@an.i.ma.tion: Another passage from "Snow-White" (1933), the point where the fairy tale dissolves into delirium. The witch becomes a dragon, a skull, a ghost, each form melting into the next without a cut. Every change drawn by hand, frame to frame, no compositing, no optical tricks. Cab Calloway’s voice begins to rise, the real Cab, rotoscoped from live footage into Koko the Clown’s ghost, drifting through “St. James Infirmary Blues.” There’s nothing else like it in American animation, elegant, macabre, and completely absurd. #animation #weirdcore #fleischer #snowwhite #bettyboop

Ghostemane

Fun Fact: This was also one of the first instance where a black performer (Cab Calloway) was credited in voice work for animation. This was also rotoscoped (drawn directly from live action footage) after Cab Calloway for his unique style. He went on to inspire Michael Jackson.

old cartoons are so creepy... but Cab Calloway being immortalized in this one makes it ok. he also inspired Danny Elfman, not just Michael Jackson!

O.P.O :

every damn time I watch this art

Max Kuznetcov875 :

got to hand it to the animators of Fleischer studios, they did huge job by rotoscoping Cab's dance, but maintaining this strange ghostly design of the character and adding some visual gags along the way, and STILL make this look structured, with fluid movements

Isaac A :

A glass coffin? Remains to be seen.

Carla Nicole :

This is probably my favorite animation ever.
