The Story of George Washington provides a unique kid's view from his drawings

[tavm · 9/10 · 30 November 2008]

This is a unique cartoon in the Paramount archives in that most of it is an animated version of a child's drawings (or at least what they'd look like according to adult writer/director Jack Mendelsohn). It's also narrated by a child who mixes words like saying how George Washington was "the most famous dead American living" or how "Honesty is the best Polly Seed". LOL! Or how about when the boy says that George "mustard" his troops with a visual of him spreading that sauce on his first soldier before the next one shows his hot dog or when Paul Revere asks for some minutemen with a couple of them saying, "Just a minute!" This animated short was part of a brief series called "Jacky's Whacky World". I found this on the Daily Motion site. The Story of George Washington is well worth seeking out.
