ItвЂ™s a valid style of animation that focuses on simple shapes and rhythmic movement, rather that realism and complexity. Rubber hose animation doesnвЂ™t deserve its reputation of being primitive and old fashioned. The Walter Lantz Studio finally found its legs when they started producing color cartoons, and the introduction of Andy Panda and Woody Woodpecker eclipsed Oswald, relegating him to the role of a side character. Oswald was getting a little too tired to be the cartoon star of the studio, so they set to work developing new characters, like Pooch the Pup, a monkey trio named Meanie Miney and Moe, Baby Faced Mouse and LiвЂ™l Eight Ball but none of them caught on. Once Nolan was gone, the Lantz cartoons struggled to find their own style for a while. The focus has shifted from funny drawings and movement to elaborate backgrounds and fairy tale themes. The difference between this cartoon and In Alaska is stark. The Candy House is a transitional cartoon at the end of NolanвЂ™s tenure at the studio. Lantz negotiated ownership of the characters, including Oswald and proceeded to shift the personality of the character to a blander disposition, more resembling Mickey Mouse. Lantz and Nolan parted company in 1935 and Walter Lantz Productions was established to supply cartoons independently to Universal as a distributor. Lantz and Nolan were partners at first, but Lantz had aspirations to become an independent producer with his own studio. Even the incidental characters are amazing to look at. As you still frame through this cartoon, check out the funny drawings. His animation is loose, rubbery and sometimes surreal but most of all, it is laugh-out-loud hilarious. One of the earliest Oswald cartoons at Universal, In Alaska, shows how much further he took the character than Iwerks ever had. Nolan was a master of rubber hose animation. Lantz chose Bill Nolan to supervise the series, and Nolan found himself directing the character Ub Iwerks created. And as fate would have it, Carl Laemmle pulled the rug out from under Winkler and Mintz putting Lantz in charge of the Universal Cartoon Studio.

Margaret Winkler and Charles Mintz pulled the rug out from under Walt Disney, signing a distribution deal with Universal for a new series of Oswald cartoons, and hiring Walter Lantz to replace Disney. A friendly transcontinental rivalry developed. Likewise, Nolan made a point of seeing IwerksвЂ™ Oswald and Alice in Cartoonland cartoons. Iwerks was aware of NolanвЂ™s work would go to the theater to see the latest Felix and Krazy Kat films when they were released. Both animators were instrumental in refining the technique of rubber hose animation, even though they had never met. In New York Bill Nolan was performing the same duties on the Krazy Kat and Felix the Cat cartoons. At the Disney Studio, Ub Iwerks was the animator supervising the Oswald Cartoons. Most cartoon fans are aware of DisneyвЂ™s Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, but not many are familiar with Walter LantzвЂ™s version of the character.
