ANIMATION - HISTORY OF ANIMATION VOL. 1
This first volume contains some of the earliest examples of various forms of animation in
films. From stop-motion, to clay-mation to pen and ink drawings, all represented here. J
Stuart Blackton's "HUMOROUS PHASES OF FUNNY
FACES" leads off as one of the earliest known examples
of trick-film animation. Also on this compilation are such titles as "PRINCESS NICOTINE" , "THE EVILS OF ALCOHOL" where social
messages were combined with animation and humor, "SWAT
THE FLY", "MORPHEUS
MIKE". "THE TIRED TAILORS
DREAM" is a stop-motion fantasy comedy , "RATS IN THE GARRET" features Farmer
Alfalfa as he hires an exterminator to rid him of rodents only who gets the best of who?.
"ALICE THE WHALER" combines live
action over animated drawings by Walt Disney.
"NEUMAN'S LAUGH-O-GRAM"
(featuring a young Walt Disney utilizes the "fast drawing" style of animation)
and much more.

HISTORY OF ANIMATION VOL. 2
The years between 1900 and 1920 are represented in this second volume of animated films
which include pen drawings, cut-out animation, clay puppets in stop motion and a
combination of live action with animated effects. "THE
ENCHANTED DRAWING" (Edison, 1900) is a combination of live
action with "lightening sketch" effect as is "FUN
IN A BAKERY SHOP" (Edison, 1902). What might be described as
animated comic strips are represented by "KEEPING
UP WITH THE JONESES" (Women's Styles) and "KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES" (Men's
Styles). Also included are "DREAMY DUD"
and "DUD LEAVES HOME" (Essanay
1915), "BOBBY BUMBS STARTS A LODGE" (Bray,
1916), some early Krazy Kat cartoons including "GOES
A-WOOING", "BUGOLOGIST",
"KRAZY & IGNATZ AT THE CIRCUS"
(1916), Raoul Barre's "PHABLE OF A BUSTED
ROMANCE", "PHAT
WOMAN" and "NEVER
AGAIN" (916) and more.

ATTACK OF THE COHL PUMPKINS Emile Cohl was one of the pioneering "fathers of animation" and trick films. Some of his films appear like the French farce comedies of Pathe'-Freres and others are of the stop-motion animated fantasy style. This collection features four movies that include "THE PUMPKIN CHASE" in which everybody chases after some huge errant pumpkins that roll down the street, into the sewers, through houses, up chimneys and seem to have a life of their own until returning to the cart they fell off of. Also on the tape is "THE JOYIOUS MICROBES" A scientist is visited by a colleague who looks into a microscope. What we see is a series of animated line drawings that turn into various forms and figures of prominent people of the time .Other unusual cartoon effects are created also. Following is "THE NEO-IMPRESSIONIST PAINTER" .While sitting and painting with a model, an artist is visited by a customer. He proceeds to show him various bizarre animated drawings of such things as a devil playing billiards, boats and animals and clowns. "THE BEWITCHED MATCHES" starts off wit a clockmaker's nieces having their fortunes told by a witch. The watchmaker enters and ejects the witch who puts a vengeful curse on a box of matches on his desk. Through the use of stop-motion animation, the matches take on a variety of shapes and images.

AN AMERICAN RETROSPECTIVE THROUGH ANIMATION 1948-1954
Classic cartoons depict the story of the American way in the 40's and 50's.
This series, produced by John Sutherland and others, was made "to strengthen and
preserve out American freedom through understanding." Billed as "fun and facts
about American business," these cartoons are fine, full animation gems to rival
any major studio cartoon production. GOING PLACES
shows how an idea can lead to a product and employment for all!
MEET KING JOE discovers the American worker,
and why he is king of the work forces of the world. WHY
PLAY LEAP FROG finds increased wages for King Joe (the American
worker), can actually cost him money! ALBERT IN
BLUNDERLAND explores how too much government control causes loss of
freedoms. INSIDE CACKLE CORNER takes you to
a town of chickens where businesses compete for Mrs. Consumer (in this case,
Mrs. Hen). THE LITTLEST GIANT, the American
consumer, controls and directs businesses with money he borrows. The animation,
anti-communism messages, and style of these cartoons will delight you. The
history of America in animation.

