Thank you so much for posting this filmstrip. My mother used to teach Sunday School and used "The Little Cloud" often during the 60's. I couldn't remember much from the storyline, but I did remember the organ cue to switch the pictures and the angry storm clouds. We have looked everywhere for it...thank you for posting this...made my day! OH MY GOODNESS! Thank you so much for posting this filmstrip.

Done at Disney for Cathedral Films about 1947. It gives credit to Gracia Caines for the story but can't find any reference to her. About 25 Art Boards with 2 Cell Overlays each. Would be interesting to see a Film Strip to compare. Looking for an appraisal as I need to get rid of stuff in storage. Have about 16 other sets of Cathedral Film Art Boards, all religious but so clearly detailed they had to be done by real talent ! Also have 4 Can's of their Movies. To learn more about Cathedral's founder, see www.wheaton.edu/bgc/archives/GUIDES/327.htm I believe I have the Original art work for “How the Birds Got Their Colors”.

It had animated characters named "Bushy the squirrel", and "Corky the crow", to name a few. It was explained that a parable as it related to the teachings of Jesus was an "earthly story with a heavenly meaning". These were very instrumental in whetting my appetite as a 6-8 year old in wanting to know Jesus in a personal way in order to understand his teachings and ultimate sacrifice on the cross because of his love for mankind including each individual. So you can understand my interest in looking into the possibility of obtaining a copy of this filmstrip series. I know several Baptist churches in the "60s" used these in their Sunday school or Children's church curriculum. Do you have any ideas where I might find out where to get a copy of these filmstrips? Thankyou for anything you might be able to tell me. I Believe it was Cathedral Films that produced a series of filmstrips called “Parables from Nature”.

It contains 5 filmstrips, missing #2. and three LPs that go with the stirips. Also the teacher's study guides, and the master guide . It also has the study guides (four) for a different series titled "Story of the Prophets". Strips are in great shape and feature great scenes and characters in color.

"Cloud" was the one with the most religious content; the rest of them were more historic (i.e. "Young Abe Lincoln," which was unfortunately missing from my set) or civic (like "Bike Safety"). Hearing about your filmstrips definitely makes me want to keep visiting the local antique shops!

I was cleaning out boxes of old family "stuff" and among hundreds and hundreds of 1960s vacations slides was a small box with seven filmstrips: “The Little Cloud” (with paper script) “Martin the Shoemaker” “The Little Match Girl” “The Last Journey to Jerusalem” “Unfaithful Servant” “How the Birds Got Their Colors” (with paper script) “My Beloved Son” I understand from another webpage that Cathedral Films, headquartered in Burbank, California, hired animators from Walt Disney Studios for some of their artwork. I'm young enough that I can just barely remember "The Little Cloud", "The Little Match Girl", and "How The Birds Got Their Colors". To put it mildly, stumbling into "The Little Cloud" on UTube was a mind-altering moment. Thanks for the posting. Very amazing.
