Toy movie stick

A hand-held toy movie stick comprising in combination:

• an elongated rod-like element having a row of substantially identically configured longitudinally-aligned notches formed along at least one surface thereof;
• a first disc element rotatably mounted at one end of said rod-like element and provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced apertures defining in sequence a series of related amimated representations;
• a second planar screen element having a light-reflective surface mounted at said one end of said rod-like element coaxially with and longitudinally spaced outwardly from said first disc element;
• means mounted on said rod-like element adapted to selectively project a beam of artificial illumination therealong and through the apertured section of said first disc element in alignment therewith and onto said second planar element for reflection therefrom;
• and a rubbing member adapted to be stroked across and in contact with said row of notches of the rod-like element to thereby impart selected rotational movement to said first disc element.
