Animation & Nostalgia: The Tooth Trolls
This film is nostalgia for me even though it was made all the way back in 1954. Karius og Baktus (Karius och Baktus, Karius and Bactus e t c) is a Norwegian film by Ivo Caprino made with the pedagogical purpose of getting kids to brush their teeth properly. It features two irritating "tooth trolls" nesting in some kids teeth.
In the 70s they made us watch it in school several times and I know I thought it was kind of grim. Of course we preferred watching it to having regular classes. As if the film wasn't enough I was given the book, probably by my Norwegian godparents. Was it because I had bad personal hygiene? I would like to think not.
Click here or on the image to get to Bibi's excellent video blog Videos With Bibi (updated daily!!) and her equally excellent post called Ivo Caprino Short Stop Motion Animations I, where you'll find Karius and Bactus and four more films by Ivo Caprino.
By the way, if you like stop motion movies and you happen to stumble upon a movie called Flåklypa Grand Prix (Pinchcliffe Grand Prix) you should watch it. This is Ivo Caprino's masterpiece from 1975; also great nostalgia for me.

Blog: Biggest Part Of My Life Is Me.
Those of us who has followed Mr Peanut Butter Sandwich knows that he every once in a while gets tired of his blog and starts over in an other shape. Now he has done it again! Last time, when he closed down Earnest Little Cartoon Guy, I and several others had a hard time finding him so for all of you here's a link to the new blog: Biggest Part Of My Life Is Me.
Update: He says about the new blog "I think I wanted a blog that's a bit more personal and a bit more like a diary with links and other stuff I dig intertwined, so to speak."
PS He also says he'll keep the old blog but he won't update it.
