Good Wrinkles (1951)

★★★★ · This was cute! · Tridentine · 2024-05-23

This was a cute cartoon. Perhaps prunes are one of the least enjoyed fruit by younger people. This video gives some good ideas on how to cook and bake with this fruit. I loved prunes since I was a girl starting in 1969 when an older neighbor cooked them. To me they were just a sweet fruit. Even back in 1969 they were known as a fruit that “old people” ate, which I thought was ridiculous. Of course when a prune cake was mentioned in the video I thought of a person in the old folks home.😂 There is some good information in the video on the health of eating prunes.

★★★ · Interesting look at what might have been. · Filefanatic · 2021-12-27

This Harman and Ising short is very interesting to see what their animation might have been had they stayed on with Warner up until 1950. I think even though Warner was really hurting bad for characters and content for about a year when they left in 1933, letting them go was a wise decision. Without them gone we might not have ever got the work we did from Tex Avery and others. This cartoon is very lack luster and a sad end for such amazing talent. Their Bosko cartoons at Warner, though clearly attempts to cash in on the popularity of Mickey Mouse, were still highly creative and improved more…

★★★ · Late Harman-Ising Production... · Bunko · 2003-12-11

Hugh Harman and Rudy Ising, founders of the original Warner Brothers and MGM animation units (in 1930 and 1934 respectively) and creators of Bosko, were out of the theatrical animation game by 1940. In 1941, Hugh Harman founded his own studio to produce commercial, health, safety, and training films, a couple of which are archived here ("Johnny Learns His Manners" and "The March of Progress"). A minor Harman Productions classic, "Winky the Watchman", unfortunately isn't. The Harman-Ising partnership had clearly resumed by 1951. "Good Wrinkles" even features the H-I logo that opened their…

★★★ · Nicely animated · unzar · 2021-03-07

Enjoyed watching this, although I have to admit, I never would have guessed that thing was a prune until they told me. For a while there, I thought it was a slug.

Very similar to 'A Fortune in 2 old trunks', using even the tag line 'All prunes are plums, however not all plums are prunes' (this is not too easy too forget), this is however, obviously geared to the younger gulliable folk who think Prunes are just swell. I did like the little Mr Wrinkles story about him becoming famous and all that, but I'm still not too sure about that pie.
