I don't know of any cartoons but I did see an old episode of Colombo where they had bellydancers and they were pro. I don't remember their names but they were really good. And why they didn't hire pros in many other movies goes to show that back then they just most likely thought it was shake something and slink something else, then call it bellydance.
Nope but we are really prone to drifting off the exact subject on OD just because one thing reminds us of another.
I seem to recall a cartoon (maybe Disney?) that included a belly dancing hippo. :think:
I'm not familiar with Carnival Capers so I don't think so. I was thinking Fantasia but surely that was ballerina hippos.:think:
No, they aren't belly dancers. I went on YouTube and checked- ballerina hippos for sure. Darn. I have this picture in my head of a sweet girl hippo with a pink face veil...
Just trying to remember where I saw the belly dancing hippo. It may have been in a cartoon from the thirties or forties.
Fifteen years ago, I bought my children a set of five dvds with cartoons from the thirties through fifties: Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Betty Boop, etc. I think maybe the hippo was in one of those. My grandson watches them now.
