61 years before "Toy Story"

Toys live a secret life away from a child's view.
You might think "Toy Story,", but lately I have been watching "Fétiche (The Mascot)," a 1934 animated short by pioneering puppet animator Wladyslaw Starewicz that ushered in the toys' secret life premise a half-dozen decades earlier.
In Starewicz's masterpiece, a toy, stuffed dog seeks an orange for a poor child.
The dog negotiates a series of adventures while finding an orange, but before he brings it home for the child, the dog must survive frightening times in a macabre underworld of discarded toys.
Starewicz's film always enthralls, and you should be able to see it on YouTube, look here.
