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.
That’s really …
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.

By the way, last time I mismatched my grandfather-in-law’s first name withe my grandfather’s. His name was Ernst Kunstmann, not Paul.

Hi!
My wife’s grandfather Paul Kunstmann was a special effects camara with UFA at the time. His daughter Vera was his assistant. Both knew Fischerkoesen and highly appreciated his work.
I wonder if you could send me the file(s) of the movies. I would love to burn them on a cd and give it to Vera as a surprise.
Thanks anyway!

This video in fact …
This video in fact was made in the Hague in holland by fisherkosen and my nan johanna der kleyn all by hand sketching, it took about six months to create, 5 days a week and was paid good wages for it too, she also sketched the original snowman with him too. Oh one more thing, grow up anti german people ur all pathetic.
Let me try to bring …
Let me try to bring some clarification into this confusion about Jazz/Swing and Nazi Germany.
The musicians between 1933 and 1945, when jazz and Swing were oficially banned in Bermany, were inventive: one of the official ‘cover ups’ for this highly popular music was the label ‘Foxtrott’. Main difference to the originals: no clarinet and no saxophone. Those instruments were considered (no kidding!) un-aryan! Absurd, but a reality musicians at the time in Germany had to deal with.
Lyrics were by …
Lyrics were by Bruno Balz. He was later incarcerated by the nazis, because he was gay. Only the intervention of his buddy and composer of many highly successful song cooperations, Michael Jary (the most successful composer of popular music at the time), saved him from the ‘concentration’/death camps. Balz was the lyricist of other songs that occurred in Hans Fischerkoesen’s animations (e.g. ‘Die Beine von Dolores’, on YouTube under ‘Stocking Advert’).
Especially funny is …
Especially funny is the beginning of the lyrics: “Freier Tag, Feiertag…” A pun, which can translate either into:”day off, celebration day…” or “suitor day, celebration day…” Take your pick … Considering Bruno Balz’s ironic tone in most of his lyrics, and the observation that, together with the grammophone, a piece of a broken garter (with ‘clover leaf, so someone ‘got lucky’) was left behind, leaves little to no doubt to what was meant. take your pick! … Cheers, Julia

Remember … that …
Remember … that in 1942, all the effects done in this piece (and other works like it) were created optically and “inside” the camera. There were no computers then. This was a tedious process. But … as you can see … the result is fantastic!!!
Enjoy the animation and stop worrying about where it came from, or which era.
Thanks for posting this great work!!!!

Nazi regime wanted a different style of music other than jazz, and did not convey the appearance that American music was banned at the time. What a strange and amazing music.

Thank you for posting this very important piece of animation history. I loved this from the moment I first saw it at the Ottawa Festival many years ago.

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
