Animators React to The Simpsons and More
First up, Corridor Crew is joined by veteran animator and director Eric Koenig, who has worked on "The Simpsons" for over 14 years, to take a look at animated segments from over the years. They start with Disney's "The Skeleton Dance" from all the way back in 1929, check out the "Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria" segment from "Fantasia," and spend some time with "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad." Other pieces include "The Tell-Tale Heart," "Watership Down," Tim Burton's stop-motion short "Vincent," and a little bit of "The Simpsons."
Halloween Kills Honest Trailer
Next, since "Halloween Kills" is available on Peacock, Screen Junkies didn't waste any time tackling the franchise sequel with a new Honest Trailer. Though it doesn't hit quite as hard on some of the more silly elements of the sequel, it does hone in on the endless reminders of the events of the original "Halloween" and the surprising amount of shoving and slamming that Michael Myers does when he's not stabbing with whatever he has handy.
