My Favorite Cartoon

Now that I've shared with you some of my favorite cartoon series, I thought I'd share my favorite cartoon episode of all time, a little gem from 1936 entitled "I Love to Singa." I don't remember how old I was when I first saw "Singa," but I know it affected me in a major way, so much so that when I saw it for the second time as an adult, I was instantly transported back to my youth.

One reason "I Love to Singa" has remained so important to me over the years has to do with my mother. I remember sitting in the kitchen one morning with her while she cooked breakfast--I think I was home visiting from college--and for some reason I started talking about "that cartoon with the little singing owl." "That was my favorite cartoon," I told her and was shocked when she told me that "Singa" had been her favorite cartoon when she was a child. I thought that was pretty cool.

Anyway, here it is, my favorite cartoon of all time, "I Love to Singa." Enjoy.
