HOME MOVIES FOR DECEMBER
PACE 403
A.NIMATED cartoons are riding the crest of the wave of popularity in home movie screen entertainment. Doubtless the reason is that animated cartoons appeal to all ages and classes of people; they have a universal appeal particularly at this time when the world yearns for laughter and gaiety — a palliative, perhaps, for the realities of war.
With home projectors seeing more use than ever before, providing amusement for ration-plagued stay-at-homes or entertainment for isolated servicemen, gay laugh-provoking cartoons fill an important place in every screen program. There is novelty, too, in the fact that most of these films feature popular animated cartoon characters seen regularly on theatre screens. Being actual reduction prints of standard professional films, they assume even greater importance with those home movie exhibitors who are steadily building a personal library of good film subjects that will afford pleasurable home entertainment for years to come.
Animated cartoons have a definite place in every home movie program. The movie maker with a limited library of personally filmed movies can vary his screen fare by including reels of professionally produced movies in his home screen exhibitions. Exhibitors of business and publicity films invariably augment their programs with at least one animated cartoon. And screening of ccrtoon films as a phase of their entertainment programs is, today, a general practice with many schools. Thus we have solid evidence of the increasing popularity of the animated cartoon in the substandard film field, pointing toward even greater demand for such films in the future.
