Prince charming - from frog to Prince. I know there is a fairly recent cartoon possibly the Frog Princess. It could be related to that. Really interesting art and information, thanks. perhaps it has something to do with kissing frogs. Prince charming - from frog to Prince.

I laugh when everyone says what a "failure" Sleeping Beauty is. Although it was not an initial financial success, Walt Disney WAS pleased with it, and it now is the 30th most profitable film of all time (not just Disney, of ALL movies, from all time!) It is in MANY people's opinion the most beautiful film ever to come out of Disney. Everyone has their own tastes, but calling it a failure is just wrong. It is not boring, it is sophisticated, something most animated films still cannot accomplish. Bottom line: Like it or not, it is an artistic masterpiece of animation, and while MANY people are the reason for that, Earle is the most influential of them in regards to this project. Walt Disney wanted to break the mold and do something different. It worked, maybe not for everyone, but it is still one of the most beloved films of all time... so yea, it worked : ) Just stumbled across this.

I found your site looking for Mordi Gerstein. This cartoon sure epitomizes the phrase, less IS MORE. I've never enjoyed a cartoon so much. That such simple lines can produce such entertainment is amazing. It is SUCH an inspiriation. And, the annimation was absolutely hilarious. The rotating arms and his bobbing walk was just too much! You have shared a real treasure and I'm saving it as a fav to watch again. What a talent. THANK YOU for sharing it with us. Betty I wasn’t aware of Flebus before tonight.
