Isabel

Isabel was a fictional female character that appeared in the 1949 theatrical short Land of the Lost (Famous Studios). Isabel's design was virtually identical to that of Little Audrey, one of the more influential animated child characters of the 1950s.

As most of the action took place in a magical underwater realm, Isabel's panty shots were the result of her dress floating up above her waist (a plot device repeated in 1954's Seapreme Court). In keeping with the conventions of the time, Isabel was depicted with silky white panties beneath an abbreviated hemline.

Land of the Lost was directed by Isadore Sparber, one of Famous Studios' prime movers. According to a number of sources, the company produced at least two other cartoons featuring Isabel and her brother Billy, Land of the Lost Jewels (1950), and Land of Lost Watches (1951). Both recycled footage from the original.

Background
"Land of the Lost" started out as a popular children's radio show (no relation to the 1970s TV series), broadcast between 1943 and 1948. The concept was popular enough to launch a children's book in 1945 and a short-lived comic book in 1946. Panty shots don't appear to have played a significant role in either.
