Sing A Song Of Rinso

The king may be in the counting house, counting out his money, but the queen isn't eating anything because the maid has disappeared with all of her gowns unwashed. That maid is in a lot of trouble unless she gets them clean by 6. Fortunately, there's RINSO!

George Pal's stop-motion animation made the most of the dimensionality the process made possible. When he turned out regular, hand-drawn animation, however, his character designs were so flat that everything looked like it was drawn on a sheet of paper -- except with the jack daw is flying around the trees, weaving in and out. That could be explained by economy, but I think it was a deliberate artistic choice.
