Pampered pooches or fabulous felines? From human companions to internet superstars who have millions of online followers and are lucrative brands, cats and dogs have long been in competition for the top spot in our affections. The BFI’s latest online collection, Cats v Dogs, available now for free on BFI Player explores this age-old infatuation. Long before the internet gave us Grumpy Cat, Surprise Kitten, Boo the Pomeranian or Minnie and Max Pugs we were capturing our fluffy friends’ antics on screen. Since the very dawn of British film cats and dogs have been central to film narratives, from Rescued by Rover (1905) through to A Street Cat Named Bob (2016) these furry stars have become popular sensations. This new archive collection uncovers our devotion to our four-legged friends, from the earliest film, Me and My Two Friends (1898) through to Look What the Cat Dragged In (2017), our affection is laid bare in delightful home movies such as Ginger Tom (1950) and Boguy and Oger at Pen y Parc (1931) from loving homes and hearths across the UK. Newsreels from cat and dog shows (Dogs of High Degree, 1922) across the decades, appearances in charity (Cats on the Hearth, 1957) and government sponsored films (Firewatch Dog, 1943), starring roles in dramas (Juno Helps Out, 1953, Rover Makes Good, 1952), comic skits (Dog Years, 2004) and even popular in animation form, introducing audiences to such loveable characters such as Bonzo the dog (Bonzo, 1924), and Charley the Cat, keeping us safe since 1973 (Matches, Strangers). Cats v Dogs is drawn from the collections of the BFI National Archive and regional and national archive partners across the UK. It’s the eternal popularity contest. But the big question is, which side are you on, #teamcat or #teamdog? Collection highlights include: Me and My Two Friends (1898) The oldest film in the collection and a strong contender for the world’s first cat video, this charming four second film showcases the pin-sharp detail of William Kennedy Laurie Dickson's unique 68mm film format. It distils many of the modern stereotypes of Victorian Britain - pictorial, sentimental in its attitude to children and animals, and intensely patriotic – in this fleeting fragment. Monarch, the Worthing lifeboat dog who features can also be seen in Launch of the Worthing Lifeboat Coming Ashore (1898). Lassie and her Dog (1901) A pet dog submits to his mistress’s beautifying ministrations, as a young girl vigorously cleans and spruces her slightly reluctant canine companion. Bonzo (1924) Long before Gromit met Wallace, a silent British dog became a cartoon star. France may have had Felix the cat, but Britain had Bonzo, a puppyish, doe-eyed loveable scoundrel who was the creation of the artist George Studdy. Cat Dog Life (1928) Filmed at Alexandra Palace and Crystal Palace during animal shows with shot after shot of cuddly kittens and dashing dogs. Proof, were it needed, that long before the internet, the British public loved looking at our four-legged friends. Firewatch Dog (1943) (Imperial War Museums) Government sponsored film featuring an English Bull Terrier warning wartime cinema goers to put their cigarettes out with more care. Almost Human (1943) (UEA’S East Anglian Film Archive) Possibly the cutest and quirkiest road safety film you are ever likely to watch, featuring a purely canine cast and a grocery shopping trip. Ginger Tom (1950) (The Box, Plymouth) Nothing but the best china for this cat in this delightful home movie of a beloved ginger tom. Rover Makes Good (1952) Not to be confused with the Edwardian canine superstar, this early film from the Children’s Film Foundation is shot around Callington in picturesque 1950s Cornwall. On holiday youngsters Sheila and Tony find themselves in unexpected danger when they get trapped in an old, disused tin mine, luckily sheepdog Rover is on hand to go to their rescue. Juno Helps Out (1953) When two school children try to help their mum with the housework, family dog Juno is enlisted too. After being sent off to do the shopping, the happy-go-lucky hound is a guest at a tea party for dolls and pets. Juno the Great Dane was trained by legendary dog handler Mary Woodhouse. Cats on the Hearth (1957) RSPCA public information film a how-to of cat ownership, from basics such as feeding and baskets, to more complex issues like adjusting a cat to a new home. A pleased puss it would seem only comes with a harmonious home. Pwtan the Kitten (1960) (Screen and Sound Archive, National Library of Wales) Pwtan, a brave and adventurous kitten, manages to find her way off the back of a rocking horse and into a flower bed where she takes on the plants. Indoors, on a sofa, she meets her match: the film- maker’s daughter. Hot Dogs (1970) (Yorkshire Film Archive) behind the scenes at a day’s whippet racing in West Yorkshire, where filmmaker Eric Hall perfectly captures the quirks of a typical local custom as practiced in 1968, with novices in winklepickers learning from the old hands. A Cat is a Cat (1971) A playful animated meditation on our feline friends with some beautiful artwork - applying mottled coloured paints directly onto animation cels - by Vera Linnecar, one of the great British women animators who worked with Halas & Batchelor, Larkins Studio and Bob Godfrey throughout her esteemed career. Matches (1973) Saving the 70s from one cat-astrophe after another, we have a lot to thank Charley the cat for. Tailoring safety messages for children young enough to play with building blocks requires strategy. With only 30 seconds to get a lesson across, a large ginger tabby cat who plays with you, looks out for you, and speaks in a hilarious garbled mewling is just the teacher you need. Dog Years (2004) Sweet and funny short about a potty-mouthed dog who loves his owner, reflecting on the complex relationship he has with his master. Look What the Cat Dragged In (2017) After Christopher becomes a prisoner in his own home, the persistence of a scratchy stranger tugs him back into reality- feet first.

