The blending of the dinosaur in the water with the kids in the boat is seamless. It's only slightly obvious that the head of the dinosaur uses puppeteering, which is far more realistic than the stop-motion animation that was so big at the time. All this from a Czech film??? Crazy! <div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">EDIT:</span> I just noticed that the reason the kids in the boat looking on when the dinosaur has entered the water looks seamless is because IT IS. The kids in the boat in the background of that shot are also puppets. Something I didn't catch at all the first time I watched, and only just now noticed because I was looking so hard at it. </div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">EDIT 2:</span> Having checked out a few other scenes from the film, I noticed that there is indeed a great deal of stop-motion animation used in it. Just not in that particular scene above. Even so, the stop-motion seems on par with the great Ray Harryhausen.</div> | Vaporman87 | Apr 06, 2016 | ![]() |

30817 | Weird cartoons | Edd, who produced that cartoon? The animation seems very similar to Roger Ramjet, Peabody & Sherman, and others. | Vaporman87 | Apr 06, 2016 | ![]() |

30812 | Weird cartoons | You guys all know Total Television, the creators of Tennessee Tuxedo and Underdog.<div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">When you go back to 1959/1960 TTV aired a very unique cartoon called "King Leonardo and his Short Subjects", later renamed, "The King and Odie Show". While only mildly popular at the time this cartoon had one of the most unusual plots:</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">Biggie Rat, the master criminal, wants to overthrow King Leonardo and take over the royal throne as "King of Beasts". But Biggie Rat knows that the other animals of the kingdom will never accept a rat as their ruler so Biggie Rat convinces the king's stupid brother, Itchy, that he's a more fit ruler than Leonardo and with his help Itchy will be the next King of Beasts. But Biggie knows that Itchy is so dumb he can never rule without his help.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">So Itchy will become Biggie's "stooge", a puppet king with Biggie behind the scenes pulling all the strings. Biggie will be the real power behind the throne while the rest of the animal kingdom will be none the wiser with Itchy playing the fool for Biggie the Master.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal;">WOW! Is that a cartoon plot <span style="font-style: italic;">or what?</span></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal;">I never really got into "The King and Odie Show", but there was one fascinating character: <span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Mad</span>.</span></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">See if you agree with me:</span></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oxqQ8tuWsH0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | eddstarr | Apr 06, 2016 | ![]() |
