Flip & His Girl Tap Dancing In The Beginning Of The 'Talkie' Age
A huge grasshopper pulling Flip The Frog in his chariot. That's the best thing about cartoons: you never know what crazy sight you'll see next. Artists can draw things you could never have happen in real life. This craziness has always been a part of animated work, as demonstrated in these first years of "talkies," which included cartoons. (There isn't much dialog here, though.)
Anyway, we see Flip taking his girl out for a ride in his new "wheels." He's mad she's late, fiddling around upstairs in front of a mirror as women like to do, and throws a tantrum but quickly behaves as soon as she shows up....a typical male response.Soon, the two of them are traveling down the road singing (him) and playing the harmonica (her).
A shocking thing then happens after a giant pelican enters the scene. I won't say what it is, but it's very unexpected, even in a cartoon.
Actually, most of this cartoon is really just visuals set to tap-dance music.....and if you like to watch tap dancers - even animated frogs - you'll like this old UB Iwerks cartoon.
