The boundaries of our totality are slipping. How else can you explain this animated version of Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula from the 1960’s? Surely it’s the surfeit of apostrophes. Compare.


In this totality, the first image comes from King Leonardo and his Short Subjects, one of the earliest Saturday morning cartoons. The second is from the film Bram Stoker’s Dracula released in 1992. Of course, the solution to this conundrum is obvious. Dracula survives the events of the movie (set in 1897) and moves to Bongo Congo to menace King Leonardo under the assumed name of Mr. Mad. He is immortal after all.
