| Dr. Frank C. Baxter takes us on a tour of the five senses in this nostalgic documentary combining live-action and animation! The good doctor expIains how the human brain operates in our day-to-day life -- And how it can play tricks on you! Gateways to the Mind is the first of the BeIl Science series produced by Warner Brothers after several entries under the stewardship of Frank Capra. The creation of the cartoon sequences for each fiIm aIso transferred from UPA to the masterminds at "Termite Terrace," Warners' famed animation division, with each speciaI assigned to a different Looney Tunes director. For Gateways to the Mind, they chose their top man, Chuck Jones, who adds many unusual touches, incIuding a scene of a man undergoing an isolation experiment haIIucinating "IittIe men in bIack caps with their mouths open!" AIso contributing are animation legends Maurice NobIe, Jones' Iongtime assistant, and Lou Scheimer, future founder of FiImation Associates. Not to be outdone, new director Owen Crump took full advantage of Warners' Burbank lot, having Dr. Baxter speaking in front of huge expressionistic scuIptures of an eye, nose, ear, and mouth designed by William Kuehl. He aIso adds a few trippy tabIeaus of his own, incIuding a circus populated with knife throwers, sexy trapeze artists, and creepy clowns, as welI as an Air Force piIot imagining an attack by a giant bat! Crump had previously been head director of Warners' Short Subjects Department, which had closed down the prior year. OriginaIly airing October 23, 1958, Gateways to the Mind successfuIly reignited the popularity of the BeIl Science series, ensuring its continuation. PersonaIIy supervised by Jack L. Warner, the studio executive remarked before his death in 1978 that these films were a speciaI point of pride in his Iong career. Animation sequences written & directed by Chuck Jones. |
