I already need to keep up a Photobucket account AND a snapfish one; that's plenty for me to keep track of, as far as I am concerned, four weeks is more than sufficient time for anyone who wants to save any images I post to do so.

Few more images (found a cache of duplicates behind a bookshelf while cleaning)
Oz
Japanese Illustrator Sonoko Arai, Hardcover version (the softcover has differnt illustrations, but there is no other one of this scene)
Japanese (will look up name of Illustrator later)
Japanese. I usually call this version the "chocolate egg" version, as these interpretations of the characters were used to make some small plastic modles that were a prize in hollow chocolate eggs (similar to Germany's Kinder Eggs) The illustration in fact wraps around two pages or why one of them is split
Japanese Aiotori Bunko edition, second version
Japanese Propura sha edtion second version "Blueback" Dont know the name of the illustrator, but she has done a LOT of books in Japan
Englis (the text may be in Chinese, but the illustration is a copy of the one from one of the Readers Digest Classic versions)
Little Betty Blue by Gyo Fujikawa
Two pictures from a Japanese version of Pippi Longstocking
Picture from a version of the Japanese Folktales "Clack Clack Mountain"
Picture from a version of the Japanese Foltale "The Oni and the Persimmons"
From some anime book or other (Kanon, I think)
and finally from one of Kay Thomson's Eloise Books (Eloise in Paris) while not one of the actuall shoe losses, this is a truly excellent dangle. Also note image in new avatar
Finally one note regarding the images. My Photobucket account is getting pretty full by now (I do use it for thing other than images here) so from now on, two to four weeks after I post images here, I'm going to remove them. That should give anyone who wants to plenty of time to copy the ones they want to keep.

I knew that, I do have the Mirei figure (3 actually, I have one of each color variation) Though since the Figurine is designed to sit in a chair, I think he may have simply used it as a model for the leg then mixed and matched pieces.

Found this surfing. I appears to be the construction history of the "dangling" model of Callie Briggs (from SWAT cats) while I won't claim to like everything about the artists interpretation. Callie did not have claws in the series (and she basically had human hands, the "cat's can rertract thier claws" doesn't really work here) so she probably shouldn't have them now especially on her feet (if her toenails were that long, she probably couldn't get her shoes ON in the first place) but it is a well constructed piece.

I've got a copy. And no, the one on the cover is the only shoe loss scene (and even that is unique to this edition; older one's have a different cover that does not have this) Actually, the costume on the cover is not worn by Marion Duval at any point in the book, where the cover illustrator came up with it I do not know.

Some great finds here, I especially liked the live action one, Rich Man, Poor Woman. You get two great close up shots of her stocking foot and a nice heel pop. She's so cute too. I couldn't find shoe loss in your first link or last link though, even though I jumped to the times you pointed out. |
In the last link
Go to 20.21 she is running wearing one shoe don't see her lose it. |
She doesn't lose it because she never had it. That's Momoji, and as I mentioned earlier, in her "normal" costume, her left foot is bare and she wears a worn out broken loafer on her right foot (I think this, like the patches on her clothes and "spirit band" are meant to indicate she is a god of poverty and misfortune) Oddly she tends to keep in that state in both conditions; that is, not only does she have one shoe outside (when a normal person would have 2) but usually inside as well (where, this being Japan, a person would normally be shoeless). The scene you are mentioing actually is around the first minute or so (there is a glitch in the file where if you fast forward too fast, the file gets mixed up with regard to timing, and the time count gets screwed up. The actualy loss being referred to is the other character, who has been turned into a child as a result of an incorrect ageing spell . When momoji catches her and grabs her off the ground one of her pink slip-ons falls off.