  • THE ANIMATED TRAMP Charlie Chaplin's Influence on American
    THE ANIMATED TRAMP Charlie Chaplin’s Influence on American Animation By Nancy Beiman SLIDE 1: Joe Grant trading card of Chaplin and Mickey Mouse Charles Chaplin became an international star concurrently with the birth and development of the animated cartoon. His influence on the animation medium was immense and continues to this day. I will discuss how American character animators, past and present, have been inspired by Chaplin’s work. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (SLIDE 2) Jeffrey Vance described Chaplin as “the pioneer subject of today’s modern multimedia marketing and merchandising tactics”, 1 “(SLIDE 3). Charlie Chaplin” comic strips began in 1915 and it was a short step from comic strips to animation. (SLIDE 4) One of two animated Chaplin series was produced by Otto Messmer and Pat Sullivan Studios in 1918-19. 2 Immediately after completing the Chaplin cartoons, (SLIDE 5) Otto Messmer created Felix the Cat who was, by 1925, the most popular animated character in America. Messmer, by his own admission, based Felix’s timing and distinctive pantomime acting on Chaplin’s. 3 But no other animators of the time followed Messmer’s lead. (SLIDE 6) Animator Shamus Culhane wrote that “Right through the transition from silent films to sound cartoons none of the producers of animation paid the slightest attention to… improvements in the quality of live action comedy. Trapped by the belief that animated cartoons should be a kind of moving comic strip, all the producers, (including Walt Disney) continued to turn out films that consisted of a loose story line that supported a group of slapstick gags which were often only vaguely related to the plot….The most astonishing thing is that Walt Disney took so long to decide to break the narrow confines of slapstick, because for several decades Chaplin, Lloyd and Keaton had demonstrated the superiority of good pantomime.” 4 1 Jeffrey Vance, CHAPLIN: GENIUS OF THE CINEMA, p.

  • Send in the Clones
    Send in the Clones Chaplin Imitators from Stage to Screen, from Circus to Cartoon Ulrich Ruedel The Chaplin craze of the teens is often cited as one of the main indicators of the unprecedented popularity of Chaplin's little tramp. Chaplin imitators, cartoons, songs were abound. While Chaplin may indeed qualify as the most imitated character in film history, this "sincerest form of flattery" was not limited to him. Indeed, one of the historically most remarkable Chaplin imitations, that of former Chaplin understudy Stan Laurel, was part of a Keystone Trio stage act, which also included likenesses of Mabel Normand and Chester Conklin. Nor does the phenomenon of comic clones end there. Throughout film history, we find carbon copies of then- popular film clowns, sometimes unidentified today, often though probably quite justly forgotten.1 1 The Museum of Modern Art, for example, holds footage of an unidentified Snub Pollard imitator; imitations of Harold Lloyd's glasses character have been reported, and Wolfram Tichy's 1979 Harold Lloyd bioography presents an unidentified photo of what might have been such an imitator. Europe had their own, unique comedy success in the 20s and 30s, in the Danish comedy tramp duo of Fy og Bi / Long and Short / Pat & Patachon, and this author's research into this team (easily rivaling in popularity Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd in countries like Germany and Russia) has so far confirmed at east four imitators, or "parodists," asppearing well into the 1950s. The Three Stooges are unique in this regard as their likenesses can claim a certain degree of legitimacy, either having gone through the same school as the original trio, Stooge inventor Ted Healy's act, that is, or in a couple instances even having the privilege of featuring former original Stooges.

