<p>Since publishing this article, a few URLs have been updated, most noticeably changing Bruno's link from <a href="https://gamerboypee.neocities.org"><tt>gamerboypee.neocities.org</tt></a> to <a href="https://yourdevilfriends.art"><tt>yourdevilfriends.art</tt>. The URL to NeoZones has also been updated from <a href="https://neozones.neocities.org">the old Neocities version</a> to the <a href="https://neozones.club">current one</a> (the page contents are still the same).</a></p>

<p>While by no means <em>a perfect</em> movie, George A. Romero's <em>Night of the Living Dead</em> is a classic - why? Well, for a few reasons, first of all, it's the first modern zombie movie. There <em>were</em> quote-on-quote &#xAB;zombie&#xBB; movies before this point, most notably 1932's <em><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/white-zombie">White Zombie</a></em>, but these movies were more about a person who was under the control of a puppet master and had to do their bidding - so, not what we think of when we hear the word zombie today.</p>

<p>Due to it being out of copyright, the movie can be found very easily on places like YouTube for free, so look out for those, plus there are a few recolors that you can find around the place if that's your thing.</p>

<p>Talkartoons was crazy. Being made up of 42 cartoons by Fleischer Studios, it is full of loads of underrated cartoons now forgotten, <a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/barnacle-bill">Barnacle Bill (1930)</a>, <a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/up-to-mars">Up To Mars (1930)</a>, <a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/bimbos-initiation">Bimbo's Initiation (1931)</a>, <a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/minnie-the-moocher">Minnie the Moocher (1932)</a>, plus a large number of others, only to name a few. Out of the lot, <em>Swing You Sinners!</em> is up there with being the most <em>out there</em> of the lot. With a runtime of *<em>checks runtime</em>* eight minutes, it somehow manages to become a fantastic nightmare packed all in with an enjoyable song that is all over the place in the best way possible.</p>

<p>It's absolutely crazy and the animation only helps thanks to the whacky way that all of the characters move. A little disclaimer, the cartoon as a whole does not have a really amazing plot at all, Bimbo the dog tries to steal a chicken from a farmer, a policeman tries to stop him, and then Bimbo goes to a graveyard where the real fun starts - there's music, there's horror, and the ending? Well, just look up the cartoon and see.</p>

<p>As this one is so short, honorable mention to the pre-stated Bimbo's Initiation as a must-watch. It's not as crazy as Swing You Sinners!, but is a lot of fun.</p>

<p><em>Hey Alexa, search the Web for &#xAB;Does The Dog Die in The Plague Dogs&#xBB;...?</em></p>

<p>So kids, you've ever heard of that one movie from the '70s called <a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/watership-down">Watership Down</a> about those cute little rabbits who have to fight for their lives and some even get killed in grizzly ways? Welp, they made another film like that but this time... with dogs! <img src="/emoji/expressions/smileys/happy_fun/big_smile.svg" title="A Mutant Standard Emoji showing a happy smiling face (&#x1F603;)." alt="A Mutant Standard Emoji showing a happy smiling face (&#x1F603;)." width="19" height="19"> Oh boy, they sure did and it's a story about the continuous struggle of two dogs and their attempt to not only escape from a cruel animal testing lab but as well as their friendship. It's a slow burn of a movie, but it really does pull at your heart in a way that makes you feel hollow inside.</p>

<!-- The following text was ripped from my own Letterboxd review lmao -->

<p>I enjoyed how this movie was not shy in what it showed from animal abuse to the straight-up death of not one, but <strong>two</strong> people. What I also enjoyed was the audio clips of the humans talking over the phone and in parliament, I felt like it really added a whole lot more weight to what was happening to the main cast that could never catch a break.</p>

<p>It's well worth a watch if you have not yet done so, personally, I made the odd step to watch this movie in the same room as my two dogs, so that was something. Somehow, despite having so much... horror? Upsetting? Scenes in the movie, <a href="https://www.bbfc.co.uk/release/the-plague-dogs-q29sbgvjdglvbjpwwc0zmdgzmtq">it was only given the rating of a PG</a>, some come on kids, let's stick this DVD on!</p>

<p>While this was made by the same people who brought you Watership Down, the film does not share any of the same characters, so you don't need to watch that movie before this one (although Watership Down really is worth a watch).</p>
