Flip's new car
Ub Iwerks's Flip the Frog series of cartoons was short-lived, only lasting from 1930 to 1933. On the most part the Flip the Frog cartoons are not great or cartoon/animated masterpieces and it is sort of understandable as to why Flip didn't make it bigger. However they are far from terrible ones either and do hold some interest.
Despite not being historically significant like 'Fiddlesticks' was, 'The New Car' for me is among the best Flip the Frog cartoons alongside up to this point (so in correlation with the previous cartoons) 'The Village Barber', 'Laughing Gas', 'Ragtime Romeo' and particularly 'Cuckoo Murder Case'. It is a good cartoon, it is not perfect but there are things here that improve quite a bit and done much better than many other Flip the Frog cartoons.
A lot of good things in 'The New Car'. The animation is good, 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.
There are more sight gags than the previous Flip the Frog cartoons, and they are very funny and suitably bizarre, the surrealism of the atmosphere is one of the cartoon's most striking assets. This is easily one of the funniest and wildest cartoon in the series. There is a nice natural charm, a good deal of zest and it does a better job than most Flip the Frog cartoons in not falling into sentimentality or cutesiness, though occasionally there are signs. Really liked the car.
Flip is a bit bland personality-wise though and the car salesman is characterised in a way that jars somewhat with the rest of the cartoon.
Overall though, good and very well done. 8/10 Bethany Cox
