looks a billion times better than anything computer animated.

To fully appreciate Fischerkoesen's daring, one must remember that the Nazis had forbidden Jazz and Swing as an Afro-Judaic plot to undermine traditional German culture. By the time Fischerkoesen was finally released, he had shown that he was not a Nazi, but also that he was no communist; thus, he was not allowed to work privately on his own films, but only as a functionary on assignments in the state-controlled DEFA studios.

Da steckt noch Liebe im Detail. Wunderschön heute leider nicht mehr im Repertoire.

A masterpiece! Delightfully! This is the kind of animation and music I really love. Thank you! Thank you for sending, my dear Daniel!

Breathtakingly fresh! Greetings from Berlin!

Amazing Multiplane camera work . Thank you for posting this rarity.

This is beautiful, and if I didn't know better I would have said it was done with computers. I wish I knew what they did to create that amazing effect! Especially when the camera goes around the flowers in a big circle, and when the camera rotates underneath the flowers. Thank you for uploading.

Fischerkoesen was the Walt Disney of Germany

This cartoon was ahead of its time!

this piece has such a warming effect. it came up in a media studies seminar and we discussed nazi germany's intentions when allowing it to show. surely the government didn't mind the happy-go-lucky, blissful attitude of the piece (it upkept a free, happy, facade for german culture). but when it comes to the things that would be considered risque, we thought maybe it was a way to provide audiences an illusion of freedom and lax government.

This is one of the best animations I have seen IN MY LIFE. Thanks for posting this gem. I mean, how did they do this without the aid of computers??" MY GOD! It's perfect! Thanks! Danke! ¡¡Muchas, muchas gracias!!

It is quite an amazing cartoon but I still find it a bit scary when I think about the circumstances of people of Europe at that time. This cartoon was also shown in a German TV show named "Hitlers Hitparade" (= Hitlers charts). This song (translated "If the week wouldn't have a sunday") was played while you could see this cartoon and scenes from Jewish workers in German factories once and a while.

if you can’t watch until the very end . . . Then do not complain about the attention span of TikTok fans .this is a real Gem 💎 . .

Brilliant! So beautiful!

It looks great for being made in 1942.

@videorocker2001 There's also a great recording of this song (Wenn die Woche keinen Sonntag hätt) on KZread by the Karel Vlach Orchestra and the Allanovy Sestry (Allan Terzett), the 'Czech Boswell Sisters / Andrews Sisters', made in Prague in August 1944 (!) Very swingy!

How could something so beautiful come from a country of terrible circumstances at the time?

a qualidade do vídeo é ótima levando em consideração os poucos recursos que eles tinham!

Love the use of the multiplane camera effect moving through the grass and the 350-degree shot around the abandoned record player, even if this short did come from Nazi Germany.

holy crap! this looks like it was aided by computer animation! amazing!

@dawgsupreme79 Thanks for your answer! I will also try to find out more about Fischerkoesen's studio on Lange Voorhout. Fascinating, to learn that this great film was made in the city where I live!

Amazing. Thanks for your comment, the original colors must have been beautiful.

The animation in this is too good. Some of it looks like it was rotoscoped over cgi or something. I've never seen traditional animation of this caliber. Not even Ghibli has animation this smooth and on model.

Certainly a slower paced aesthetic than anyting in the US at the time. It looks like the phonograph was a real object on a turntable painted to look "toon" rather like the similar technique the Fleischers would sometimes use in their cartoons in the '30's

that's fascinating.

The first ever 3d animation

But how?

Wow!!! anyone know where i can get the music

Nice to see a female bee (scientific accuracy) and I love the design of that fly later on. The poor bee seems a little pressured to keep entertaining everyone, though! It's such a beautiful animation overall.

@Ronald070 Hi sorry for late reply! my nan says the street was langevoorhout! the studio was actually called fischerkoesen, I can try to find out more if need be.

Technical tour de force and an ingenious premise. I don't know how they could have done all the drawing, though (hopefully not by slave labor).

People are used to seeing creations made by computers and not have the ability to see and admire all the work and creativity made ​​without computer. They just think: "That's cute". See the enter scene: the camera down, depth, and entering among the flowers, animated separately ...