Winkler Productions Directed and written by Walt Disney. Animated by Ub Iwerks, Rollin Ham Hamilton, Thurston Harper, Hugh Harman, & Rudolf Ising. Produced by Margaret J. Winkler With Margie Gay as Alice. Music and effects soundtrack added by Raytone Productions, 1930 Left to protect Alice’s house, Julius the cat soon falls into a vat of home-brew liquor in the basement and drinks himself into oblivion. The rats, free to play, entertain themselves by dancing, playing phonograph records, cavorting with the player piano, and using the bathtub for a swimming pool. Soon the party gets completely out of control. (Why Alice was brewing alcohol in her basement remains an open question.) “Speaking of his studio in later years, Disney was fond of saying that ‘it all started with a little mouse’ – but in fact the foundation was laid in 1924 by a little girl.” – Merritt & Kaufman, Walt in Wonderland Young Walt Disney broke into the movie business in Kansas City, as an illustrator for a company that produced glass slides and advertising shorts for theaters. Along with his buddy Fred Harman, he struck out on his own, hoping to jump-start their new company with a partly-animated comical short called Laugh-O-Grams, produced for the influential local theater owner, Frank L. Newman. This was successful enough that they were able to secure funding to hire additional animators, including now- legendary pioneers Ubbe “Ub” Iwerks, Hugh Harman, Rudolph Ising, and Friz Freleng.

  • Frame by Frame
    3 Pars Pro Toto Character Animation and the Work of the Anonymous Artist Everyone does his or her task on the conveyor belt, performing a partial function without grasping the totality. —Siegfried Kracauer1 The single frame is the basic unit of film just as bricks are the basic unit of brick houses. —Robert Breer2 DELIBERATE MISTAKES In late March 1937, in order to meet the booming demand for Popeye cartoons, the management at Fleischer Studios called for the production process to be sped up. In-betweeners, the animators tasked with drawing the stages of movement that come in between key poses, were expected to double their daily output, from twenty sketches per day to forty.3 But tensions between management and labor at the studio were running high, and the in-betweeners did not comply. Instead, they countered with a “slowdown” strike, which meant, effectively, continuing to produce drawings at the regular rate.4 In the month that followed, fifteen anima- tors were fired for participating in the slowdown, and on May 6 the Commercial Artists and Designers Union authorized a full walkout of the studio. The story of what happened next has already been told, as have the stories of other labor conflicts in the US animation industry—most notably, the 1941 strike at Walt Disney Studios.5 But I want to focus on what didn’t happen. By this I do not mean a counterfactual history, at least not in the traditional sense of the term. Rather, I wish to imagine what is left unsaid in these narratives, which tell us only what went on behind the scenes.

A A mainstay of Saturday morning children’s programming, small snippets of it appear regularly in commercials,TVCrit.com credit sequences, music videos, news and sports, but there have been long stretches when there were no prime-time cartoon shows. After The Flintstones ended its original run in 1966 there wasn’t another successful prime-time show until 23 years later, when The Simpsons debuted. Since 1989 there has been something of a Renaissance in television animation. Numerous prime-time cartoon pro- grams have appeared and at least three cable channels have arisen that fea- ture cartoons—the Cartoon Network, Nickleodeon, and Toon Disney. And, of course, cartoons continue to dominate the TV ghettos of Saturday morn- ing and weekday afternoons.

  • Funny Stuff: Silent Comedies and Cartoons
    Funny Stuff Silent Comedies and Cartoons Saturday, July 16, 2011 Grand Ilusion Cinema The Sprocket Society Seattle, WA About Two-Reeler Comedies In the 20 years before 1914, shorts were the show. And even decades after the feature film came along, shorts were a standard – and expected – part of every movie screening. At first movies were limited to the very short lengths of film that would fit in the camera, less than 1 or 2 minutes. Folks quickly figured out you could glue different shots together, and that you could then string those along to tell a longer story. But it would be some years before movies became more than a series of theatrically-staged tableaux and slice-of-life “actualities,” all filmed proscenium style. In the earliest days, exhibitors bought film prints outright and would craft programs from them. They’d often go on the road, touring their movie shows with accompanying lectures and music. There were even traveling tent shows. Soon the vaudeville houses also started showing shorts, which fit perfectly into their variety programming format. By 1905, the Nickelodeon era was in full swing in the US, made possible by moving to a rental distribution model instead of outright sales. Thousands of storefront screening rooms proliferated like mayflies all over the country, and in some cities they lined both sides of whole blocks. Your nickel got you about 30 minutes of mixed reels, with a new show usually every day. Folks would often go from one theater to another, right down the row. The profit was made in the high turnover, and audiences loved it.
