Happy Harmonies "Bottles" episode is a true classic
Children growing up in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s probably never thought about the origin of the cartoons they enjoyed or how long they had been around. I caught an episode of TOM and JERRY recently on MeTV Saturday morning cartoons. One animated short that came on brought back fond memories for me, It was a Happy Harmony short titled BOTTLES and I was stunned to find out it was created in 1936. It's hard to believe that 2021 year marks 85 years of this classic short.

The Wizard of Oz saga of Dorothy's ruby red slippers
1939 was a very good year It all began with the 1939 film adaptation of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". In the book, Dorothy's shoes were silver, but in the movie, the color was changed to red. This was done in order to take advantage of Technicolor which at that time was pretty new. The opening and the ending of the film were in sepia tones which is why it appeared as a brown tint rather than black and white.
