You've got a friend in me,

You've got a friend in me,

When the road looks rough ahead

And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed,

You just remember what your old pal said

'Cause you've got a friend in me.

 

Here is a Kid vs. Kat fanfiction, which was a collab between my good friend brave kid and I(He had the initial idea, and I wrote the story), which is the first in a series he and I will be writing in the future. In this reimagining/retelling of the series, Mr. Kat, now an intergalactic reporter rather than an evil villain, tires of his humdrum life on his home planet. When he's given the opportunity to search for a news story on a new planet, he jumps at the chance, but is unfortunately thrown off course by his foe the evil hamster Eeks and crash lands on Earth. Upon being discovered by the Burtonburger family, he's soon adopted by them...but what might happen when his secret is discovered? Please enjoy!

Happy Anniversary, Mickey Mouse and Powerpuff Girls!

 

Today marks the 85th anniversary of a certain famous mouse, and the 15th anniversary of three certain famous little superheroes. Whether by magically manipulating mops or mashing monsters, these folks have made the world of cartoons and movies a better place. Happy anniversary, Mickey, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup! Here's to many more wonderful years. :)

 

 

So, once again, cartoons are saved, thanks...to the Powerpuff Girls...with help from Mickey Mouse.

Music Showcase: It's Not Easy by Sean Marshall and Helen Reddy

A heartwarming song from the Disney classic Pete's Dragon, sung by Sean Marshall(who played Pete in the movie) and '70s songstress Helen Reddy, set to Disney's Ugly Duckling cartoon.(This is a good song to listen to while reading the book in the previous post.) Please enjoy!

A box of tissues comes highly reccommended while listening to this song. :*) 

Music Showcase: I Hear Music by Peggy Lee

A very feel-good song by the legendary Peggy Lee, who's well known for her work on Disney's Lady and the Tramp. Please enjoy!

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Bookstore: Orangutan Tongs by Jon Agee

A mouthful of mush.

 

 

This very humorous book of tongue-twisting poems by the Palindrome King himself contains such profundities as the situation of an orangutan who has trouble eating his meal at a restaurant, the kind of noise that annoys a noisy oyster, the triumphs of a bubble gum blowing champ, the disadvantages of getting on the bad side of either an overeager ogre or a surly soldier, the things that a dodo'll do, the ways of a club for people who only use purple paper, and the unfortunate breakup between Patty Petty and Pete. If you like wacky poems, you like tongue twisters, and especially if you like wacky tongue-twisting poems, this is the book for you!

 

 

Here are a couple of my faves:

She can read readin' when it's writ', but she can't read writin' now that it's wrote! :-D

 

Some moose like Moose Munch and Moose Tracks ice cream.

Classic Cartoon Showcase: Funny Little Bunnies

This adorable little classic follows several(super cute!) little Easter bunnies as they prepare for Easter. Please enjoy!

Classic Cartoon Showcase: Before They Were Stars: Donald Duck in The Wise Little Hen

Here, in the spirit of the previous post, is Donald Duck's first-ever cartoon! In this classic rendition of the tale of the Little Red Hen, the titular hen finds a kernel of corn which she plans to plant and harvest. The only problem is, she can't convince lazy Donald Duck and Peter Pig to help her with any of the work! What will she do? Please enjoy!

 

 

Fun Fact: Donald's buddy Peter Pig was voiced, like Donald himself, by Clarence "Ducky" Nash; apparently, according to Walt Disney, the reason Peter disappeared after this cartoon was that his voice was even more unintelligible than Donald's. Peter did, however, eventually migrate to the comics, where this wasn't a problem. 

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Bookstore:Donald Duck in A Christmas for Shacktown by Carl Barks

Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

He's my little pal,



Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

Daisy is his gal,

Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

In his sailor suit,

Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

Gee, I think he's cute!

I love the way he waddles and I like to hear him talk,

And when somebody makes him mad,

QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! How he can squawk!

Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

Cocky as can be,

Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

Here's what he taught me,

When someone knocks you down,

Get right up again,

Show some pluck like Donald Duck,

QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!

