The wisdom of cartoons

.........................................................

It's always entertaining to watch as an adult cartoons that I'd seen as a kid.  It can be very disappointing (which is why I'll never re-watch the classic Speed Racer cartoons).  Sometimes, though, it's fascinating: seeing all the little jokes and subtext that no child can decipher.  Chicken Little just blew me away.  Sure, it's the story of Chicken Little, but the political overtones are huge.  Watch it and think about politics over the last 10 years, or the recent economic crisis (or any recent crisis).  It's a good example of how we retell stories to teach ourselves, and how to make a clear political point using creative media.  (Thanks to 4HWW for reminding me of the cartoon).
