Here’s a blast from the past for you to enjoy. Mar­vin Digs is a short ani­ma­tion that pro­duced by Ralph Bak­shi (The ani­ma­tion pio­neer who brought us ‘Cool World’) for Para­mount Pic­tures in 1967.

Mar­vin is a teenager from the decade of the six­ties who looks like a walk­ing hair­ball. Charged with the hefty task of paint­ing the liv­ing room, his dad decides to del­e­gate the respon­si­bil­ity to Mar­vin, who cheer­fully accepts and sets off to the pain shop, offer­ing flow­ers to any per­son he crosses his path. Upon his return a TV mes­sage from the city’s mayor inspires him not to let the bound­aries of the liv­ing room be the limit of his creativity.
