FP: STOP MOTION MATINEE is not the subject of discussion in that link, but the debate of certain assumptions regarding Public Domain films. I hope everyone will come to appreciate Tom’s new release. Let’s support one of our younger enthusiasts, folks.

I’ve been following this guy for a while. He’s a true animation nerd, in the best way.

The kind of guy who visits buildings where Van Buren (or was it Charles Mintz?) used to be, and posts videos of it on YouTube.

Speaking of nerds, I think he knows the Angry Video Game Nerd, or is a friend-of-a-friend.

Synchronicity! I just read this entry, and then I popped over to archive.org’s discussion forums for the first time in weeks. STOP MOTION MATINEE is being discussed there by both Mr Stathes and Mr Pointer.

Arnold Liebovit owns the PUPPETOONS held by the Pal Estate. The others may still be owned by Paramount and others. But that is not the scope of this program, which centers on earlier stop motion works as the packaging clearly desribes.

Thanks for the plug, Jerry—what did I do to deserve my infamy? Here’s wishing some on Tom and Ray, too (in the best possible way, of course!) for this exciting collection.
Along with the classic stop motion shorts, you get a few classic music hall-era songs on the added soundtracks. Listen for “Oh! By Jingo” backing up Starewicz’s REVENGE OF THE KINEMATOGRAPH CAMERAMAN.
