I miss the Animaniacs. Great animation, attention to detail. Cartoons now for the most part are crap.
 



I just finished Dr. Larrie D. Ferreiro's Brothers In Arms: American Independence and The Men of France and Spain Who Saved It (New York, NY 2016).


I've always known that Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown never would have happened were it not for the overwhelming presence of Rochambeau's French army and deGrasse's French fleet. I've always known the colonists received massive financial assistance from Louis XVI's France— but I never knew that virtually ALL of the revolutionaries' arms, gunpowder and other war materiel came from French and Spanish arms dealers trading through the West Indies.


Those arms merchants were, of course, largely driven by the prospect of making a fat profit. They took huge financial risks by extending credit to the fledgling U.S. Several of them were subsequently bankrupted as a result.


You can watch Ferreiro talk about his book at: https://www.c-span.org/video/?422727-2/larrie-ferreiro-discusses-brothers-arms

The C-Span description:
Brothers at Arms Professor Larrie Ferreiro talked about his book Brothers at Arms: American Independence and the Men of France and Spain Who Saved It, in which he recalls the assistance that France and Spain provided the colonists during the Revolutionary War, which included close to the equivalent of $30 billion today and 90 percent of all guns employed by the Continental Army during the War.

Both the book and his talk are well worth your time.

And how grateful was the US?

The Quasi-War (French: Quasi-guerre) was an undeclared war fought almost entirely at sea between the United States of America and the French Republic from 1798 to 1800. After the toppling of the French crown during the French Revolutionary Wars, the United States refused to continue repaying its debt to France on the grounds that it had been owed to a previous regime. French outrage led to a series of attacks on American shipping, ultimately leading to retaliation from the Americans and the end of hostilities with the signing of the Convention of 1800 shortly thereafter.

France overthrows it's own repressive monarchy and adopts republican democracy and the US uses it as an excuse to renege on it's debt. LOL

Untrue. Cartoons have bested live stuff since forever. You can push a lot of limits creatively, socially and politically with cartoons you can't with live actors.

Cartoons rule!

animanics were pretty awesome.

as a kid i thought the "animalympics" were hilarious, but re-watching them as a adult cleared up that horrible misconception. :-/
 
He said MOSTLY not ALL. And you gave him some examples that backs up his MOSTLY.
