This is the first in a series collecting the rare and oddball cartoons of the Van Beuren cartoon studio (1928-36). The studio got its start just as cartoons were making the transition from silents to sound. "A Close Call" (1929) is a fun if primitive example of the early Van Beuren style. The boy and girl mouse characters are clear copies of Mickey and Minnie Mouse.... and Walt Disney took legal action against Van Beuren in 1931 to put a halt to such trickery...
Van Beuren was kind of a low-budget Fleischer...both cartoon factories were located in New York City. "A Dizzy Day" (1933) is similar to a Fleischer cartoon, featuring a string of surreal gags without a real story...it was made after musical director Gene Rodemich joined the staff.
