A L O H A !
Ah, a lazy Island Saturday !
Once around Diamond Head
- that's Diamond Head Light,
home (the attached house)
to the Grand Poohbah
of the US Coast Guard
District
Look -
I caught a bird in flight!
(see how the feet
are extended to land?)
Well, We've
"Played Outside"
Now let's
REALLY
be kids again!
<>[}:{]<>
When we were young
Saturday morning
was the time
to watch CARTOONS
on the little black & white
TV.
Before Sponge Bob,
or Angry Birds,
a whole other
wondrous world
was created
by a man
you probably never
heard of:
" Max Fleischer
(July 19, 1883 – September 11, 1972)
was an American animator.
He was a pioneer in the development
of the animated cartoon
and served as the head of Fleischer Studios.
He brought such animated characters as
and Superman to the movie screen
and was responsible for
a number of technological innovations. "
=^.^=
If you remember Betty Boop
and her pal Bimbo,
if you remember
dancing, singing flowers,
and a clothed animal audience
watching a live show,
you ALREADY have
the Fleischer bug!
Are there things
from your own
childhood
that you think about
from time to time?
Is there an old song
that starts playing
in your head,
as it has for
decades?
Well here's mine -
BIG TIME!
Thanks to You Tube
nothing is really lost.
So shall we dance?
On the moon?!
I think you'll be glad
if you watch this
technologically
AMAZING
animation from the
1930s
