Terry-Toons Cinemascope Cartoons

Topsy TV (1957) It’s A Living (1957)

In the mid-1950s theatrical films were being challenged by television. In order to compete, movie studios started producing films that used techniques that television couldn’t imitate- 3D and widescreen in particular. The two films we are sharing with you in this Reference Pack are photographed in Cinemascope, one of the widest aspect ratios ever used. You’ll notice that the animators keep the action in the center of the screen most of the time. This is probably because they knew that these cartoons would eventually be broadcast on television. The irony of that self imposed limitation couldn’t have been lost on them.

It’s rare to see widescreen cartoons in their original aspect ratio. We are fortunate that Animation Resources Advisory Board member, Steve Stanchfield came across these original theatrical prints and transferred them for us. We are sharing them with you in high definition. Please forgive the longer than normal download time.

Animation: Vincent Waller’s Doodles

Concept drawing from "Rubber Nipple Salesmen"

Here are a few drawings by my friend Vincent Waller… Vincent directed the classic Ren & Stimpy cartoon, "Rubber Nipple Salesmen" , and was a Directing Animator on R&S: Adult Party Cartoon. When I worked with him, he was careful to not throw out his side doodles. He would toss them in a box under his desk marked “For Steve”. What a pal! Vincent is the Creative Director of Sponge Bob Square Pants now. See what he’s up to lately by visiting his wonderful blog, Incoherent Thought.
