Product Description
In the early 1930s, Mickey Mouse was the king of cartoons and every studio attempted to capture some of the same success. The Van Beuren Studio chose Cubby Bear, who appeared in 20 cartoons between 1933 and 1934. Created by studio animator Mannie Davis, these charming cartoons are among the best every produced at the short-lived studio. They feature surreal gags, crazy animation and great jazzy soundtracks. Presented here are all 20 cartoons, including one that was never released.
The Golden Age of Cartoons: The Complete Adventures of Cubby Bear Review
MACKINAC MEDIA's THE COMPLETE ADVENTURES OF CUBBY BEAR consists of 19 animation shorts released to theaters in 1933-34, plus one 'toon from the vaults ("Mischievous Mice"). Also included are four pages of liner notes and a DVD animation stills gallery.
For a brief time, VAN BEUREN's Cubby Bear was Mickey Mouse's main rival. Although Cubby 'toons did look a bit like Disney's work, they tended to be rougher, had jazzier soundtracks and were surreal (ala early Fleisher Studio animations). Cubby was renamed 'Brownie Bear' when these shorts were released on home-use 16mm prints.
Created by Mannie Davis, "Cubby" shorts had many directors, including Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising, who both went on to pioneer WARNER BROS. animation division with their "Bosko" character (who resembles Cubby).
Also recommended for fans of early sound animation is POPEYE THE SAILOR: 1933-1938, which contains 58 classic Fleisher Studios shorts.
