Eggs Don't Bounce marks the first time Marge's Little Lulu was animated

Just watched this Little Lulu cartoon on YouTube as linked to a site devoted to the Paramount cartoons. Based on the one-panel strips created by Marge, this was the first time her character was animated. There are some funny sight gags like when Lulu's dog jumped up in the air to catch some eggs or when that same dog does a Chaplin imitation. There's also a fantastic nightmarish sequence worth of Max Fleischer (no wonder since the director I. Sparber and many of the animators previously worked for him) though it's marred a bit by the stereotyped caricature of the black maid who also appears in the present day sequences. The fact that Lulu also disguises herself as that maid to scare the chicken also wasn't funny to me. Still, Eggs Don't Bounce is worth a look if you're curious about these old-school cartoons.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
