MGM - Jackie the Lion, Cartoon 1939

[Mgmgirl1]

This is awesome! This should've been used in all of the MGM cartoons instead of the scary logos with Coffee and Tanner.

[quizmaster85]

Why they didn't use this in animated shorts in those days I'll never know...

[MrAnimenerd93]

the animation is just... amazing

[bogercs]

the lion, the logo and the animation.

[Mwahohoho]

Cool, but the growling is sorta funny, burp?

[BenBopper]

This makes it less scary for me.

[MattTheSaiyan]

Wow - They should bring this back!

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Now, this is really cool.

[retroguy1976]

they shoulda used that for tom and jerry

[inkedwell]

I think this would've been far more suitable than Tanner in front of the cartoons of the 40s, wonder why they shelved it after only one cartoon.

[MDthornton83]

Wow! Pretty cool animated lion!

[yilmazkurt001]

wow better than the real lion!

[yohannbiimu]

Actually, it IS a real lion. They took footage of the real MGM lion and used a process called "rotoscoping" to draw from the actual images of the lion frame-by-frame. Max Fleischer invented that process back before the 1920's, and his studio used it heavily in the film "Gulliver's Travels." Max Fleischer owned the patent for the process; however, people got around it all the time, such as in this case.

It is also the technique they used for the Phillip K Dick's A Scanner Darkly if I am correct here

[Mwahohoho]

@yohannbiimu
