Take cover, that dare-devil pilot Murphy's going to dive-bomb beauties sunbathing on the beach. Shrieks of terror. The trouble is Murphy is bored, bored to distraction. No city or farm is safe from his antics. And it was all predictable from early childbirth. Why, as a boy Murphy dangled from chandeliers holding cats, chased girls round the playground. He'll come to a sticky end in the US Navy. The great John Hubley's little known short from 1946 is still funny and apposite today. I've got one such terror in the house this very second. But I digress. Made to demonstrate the perils of flying for kicks, Flat Hatting is a great find. As I have remarked before, animations never age if they are well made and this one is. What is it? 66 years old and wonderful to behold. Confident, surprisingly modern artwork and animation, easy humour, some terrific aerial shots of the countryside and cities. And that feature of the times, a tendency to moralise, albeit tongue in cheek and commissioned by the military. Great work from the master, Hubley. Just one problem - I think I'd be more like Murphy having seen what one can get up to in an aeroplane.

Seems like a nice funny and an entertaining animation..
I wanted to thank you for your time due to this wonderful read!! I definitely appreciated every bit of it and I have you book-marked to look at new information in your web site.
If you will compare the kind of animation we have today as from before, you can really see a big difference and changes. This is because of the development in today's technology, like the way we do measurement system.
its really impressed to any one in the world!!!!
