Another Vince Cafarelli Miscellany
- I continue to weave through the boxes that make up the collection of animation art assembled by Vincent Cafarelli. This week I have anothe rmix of artwork; these pieces were all xerox copies (sometimes copies of copies.) I’ve tried to make them all presentable having to photoshop out some of the schmutz that came with old copiers. Since these are all models and pieces from the 30′s, I thought it worth the trouble.
Let’s start with the mix of models:
1Gandy Goose a Terrytoon character. Not the best quality copy.
2
Cubby Bear, an early Van Buren character
3
Parrotville, another Van Buren product from their last years
4
Another Parrotville model sheet
5
I have no idea where this character was created,
though I’d bet on Van Buren.
6
A Fleischer character to play off Pudgy
7
Another kind of Fleischer dog.
8
A Fleischer chicken
9
A typically racist character from Fleischer’s ethnic types.
Here’s a copy of the program from the Paramount theater in New York on their premiere of Gulliver’s Travels.
First the outside pages (folded in the center)
Then the inside pages.
To add to the post, I thought I’d throw a random group of photos taken over the years with Vince and Candy at Perpetual Motion/Perpetual Animation or Buzzco.

Is that Frank Mouris of “Frank Film”?

Yes, that Frank Mouris.

Fantastic post! The Gandy Goose model brought a tear to my eye. That design was probably considered inept in the day by animation’s elite. Now it’d simply be too well-drawn and “cartoony”!

My thoughts, exactly, Thad. Gandy Goose was my reason for posting these. I love that character. Actually, I even love the old Sourpuss.
