Abandoned Cat Little Tora, 1947. A family finds an abandoned kitten and takes it in.  But one of the children is jealous of the attention shown to the newcomer and runs away.  In 1947 war orphans were everywhere in Japan. Directed by Kenzo Masaoka.   https://youtu.be/d_nN0_DZPHw       A dream of domestic bliss.   https://youtu.be/-6toCCKMBqo   This ends with the family all together as one on a Christmas, decorated tree and everything.   https://youtu.be/cF4qS1iQ-Gs       What is conspicuous is the lack of a father.  I guess at this time so many Japanese families had their fathers and sons gone that this cartoon designed to comfort and to empathize with those bereft.  In that regard this is a very sad movie, very well made. Life is far too marvelous to be squandered in war. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/

Indeed. Air start of a seaplane race, in the 1930s on Spontoon Island. Colour for this image by Taral Wayne.  November 1932 - Spontoon Island Lagoon. The Pumpkin Pie Season begins! Early in the morning of 1 November, the first pies are distributed to visitors and guests by neighborhood volunteer servers. The servers here are performing one of the first-morning pie-walk server dances. (Not all the pie-sharing is this lively. Other traditional parts of a Spontoonie breakfast may be served by the servers.) Free pies from the local co-op bakers are distributed to early morning parties at the neighborhood picnic areas and gathering-booths. More free pies (or pie-slices) are delivered for breakfasts via co-op trucks (and some delivery boats) to distribution locations. With advance notice, free pumpkin pies will be delivered in time for breakfast to apartment buildings, hotels, & resorts, for interested visitors and tourists.   Pies are also delivered from new batches, baked t