And I must to ask You for the Korean Cinderella, because in Poland I can't get that version. How many editions You know? And how many of them includes shoe losing scene illustrations? |
Would you happen to know which one? (I can PM you some cover illustrations). That would be useful informantion for me, since then I would know which edition I need to be actively hunting down.
Yes, a lot of the soviet era art for Baum/Volkov is pretty poor (I many not have all that many Polish versions, but thanks to years of Eastern European booksellers plying their wares on ebay, I have a TON of soviet era Oz and Volkov books from Russia,Latvia,Hungary,Romania, the Ukraine etc.) Though I think you may be selling the illustrators of the period a little short. Yes, a lot of them are a bit blocky and unispired, but there are a few bright spots. I LOVE Chizikov's interpretation of Volkov. And while there are no shoe loss pictures (well except maybe for one maybe). I think the illstrations done for one of the Russian publications of Baum's Oz books by the Armenian illustrator Shageldian are absoultely hilarious (sort of like Oz drawn by Dr. Seuss). Even with regards to the Polish publactions, I have in my collection copies of the Ozma, Dorothy and the Wizard and Magic of Oz books with the illstrations by Zibignew, and while I wont claim they are the height of art, they do have a certain charm ( I particualry like how he handled Dorothy in Dorothy and the Wizard, somehow, having her in a plaid shirt, a denim skirt and cowboy boots seems so right.)
As for your question about the Korean one, that's kind of hard to answer. I think that that book is the only version of that story I have. it was part of a lot of Korean books I bought a year or two ago on ebay. There were two more books of that series in the lot, which I think consists of classic Korean fairy tales for toddlers given the fact is is a board book and the size (it's hard to tell from the scan but the thing is tiny it can't be more than 2 inches to the side.) I think the actualy story is called something like "Pear Blossom". It's the traditional Korean version of Cinderella, which is actually an incredibly ancient fairy tale (a copy of Ko-ai and her Lost shoe, which is the Chinese Version of the story was found buried in a wall in china, and the carbon dating of the parchment places it's writing back during the Warring States era (i.e. before 221BC). How many editions of this story are out there (and how many have an illustration of the shoe loss) I have no idea. My collection is not NEARLY as rich in Korean books as it is in Japanese (it's simply a matter of acess, for Japanese books, I have Bookoff (one branch now, two for a lot of the time I was collecting, and Kinokuniya (for new Japanese books) AND (now) Rinkiya. For Korean, I'm pretty much limited to whatever someone decides to list on Ebay, and that really isn't a lot (There are two Korean bookstores I know of, but I don't usually find anything there (I think the only thing I've ever bought at either was a copy of the Kim Min Ji version of the Wizard of Oz, and that doesn't have a loss (at least not in that version).
As for Korean books in general, that's even more of a complicated matter. On the one hand, there is in fact, quite a lot of children's literature published in Korean, since it is one of the farily small number of Asian countries where there is a big population of rich and affluent people who can afford a Western style array of multiple publications/editions of the same title. On the other hand, the actualy amount of ORIGINAL illustrative art isn't as high. as it might appear on the surface. In many respects, a lot of the Korean children's book illustration market runs sort of like a clearing house, where versions of stories are gathered from the rest of the world both Western and Eastern (i.e. China and Japan) translated into Korean, and re published there. To use Oz as the example I am most familar with, I have had over the years probably around 30-40 different Korean adapataions of the Wizard of Oz. Of those some used the "original" illustrations by Denslow. About 4-5 used illustrations different enough that I can be fairly sure they were original Korean production (though even those were often heavily influence by other sources) at least two featured "re-draws" of the Japanese ones by Takahasii (that's the one in the pictures I scanned where Dorothy is blonde, and has kneesocks) There were at least two that took thier illustrations from China (though since China does the same trick of copyting, without publication information, it's hard to say whethere China copied Korea or Korea copied China) There were 2 whose illustrations originated in Germany, at least one from Italy, and one two parter whos pictures going just by sylye (I can't read Hangul any more than I can read Kanji or Kantaka, so I have no real way of checking this) probably originated in either Spain or Portugal. So trying to guess how many of the books in Korea are likey to have appropriate pictures is basically almost impossible.

You put here a GREAT collection of wondrful pics. Thank You for it! |
You're quite welcome. I I didn't say I'd NEVER do any more, just not right now.
That brings up an interesting question I was meaning to ask you. Given how scanty you said you Oz folder was, I am a little suprised your collection includes no illustrations from Polish versions of the Wizard of Oz . I know there are at least 10 different editions out there (probably closer to 20+, if you include the ones I never paid much attention to because they were dupliactes of ones I already had in other languages).

On TV today (sorry, too new to have a link)
Sidekick, "Insane in the Cranial" Valerie kicks off her shoes and socks while suspended over a pit of aliiagators; so she can use her feet to tickle the rest of the group and make them fall. as is common in cartoons, she has them back by the next scene.

