Disney’s *Flowers and Trees*. First of many many animated shorts that would win Disney an Oscar. Wasn’t until 2001 where Best Animated Feature became an award, which was won by Shrek.

From back in the days when Disney still did “rubber hose” animation before transitioning to more realistic physics. I really think the 30’s was the golden age of animation with Disney, Warner Bros, The Fleischer bros, and Van Bueren all doing some crazy cool animation.

Truly unbelievably creative animation and writing

I love older animation.
It’s sad it’s becoming a rare art form.
I get some people like the digital stuff. But I never really enjoyed it, even as a kid when I was more the target market. Much prefer hand drawn.
Same for a lot of special effects in movies. CGI has its place, but it’s nice to see real physical effects sometimes.

This is really great. I like the old cartoon graphics better than the new high resolution Pixar stuff

I just thought about my grandmother. She probably saw this as a child in rural Nebraska.

When you look at what Disney was doing compared to what everyone else in the early 30s (Fleischer, etc.) was doing, Disney was just leaps and bounds more technically advanced. There are some shots where they’re doing things like zooming out from a building while rotating it in space, and maintaining perfect perspective the whole time. Combine with Walt’s story sense—more than just gags— and no one compared.
I once came across the minutes/meeting notes of a story meeting with Walt and his senior guys when they were developing Snow White and you get a great sense of how good he was.

Not even the hardest level
So many vintage cartoons are truly amazing.
Fleischer studios made more innovative work.Â
