Unities
Abigail (2024) horror film. Something's Afoot (1972) musical comedy. Both have a lot of the deaths. sure. But what struck me is that both observe the Aristotelian Unities, which is pretty unusual nowadays.

As you probably know, the voice characterization of many cartoon characters were based on imitations of real-life actors or comedians. This is a separate phenomenon from characters whose SHTICK (sometimes including voice but not necessarily) was based on existing comic actors or their roles such as how the characters in the Flintstones are translations of the ones in the live-action early sitcom The Honeymooners or George Jetson is Dagwood Bumstead or Archie Andrews is Mickey Rooney as Andy Hardy. Instead I am referring to instances where the voice characterization is simply lifted from an existing comedian's stage voice. Yogi Bear was based on Art Carney (as Ed Norton on The Honeymooners). Snagglepuss on Bert Lahur (the Cowardly Lion in "The Wizard of Oz"). Deputy Dawg on Crazy Guggenheim. Secret Squirrel's Morocco Mole on Peter Lorre. Milton The Monster on Jim Neighbors' Gomer Pyle. Huckleberry Hound on Andy Griffith in "No Time For Sergeants". C
