We were talking, the other day, with Jack, the four-year-old arts critic, and he told us he was very impressed by the remastering of several classic cartoons by the elves at the Walt Disney studios--cartoons drawn in the pre-computer age, which was about as labor intensive as an activity could be.
We agreed with Jack that Mickey Mouse is a hero for the ages, accompanied by Minnie, his demure inamorata; Pluto, the faithful pooch; and Goofy, who might have been the model for Kramer on "Seinfeld."
But there are others in Mickey's tales to remember and toast--that lovely couple, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow; brave Captain Doberman; and even Mickey's arch-enemy, Peg-Leg Pete.
Time to go back and spend the holidays with them--and then we'll drop in on Donald and Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie. And we hope that Scrooge McDuck will have had a change of attitude before Christmas Eve.
