New Stop-Motion Marvels and “Cheers For Chubby”
I have to admit that one of the reasons I really wanted to do a stop motion set, was to gather all the strangest, odd-ball puppet animation shorts together in one place!
Updates, “Flip” Animated Kickstarter and “Rainbow Parade” Pre-Order!
Summer has me longingly looking outside and taking little breaks as I attempt to catch up with everything here! I’ve been lucky to have a good crew the last handful…
Oswald Rabbit in “The Keeper of the Lions” (1937)
I’ve always liked this cartoon, where somehow Oswald’s lip-sync didn’t manage to get on the exposure sheets – or for some other reason wasn’t animated.
The Little King in “Art for Art’s Sake” (1934)
Van Beuren’s The Little King cartoons are always a nice surprise. I just watched my old 16mm print of this tonight and smiled throughout.
From “Abbott & Costello” to “Insect to Injury”
I’m always impressed when I see a Famous Studios cartoon in 35mm Technicolor. Insect to Injury is worth taking a second look at. While not the top of the 50s Popeyes, it’s still a lot of fun.
Putting the Texaco Billboard back into Fleischer’s ‘Hurry Doctor!’ (1931), “Screen Songs” Special Set and ‘The Fatal Note’ (1933)
And a handful of Paramount Screen Songs frame grabs!
Flip Negative Scans – and a Cartoon Curio: “The Family Album” (1930)
Produced by Audio Productions, while Paul Terry had his operation there, The Family Album is a sequel to the earlier Fleischer-made Finding His Voice.
Championing Orphan Films – One Frame At A Time
The Private Snafu cartoon “Going Home” (1944) was pulled from distribution because of its reference to a similar, then-in-progress, Atomic Bomb.
Scrappy in ‘The Wolf at the Door’ (1932)
Scrappy as a Canadian Mountie, who should be arrested for sending Oopy out in sub-zero weather – in what appears to be only a nightshirt.
