Now You're Talking (1927): A Hilarious Guide to Early Telephone Etiquette

 In 1927, telephones were still a relatively newfangled invention. While the basic idea of picking up a receiver and talking wasn't a mystery, proper phone etiquette was far from established. Enter "Now You're Talking," a delightful animated short from Fleischer Studios (the creators of Betty Boop!) that combined humor and live-action to teach viewers the dos and don'ts of phone use.

Animation Meets Instruction

"Now You're Talking" is more than just a dry instructional film. The animation is where the short truly shines. The telephones themselves are brought to life, transforming from everyday objects into expressive characters. The poor receiver gets yanked around by a careless user, while the transmitter recoils in horror at loud yelling. It's a clever and funny way to get the message across.

A Glimpse into the Past

The film also offers a fascinating glimpse into telephone technology of the era. We see rotary phones haven't quite taken hold yet, with operators still playing a key role in connecting calls. Watch out for hilarious antics involving tangled cords, overflowing ashtrays threatening delicate equipment, and the ever-present danger of spilled liquids.

More Than Just Manners

"Now You're Talking" isn't just about saying "please" and "thank you." It also tackles broader social issues. A sequence shows a doctor using the phone to spread gossip – a reminder that even a new technology can be misused.

A Timeless Gem

"Now You're Talking" may be a product of its time, but the core message of kindness and respect during communication transcends generations. The animation is a charming reminder of the Fleischer Brothers' ingenuity, and the film itself is a short and sweet piece of entertainment. So next time you pick up the phone, remember the wise words (or rather, wiggles) of the friendly telephone in "Now You're Talking."

Laughter and Lightning Bolts: Exploring the Zany World of "Bold King Cole" (1936)

 Step back into the golden age of animation and rediscover a forgotten gem: "Bold King Cole" (1936). This colorful and wacky cartoon from Van Beuren Studios features none other than Felix the Cat himself, encountering a boastful king and a cast of hilarious characters. "Bold King Cole" is a delightful blend of slapstick humor, musical interludes, and surprising twists, making it a must-watch for animation enthusiasts and Felix the Cat fans alike.

A King with a Flair for the Dramatic (and Lightning)

The story revolves around King Cole, a portly monarch known for his braggadocio. His exaggerated tales of fearlessness attract the attention of some unruly ghosts from his family's past. These spectral pranksters decide to teach the king a lesson about humility through a series of outlandish and electrically charged gags.

Enter Felix the Cat: The Master of Mischief (and Magic)

Felix the Cat, known for his impish grin and bag of tricks, stumbles upon the commotion at King Cole's castle while seeking shelter from a storm. He soon finds himself caught in the middle of the ghostly mayhem. However, Felix, with his signature magic bag of tricks (and a healthy dose of lightning conducted through a suit of armor), becomes an unlikely ally for the king.

A Feast for the Senses: A Technicolor Treat

"Bold King Cole" stands out for being one of the first Felix the Cat cartoons produced in full color. The animation, while simple by today's standards, is full of charm and energy. The cartoon also boasts a lively musical score that perfectly complements the slapstick action on screen.

A Forgotten Treasure: Rediscovering a Classic

"Bold King Cole" (1936) marked the final theatrical release of a Felix the Cat cartoon for over two decades. Despite its historical significance and undeniable entertainment value, the cartoon remains somewhat obscure to modern audiences.

A Legacy of Laughter: The Enduring Appeal of Felix the Cat

"Bold King Cole" (1936) is a hilarious reminder of Felix the Cat's enduring legacy. The cartoon's combination of slapstick humor, colorful animation, and a timeless character continues to entertain audiences of all ages. So, if you're looking for a short and sweet animated adventure filled with laughs and lightning, then "Bold King Cole" (1936) is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

The cruise ship is based on a design from Freepik.com as are the hula girls. I had to learn the basics of hula dance for this animation. I've also included some squash and stretch with the beach ball. It took a bit of thought to create the tree shadows, which I admit aren't perfect as the shadows darken where they overlap. The music is a freebie from Youtube Audio Library. I've also included Sheppy from the MOHO library.
