STRANGE TOONS: NOAH'S ARK

Here's an odd little charmer from the Disney vaults. In 1959, the studio experimented with stop-motion animation for this unconventional, jazzy take on the Noah's Ark story. The characters and props are made from everyday objects, with no attempt made to disguise them as anything else. (The moose antlers, for instance, are clearly sporks!)

I think it runs a bit long, frankly, but it's a fascinating piece of obscure Disney history and it's so weird I had to share it. The first part of the clip is below, and the next part pops up as a clickable option when this part's done.
