Later, Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby Jr.(More known as Bing Crosby) Would become a great singer and actor. He was the first multimedia star, he was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century Worldwide. He was a leader in record Sales, radio ratings, and motion picture grosses from 1926 to 1977. He was one of the first global cultural Icons. He made over 70 feature films and recorded more than 1,600 songs. Source:Wikipedia
Most of the sequence is by Nolan. Some of the scenes are by other staff-- for example, Abrams animates the sequence with Oswald, and the scene with the elephant soaking up the oasis is by Moreno.
@@skinnyweenie8679 Mickey and Oswald are both good imo also I'm pretty sure fiddlesticks was the first in color edit 2: I was wrong, it was the first color cartoon w/ sound so yeah The Debut Of Thomas Cat is the first color cartoon. wish we got footage of it tho
@@22snazario ) this actually came out first. "Fiddlesticks" was only released in colour in England. a cartoon called "Goofy Goat Antics" was also made in color but the color version hasn't been found. "Flowers & Trees" was the first film ( not just animation ) to use "Three Strip Technicolor"
I'm pretty sure that it is also Bing Crosby's voice that is heard as the 'Paul Whiteman' character is singing "My Lord delivered Daniel" at 0:53 - 1:01 . (also the "OUCH" at 1:13) . I could be wrong about that , but seems natural that they would have tapped Crosby to do all those vocals. Possibly one of the other "Rhythm Boys" , Harry Barris or Al Rinker, but Bing was the "star" , so it seems more likely he would have done all the voice work here.
wait really, cause I thought some parts were done by Ray Abrams, though I could tell Bill Nolan animated some portions though which may have explained a lot
Some parts, like the lion showing his teeth, and the monkey throwing the coconut was animated by ray Abrams. It's not as gooey like as early bill nolan, who mainly does the rest of the short
The main character of this cartoon is an animated version of Jazz orchestra leader Paul Whitman. Cool to see Oswald the Lucky Rabbit make a cameo in this one, though!!!
i find it odd how in lots of promotional material for oswald, he's seen with a variety of shorts, red, checkered, lined etc, yet here they chose a greenish blue (?)
They didn't settle on it until Oswald was redesigned to a real rabbit, which they settled with red suspenders. Around 2004 they brung back his older design, but changed his fur to blue and his pants to orange. and then in Epic Mickey, settled on blue shorts.
1:56 :There shadows aren’t black 2:04 :Oswald the lucky rabbit, that snake is wearing a hat, has a bird like head and has a tail attached to the right side of his body 2:13 :The water isn’t blue 2:26 :The monkey threw a coconut at the man instead of the elephant
1:56 The colored shadows seem like an aesthetic/artistic choice to bring more color and style into the animation 2:04 The tail looks like that because the snake is coiled 2:13 I think the water is brown bc it's supposed to be muddy 2:26 The monkey probably missed
@@bunniifangz Not an artistic choice; Disney, before 1934, owned the full rights to the 3-strip Technicolor process. As a result, studios like Lantz (the ones who animated this) had to use the 2-strip Cinecolor process, where the colors were just red, white, green, brown, and black.
@@villalobosedwin1214 yeah but if they could've just used a darker reddish shade for the shadows if they were meant to be just ordinary shadows, still sticking with the limitations of the 2-color process
NO , this is not the first animated film ever made. And mentioning Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in relation to The King of Jazz is a non sequitur , because no one has ever claimed that Snow White was the first animated film. I think what you were attempting to say was that this segment from The King of Jazz (1930) was the first COLOR animated cartoon ever, predating the use of color in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. But even that is a non sequitur because no one ever claimed that Snow White was the first animated film in color. The King of Jazz sequence was the first widely released cartoon in the sound era to use 2-strip Technicolor (2-strip Technicolor had a limited range of colors , in the red and green spectrum). In fact, there were color cartoons made before 1930 , using experimental color systems. Various color systems were in development , most with a limited spectrum of colors. The gold standard was Technicolor's 3-strip system which made full use of the Red-Green-Blue spectrum. Walt Disney made the first 3-strip (Red-Green-Blue) Technicolor animation in 1932 , "Flowers and Trees". Then Walt Disney went on to make many Technicolor short animated cartoons throughout the 1930's , before releasing the first feature-length animated cartoon in 3-strip Technicolor, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937.
@@PowerAnimationsPACStayAnimated - You are correct that "The King of Jazz" animated segment shown here was not the first animated film , but there were many animated films made before 1917. Animation existed before "film" as such , shown on various types of mechanical devices , such as the Thaumatrope (1825) , Phénakisticope (1833), Zoetrope (1865), Praxinoscope (1877) . Then in 1888 Charles-Émile Reynaud patented his projection version of a Praxinoscope which he exhibited at the Théâtre Optique in Paris from 1892 to 1900. (this is still not animation on film as it later developed , but a step in that direction.) Many people would point to J. Stuart Blackton's 1906 film "Humorous Phases of Funny Faces" as the first example of drawn animation that was captured on motion picture film. The French artist Émile Cohl created the first animated film using the traditional animation method of successive hand drawn images shot on film in his film "Fantasmagorie" (1908). Noted comic strip artist Winsor McCay who created the comic strip "Little Nemo in Slumberland" brought his characters to life in his animated Little Nemo film in 1911. McCay's drawings were amazingly detailed and moved with a fluid movement. Little Nemo was not shot on color film, but each film print was hand-colored . McCay followed this with his 1914 film "Gertie the Dinosaur", which had even more sophisticated character animation. McCay's other animated films include "How a Mosquito Operates"(1912) and "The Sinking of the Lusitania" (1918). Other early animation pioneers such as Raoul Barré and J.R. Bray organized animation studios that were regularly producing animated films from about 1914.
