Movie Mad

1931 · 8 min

A breezy, silly old cartoon that plays like a string of gags, easy to dip into and forget.

Directed by
Ub Iwerks
Genres
Animation
Overview
Flip the Frog, who is basically a walking, talking, white glove, bow- tie & short-pants wearing little black frog. In this outing, Flip is introduced to us as he is reading up on how to become a movie director, which essentially comes down to dressing up like Charlie Chaplin!
How it feels
Whimsical, light, absurd and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About
Art, ambition, celebrity
Content
Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
