Toon Lore Done Right: A Black cartoon, anime and animation podcast
The primary mission is to give a brief history of animation, talk about the impact it's had on my life and, whenever possible, illuminate the black and brown people and characters that make these shows possible. In each episode of Toon Lore Done Right (TLDR) I, your host Dave, take a film, tv show, character, or concept in animation to give you a brief yet detailed history on it. As a blerd, anime fan,and student of all things animation and a graduate from SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) I hope to spark discussion while giving my personal insight.

Hey there, it's been a while, hasn't it? I know I've been on a bit of a hiatus from the podcast, and I'm not fully back yet, but I couldn't let this moment pass without sharing something that's been weighing heavily on my heart. You see, recently we lost a true legend in the world of manga: Akira Toriyama. His passing hit me hard, harder than I expected, and I knew I had to take a moment to honor his memory.
...For years I have enjoyed classic animation specials from one of the early masters of stop motion. From Rudolph to Santa the Rankin Bass holiday films have always been a staple in my movie line up. From its charming style to its awesome music, join me as I celebrate more than a half century of great work.
