See How They Won

See How They Won (1935, 6:01) is a terrific Ub Iwerks cartoon that displays his trademark bats, elaborately drawn backgrounds and penchant for rhyming voiceovers. This one has one John Careless (a cousin of the early Elmer Fudd?) not looking after his health and therefore falling prone to the illnesses of Captains Influenza and Sorethroat. The animation is full and fluid, possibly the best looking of the titles here, which should come as no surprise given Iwerks’ reputation. Rumor persists that it was originally created in color, and the strong artwork certainly supports that notion, with some fantastic effects animation and an epic battle between the Germs and the Health Service to close the picture out. Created for Boots Chemists, the only thing that mars this print is a lack of main titles or original end credits, though that doesn’t take anything away from Iwerks’ amazing work.