Maybe could You to make a photos of that illustrtations? I'm really curious of that, because in my country I can't get books with that beautiful pictures. |
No, my only camera that can take a digital photo is the one in my camera, and that has such poor resolution you wouldn't be able to see anything.
EDIT:
I took some careful slow work, but I managed to scan the most of the images without damaging the books (I couldnt find an older copy of the match girl). Just don't complain about the shading on the fist nutcracker image; to get a clearer picture, I would have had to literally tear the book in half. And hunter, this is IT for the moment, as I said, I don't have the time or ENERGY to scan ALL of my collection.
Cinderella
Nutcracker
and I found a Korean on my shelf while i was looking for the others

While cleaning my room over the weekend, I located a few dupicalte books, so I did a little scanning and here are a few of the other Japanese examples
First the three other oz I mentioned (in order I mentioned them)
and a few more
The Nutcracker
The Little Match Girl
The Elves and the Shoemaker
and a Cinderella
There are a few more (at least 2 more nutcrackers, 2 more cinderellas and another Little Match girl*) but at the moment I only have one copy of those books (and so can't risk damaging them by scanning) So I hope this does till I do.
* The other little match girl is sort of interesting as it is actually from the same book as the first one I posted above, so logically I should have been able to scan it. The problem is that, in that case, whether or not the picture is there is dependent on the edition as well as the book. There are two versions of the page. Older copies have the page following the one I scanned (which shows the little boy running away with the little match grils shoe) with the Little Match girl with the other shoe still one. In newer copies, the picture has been redrawn so that the Little Match Girs is completely barefoot, with the other shoe sitting in the snow (probably to more accurately match the story, where the shoe that wasn't stolen was run over by the cart) they spare copy is a current version, and I don't have an old one at this time.)

I suddenly remembered somewhere where some of the Oz in my collection had been posted online, so I pulled out the relevant pages. Mandrake, these might be of particualr interest to you, as it appears that Yutaka Ono likes to give his Dorothy's tights (though whether they fit you defintion of sheer or not) is debatable)
The illustrator did one more version (actually he or she did two, but the fourth has no loss) but I havent found an online scan of that one yet (and scanning my copy would break the spine)
I also found one more(different illustrator)
and there's another besides this* (still yet another illustrator) but again, I haven't found an online scan. And the last one of the type I have again has no loss
*actually, my reasrches have led me to conclude that there is probably and eighth Wizard of this type as well, but as I have yet to even see a copy of it, I cannot comment on whether it has a loss or not (It largely depends on who did the illstrations)

I remember some old cartoon called the mighty B in the episode called bee happy the main character steps in her dogs droppings and trying to clean her shoe it randomly catches on fire and her shoe and sock turn into ashes she's left like this for half the episode can't find any links though |
The episode was called "Bee Nice" but I can't seem to find a youtube video of it either.
There was actually was another Mighty bee episode with a one shoe scene (don't remember which one) Bessie was exicted about winning some Honeybee selling goal and getting a lifetime supply of bobby socks. When she imagines what that will be like, the scout in her imagination has one shoe off (on the raside foot to show off the socks) and one on (on the foot still on the ground) Icidentally Bessie pulls a similar move in the episdoe "Ten Little Honeybees" when she gives Portia bobby socks as a gift, but in that case, both shoes are not there.
And while it is not a loss per se, the tuble Bessie takes at the beginning of the episode when she gets a shot leaves her with one shoe dangling for a few seconds.
Speaking of dangles look at 00:19 of this episode of Billy and Mandy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCDAmKiiHmw
On top of being probably as close to a shoe loss as Mandy has in the whole series (she's barefoot in "The Prank Call of Cthulu" but we don't actually see her pulled out of her shoes, like we did with Billy) this scene raises some questions as to exaclty waht kind of shoes Mandy is wearing in the series. Most comics assume she has Mary Janes (she certainly did in the pilot) However given that she does not appear to be wearing socks this seems unlikey, since if she was the "gap" on her shoes between the vamp and the strap would be fleshtone, not white (I am aware that there are such things as half socks, but you seem to see too much of her foot there for even that. It's what I called the "Peanuts effect" (called due to the fact that the same thing usually happened in the Peanuts comic strip with some of the minor characters.)

A few from Adventure Time
First the best one (and the only one I have a link for) in the episode "waht is life?" (1:41)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3nJLZcACYM
Most of the rest are a bit more iffy. Technically Composite Princess (from the "Normal Family" episode) wears only one boot, since she has one leg from Undead Princess. However since her other "leg" is in fact Hot Dog Princesses's entire back half, that may not exactly count. Raggedy Princess may also have only one shoe, but it's iffy (it's a little hard to tell if the brown bit on one of her legs is a shoe, a sock or simply part of her foot)

Found this while doing a little online book reasearch
While I can't read Hungarian, I am pretty sure that this is a book of Grimm's Fairy Tales, or maybe Hans Christian Andersen. It's the story called something like "Clever Kate" or something like this, the one where the man claims his wife is so clever she can accomplish anything and the kind tests her by demanding she show up the next morning "Neither walking nor riding, neither shod nor barefoot, neither fed nor hungry, neither clothed nor uncloathed and bringing me a gift that is not a gift."
