Vintage Cartoon: Joie de vivre
Joei de vivre
(Anthony Gross & Hector Hoppin/1934)
"...in this case a sophisticated version of Perrault's Cinderella. Instead of working from designs from children's illustrated books, this film incorporates elements from French art nouveau posters, the fine art of Matisse and visual ideas from the Post Impressionists and Italian Futurists. The choreography is very imaginative, and constantly plays with the movement of the two dimensional abstractions in three dimensional space."
You'll find a QuickTime movie link in the ASIFA article: An Animation Salon: What Is An Animated Film?

Cartoon: Rhapsody of Steel
Rhapsody of Steel
In this post from January ASIFA said: "Today we scanned a read-along storybook adaptation of John Sutherland's industrial film, Rhapsody of Steel (1959). Sutherland's studio was very influential in the mid-1950s, employing some of the best designers in the business. This film is no exception."
There is also a QuickTime link in the post!

Illustration: T. S. Sullivant
Hippo: Say, Bunny, I'll toss you to see who pays for the lunch.
"T. S. Sullivant is one of the most important cartoonists in the history of the medium. He pioneered many of the elements of caricature and anthropomorphism that we now take for granted."
I reckon this should be enough for wanting to continue reading the article about T. S. Sullivant over at ASIFA.

Illustration: Kay Nielsen
"Kay Nielsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1886. His first success as an illustrator came with the book we digitized for inclusion in our media database today... 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses'. Nielsen differed from his contemporaries, who were steeped in the European tradition, by following the lead of artists from the art nouveau movement like Aubrey Beardsley, as well as Persian and Asian art."

Cartoon: Tin Pan Alley Cats
Some great screenshots of a bunch of cool cats from a war-time (WWII) Warner Bros cartoon called Tin Pan Alley Cats.
Hardly politically correct but they ARE cool cats.
Screenshots from another cartoon in a similar style: Coal Black and the Sebben Dwarfs
