Obviously aimed at kids, Nickelodeon’s Monster Trucks would feel right at home in a double-feature with some of the live-action Disney films of the 50s and 60s (albeit with better special effects). The film follows the misadventures of teenager Tripp (MacGyver‘s Lucas Till) who ends up with a monster in his truck after it is forced out of its natural environment by a local oil drilling company. At first afraid of the creature, Tripp discovers having a monster be the engine of your truck has some advantages.

Widely regarded as one of the best cartoon shorts of all-time, 1953’s “Duck Amuck” features an increasingly agitated Daffy Duck (Mel Blanc) constantly breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to the unseen artist who forgets to draw the scenery (leaving the Duck against a blank background), or, when drawing something, varying it (or Daffy himself) in wildly inconsistent ways making it impossible for Daffy to tell a story.
