[78-L] if you are interest in very early cartoons

[Bart]

Thanks for this reference.  I didn't even know there ever were Krazy Kat 
animated cartoons, but liked the comic strips I've read in reprints. 

Poking around on the site a little bit I discovered "Sita Sings the 
Blues", a wonderful animated film.  Perhaps it has already been 
discussed on the list and I'm late to the party, but for anyone 
unfamiliar with it, it is a light hearted retelling of some of the tales
in the Indian epic, the Ramayana, set to the music of Annette Hanshaw.

Which also might be a partial answer to the question in another thread, 
"The Future of Jazz?"

For those interested, the entire film is available for viewing (with the 
film maker's blessing) on several websites which can be found  at
