Title: KO-KO SONG CAR-TUNES
Product review: I've been fortunate enough to view an advance release copy of this charming, entertaining, and highly educational program.Not only does it feature a nice selection of material from traditional folk songs to Tin Pan Alley tunes, it is accompanied by well researched background material and interesting visuals.But most interesting of all is the interviews discussing the concept and history of these famous "Bouncing Ball" song films,with a rare production still that shows just how the effect was produced.My favorites were "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?" and "By The Light of the Silvery Moon." The color tints are a treat as well. But most importantly, this is a look at a forgotten detail in film and animation history. These were the first pioneering efforts in joining animation with synchronized sound produced four years before Disney's STEAMBOAT WILLIE. And guess what, boys and girls? They actually work! Even the end credits are fun to watch, too.
