OT: Basketball in Toronto in 1988? 

Post#1 » by blocked » Tue Aug 9, 2011 4:08 am

Here is the last Lithuanian OT for the day. Lithuanians did not make many cartoons. But when they made them, the cartoons are kind of hard to follow and understand. They require a lot of explaining to make sense.
I was always curious as to why Toronto appears as one of the basketball destinations (besides Kaunas and Chicago) in the one and only basketball-themed Lithuanian cartoon that was made in 1988 and features the legendary Zalgiris...

Scroll to 3:20 to see it... if it is too unbearable to watch (does not require Lithuanian to understand, but does test patience).

Since when does Weems bring any kind of defense to the court anyway?

I'm pretty sure that had nothing to do with basketball.

Thanks for the video! Gotta love 70s and 80s animation. Nothing beats painstakingly slow cell by cell hand drawings. The story was pretty self explanatory I think! No translation needed.
