The Cartoon Quote Game...

And post I shall.

"My mama used to always say, Christmas ain't Christmas till somebody cries!"

I know. It's Donkey, from "Shrek The Halls."

That is correct. And now it's your turn!

Thanks, Salty. Now let's see about these quotes:

"Mr.....Mr. Trundle's clock-at the village hall. I...I wanted to see how it worked, so I climbed into it, and...."

"Kerplunk?"

"Kerplowie."

It's Albert explaining what happened with the clock to his Dad. From ’Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Yes, it's Albert and Father Mouse. Good job, Salty. . Once again, you get to post a quote.

Thanks,

"Not much of a stocking. Just right for not much of a house."

Oh, bother. Do I need to give a hint?

This is a pessimistic character who just wants an umbrella for Christmas.

"Oh, bother." = catchphrase of A. A. Milne's Winnie The Pooh. Pessimistic character of the Hundred Acre Wood must be Eeyore the donkey with the tacked-on tail. And an umbrella is one thing such a sad sack might appreciate, for keeping the rain and snow off of him.

Excellent! Eeyore wants an umbrella to protect his house in Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too.

Ooh ooh ooh! I thunk up anudder Christmas-y quote.

"Fahoo fores, dahoo dores
"Welcome, Christmas, come this way.
"Fahoo fores, dahoo dores
"Welcome, Christmas, Christmas Day."

That's easy. The Whos from "How The Grinch Stole Christmas."

Exactly, this is the song that the Whos of Whoville sing around the town's central Christmas tree. They even sing it after discovering that they've been robbed down to the bone.

Thanks, OUB. Now to once again go all the way back with this quote:

"Birth is a miracle! Love is a miracle! Spread the word!"

Hint: He convinces his friends to stop acting like humans, and scolds them for not letting a human couple spend the night there.

Final hints: This animated special was based on a Norwegian legend, and its script was written by the voice of Speed Racer.

Well. guess I'll have to provide the answer. It's the ox, from "The Night The Animals Talked."

Now for a non-Christmas quote that has a little something to do with yesterday's tragedy:

"When you've hit rock bottom, there's only one way to go, and that's up."

I've only seen The Night The Animals Talked Once, and remember only that steer / ox closing speech, only for him to lose his power of speech, and "truth" becomes a "mooo."

This newest quote, I recognize instantly: it's Buster Moon the koala, psyching himself up for another day of theatrical shenanigans in Illumination Entertainment's Sing.

Right, OUB. Good job. . Too bad there are no Wham! or George Michael songs on the soundtrack.
