With the landmark cartoon Steamboat Willie, Walt Disney showed his genius by setting up two core elements of the Mickey Mouse character that have lasted to this day: he’s always on a steamboat, and his name is Willie. Such vision!

From the mind of Educational Collaborator William E. Young, Ph.D., Director of Curriculum Development Center at The University of the State of New York, and in collaboration with Coronet Films, comes the eternal question: is it considerate to bore your classmates?

Making friends is one of those paradoxical situations where, if you have to watch a Coronet short about how to do it, it’s already too late.

Are You Listening? From the educational minds of Educational Learning, Inc. Are You Seeing This? I Mean, Really, What Are We Even Looking At? should be the real title.

Gumby is back in two unspeakable adventures that test the limits of claymation and decency!

The ending of Adventures of Captain Marvel Chapter 6 left us all with a serious cliffhanger… would our valiant heroes find the strength to keep going and riff another episode? The answer is here at last, with the sequentially named Adventures of Captain Marvel Chapter 7: Human Targets!

The year is 1975. Try as they might to “Whip Inflation Now,” Americans were feeling the devastating reality of the polyester embargo. Holiday Inn International decided that the only thing they could do was to make a weird “A Christmas Carol”-type training film for their employees. So they did! Then they panicked and tacked on a bunch of commercials and showed it during a sales conference or something. We’re not really sure. Maybe you can figure it out! Put on your best cotton-poly blend and try to Stay Alive in ‘75 with Bridget and Mary Jo!

Superjock is a look back at a simpler time, when workout clothes didn’t need to “breathe” or “weigh less than twenty pounds” and doctors argued about which brand of cigarettes to recommend. We first meet Jim, who was once a high school jock but has spent every moment since speedrunning “needing quadruple bypass surgery.” Jim’s diet appears to have mirrored The Guy From Harlem’s room service order for about two decades, but now it’s time to get in shape. How is this going to happen? Perhaps by imitating Vic, a man who, based on his haircut and facial hair, was last seen heading up a polygamist sect in 1877. Vic has started eating healthier, cutting back on drinking, and exercising. The result is about what you’d expect: every day is agony. He’s extended his lifespan by years, but with every bite of grapefruit or iceberg lettuce, he wonders “Is this misery worth it?” It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a man getting winded while searching for his ashtray!

Lots of people are afraid of the dentist. Perhaps it’s because they have seen Danny’s Dental Date, a short film that tries to assure kids that the going to the dentist was nothing to worry about and instead makes the entire experience seem like an unspeakable eldritch horror, but with fluoride. First of all, there’s puppets. The puppets are so scared of the dentist that they flee into the woods, which, once you discover that the puppets have puppet teeth, you may want to do too. Then the puppet turns into a real boy and decides to face his fear, but not before the short stops for a couple minutes for a Parade of Vegetables. Many shorts could use a Parade of Vegetables, we feel one would really have taken Setting Up A Room to the next level. Strap in because this dentist doesn’t wear gloves or wash his hands. But don’t worry, he also uses his tools to carve things into his body in order to show off how safe they are. To answer the question of another famous dentist: Is it safe? NO!

The Skating Rink follows Tuck, a farm boy whose family home seems to exist in the Great Depression, even though everything else around them is from the 1970s. Could it be a sci-fi time portal situation? Tuck’s Pa doesn’t care for his son’s odd ways - for example, it drives him crazy that Tuck chooses to walk home from school instead of riding the bus. What a little hellion! Fortunately for Tuck, a big city ice skating guy has decided to build a huge skating rink in this small farm town. It’s obviously a terrible business decision, but lucky for him the short ends before he’s totally ruined. The skating rink's owner somehow guesses that Tuck would make a great figure skater if he gave it a shot, and he’s right! From there, it’s a matter of building up Tuck’s confidence so he can put on a show for the town. But what will Pa think? Is he still fixated on the school bus thing?

In the '70s, everyone started getting in touch with their feelings, probably because there was nothing good on TV. Embracing what makes you feel good, addressing what makes you feel bad… Sure, it sounds good on paper! But when the result is a short like Feelings, it’s probably better just bottling up your emotions for several decades until you die resentful and alone. A parade of unfortunately-attired 70s children address the camera about what they are feeling. This can be quite literal, such as feeling cold when you touch ice, or it can be distressingly abstract, like the kid who just chants “I hate him! I hate him!” (Unless he’s talking about Baby Ghost, he could probably use some counseling.) The entire time, abstract flute music plays in the background, giving it a fun “cult initiation” kind of feel.

The Hell’s Angels. The Yakuza. The Five Points Gang. The Crips. The Bloods. None of these groups inspired as much terror in their communities than the subject of our new short: the Fishing Vagabonds. They ruled the Central Coast with an iron fist. Mothers would cover their children's eyes when one of the Fishing Vagabonds passed by. “Don’t look them in the eye, sweetie, or you’ll wind up as bait.” It’s rumored in many a seaside tavern that the hooks they used were made from human bone… Okay, fine. The Fishing Vagabonds are fun-loving married couples who go on a fishing jaunt in full 1950s style. Are you happy? Well you should be, because they are. In their white swim caps and fine matching boats, these “Vagabonds” recklessly obey all sea-fishing rules and go out of their way to mention how “girls are useless on a fishing trip.” They also plan a “chowder party” which has to be something unwholesome, right?

He doesn’t have his drivers license, but Olympic diving hopeful and recreational beer consumer Buddy Elder (Scott Baio) receives a really rad car for his birthday. Yet despite repeated warnings from the elder Elder (George Dzundza), and close calls with the cops, Buddy continues to drink and drive. It’s no big deal - until an ironic turn of events. Directed by Henry Winkler, All The Kids Do It also features the work of renowned Production Manager Ephraim "Red" Schaffer.
