At 2:28 the soundtrack is a commercially-available Victor 78 RPM record; "Mama Ines" by the Havana Novelty Orchestra (a pseudonym for the Nat Shilkret Orchestra), recorded in 1930. (The demonic laughter is part of the record!) It is nothing short of brilliant that the action so perfectly matches a dance record.
Before that it's another Victor cut - "By Heck" from another Shilkret date (International Novelty Orch.) The budget had obviously run out for an original score - this is the only Flip cartoon without one.
@@RatPfink66 This is one of the first cartoons I ever saw as a tot. The Flip cartoons were a part of afternoon kiddie programing back in Minneapolis. I carried that melody in my head for 70 years, before I heard a version by Xavier Cugat that instantly whipped me back to this cartoon. It's still a regular earworm to this day.
And the one I remember since I first saw it as a 4-year-old. One more: the spooky haunted house one with the skeleton who invites Flip to dinner (the skeleton of a chicken).
Ha! The hanky-waving, 'light in the loafers' guy is a Hollywood representation of what a gay man was, in those days. It's a perfume, Eau de Pansy, that transforms the monster back into the 'sissy', or 'pansy'. My very first image of a gay man, though at 4 years old, I had no idea what it meant.
Part of the early 1930s pansy craze, a homosexual. The Hays code banned depictions of "Sexual Perverts" in 1934, my guess is that and all the stars used without permission would have shut this down.
@@durece100 Yep! It's my way of exposing the yadayada most comments on social media represent to me. Yours, however, is remarkably lucid. I love lucid, but don't call me Ricky.
The man with the long beard is a caricature of Lionel Barrymore when he portrayed the title character in Svengali.
! ! ! All these years I thought it was supposed to be Rasputin! Thanks.
You mean John Barrymore...Lionel's younger brother.

I had heard that a while back - some of these later Iwerks cartoons just used music from commercial 78s, but to great effect

This era in pop music was one everybody in the 1940s and 50s wanted to forget! The only way to be exposed to it was movies and cartoons.
So...the Jekyll/Hyde formula is soda, hair tonic, tacks, bugspray and ink?
I haven't tried it yet, but there's a first time for everything.
Gotta love Flip the frog
Hes best edit: need get a shirt
And I have, for about 70 years now.
1:01 Are those the 4 Marx Brothers?
Yes. Groucho (cigar), Chico (pronounced "Chick-o), Harpo (with horn) and Zeppo.
Yes those are the four Marx brothers.
@@christineklinger There was a fifth, Gummo. I don't think he was an actor.
@@DavidSmith-sb2ix you are correct Gummo left the group before they got their first film deal, they replaced him with Zeppo
@@egpmh2891 Gummo did some vaudeville but became a theatrical agent and producer. I think he helped do some TV shows in the 50s.
I think that is Fredrich March--the monster-transformation sequence references one of his roles.
In the movie "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1931).
I also see Jimmy Durante and Buster Keaton, and Mae West!
Joe E. Brown at 2:39
Frederick Kruse *2:39
Also John Barrymore as Svengali
At least flips last cartoon was great.
And the one I remember since I first saw it as a 4-year-old. One more: the spooky haunted house one with the skeleton who invites Flip to dinner (the skeleton of a chicken).
came out the same year as Mickey's Gala Premiere
Always wanted to visit an Old Timey Soda Shop like this one
Just make sure the soda-jerk doesn't put ink and tacks in the drink
Some of flips facial expressions look like cupheads facial expressions.
What the f*ck Flip put in that soda ?
Eau de Pansy 🤣😂🤣
Vito (2011) brought me here ❤️
😁 Good catch!
who is that on 2:00 ?
Marx brothers
MrXnews2 thx
What's going on in this episode? I'm so confused. 😱

is the guy with the @2:45 Liberace
I thought maybe it was, but he would've been 14 in '33, so it can't be. My next guess would be Bette Davis?

面白い！！
Okay 👍 I’ll be him
And the Three Stooges?
ub iwerks. ugh (shakes head in disapointment and disgust)
What's wrong with you?
Ub was God's cartoonist. Ugh Eyeworks was the devil's.
@@durece100 He's afflicted with adverse Ubliness, I think.
