Walt Disney - Noah's Ark (2/2) - 1959 Part 2 of 2. The well-known biblical tale is brought to life as a stop-motion musical, which feels more like Rankin/Bass's specials in the medium than a Disney production, only it's more stylized. Noah is advised by a heavenly voice that a great rainstorm is coming which will wipe out most of Earth's inhabitants. So he and his three sons build a boat to precise specifications and begin rounding up two animals of every kind, plus of course, their own women. When the lengthy time on the boat brings spirits down, Noah's sons provide some music to cheer everyone up. Interestingly, household items are used to create the characters; the whooping cranes have pencil beaks, corks are abound, and the moose's antlers are really sporks. This is a Disney oddity, if ever there was one, but it offers quite a fun time. Tags: Walt Disney Rarities Animation Cartoon 1959 Noah Ark |

Elephants Dream - VOSTFR Elephants Dream in VOSTFR ( VO with French Subtitles ). Elephants Dream is the world's first open movie, made entirely with open source graphics software such as Blender, and with all production files freely available to use however you please, under a Creative Commons license. The short film was created by the Orange Open Movie Project studio in Amsterdam during 2005/2006, bringing together a diverse team of artists and developers from all over the world. 'Elephants Dream' is the result of almost a year of work, a project initiated and coordinated by the Blender Foundation. Six people from the Blender user/development community were selected to come over to Amsterdam to work together on an animated short movie, utilizing Open Source tools only. With Blender originating as an in-house creation tool, the day-to-day feedback and interaction of both developing and using the software was one of its most outstanding features. In the past 2.5 years of open source development, it was especially this uniqueness of Blender that has proven to be difficult to organize and maintain. The Blender Foundation itself has no intention to grow or expand into a company or studio; such a development would conflict with the public benefit goals. Instead, the Foundation aims at endorsing and supporting activities within (educational) institutes, universities and companies. It is our conviction that establishing - content targeted - incidental, independent and temporal projects will be a strong boost for open source development strategies in general. Daily interaction of artists and developers can not only result in proof of concepts, but also in research of innovative solutions for the whole range of tools artists can deploy. By keeping such projects content focused and temporal, it also is possible for a wide range of currently active volunteers to participate. Not many people are in a position to give up a career (study, job) to become full-time employed on the projects of their interest. But there are many active volunteers prepared and motivated to do this incidentally for shorter time spans. Whilst Project Orange's prime target is to create an outstanding movie short, the secondary goal is to research efficient ways to increase quality of Open Source projects in general.

Walt Disney - The Truth About Mother Goose (2/2) - 1957 Part 2 of 2. In this memorable cartoon, the none-too-cheery stories behind well-known nursery rhymes are revealed. Each segment begins with an upbeat performance of the song, follows with a depiction of the historical inspiration, and concludes with a somehow less jolly rendition of the tune. It covers "Little Jack Horner", "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary", "London Bridge is Falling Down" with a clever contrast of amusing animation and serious narration.

Walt Disney - The Story Of Anyburg, USA - 1957 The people of Anyburg, U.S.A. bring a lawsuit against the group they deem responsible for most of the trouble in their town: automobiles!

Walt Disney - A Cowboy Needs A Horse - 1956 While tucked in his bed, an ordinary boy dreams of being a cowboy. His transformation, accompanied by a catchy tune and the addition of a horse, a hat, spurs, and so on, is quite appealing. His adventures in the West with Indians and bandits are not as captivating, but the fun conclusion redeems it. Tags: Walt Disney Rarities Animation Cartoon 1956 Cowboy Horse |

Walt Disney - In The Bag - 1956 Exactly three months after headlining a short, Humphrey returned for another Cinemascope outing with Ranger Woodlore. Here at the promise of a warm cooked meal, the large and likable one, along with his fellow brown bears, pick up litter from the park according to a grid that the Ranger has made. Many have fond memories of this cartoon, with good reason. It's a delightful little piece, with catchy music, funny twists, plenty of butt-bumping, and even a cameo by Smokey Bear.

Walt Disney - Jack And Old Mac - 1956 This is basically two jazz-inclined musical shorts in one. First is a swingin' rendition of "The House That Jack Built" boasting imaginative animation in which the writing of a word turns into its meaning (such as "cow" turning into a cow, and so on). Second and longer is "Old McDonald Had a Band", where instrument sounds replace the traditional barnyard noises. With the exception of his displeased wife, Old Mac's family all jams on musical instruments, even the pets. Tags: Walt Disney Rarities Animation Cartoon 1956 Jack Old Mac |

Walt Disney - Hooked Bear - 1956 Humphrey the Bear, who debuted in Goofy's Hold That Pose (1950) and appeared in a number of Donald Duck shorts in the first half of the decade, finally got two shorts belonging to the fussy park ranger Audubon J. Woodlore and him. Though the lesser of the pair, this one still thoroughly entertains as Humphrey makes repeated attempts to obtain a meal out of the lake during the busy fishing season.

Walt Disney - Social Lion - 1954 An African lion is taken to the city and gets loose. Despite being king of the jungle, he goes unnoticed by most of the busy local folks as he walks the streets, rides the subway, delivers a speech, pops in at a bar, and gets fitted for a suit.

Walt Disney - Pigs Is Pigs - 1954 The presence of a couple of guinea pigs at the Westcote railroad station create countless offspring as well as a load of paperwork for administrative bureaucrats including by-the-book agent Flannery when their owner won't pay the rate for standard pigs on them. Adapted from Ellis Parker Butler's story, this is one of the oddest shorts on the set, but it is certainly entertaining with its fast-paced, rhyming Irish-jig-like music.

Walt Disney - Ben And Me (2/2) - 1953 Part 2 of 2. It tells the story of Amos, a poor mouse (voiced by -- who else? -- Sterling Holloway), who is truly responsible for all of Benjamin Franklin's innovations in the 1740s, from the bifocals to the printing press, from the lightning rod to the furnace stove. Their relationship is electric, but rewarding (at least for Franklin). Years later, Amos reunites with Franklin to help America frame the Constitution. Sure, this entirely robs one of the most revered founding fathers of his agency, but it's all in good fun and it's a charming, clever little tale.

Walt Disney - Football Now And Then - 1953 American football of the then-present and olden days are juxtaposed when the current champions take on yesteryear's gridiron heroes. Both styles are gently satirized, especially the modern way of things, with its excessive gear, silly rituals, a distant coach, and even a team psychologist present.
