It’s time for another episode in our special film series “The Modern Art of Gene Deitch.” This week, we’re presenting Pump Trouble, an educational film for the American Heart Association that Deitch directed at UPA. This film is so rare that I was unable to find it while I was researching and writing Cartoon Modern, even though we put in a few of Cliff Roberts’ character designs into the book. It’s a real treat that we can now make this historical piece available online for everybody to see. Click over to Brew TV to watch Gene Deitch’s Pump Trouble. No Comments » posted in Site News

Welcome to our very special film series “The Modern Art of Gene Deitch.” Over the next few weeks, we’ll be presenting some of the rarest and most obscure modern shorts by animation legend Gene Deitch. To kick off the series, we’re starting with what is arguably his rarest film: Howdy Doody and His Magic Hat, a short that he created at the renowned mid-century animation studio UPA (United Productions of America). Lost for over half a century and only discovered last December, this film has never been publicly exhibited. Nearly sixty years later, we’re delighted and honored to present the world premiere of the film. Click over to Cartoon Brew TV to watch Gene Deitch’s Howdy Doody and His Magic Hat. |
