I thought it would be nice to kind of cover the history of animation, from the 30s Midnight In A Toy Shop for the first, and the recent Tick Tock Tale for the last (also as that has the London connection).
But what for the second? I’ve looked at the three Warners books come to life ones from the late 30s (Have You Got Any Castles, Speaking Of The Weather, Book Revue), but they’re not as "right" as I remember…I do recall another similar cartoon where it was like an antiques shop or, indeed, a museum of some kind, that came to life, though I may just be mixing all those ones up!
Anyone got any ideas for a "middle" short? It would be cool if it came from later, like around the 50s, though that’s not really important, natch, as it would be color so a progression from the Disney Toy Shop opener. At the Moment I’m leaning to Castles, since it’s the funniest and the references are still probably just about known, but I’d love it if there were any others that popped in anyone's minds?
(I did think about the Fleischers' Reggedy Anns, but they’re a little dry and quite sad, not so great for a comedy pairing!) Thanks!
