Cartoons ~ Color ~ 1935

Directors: Burt Gillett, Tom Palmer

Molly Moo-Cow is an odd character on which to base your cartoon. She's not cartoony enough looking or anthropomorphic like Clarabelle Cow from Disney. Instead, she is stuck on four legs and is orange. Why is she orange? Because at this point, only Disney Studios had access to true color--Three-Strip Technicolor. They'd signed an exclusive contract and other cartoon studios wishing to make color films were forced to use more antiquated film stock--such as Cinecolor or Two-Color Technicolor-- both of which tended to make everything look orangish.
