Morning Dose of Perspective

This song came up on the random iPod on the walk into work this morning. I'm too old to have heard this when I was a kid, but it certainly makes one think:

Valse Triste

At the risk of turning this blog into a video aggregator, I wanted to post a follow up. Stemming from the video of "Diana's Piano" from earlier in the week, I found this: the "Valse Triste" segment from Allegro Non Troppo. Allegro is an Italian animated film that's almost like an anti-Fantasia; most of it is only so-so, but this segment, particularly if you're a cat lover, is emotionally impacting in a way not many cartoons are. The "small screen" doesn't really do the visuals justice, but since this can be pretty hard to find (it was only put up on YouTube yesterday), here ya go.

Prepare Your Tissues

Here's something a little different: I found an old segment from the animated movie "Garfield's Nine Lives" on YouTube. This particular segment is called "Diana's Piano," and if you're a cat person, you'll probably be crying like a little girl by the time it's over. OK, well, that's what I was doing. Enjoy.
