   Jack and the Witch

   (Spoiler Section Length: 2min 59sec) Starting off our 2026 Spookaboo, we have a fairly obscure movie that seems to be a Japanese take on a modern (for the 60s) fairytale. It's an odd little film with demon children, talking animals and lots of bone architecture. It's also from the 60s so expect a few trippy moments. Is it any good, and does it hold up for the modern (2020s) viewer? Let's find out!

   Peace on Earth (MGM) & Peaceful Neighbors (Columbia)

   The end of the 30s was, obviously, a stressful time for global politics, and this definitely had an effect on cartoons of the time, though this effect would become much more pronounced in the 40s. These two cartoons represent the American stance on the boiling tensions of the time, to varying degrees of artistry and bluntness. Are either of them good, especially so long after the time period they reflected? Let's find out!

   Coyote vs. Acme

   (Spoiler Section Length: 8min 50sec) It's finally happened - the 2nd shelved Looney Tunes movie has been released, and we went and saw it in theaters! Besides The Day the Earth Blew Up, all Looney Tunes films have been live-action/animation hybrids, so that begs the question... how does this hold up compared to the Space Jams and Back in Action? And how is it as a movie, overall? Was it worth the wait and all the effort to finally get it released? Let's find out!
