Cab Calloway St. James Infirmary by Fleischer
Another absolute master piece. This time an actual JAZZ STAR has been added as an ingredient to give to us the viewers an amazing show to watch. I love the animation method called rotoscoping that lets a person trace a already shot video source of something performing an action and draw on top of it, leading to a very realistic looking animated movement for the output. Rotoscoping was used here in order to give Fleisher Brother's Koko the Clown ghost morph character his unique realistic dance moves. And the voice actor for the character is non other than the great Cab Calloway (singing St. James Infirmary). He just managed to embed the spirit of the 30's in that song so well that once you hear it it does not matter if you like a different style of music, you just can not say NO to that sweet sounding blues.
