Review:

‘Good Old Fashioned Cartoon Violence’ is another gag cartoon made by top animator Eric Goldberg when he was still in his teens.

In this black and white cartoon a cartoon figure watches a Tom & Jerry like violent cartoon on television. Immediately after that, cartoon violence starts happening to him, too. It only ends when the poor guy shoots his creator (a nice self caricature of Goldberg).

This is not really a funny or good cartoon, but Eric Goldberg’s talent is unmistakable.

‘Good Old Fashioned Cartoon Violence’ is available on the DVD ‘Giants’ First Steps’
