BOBBY BUMPS STARTS A LODGE(1916)

剧情简介

Probably the most popular of the several mischievous boy heroes in early animation was "Bobby Bumps," whose series (1915-23) was inspired by R. F. Outcault's comic strip "Buster Brown." Its creator, Earl Hurd, owned a 1914 patent for the use of celluloid and his employment by J.R. Bray (at whose studio this film was made) consolidated a near monopoly on streamlined animation technology. Racial stereotypes, from J. Stuart Blackton's "Cohen" and "Coon" caricatures in Lightning Sketches (1907) onward, are depressingly endemic to early animated films. In Bobby Bumps Starts a Lodge, there is, at least, a certain equality in the resolution.
