We're at the Mardi Gras
Unusual creatures populated the Fleischer world at one time, and it’s pretty evident during a pan of the crowd at the opening of the Popeye cartoon “King of the Mardi Gras.”

The backgrounds here supposedly were based on Luna Park at Coney Island in Brooklyn.
ReplyDeleteWonder if LP was also an inspiration for Pleasure Island in Pinocchio?
DeleteThis is one of my favorite cartoons. The roller coaster sounds like a very old wooden roller coaster I had the pleasure to ride at Riverview in Chicago. The backgrounds and animation manage to complete the feel better than any other roller coaster than I have seen in any other cartoon. Luna Park must have been something if it was the inspiration for this short!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it inspired plenty at the time.
