She'll awaken when she falls! Or so says libertarian watchman J. Wellington Wimpy in this Popeye classic. Like Warner Bros and Disney, Fleischer Studios built a lot of its early sound cartoons around the promotion music popularized by new-fangled audio recordings and radio. Case in point, "A Dream Walking" (1934), directed by Dave Fleischer and animated by Seymour Kneitel and Roland Crandall. I love watching Olive's nose slowly work out of the bottom of the frame in the early scene -- and listen to the plucked violin as she steps onto the telephone line! Leonard Maltin once praised the rich blues of this film as proof of what the studios were doing early-on with color, apparently not realizing that it was colorized years after its original release in luscious monochrome. Which demonstrates what a tool Maltin was and is.
