Rubber Hose Cartoon

A 1930s black-and-white hand-inked cartoon, shown as a worn film print in a rounded 4:3 gate with weave, flicker, scratches and dust. Everyday objects come alive, the whole object as the body, with noodle limbs, white gloves, pie-cut eyes and big round shoes, and everything on the soft grey watercolour set breathes on the beat. Titles hop letter by letter; on-screen words sit on period title cards.

What to provide

Say what the film is about and the one line to remember (a slogan, a rule, a number). You can name the objects that star (a cup, an alarm clock, a book, a tap) and the place (a kitchen, a desk, a washroom). Only the title and short title cards appear on screen; the voice-over carries the rest. Landscape only, black and white. Good for everyday tips, slogans, small brand stories and greetings.

Scrub for twenty seconds

A bar of soap scrubs to the beat beside a living tap while a singalong card spells the rule and a bouncing ball hops from word to word; then the whole washroom dances.
