You guys were so helpful on my last inquiry, that I've decided to try this board again for help in naming a toy.

This is a toy made by "creative playthings" and it's about the size of a fishing rod video game controller. I'm not sure when it's made or exactly what to call it. It has a picture window with a 360 degree flip book inside of Mighty Mouse. When you turn the handle, the flip book plays and it shows Mighty Mouse punching a Cat in the face and then flying off. Anybody know what the name of this toy is? Or when it was made?

I believe that's a "Flip-It Movie Viewer". Those were made in the late 60's - early 70's. I also believe the "movies" were interchangeable. Never seen one with the movie still inside though.

That's it!! Thanks Joe Moore. Mine seemingly doesn't have any way to take it apart. There is a large seam running right down the middle, do you know if it comes apart in 2 halves?