That's really interesting! I live in The Hague. Do you know which studio was used? In The Hague, you had the Profilti Studio's and Filmstad (founded by Loet Barnstijn). A lot of German films were made in Filmstad during the war.

Thank you for sharing!

Grandioser Zeichentrickfilm!! 5Sterne

@dawgsupreme79 Thank you for this info ... Fischerkoesen was my grand-father. Was his sister Leni with him there also?

Fischerkoesen created a daring piece of art in Nazi-Germany of 1943. Please read the analysis in "The case of Hans Fischerkoesen". You can find it easily on the Internet.

Would someone please translate the song and post the lyrics?

Hi! does anyone knows which songs is singed in the animation movie?

The main song used is called "Wenn Die Woche Keinen Sonntag Hätt", I'm not sure what the other songs are though. I think the Wenn Die Woche Keinen Sonntag Hätt song was just extended with intrumental, which is why the melody keeps appearing throughout the animation.

Wonderful! Beautiful and funny animation and nice music! Quite jazzy for nazi Germany 1942. I collect both German films and dancemusic from those days. Would love to have it on DVD. Can you advise me?

What a wonderful video! A beutiful story with amazing animation. I was surprised by the effect of dimension and rotation. We can see all care to draw elements frame by frame. It is unfortunate that the media and others to spread the idea of Nazi content. Another "hate dumb". As one reviewer here: It's just an animation to enjoy. Thanks for sharing. Hugs from Brasil

so awesome! thanks for sharing. i was looking to see this in full length for a long time. b.t.w. goebbels was a very strong admirer of disney. it's said that the furers elite met more than once to enjoy what was forbidden for the regular folk.

dem visuals

cool cartoon^^

@AnnaNiemas sorry my nan doesnt remember working next to a brother and sister type relationship although she has managed to remember taking some or having some pictures of co-workers packed away!!

matrose61...did you ever get copies? I don't know how to send the file, but I've burned this to a DVD if you want a copy.

Charlie and His Orchestra. i cant find out the exact name of the track. can anyone help me? ive listened to about 20 tracks so far with no luck.

To download KZread videos: Use your favorite internet search engine to locate a program called "DVD VideoSoft." This is a free program that will allow you to download from KZread. Then you can get software that will convert the files to DVD. I use one called "ConvertXtoDVD."

how did you do that? i love this film and would love to copy it. dennis

Name of song??? :))

The industry isn't cutting money as much as it seems. Most CGI movies nowadays cost more money than cel animated movies ever did. Example: Snow White cost 1.7 million in 1937. That's 25 million in todays money. One of the cheapest movies these days, Ice Age, would cost 70 million dollar if made today. A big Disney movie like Ratatouille costs 150 million. So where are the cornes being cut?:) Even expensive movies like Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty only cost around 40 million.

Can we just show this to the "Adventure Time"s animators?

@AnnaNiemas My nan said they never worked side by side but all of my nans work was transferred by train. Sorry for late reply, my nan still has some cellophanes from schneeman and scherzo packed away..

agreed

@dawgsupreme79 Hi there! I just found an advertisement in a newspaper from 1943, where they are looking for young female painters to work for 'Fischerkösen Film Productie' Lange Voorhout 50 (accuracy required!) Nowadays, it houses the Spanish Embassy. I can mail you the page as PDF if you like.

? but it was made in Germany in 1942? it's an interesting historical fact about the film, i think.

8:43 those guys look like they were stonded hahaha :D

He was named the Walt Disney of Germany, since he was quietly similar with Walt and George Paul (he even made stop motion)

Technically superior to Disney cartoons

This film is anti-Nazi in that it shows a sensuousness that is for the fun and joy of it, not for furthering the master race; and it also shows a less-than-full-hearted work ethic. Play, it urges, don't work for the cause, for the state -- not exactly what the Third Reich authorities wanted put across during the war.

@MissAmericanDream87 nope made for germany! read my posts!!!

Disney and Hitler pals ? Oh really ? I guess they must have had a split after Walt Disney produced "Der Fuehrer's Face" and "Education For Death" (both on KZread; have a look) .

The music in this is standard-issue German Swing of the wartime era (until '43, anyway), and not really so daring at the time.

or... 3D looks like this lol

In Germany right! Not in NAZI Germany! That sounds horrible 0.0
