This is the oldest animation in the history of Egyptian Cinema. Historically the art of animation began in Egypt in 1935 by the Brothers Frankel, who managed despite the limited technical capabilities to produce many mini films and made the first Cartoon Egyptian Character Mishmesh Effendi
They carried out many cinematic tricks, which were very advanced then, like the integration movement of living with free animation. "I copy this from the Facebook group"
I found this animation through my dear Friend Sherif Naguib who closed his blog unfortunately , but thank God for the Facebook , Sherif found it by his turn in a group called Animation department , the video is owned by Tohamy Mohamed Tohamy.
Please enjoy it :)
MOST REGRETTABLY i never saw this 1st Egyptian cartoon made by brothers FRENKEL circa 1935? But seen the drawings of The dancing girl + Mishmish Effendi which reminded me of AL MASSRI Effendi /created by Armenian immortal cartoonist Great SAROUKHAN.around that period??...and if my intuition is correct, Mr.TOHAMY MOHAMED TOHAMY must be the Respectful SON of well known & loved cartoonist that used to do the covers of My beloved SAMIR & Arabic Mickey COVERS circa 1960/70 s?! R I G H T ??Mr.MOHAMED TOHAMY or as HE signed only as >> AL TOHAMY <<...HIS FANTASTIC paint-brush tickled our imagination,and world of make believe/Especially when HE converted that Western World^s most renowned Little Cute MOUSE called M I C K E Y and converted IT to an Arab-Egyptian Mouse, dressing it in Arabic FOLKLORIC gears..celebrating EID el FITR/AL ADHA/AL MOUWLED or even as AL KHA-FEER(Egyptian villages^ guards)..in a very Clever & shrewd twist with HIS AMAZING COLOURS & BRUSH STROKES..and INTEGRATED that infamous character...TOO EASILY...which made the Arabic edition of MICKEY MOUSE grabbed & snatched off the Newsagents^ shelves after minutes of its display??...by male /female children alike + their PARENTS too??! Because they also grew up reading Mickey in its original language>>English...or translated into >>French/now, they can read it in their Mother tongue>>/THE A R A B I C/ also to their toddlers ?? As i most humbly show my gratitude to all those WHOM with their Patience + Hearts of GOLD worked for SINDIBAD->S A M I R->Arab/MICKEY-> KARA-OUAN..even in 1965 when GREAT TWIN Brothers ALI WA MOSTAPHA AMIN published (SHE) or HI-YA weekly,they never forgot the little people>>US,the young ones of the 1960s<book in colourful 32 pages Unforgettable kind gesture towards KIDS+TEENS!..we were heart broken when things gone wrong for the TWINS in those days & and the whole thing was LIKE a sweet dream.. that was over? & Those suppl. became..rare and as Collectors^ item??
