The Cartoons
In 1927, with The jazz singer, the sound bursts into the films that were so far silent. The big studios then see new possibilities there, with the interaction between image and sound. We discovered in 1930 that Walt Disney embarked on this segment, with its Silly Symphonies Who are episodes of animated musical. On the side of Warner, we find the Merrie Melodies one year later.
During the Second World War, the cartoon is a form ofpropaganda widely used by the United States. Donald Duck play in Führer's face (Jack Kinney, 1943) where he parodies a citizen of Nazi Germany. American history is increasingly involved in the adventures of toons, giving him a political and committed sense.
Initially mute, the Toons are the worthy heirs of the burlesque which has as great figure Charlie Chaplin. The latter find themselves in spite of themselves in perilous situations, with limitless acrobatics and falls. In parallel on the comic side, they offer a lesson to the spectators at the end of the episode.
Another feature, they often operate in Duo of friends or enemies. With infinite duels and races, BIP BIP and Coyote, Tom and Jerry or Titi and Grosminet are among those unforgettable pairs of characters.
Félix Le Cat is then the most popular cartoons heroes before Mickey's birth, with a first appearance in 1919 In the silent short film Feline Follies. Created by Otto Messmer and Pat Sullivan, he acquired in 1920 a renown that competed with that of Charlie Chaplin in his character of Charlot at the same time
Almost ten years later, it’s Mickey Mouse’s turn to appear. Spectators discovered it on November 18, 1928 in Steamboat Willie, one of the first sound cartoons. The character is also famous for his false voice. It was Walt Disney himself who gave his original voice to the character of Mickey, from the first cartoon until 1946.
This iconic character of course has an important place in our hearts, he therefore receives many adaptations which are available at ARTOYZ ! Super 7 Then put it in the spotlight, with a super figurine taken from a creation of 1938.

The 1930s also saw the birth of the famous band of Looney Tunes which is a musical variation of Silly Symphonies Disney by Warner. As early as 1929, the series was created around the adventures of Buddy And he remained for two years as the main character of Warner.
Buddy was hardly just a white version of Bosko And the films were not very different. The latter is considered the precursor Looney Tunes.

Titi Le Canari was born in 1942 and was quickly joined by Sylvestre Le Cat, known as "Grosminet", in 1945. His favorite prey received his adaptation bearbrick, in a version faithful to the original!
In parallel, Droopy and Ralph the wolf and Sam The dog have their own adventures. In 1940, Tex Avery made Bugs Bunny a real star in A hunter knowing how to hunt, after his appearance in Porky and the smart rabbit (1938). He quickly became the representative of toons And the face of the Warner.
