Some of my favorite types of animated cartoons from the 1930's and 1940's are cartoons that are in the Art-Deco and Streamlined style
I think it would be fun to brainstorm a list to see wha I should track down:
Note Cartoons with * next to them are awsome.
Here are some that I have, know of, or have seen
*1936 Page Miss Glory, Warner Bros.
1937 Modern Inventions, Disney (RKO Radio)
1937 Porky's Romance, Warner Bros.
*1938 All's Fair at the Fair, Paramount
1943 Yankee Doodle Daffy
Other cartoons which are minor in the style but still qualify
1933 Stratos Fear, MGM
1935 Dancing on the Moon
1942 Bowling Alley Cat, 1942
Anyone Else no of any others? :)

1937 Porky's Roman, Warner Bros.
What's PORKY'S ROMAN? Is that a lost WB cartoon?:D ;)
Others I can think of are
The Country Cousin (Disney)
Learn Polikeness (Fleischer)

Most of Tashlin's WB cartoons from 1936-38 with urban settings, the early Chuck Jones works, and Jones' earliest layout works for Clampett on his first Looney Tunes have a heavy art deco/streamline look. (And of course we'll get the Strealine Train on the upcoming LTGC 4 collection with Tashlin's "Porky's Railroad".)

Also the Betty Boops were like that sometimes as well. I like the colorized ones myself, the backgrounds have that style that makes it look more artistic.

LOL:p, I will have to change that. I meant Porkys' Romance. Thats what happens when you stay up to late and start a thread when your half asleep. Lesson Learned:rolleyes:
Anyways, Thank You Cartman for bringing the Country Cousin to my attention. I own that cartoon and I have not yet watched it:eek: I am going to have to check that one out.

Wholly Smoke has some art deco in it as well as Willie Whopper's "Hell's Fire" where Dr Jeckel is walking and he becomes Mr Hyde.

Another candidate for the art deco classification would be the Hoppin-Gross Jois de Vivre short from 1934.

For deco in a series, Fleischer's Superman toons from the 1940s-my faves in their entire body of work. For today, Batman: The Animated Series.
