Lots of great material to study this time! A high resolution e-book featuring the work of one of the most important political cartoonists of all time, a rare reel of Chiquita Banana theatrical commercials from 1947, and two rare Fleischer bouncing ball cartoons you can still frame through and study. That’s 330 pages of great cartooning and almost 40 minutes of rare classic animation. If you aren’t a member of Animation Resources yet, WHY NOT?

ANIMATION RESOURCES MEMBERS: Sorry For The Delay

The May/June Reference Pack has been delayed. It should be available this weekend. We prepared an e-book for it only to discover that it is slated to be republished in hardback soon. We strive to always present material that isn’t available elsewhere, so we shelved that book and prepared another one. That is why we are a little late this time. Thanks for your patience!

Animation: The Wan Brothers’ Princess Iron Fan

Cartoonist, illustrator, painter, Renaissance man Milton Knight stopped by this week. He brought along a donation to the archive database… an amazing DVD trilogy of Chinese animated features called Uproar in Heaven…. The earliest one is titled…

PRINCESS IRON FAN (1941)

Uproar In Heaven

This bizarre animated feature was made just a few short years after Disney’s Snow White, but it more closely resembles the early 30s Fleischer cartoons. It’s a strange mix of primitive drawing, technical rotoscoping and imaginative metamorphosis… even a sexy girl!

Uproar In Heaven

Later in this post, you’ll find a documentary on the making of this incredible film. If you have any more information to add, please post the information to the comments link below, and I’ll add them to this article.
