Food For Feudin' (1950)

 

I was recently browsing through old cartoons, mostly not watching them but still experiencing what the small details have to offer and there was this one short I had to talk about now that it's literally autumn for real. It's a Disney animated short called Food for Feudin' (1950).

Now obviously I didn't watch the full cartoon because I thought it was going to be boring or straight up annoying, I'm not a fan of both Pluto and Chip and Dale but the backgrounds were genuinely pleasent and the right amount of colors the fall season resembles. Reds greens, yellows and oranges.

I didn't really have much time to truly sink in the feel of this cartoon mostly because the antics that these outlandish chipmunks do really irritate me. I love the crafty look of the trees and leftover leaves in the grass.

I use these images for studying and examining more natural elements on creating something, this is a perfect example of a cartoon that uses really decent color schemes, even though the other bits don't particularly interest me in the slightest.

If your interested in topics like this I have other posts that relate.

Expressions In Pluto's Sweater

Today's another day to watch a few cartoons.

The one I'm talking about most is Pluto's Sweater (1949). This one is interesting and I'm actually glad I watched it because it's one of my favorite Pluto cartoons so far.

The characters featured in this short are Pluto, Figaro and Minnie Mouse.

Just watching this short, I did not realize that Figaro's personality was going to be this malicious even after watching Pinocchio. He was a good fit for the classic disney shorts.

I'm already liking the plot of this cartoon so far. Pluto has to wear this uncomfortable sweater Minnie made. But just when it reaches the 2 minute mark, something unexpected happens.

We get some good bit of expressive animation.

I know I haven't watched every Pluto cartoon but I don't think I ever seen Pluto frightened like that ever even with the solid animation.

That was... shocking. Yet I liked it.

But wait... I catched another scene in which Pluto sees himself in the mirror with the sweater.

I was laughing when I saw this. I never expected the Disney animators to have some unique and funny facial expressions in this even in a Pluto cartoon.

Yeah. I know, I might like the cartoon a bit more when they use quirky faces but honestly, I really think Pluto's expressions here make this more watchable.

I get that feeling with Pluto's expressions in Cold Storage (1951) which also is one of my favorite Pluto cartoons so far.

Pluto cartoons tend to be more safe than the Goofy, Donald and Silly Symphony cartoons, which I don't really like somehow. It's like Looney Tunes's Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons and MGM's Barney Bear cartoons. It just isn't entertaining than the more smarter and interesting cartoons.
