hampshire. I was allowed to pick out two books. I really wanted the Gary Larson cartoons (the stuff that guy does with woodland creatures!)."

Cartoon life on the other side
Comedy, drama, suspense, action all thrown into this reversal of how cartoons really live along with humans. Lloyd portrays the evil bad guy and really gives the preformace of a lifetime as he usually is seen as the comic relief.

Great conversation
An absolute gem. Comedians talking passionately about something that makes them laugh. Really knowledgeable hosts who see the funny side and expand upon their guests' ideas. The conversation flows naturally as they unpack the humour from a wide range of sources - books, LPs television, films, cartoons. Not always the usual suspects. Have come out of every episode having laughed and having learnt something.
  
Microman USA is a book of political cartoons, focusing on anti-socialism, the Tea Party Movement, and… lunch. Microman really likes lunch. You’ll have to read the book to know why.

The concept behind Microman is simple: Stop worrying about the country’s problems, because they’re not yours to worry about… and live in your own life, socialize with your neighbors, be with your family, and only get involved with politics when you absolutely have to. Focus on you. Focus on the small community… hence Microman.

It’s a great philosophy, and Microman shares my viewpoint on politics… but half of the cartoons weren’t what I expected. I was expecting political cartoons to be funny, witty, and a little sarcastic. These weren’t that entertaining. They had their points, they were interesting, and the characters said some good stuff, but they just weren’t funny… to me anyway. Please know that this has nothing to do with not knowing what politician they’re talking about, or the like. I understood them all, they just weren’t what I expected.

Microman has it’s goods and it’s not-so-goods. Not so good for the reasons I just explained, but good for it’s straight-forward viewpoints on socialism, the community, and the philosophy about living in your life, not your politician’s.

"Oh I just love Fantasia. I played that for my nephew when he was two, and I don’t believe in popping children in front of the television as a babysitter, but I feel like, you know what? “I’m introducing you to classical music; I’m introducing you to classic cartoons, so watch it!” It’s a beautiful way to take music and to take your mind to a place of no words."

this is the first book by this author that ive read. The cover and the book title dont seem to match the story, but the story is well written. The book can be a little hard to read read in places but stick with it cause it is a good read. The characters were very interesting and the cartoons were a nice touch to the book.

Would recommend
