- Description
- Episode Description
- Shape for Imagination: S. Mr. Doty shows how the viewer can have fun with art. The Witch, entranced by Pancake's serenade, stops the snake. Pancake flatters her and gives her a gift, in return for which she paints a self-portrait. This spoils the magic of the brush, which makes her weep such a pool of tears that she is in danger of drowning. To apologize for tricking her, Pancake saves her and transforms her into a beautiful young lady. Pleased by the happy end to this adventure, the four friends leave the picture and return to the museum gallery.

- Series Description
- Danny and Debbie Dee, Filbert the Dinosaur and Pancake the Magician, are the cartoon creations of Roy Doty. In these sterilized adventure for children under 10, the four friends find themselves in various surprising situations, ranging from a voyage to the moon to a trip to the prehistoric world. While each episode ends on a note of suspense, all the sections, which consists of five episodes each, end the adventures happily. Within each episode the format remains the same: first, a brief recapitulation of the previous episode (save at the beginning of a new series) followed by the presentation of drawing which young viewers have sent to Mr. Doty. The story section, which consists of narration by Mr. Doty accompanied by chalk-drawn cartoons of the characters and situations in the story, runs for approximately 15 minutes. Mr. Doty draws the cartoon on sheets of black paper which have been pre-designed so that cut-outs which appear behind the cartoons give the effect of animation. The story is followed in turn by Mr. Doty's presentation of the "Shapes for Imagination." He draws a shape on the paper - a letter of the alphabet or a simple geometric form - and shows how drawings can be based on this shape. He encourages the viewers to paint or draw their own pictures, based on the Shape for Imagination. Although Mr. Doty does show pictures drawn by young artists, at no time does he request viewers to send in their drawings. Finally, Mr. Doty talks for about three minutes on a topic related to an incident in the story segment. The episode is broken by at least one, and sometimes two or three public service spot messages, varying in length from twenty seconds to a minute. This series was originally recorded on film. NOTE: This children's series was previously broadcast on WABD (now WNEW-TV) Channel 5 in New York. Some of the spots were produced by stations to lengthen the program to fit within the NET time slot for the series. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
