In the esoteric world of animation, nothing is quite as tantalizing as the elusive 'Cutsy Button' short film of the 1930s. Created by the famous Fleischer Studios, this experimental short sadly never saw the light of day post-production—rumored because of its revolutionary yet controversial animation techniques. A select few claim to have witnessed screen tests but what remains is second-hand anecdotes and a few scattered storyboards. If uncovered, it offers invaluable insight into early animation history. I'm continuing my research and will update with any new findings.

Has anyone ever tried contacting relatives of the original Fleischer Studios staff? There's gotta be someone's attic out there with a reel of this film just waiting to be rediscovered. I can't wait for your update. This could be the find of the century!

Fleischer Studios never disappoints with their daring and creativity, 'Cutsy Button' being their biggest enigma. It's a real tragedy that it never got released. I read somewhere that a personal diary of one of the animators mentioned the film. Have you come across it in your research? This could be the link we've needed!

This is it folks, the big cover-up. Just like the lost cosmonauts, 'Cutsy Button' probably got scrubbed because it showed something it shouldn't have. We're talking about revolutionary techniques that could've changed everything! Maybe they stumbled on something that the industry couldn't handle? Keep us updated OP, I've got my tin-foil hat on and I'm ready for a deep dive.

The lost 'Cutsy Button'! Heard about it in animation school. Would be insane to see how it influenced or maybe even forewarned the modern animation era we're in now. Techniques from the 1930s might be what animators today need to see to shake things up again. Fleischer Studios were pioneers, from rotoscoping to surreal storytelling, it's a crime this piece is missing!

Wow, 'Cutsy Button' is like the holy grail for us animation history buffs. Just imagine the techniques Fleischer was playing with that might've been too edgy back then. Bet it would be considered pretty tame by today's standards, but it's the historical context that makes it so fascinating! Anyone dug through the Library of Congress records? They might have something in the copyright entries, forgotten and gathering dust.
