...musicals. Ray Bolger does the boasting for all the luminaries present: Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Cyd Charisse, Eleanor Powell, Donald O'Connor, Judy Garland. Among the MGM treats is Gene Kelly's original dance with Carol Haney, whose figure was later replaced by a cartoon figure for the animated classic Invitation to Dance. Kelly dances with garbage-can lids on his feet in It's Always Fair Weather and Donald O'Connor helps him make a shambles of a linguist's office in "Moses" from Singing in the Rain...
...television stations. In each half-hour segment, He-Man starts out as a mere wimp of a kid named Adam. When he raises his sword and utters the magic incantation, Adam turns into a hero who looks like Prince Valiant with Arnold Schwarzenegger's physique.

American Greetings started the trend in a big way in 1980 with Strawberry Shortcake. Similar hits this Christmas include Care Bears and Masters of the Universe...
...main pleasures of Superman is watching him bash buildings, save trains, and most important, commit assault on people in amusing ways. The cartoon violence in Supergirl is so tepid that we can only wonder if Szware was worried about in timidating males insecure about muscle bound women. The persons Supergirl bashes are two painfully stereotypical redneck truckers with ungentlemanly designs on Supergirl's too, too solid flesh. She can't even bring herself to hit the amazingly unthreatening invisible monster that tears up the countryside, choosing for some unknown reason a more ladylike lightning bolt. And why is it that...
