Tip-Tops in Peppyland, The
Tip-Tops in Peppyland, The is a short film from 1934 released on 16mm. It is held in the Prelinger Archives collection.
PART-ANIMATED, PART-LIVE ACTION FILM FOR CHILDREN SHOWING MILK PRODUCTION, CONTENTS & NUTRIENTS OF MILK, AND HOW MILK IMPARTS PEP, STRENGTH, ETC. GOOD SCENES OF CHILDREN IN EARLY 1930S.
"Pep," "Strength" and "Health" � the three Tip-Tops � show how drinking milk enables children to be active, acrobatic and successful in business. Unassuming and primitive compared to other Jam Handy pictures, Tip-Tops contains many fascinating images of what appear to be real children, 1930s-style, representing diverse social and economic backgrounds. An engaging animated sequence describes the vitamins and their function, using imagery that momentarily gets creepy.
Taken as a whole, the dairy industry is one of the most unsung and prolific propagandists of the twentieth century. Through the American Dairy Association, the National Dairy Council and many state and local organizations, the industry has successfully linked consumption of dairy products with health and fostered a friendly regulatory climate. A study of the many hundreds, perhaps thousands of dairy-produced films that survive would reveal recurring clich�s and a few unusually bizarre films like this one.| Tip-Tops in Peppyland, The | |
