DVD Thoughts: The UPA Jolly Frolics Collection

"Man cannot live by anime alone" seems just about self-evident to me. There are also times, though, when it begins to feel a bit like a reproach. I suppose that where some move on to an interest in Japanese or East Asian culture that doesn't need to involve "drawings" and others now find long-format stories of the fantastic told in "live action" over here, I've thought I want to take in more of where I came from in the first place, animation in all forms... but when I'm still working my way little by little through the DVD sets of Batman: The Animated Series, there seems an indication of priorities and the risk of a narrowed viewpoint. (I suppose I'm also watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but it might just be that some combination of "computer animation" and thinking of it as "Star Wars" first somehow keeps it from filling some "animation quota"; in any case, rewatching the DVD sets of it is also slow going.)
