New York City 2600

We’ve recently discovered “Animated Manhattan,” an ongoing series of articles by David Friedman about depictions of Manhattan in animation. From milestones like Oliver and Company, Fritz the Cat, and Madagascar to staples like Tom and Jerry, Futurama, and The Critic, to easily overlooked gems like the opening titles to Late Night with Conan O’Brien, the author delves deep into how the various artists portray the borough with varying degrees of accuracy and/or artistic success.

All in all, quite a good read.
