Animation: Karl-Bertil Jonssons julafton
IN SWEDISH! uploaded by maxxtroSwe
Wikipedia (eng): "Sagan om Karl-Bertil Jonssons Julafton ("The Tale About Karl-Bertil Jonsson's Christmas Eve") is Per Åhlin's animated movie adaptation of Tage Danielsson's short story of the same name, telling a heart-warming tale of a modern Robin Hood who takes from the rich to give to the poor people of Stockholm on Christmas Eve. Karl-Bertil Jonsson's Julafton has gained huge popularity in Sweden, and is broadcast every Christmas Eve on Swedish and Norwegian national television.
The film was dubbed to English in 1987, with Bernard Cribbins as the voice-over, and got the title "Christopher's Christmas Mission"."

Music: Who Is Harry Nilsson?
Well, as it is said in the trailer for documentary "Who Is Harry Nilsson? And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him?" - either people get it (who he is) right away or they have no idea.
It seems that everyone who do know who Harry Nilsson was will agree that: 1...he was an extremely talented singer and songwriter 2...he was an extremely complicated person "a big bunny with really sharp teeth".
While being a very productive and successful songwriter, both for himself and others, like the song "One" recorded by Three Dog Night, the two largest hits for Nilsson as a performing artist were not written by him. Those songs are the theme from the movie Midnight Cowboy "Everybody's Talkin'" and "Without You".
Nilsson lived a life that took a toll on his body - partying, drinking etc with friends like John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Keith Moon - and Nilsson sadly died in 1993 before the age of 53.
Here follows a collection of the YouTube movies that had a Nilsson connection and that I found worth putting together. There's the documentary trailer, a couple of versions of "Everybody's talkin'", "Without You", "One" with Three Dog Night, "Daddy's Song" - a song he did for The Monkeys, A documentary about some of Nilsson's recording session in five parts and some more... Enjoy!

Animation: Winnie the Pooh in the Soviet Union
A year ago I uploaded a few snippets of the Soviet made Winnie the Pooh which I thought were truly delightful. And now I'm happy to say that YouTube signature kuba0000 has done the good deed of uploading full episodes in 4 parts. They were made in 1969-1972 by the acclaimed film company Soyuzmultfilm, known for a number of celebrated animations like the series about Cheburashka and short films like Hedgehog In The Fog and The Heron and the Crane (Watch them at Videos With Bibi!).
For your convenience I have collected the Soviet-made Winnie-the-Pooh-episodes into one playlist. (see below). I found them through this article in the blog Think In Pictures where the image of Pooh is discussed. For me Pooh has many faces; I love the originals from the book made by Englishman E H Shepherd, however one can't deny that the Disney version exists in one's conscience but now they have both been joined by the fresh images of the Soviet Pooh. I hope you too will enjoy him, although there are no subtitles. You probably know the stories well-enough to follow. Follow?
PS. You'd better hurry watching it. You never know for how long it'll be available!

Cartoon: Professor Balthazar
Finally someone (DzmrDz) has uploaded some episodes of the Croatian cartoon Professor Balthazar. This I have been waiting for since March last year (old post). Thanks to anonymous commentator and to Fikret Karic for telling me this! One of the episodes has the very suitable title "Martin Makes it to the top". Sure the cartoon is in Croatian but if I could understand it you should too. Enjoy the colours, the characters and the music!
Did you note that in this first Balthazar episode - Izumitelj cipela - his beard is red and curly?
PS. The company DVDLAB are in the process of preparing an italian well restaurated version of whole series. We wish them good luck!

Video: Saul Bass title sequences
The great graphic designer Saul Bass (1920-1996) though having created many well-known logotypes and posters, is mostly know and remembered for his work with movie title sequences (IMDb). This is a collection of the few I found on YouTube. My thanks to those who uploaded them. If you find more or upload more please let me know.
"My initial thoughts about what a title can do was to set mood and the prime underlying core of the film's story, to express the story in some metaphorical way. I saw the title as a way of conditioning the audience, so that when the film actually began, viewers would already have an emotional resonance with it."[1]Check this site out for great screenshots from other of Saul Bass' title sequences and this one for screenshots of other great titles.
