It was Iwerks who figured out how to sync sound for cartoons when he worked for Disney and it became the strong point for his studio’s work after he broke away.

I don’t recall getting Flip the Frog on any of the 7 TV channels we received when I was a kid, but I sure like him now. Everything he does & everything that happens has a distinct rhythm & always beats to the music. Very pleasing.
But this episode brings to mind some questions.
Like, how long do you have to be cooped up in a ramshackle house with your skeleton collection under glass of visitors past, before you start wearing a top hat & swimming flippers, (and nothing else), on a regular basis?
And how long is too long to keep the dog around after it dies? Do the ears & tongue have to disappear completely?
And what do ya do when ya gotta make your getaway in the mud after a storm?
You get horse that wears Danish clogs, that’s whatcha doo, if I’m not mistakin’.

This one’s fantastic, a real gem. The surprise ending really kicks things up, and you wonder what else might be in store for Flip after the cartoon is over. Maybe he’s haunted for life, the poor kid.