 

 

 

The second volume in Carl Bark's ever popular Donald Duck series, this high-quality collection catalogues the further adventures of a certain famous duck, his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, his girlfriend Daisy, his Uncle Scrooge, and guest pest Gladstone Gander. Some must-reads are:

 

 

A Christmas for Shacktown-Donald, Daisy, and the kids all want to chip in money to make a good Christmas for the impoverished families of Shacktown. There's just one tiny little itsy-bitsy(fairly huge) caveat: getting tight-fisted Uncle Scrooge to part with so much as a penny!(As the ever-quotable Babs Bunny once said, "Playing on his sympathy has worse odds than the lottery!") How will Donald get the money?

 

The Big Bin on Killmotor Hill-Uncle Scrooge builds a new maximum-security money bin, which the Beagle Boys evince an interest in. Can Donald help save his uncle's fortune?

 

The Screaming Cowboy-Donald composes and sells a song to a radio station, thus winning a trip to the mountains. Little does he know that a hermit living there despises the song! (There's a Little Bad Wolf lookalike kid in this story, BTW.)

 

Oh, please.

 

Statuesque Spendthrifts-One of the funnier stories in this collection, Uncle Scrooge and the Maharajah of Howdoyustan feud with each other over who's richer by each building bigger and bigger statues.

 

Rocket Wing Saves the Day-The kids adopt a racing pidgeon and train him for an upcoming pidgeon race; there's just one problem...he's afraid of train whistles!

 

 

The Think Box Bollix-Donald is annoyed when the kids begin helping wacky inventor Gyro Gearloose with his inventions, and tries to play a prank on them...but the prank backfires(majorly)!

 

 

 

An excellent read, and a good companion piece to Lost in the Andes.

Classic Cartoon Showcase:Mickey Mouse in The Worm Turns

In this Disney classic, high-kilter craziness ensues when scientist Mickey invents a super-strength potion. Please enjoy!

Classic Cartoon Showcase:Mickey Mouse and Pluto in Society Dog Show

In this classic Disney short, the world-famous mouse enters his ever-longsuffering dog in a high-class dog show(Also entered in which, coincidentally, is Pluto's on-again-off-again girlfriend, Fifi). Sadly, however, the judge deems Pluto unfit to compete, but when danger strikes, it's up to Pluto to save the day! (And Fifi!) Please enjoy!

Classic Cartoon Showcase:Mickey Mouse in Symphony Hour

It's Mickey Mouse Day here at Keeper of the Fun! In this(HILARIOUS!!) Disney classic, the world-famous mouse's band gives a top-notch rehearsal which gets rave reviews from Mr. Sylvester Macaroni(who bears more than a passing resemblance to Pete). On the night of the concert, however, the instruments are left in the not-so-capable hands of Goofy, leading to disaster. What will the band do now? Please enjoy!

Joke of the Week #7

The seven dwarves are on lunch break at the diamond mines. Grumpy says, "I sure hope this isn't another baloney and mayonnaise sandwich. I just hate baloney and mayonnaise sandwiches! If I have to eat one more of those, I'm gonna run screaming into the woods!"

"I know how you feel." Sleepy says. "Every day it's the same thing:salami and ketchup. If I have to eat one more of those, I'm going to stomp on my hat!"

Dopey says, "Gee, I have a broccoli and mustard sandwich in my lunch every day. If that's what's in there today, I'll climb right up that tree and stay there."

So, they open up their lunch boxes and find the exact same thing they have every day. Grumpy freaks out and runs screaming into the woods, Sleepy throws his hat on the ground and repeatedly stomps on it, and Dopey starts climbing up the tree.

That night, Doc told Snow White what had happened at lunch. "Grumpy and Sleepy always whine about the lunches I make them, but I don't understand what got into Dopey," says a puzzled Snow White. "He makes his own lunch!"

In the Lemon-Limelight:The Weekenders

The Weekenders was a TV series made by Disney in 2000.  It was broadcast on the Disney Channel and its sister networks ABC and Toon Disney(now Disney XD).

