Now operating in Miami, the Fleischer studio begins to systematically rid itself of everything that made it the greatest cartoon studio of the decade. Crews shift, droves of Hollywood animators and storymen arrive to help with Gulliver's Travels, and the sailor is now getting shoehorned into inappropriate stories. We get one more Popeye two-reeler in Technicolor, a step down from the previous two but still a triumph for director Dave Tendlar nonetheless, and one last one-reel masterpiece that's likely the greatest cartoon about gaslighting ever (all concocted by J. Wellington Wimpy).
Cartoons discussed:
- Customers Wanted
- Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp
- Leave Well Enough Alone
- Wotta Nitemare
- Ghosks is the Bunk
- Hello- How Am I?
- It's the Natural Thing to Do
- Never Sock a Baby
