Courage the Cowardly Dog is an award-winning American animated television series (1999-2002), created by John R. Dilworth, who directed each episode, about a dog named Courage and his owners Muriel Bagge, a kindly old Scottish woman, and Eustace Bagge, a grumpy old farmer, living together in a farmhouse in the middle of the fictional town of Nowhere, Kansas. The specific specimen of studied species of Sasquatch seen in this selection surely should be spoken of only in some sort of spurious speculation.
Felix the Cat & Yeti
Okay, this may be merely a Felix the Cat cartoon, but it also may be one of the worst illustrations of misrepresentations in comic history. This cartoon with Felix the Cat and the Abominable Snowman is from 1958. How many misstatements and mistakes do you see in it? (No, I’m not really upset. I’m just playing along with some kind of mock insult to our cryptozoological legacy.) Some of the errors I caught are: – Abominable Snowmen at the North Pole (the Arctic) – They actually are reported to live in the montane valleys of the Himalaya and cross the [...]
Disturbing Big Cat Videos
The large felid exhibition has reopened, but a cloud of “why” still floats over the death of a young man killed during a tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo. Videos such as the following are disturbing, because they give the illusion that “wild animals” are friendly. How can we teach children to enjoy zoos but realize the animals there are dangerous and still untamed with videos like these circulating? Does the tiger attack in San Francisco make sense, at some level, in the context of a society that treats big cats as nothing more than giant pets? [Cryptomundo has [...]
Abominable Snow Rabbit
Take an enjoyable historical break, sit back, and watch this just posted crypto-cartoon from 47 years ago: The Abominable Snow Rabbit is an eight minute 1961 Warner Brothers Looney Tunes theatrical cartoon starring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. The cartoon was directed by Chuck Jones and co-directed by Maurice Noble, with a story by Tedd Pierce. (For whatever reason, the video version here is six minutes long.) While the cartoon’s title, according to such sources as Wikipedia, allegedly “is taken from the phrase and horror film, The Abominable Snowman,” I must observe that knowledge of the Abominable Snowman was culturally [...]
Monster Hunters
Before “Monster Quest,” “Legend Hunters,” “Ghost Hunters,” “Mystery Hunters,” and “Destination Truth,” there was Peter von Puttkamer’s “Monster Hunters” on television. It was a series that was one of the first cryptozoology “hunt” or “search” shows featuring groups of actual cryptozoologists or monster hunters filmed in the field. Now, after years of anticipation, “Monster Hunters” has been released on DVD. For those unfamiliar with the series, you may be more aware of Peter von Puttkamer’s earlier, award-winning, feature length motion picture, Sasquatch Odyssey: The Hunt for Bigfoot. The film is famous for its profiles of the “Four Horsemen of the [...]
In Search of…Lincoln?
Thanks to Henry Stokes.
Animal X Downloads
Yes, Loren Coleman is in the “Winged Creatures” episode, even if he is not in this new trailer from “Animal X.” The trailer was not placed online until 2008. Its appearance is a sign that all of the “Animal X” episodes from three seasons are now obtainable through online ordering. We are seeing a shift from DVDs to online ordering, instant obtaining of cryptozoology documentaries. The “Animal X” overview of this specific program includes images and words, beyond the trailer: Dan and Nat investigate unidentifiable winged creatures reported around the world in their latest investigation. They travel to Mexico, Point [...]
New Bigfoot Cryptocinema
What can I say? I’m speechless.
Search for Thylacines: “A Triumph of Hope…”
The Science Show has published a transcript of their recently broadcast program on “Tasmanian Tigers.” The program description details what is covered: “Catherine Medlock describes the Tasmanian Museum’s collection of young Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tigers. The museum has five of the nine specimens in existence. They were extinct on the mainland 5,000 years ago and were only found in Tasmania until more recent times despite reports that they are sighted from time to time. Nevertheless, there is no evidence they persist. The last Thylacine died in the Tasmanian zoo in 1936.” As their interview concludes, Catherine Medlock, Curator of Vertebrate [...]
Bigfoot Biker Flick
Old movie posters of Bigfoot movies are rare but do exist. But how often do you see one in this language? I’ve mentioned this film before. In the USA, it was released as Bigfoot (1970), directed by Robert E. Slatzer. Nevertheless, this poster is new to me.
