Yeah. That actually is a pretty accurate summation. What he left out is that the animation is also demonically horrific.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Should I even admit that I knew what movie you meant from just
there's this cloud that floats around, and gets into things and makes them evil.

This Betty Boop short is extremely creepy (and not work safe: Bimbo's Initiation via Boing Boing (Bimbo is the name of a dog.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We watch Bimbo's Initiation fairly often around here. It's genius! What would Freud make of "Do you wanna be a member?"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I actually frequently chant "Wanna be a member? Wanna be a member?" to Matilda, and she always takes the perfect beat, makes a scrunched-up Bimbo face, and says sternly, "NO!" I love her dearly for it, among many other things.
Of the old Fleischer Brothers cartoons, "Bimbo's Initiation" is usually my second favorite. "Snow White" is usually my absolute utter favorite -- the "St. James Infirmary" section is every mad, swinging, endlessly inventive and gloriously grim thing Forbidden Zone ever wanted to be.
But sometimes I switch it up and make "Bimbo's Initiation" my favorite, 'cause I'm capricious like that.

Are those available on something other than You Tube (which my computer apparently hates 90% of the time)?

I don't know about officially, but we have them on various VHS tapes that I could burn to DVD if you can't find them elsewhere.