WILLIS O'BRIEN PRIMITIVES
 Long before KING KONG was made, it's creator Willis O'Brien was involved in stop-frame animation of figures. As far back as the Edison Studio days he was making these novel short films. Among the titles included are "PREHISTORIC POULTRY" (Edison Studios, c1917) , "CREATION" , "R.F.D. 10,000"(Edison c1917) , "DINOSAUR AND THE MISSING LINK"(Edison c1917) Miss Araminta Rockface inspires devotion from "the Duke" and Stonejaw Steve, who compete for her affections. Ivoryhead is our trickster antihero, and Wild Willie--the "missing link"--is a local terror who appears first in a dead tree looking like a sociopathological and anorexic Kong. When he steals food from the gathering of humanoids, the three males must go hunt down more to salvage what will be an entirely carnivorous banquet. One fellow shoots an arrow at a giant quail but hits another fellow in the butt. While Ivoryhead fishes, Wild Willie decides to catch snakes for his dinner. He pulls on the serpentine tail of a dinosaur who is drinking from the lake and in the ensuing fight is thrown and dies. Ivoryhead happens on the scene, pokes at the missing link's corpse, and feels secure enough to pose nobly with his foot on the deceased's chest. The others witness this tableau and Ivoryhead pontificates: "Yes yes--a mere trifle. He irritated me and I was forced to kill him." Kisses and praise end the scene. In the short "MORPHEUS MIKE" (1917), Willis O'Brien claymation film, a woman hangs her laundry out to dry, but a goat steals the clothes. Morpheus Mike, a hobo, rescues the laundry, returns it, and awaits some food as his reward, which the goat secretly and this time successfully steals. Mike smokes his pipe and has a dream of being in a restaurant during prehistoric days. Choosing from a hieroglyphic menu, Mike is served by a mastodon, not very successfully. His large ostrich egg hatches at the table, and his "trunk of soup" is squirted on him. He awakens during the soup deluge to find a bucket of water being dumped on him from an overhead window. Next, excerpts from his silent era masterpiece, "THE LOST WORLD" in which he achieved the most life-like illusion to date of animated stop-motion dinosaurs and real life photography. With the coming of sound he would continue with "KING KONG" and "MIGHTY JOE YOUNG" before handing over the reigns to such artists as Ray Harryhausen.

This is by far the rarest
item I've offered. Animation buffs, barber shop collectors, as well as
uniform collectors will find this a must have! A family member who used to
be a barber in the 1940's aquired this children's hair cutting cape which
was sold exclusively to barbers and not offered on the general market as
were so many other Disney items. It is, as the label on the cape says, a
Martin Murray Original made by the Hollywood Uniform Company of Los Angeles.
It is in excellent to near mint conditon as it was not used often and has
been put away these past 50 years. It is 100 per cent Nylon with no
stains, tears or repairs. |

SALES TAX
Sales taxes may have to be included with your charges depending on individual state
regulations.
SHIPPING-
VHS videos weigh more and therefore cost more to ship than a DVD. A single
video costs $4.98 for U.S. customers. Each
additional video should add $1.00 to costs.
Canadian fees need a quote from us based on your quantity.
Overseas shipping vary too much for a generic quote so
email us with your quantities and we will compute your best options.
We use U.S. mail or private carrier services depending on the best cost versus
package size and insurance. All videos are insured for delivery and will be
replaced if damaged or undelivered within the Post Office's time frame (usually
30 days maximum). A-1 video does not issue refunds for undelivered or damaged
tapes but will replace the order at our expense. Any special shipping such as 2-day or overnight must be
authorized by the purchaser for us to expedite your order.
DVD shipping costs are lower and will be computed for your domestic U.S. zip
code.
International customers will have their orders computed as well before your
total is emailed to you.
Overnight Express orders start at $20. for domestic
service.
DELIVERY
We can fill most tape orders within one to three weeks maximum. In some cases it is only a
matter of days if we have inventory on the shelf. Any delays beyond that time period and
A-1 will notify you. 16mm prints ordered through our film division may take longer as they
are generally made to order on an as-need basis.
