Synopsis

Series of animated vignettes linked by a disembodied hand which appears to be drawing the illustrations. In the first segment, the hand turns around a drawing of an old man and canine-hero Rin Tin Tin magically appears. In the second set of segments, drawings of children morph into adults who look completely unlike their youthful countenances. in the final segment, the hand slices up "The House That Jack Built" into the pictures of the most significant characters in the children's rhyme, and then reattaches the slips of paper to reform the house.

boblipton An excellent silent cartoon from the Fleischer Brothers' studio: weren't they all good? This one shows a hand drawing various images of children, who then grow up to be..... not the sort of adult you might expect until the shapes change, like an illustration in classic morphology and topology. After a while, however, it becomes repetitious.However, the whole things ends on a very strong note as the hand ceases to wield a pen and handles a knife, which cuts out the silhouette of the House That Jack Built..... then further cuts out all the characters in the rhyme, with no bits left over.Apparently two others in the Inklings series were produced, but this was the only one that seems to have survived.
