Near Mint, 400' in a worn OB - $39

• THE NEW CAR - 1931 Flip the Frog cartoon. A lot of good things here. The animation is great, with beautifully detailed backgrounds, nice shading and characters that aren't drawn too crudely. The music makes even more of an impact, it is lushly and cleverly orchestrated, full of lively energy and not only adds brilliantly to the action it enhances it. Mint Blackhawk Films black & white print in the OB - $69

• THE CUCKOO MURDER CASE - 1930 Flip the Frog cartoon. The Cuckoo Bird residing in an old clock in a creepy old mansion is shot dead by an unknown assailant; Flip the Frog is called in to investigate. A film-noir in a 1930 cartoon?

• ESKIMO TRAILS - A Father Hubbard Adventure produced in the 1930's, narrated by Lowell Thomas. Mint in the OB - $29
• FARO NELL - 1929 Al Christie sound comedy starring Louise Fazenda. It has a brand of humour that you either get or you don't. If you don't, you are likely looking at it on the surface too much. The melodramatic awfulness of the dialogue is clearly an intentional throwback to the silent 'horse operas' of 20 years earlier. Pre-code sexual innuendo abounds in this one but you need to be paying attention to catch most of it. Altogether, FARO NELL is a comedic gem that deserves rediscovery. Near Mint 400' - $39

When the forest animals wonder how to store their food through the winter, Velvet the Fawn remembers seeing humans decorate a Christmas tree.
