I love the color and lyrical movement. I also loved the Shiva-esque dancer from an earlier scene...but the vividness of the Carmen Miranda dancer steals the show!

That would be a real treasure to have. Oh MAN, I do hope that you get something done on having a DVD of those industrials and educational films, Amid. That would be a real treasure to have.

One of the biggest problems was that I simply didn't have enough time to simultaneously work on a book and dvd, and ensure the high quality that I wanted for both. However, I'm figuring out a way so that everybody will be able to see the amazing public domain industrial/educational films and commercials of that era. I can't say how yet, but it'll happen. There is some mindblowingly awesome work from the 1950s that hardly anybody's seen in the past five decades, and these are cartoons that should really be out there.

Thanks for taking the time to post all of these gems Amid. I really love those Trix pics. I can't remember if I already suggested this before, but I think it would be an absolute dream if there was some way you could put out a special edition of your new book that had a dvd included that was loaded full of all of these great shorts and other bits of animation that you discuss within the book. But I'm sure that is damn near impossible... God I love Oreb’s work… Thanks for taking the time to post all of these gems Amid. I really love those Trix pics.

Where in the world do you get this stuff Amid? Tom Oreb's drawings have a sense of honest fun to them that, I'd imagine, is a strong part of their appeal. You're right about Toot Whistle though--it really does seem to be the product of not only individual expertise, but of the benefits of collaboration. Terrific! Jeez!
