Magoo in Hi-Fi
Once you get past the daft spoken word bits with Mr McGoo, this gets excellent, almost avant-garde in places, with incredible work by Dennis Farnon and Marni Nixon. The Very Contrary Mary track is stunning.

In three weeks he may be dead…
Look at Bambi lying in a field. Bambi will be dead soon.
Sports Illustrated - July 1970
Coincidentally, this ad appeared within a year of the release of the classic animated short "Bambi Meets Godzilla." Perhaps the ad men had seen Marv Newland's film. Newland went into advertising after making his film, so it's at least possible.

The Reluctant Dragon
Truly bizarre mishmosh of live-action and cartoons, an early experiment from Disney.The film's Wikipedia page.
Modern critics have pointed out that the dragon's mannerisms can easily be interpreted as gay. Sean Griffin notes "the delight and acceptance of an effeminate male," saying, "The dragon sports long emotive eyelashes and contains not an aggressive bone in his body, with the dragon prancing and pirouetting throughout the story... There is no mistaking how the film makes fun of the dragon's mincing manner and prissy pretentions. Yet, the film also makes it quite clear that the dragon does not believe in fighting, and the film doesn't specifically make fun of him for that... Just as in Ferdinand the Bull, The Reluctant Dragon presents an easily read gay character under the guise of fantasy and shows characters accepting him as he is."
The sound quality is a bit off in this posting, but otherwise watchable for strangeness.
