Hurricane Fluttershy - Informative 50's cartoons

[Comet Tail 808]

So, the video in "Hurricane Fluttershy" was AWESOME, lots of people said it reminded them of Fallout 3, and it certainly had the feel of a 50's cartoon.

 

So, what were videos actually like from that time? I decided to youtube up something, and I found this.

 

It's... Hilarious, in an appalling kind of way. My parents say they remenber being young - and being taught to "duck and cover" under the desks in the event of nuclear attack.

 

Sheesh. Imagine children's cartoons trying to cover such serious things nowadays!

 

(Well, actually, I dunno how much "Bert the Turtle" was considered a kids' thing, since cartoons=childish is a really recent stigma, but anyways...)

Duck and cover!

 

Because cool guys don't look at explosions.

I am not disturbed easily, but somehow that video keeps doing it.

Ah, the 50's a simpler time when you could radiate a persons face and no one would care.

I went to school in the 1960s.  We saw some instruction videos (Health class, Driver's Ed, etc.) that were made in the 1950s.  That was the same style they used then.  I'd have bet that better things would long since have withered into dust but those things would NEVER change.  Apparently, I was wrong

Kid, you ain't seen nothin yet. My parents read When The Wind Blows to me like it's a children's story. WHAT KIND OF CHILDREN'S STORY HAS THE HEROES DIE OF RAD SICKNESS?
