Classic Cartoon of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today is the 60th anniversary of the classic Looney Tunes<\/strong> animated short Hyde and Hare<\/em><\/strong>, starring Bugs Bunny<\/strong>, directed by Friz Freleng<\/strong> and inspired by Strange Case of<\/em> Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde<\/em>. Watch it in full below but with just the score track, featuring pre-recording material from the studio.<\/p>\n

Movies in Real Life:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Someone made a real-life version of Luxo Jr.<\/strong>, the lamp who starred in Pixar<\/strong>‘s very first short film and now features as part of their logo. Watch him in action (via Live for Films<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Vintage Image of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Debbie Reynolds<\/strong> and daughter Carrie Fisher<\/strong>, late 1950s. Reynolds was just announced for an honorary Oscar this fall, and Fisher is surely going to be tasked with presenting the award.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Amusement Park of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve already shared photos of Banksy<\/strong>‘s Disneyland<\/strong> parody project, Dismaland, but now there’s also a great trailer for the “bemusement park” (via \/Film<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Who knew Matilda<\/em><\/strong> and Chronicle<\/em><\/strong> are the same movie? Couch Tomato did:<\/p>\n

Classic Trailer of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This Saturday marks the 50th anniversary of the premiere of Pierrot le Fou<\/em><\/strong> at the Venice Film Festival. It’s one of Jean-Luc<\/strong> Godard<\/strong>‘s best movies, if not the best. Watch the original trailer for its US release, which came many years later, below.<\/p>\n
