Mimiche
February 8, 2008 4:00 am
Here’s a rare treat—thanks to YouTube. Milton Knight discovered this upload of a rare 9.5mm silent home movie film featuring Mimiche (a character previously known as Mish-Mish). About the animators, Milton says: While we are on the subject, here’s another animated rarity on YouTube, from France — a cartoon by Andre Rigal about the prevention of accidents at work, Monstres Museles . |
Wow! Now that IS a fun & rare treat! Thank YOO, Milton!!
Random fact of the day: “Mish mish” in arabic means “apricots” lol
Thanks for posting this! I had no idea there were animators from Egypt.
Here is a link to a history of the Frenkels, the sort of animation history that inspires me…under adversity and by the skin of the creators’ teeth!

A lot of a Boris Artzybasheff feel to the anthropomorphic machinery in Montres Museles.
