What The Block?

Visions of Europe

Twenty-five films from twenty-five European countries by twenty-five European directors.

Sissy Frenchfry

The annual Student Body President election at wildly eclectic and diverse West Beach High pits the quirky, much-beloved incumbent Sissy Frenchfry against handsome, charismatic -- and socially intolerant -- transfer student Bodey McDodey, who enacts a devious plan to restore the "status quo."

The Purge: The Morning After

In comedian Johnny Ray Gill's parody of the Universal horror flick, actor Daniel Rubiano has to face the music when he reports to work the next morning.

Fair Warning

Mickey's Battle

A bantamweight boxer has moved to Toonerville with his sissy-looking but well-trained son. When he gets into a dispute with Mickey Maguire, nothing will settle the matter but a meeting in the squared ring.

Mickey's Little Eva

Mickey McGuire is putting on a bad performance of Uncle Tom's Cabin, but first he has to deal with the competition; another boy is putting on a wild animal show -- house cats inflamed by the "tamer" having white mice in his trousers.

Riders of the Purple Cows

When a gang of outlaws put Andy Clyde's ranch house under siege, daughter Alice Day recruits college heart throb Ralph Graves to save daddy.

Honest Injun

Johnny Arthur has been ordered to spend a year out west to toughen him up, so he and butler George Davis head out. The cowboys at the ranch don't like him, so Johnny and they play practical jokes on each other. However, when Virginia Vance is kidnapped, it turns out to be real desperadoes.

What Doesn't Kill You

After a rare diagnosis, Lily's attempts to flee from war torn Israel are thwarted when the airport shuts down and her zany cousin forces her to party.

Elliott's To Do List

A quirky high school girl has to learn that you can't fit friendship into a checkbox.

Pickled Puss

A predatory cat and the mouse he's chasing become temporary friends after the mouse takes refuge in a barrel full of pickled herrings and the cat becomes intoxicated by the fumes.

The Bear Dodger

Created by Noburo Ofuji, who had been cartoon making since the 1920s, often with decorative paper cutouts. The character animation looks like it was done 15 years before, but a lot of the elements are highly original; design (those trees!), use of camera focus. Heavily musical in a manner that recalls animation's earliest use of sound. The lesson here is: "If you can't count on your friends, travel alone".

The Dummy Owner

Leon's boss buys a racehorse, but doesn't want word to get out that he is the owner, so he has the papers filled out showing Leon as the owner of record. At first, Leon is excited, but the arrangement soon creates difficulty for him. First, he knows nothing about horses except how to bet on them, and second, when his wife finds out, she is furious.

Girl Grief

Although terrified of girls, Charley must take a job teaching at a girls school.
