...cartoon suits the sort of CGI movie - your Shrek, your Ice Age - that goes for big laughs extracted from outlandish situations. Nothing wrong with that; cartoon comedy is an honorable, entertaining and often artful confection and has been since the days of Mickey Mouse, Betty Boop and the sublime Daffy Duck. But animation can go deeper, have higher stakes. You see that impulse in parts of nearly every Pixar picture: the first sections of WALL-E and Up have an ambition, a gravity that stretches the format close to that nexus of graceful motion and deep emotion where just about...
...maintenance of state order or the continuation of their lineage. Janicak and Dougan recommend “La Blue Girl” as representative of hentai. The title of their film pays homage to the Tijuana Bible, a collection of pornographic versions of classic cartoons such as Betty Boop and Popeye...

His dented Chevy pickup, loaded with pinatas shaped like Betty Boop and Winnie the Pooh, is dwarfed next to a semi carrying 15 tons of yellow bulldozer claws. Castano usually makes the trip twice a day and can pocket $150 each time. But because it would be easy to stuff marijuana inside Betty or Winnie, he is always waved over for inspection. Castano says he trusts his 12 employees to stay away from the drug smugglers, but he pays his men only $50 a week...
