Movie Mad

Flip The Frog has a book about being an actor. That's his goal in this cartoon. The funniest part of the eight minutes is the opening, I thought, when Flip pictures himself as Charlie Chaplin. He does a good Chaplin imitation and it led me to believe the rest of this cartoon might be really a good one. It wasn't.

It was okay, but nothing "to write home about." Basically, it's a two-part story: Flip trying to get into the studio and then the things that to him once he's in.

There was a clever gag in the first part when he hides under a fat man's shadow. The parts inside the studio were tons of slapstick stuff that mainly didn't draw a lot of laughs, at least from me.
