★★★★ · Jem Handy's Fairy Tales · Bill T. · 2003-12-26
Very cute cartoon/advertisement which tells of a 'boy' (???) who falls in love witha girl (??) and rescues her from the clutches of a bad guy. The reason I put the boy and girl in quotes is because from the looks of the cartoon, they don't look to be pushing 12, so it's very alarming to see the girl doing Mae West moves and the huge bad guy making the moves on her. Oh yeah, since this is a Jem Handy pic, a very convenient chevrolet rams through the castle (with no damage) and saves the day. Truly a fairy tale.
★★★★ · One knight in Handyland · Steve Nordby · 2003-10-14
Silly toon in typical 1930's style with catchy music and Middle Ages adventure theme. Starts out meandering, but soon we are in a great battle in which a boy with a wooden sword ends up defeating the bad knight by unleashing an awesome weapon: A Chevy! The power of many horses, moving fortress, great speed! It can drive through the castle wall! That's what Jam Handy is all about!