The show chronicled the weekend plans of four 12-year old kids residing in the fictional city of Bahia Bay, California. The group consisted of the neurotic, high-strung Tino Tonittini, the goofy tomboy Lor McQuarrie, the slightly stuck-up Carver Descartes, and the smart, sensible Tish Katsufracas. The kids enjoyed such activities as playing basketball, shooting pool, playing video games, going to rock concerts, and eating at the local pizza parlor(the motif of which changes with every episode). Episodes usually involved some(usually odd) situation occuring, and the kids having to solve it(with ample hilarity ensuing).

This show, regrettably, is not currently available on TV or DVD, but a lot of episodes(if not all) are available on Youtube.

Overall, this is a good, funny, well-made show that definetly deserved more attention than it got. The main characters manage to be both funny and relatable, and their equally wacky friends and relatives more than add to the show's appeal. The voice cast is also excellent, with the main characters themselves being voiced by a few of the best. Humorous running gags are also utilized in most(if not all) of the episodes, such being Lor's brothers dog-piling on anyone who enters their house, jibes about Tino's head resembles a pumpkin and/or Carver's head resembling a pineapple, Tino's mother's bizarre recipes, Coach Colson, the school gym teacher answering the door in his bathrobe thinking he hears girl scouts selling cookies(lovely...just lovely...), hilariously embarassing things happening to the perpetually unseen Chloe Montez et al. An underrated show that's most certainly worth a peek.

  

The theme song is mighty good, too!

Classic Cartoon Showcase:Pluto in Lend a Paw

In this classic Disney short, Mickey's often put-upon dog sees a bag floating down the river and rescues it. He becomes annoyed, however, upon his dicovery that it was a cat that he rescued. The kitty, however, loves Pluto and reguards him as a hero. The kitty follows Pluto home, and is welcomed with open arms by Mickey, which causes Pluto to reguard the kitty as a nuisance and try to get him in trouble. Will Pluto ever learn his lesson? Please enjoy! (This cartoon is slightly similar to an episode of the Pound Puppies TV show, called "Tuffy Gets Fluffy".)

Donald Duck in Trail of the Unicorn

This unicorn looks like he ought to switch to low-cal oats.

As per my previous post, I found this very nifty Donald Duck comic online. Uncle Scrooge has called Donald and the kids to help him find a unicorn for his zoo, for which he'll pay handsomely. Scrooge mentions having seen one in the Himalayas, so Donald and the kids trek off to India in hopes of procuring one of these fantastic beasts, but Gladstone Gander plans to sabotage their efforts (as usual). If you like Donald Duck and you like unicorns, this is the comic for you!

You can read it here!

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to the Bookstore:Donald Duck in Lost in the Andes by Carl Barks

Who's got the sweetest disposition?

One guess. Guess who?

Who never, ever starts an arguement?

Who never shows a bit of temperament?

Who's never wrong, but always right?

Who'd never dream of starting a fight?

Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?

No one but Donald Duck!

And those last two lines of this famous song were never more true than in this comic collection by the late, great Carl Barks, creator of Scrooge McDuck, Gyro Gearloose, the Beagle Boys and many others. This high-quality collection follows the eponymous duck and his ever-present nephews (with the occasional company of Daisy, Uncle Scrooge, and jerkwad extrordinaire Gladstone Gander) on many exciting (and hilairious!) adventures. Some must-reads are:

Toyland-Santa calls on Donald and the kids to test the toys in his workshop before he makes his nightly run, but they have a little too much fun with this task.

The Crazy Quiz Show-Donald expects to win big on a game show, but the kids keep one-upping him.

(This story contains a shout-out to Mickey Mouse, BTW.)

 

 

Donald Duck's Worst Nightmare-Donald seeks a cure for his recurring nightmares, but will the cure end up being worse than the disease?

 

The Sunken Yacht-Donald and the kids discover a sunket yacht and hope to strike it rich by salvaging it. (This story is particularly notable in that the method used to salvage the yacht was tested in an episode of Mythbusters.)

 

Managing The Eco-System-In what may be the most hilarious story in this collection, Donald and the kids try to match each other in a battle of echoes.

 

Plenty Of Pets-The kids bring a series of "pets"(a possum, an owl, a squirrel et al.) home from summer camp...much to Donald's chagrin.

 

This collection has it all and is a must for any Disneyana Collector.
