Grim Natwick is an animator who worked for the Fleischer Studio and is best known for being the artist who drew Betty Boop. One of the main reasons why I am focusing on him today is because of the above video, Fleischer's 1930 Talkartoon DIZZY DISHES. Dizzy Dishes is interesting because of two shots within the animation, the Waiter Dance.
The Waiter Dance is interesting as it is animated by two people, the first time we see the waiter dance it is animated by someone who is not Grim Natwick, however the second time it is infact animated by Grim Natwick.
Not by Grim Natwick:

There is a distinct difference in the animation quality between these two shots, as Natwick used his imagination and mixed fun with animation. This was way before the principles of animations were introduced so alot of animators were still in the dark in the 1930s in regards to animation, so this is a fantastic example of true rubber hose animation, without the influence of other animations.
