Flip The Frog - Fiddlesticks

This cartoon was created by Ub Iwerks in 1930. He had drawn a frog and his girlfriend in "Night'", one of the last Silly Symphonies short films he drew while working for Walt Disney.

After leaving Disney, Ub Iwerks began the Flip cartoon series with the help of Pat Powers. The first cartoon that Ub Iwerks made for the series was called Fiddlesticks (released on August 16, 1930), and it was also the first color sound cartoon ever made. Fiddlesticks was made in two-color Technicolor. The rest of the Flip series were made in black and white, except for Techno-Cracked (1933).

FIDDLESTICKS is perhaps the least funny and entertaining of the FLIP cartoons, many of which have surprisingly adult gags.

Actually, the most vulgar I've seen with my 10 year old cousin on Cartoon Network is having the cartoon characters score "second base." And YES! I'm talking about a "children's" cartoon, not MTV.

I just love the simplicities of these classic. It's such a shame that they hide them from everybody.

I'm just an 18 year old who enjoys animation to death and hates seeing such work hidden from everybody.
