Swing Wedding, (1937) MGM



Directed by Hugh Harman, Swing Wedding contains frog caricatures of 1930's African American entertainment stars Ethel Waters, Stepin Fetchit, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, and The Mills Brothers.

At about seven minutes, 28 seconds in, watch the trumpet player's trumpet turn into a syringe, that he jams into his arm!

This copy is pristine. I downloaded it from YouTube a few years ago, and re-uploaded it on Sunday, because the original uploader had removed it.

Never assume that your favorite YouTube videos will always still be there, if you want to see them again. If you have a YouTube downloader, try to keep a copy on your hard drive, just in case. The quality of the other copy on YouTube is fair, at best.
 
Tom and Jerry - Solid Serenade (1946) MGM



This is the one where Tom 'sings', Is You Is, or Is You Ain't My Baby?
 
Bimbo's Initiation (1931) Max Fleischer Studios



This is now considered to be a Betty Boop cartoon, but at the time, Bimbo was the star. Betty has a cameo appearance. At that time, Betty was still a cartoon dog. Her dog ears later became hoop ear rings.

Clips from this film appeared in the theatrical film Twilight Zone - The Movie.
 
Pooch the Pup in King Klunk (1933) Walter Lantz



Walter Lantz is best known for creating Woody Woodpecker. This cartoon is a parody of King Kong, also released in 1933.
 
Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (1943), Warner Bros.

Beware the high pitched noise during the first few seconds of the test pattern at the beginning!



This is a superb copy of this classic, from 16 MM film, and part of the "Fab Collection". It took me over six months to get the 75 MB file on emule some years ago, because 'Fab' had limited bandwidth, and a lot of people wanting his files. I put this upgraded version on YouTube tonight.

This is directed by Robert Clampett, who left Warner Bros. in 1946, and later created Albert Einstein's favorite show, Time for Beany, and the cartoon version, Beany and Cecil.

This is one of the Warner Bros. "Censored Eleven", banned for all time from television, for racial stereotyping.

Primary guest voices are Ruby and Vivian Dandridge, mother and sister of Dorothy Dandridge, who was the first African-American woman to be nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award, for the title role in Carmen Jones, (1954).
 
Inki and the Minah Bird (1943), Warner Bros.



Chuck Jones directed five Inki and the Minah Bird cartoons between 1939-1950. Four of them were released on laser disk around 1983. This is the only one of the five that's in the public domain.

The Minah Bird has been my favorite Warner Bros. cartoon character since I was about three years old, and I use him as my avatar on another board. His theme music is Fingal's Cave Overture by Felix Mendelssohn, who wrote the music in 1830.
 
Your Name in Cellulite



I don't know anything about this cartoon, except for what's in the end credits.
 
The Goddess of Spring, (1934) Walt Disney



This Silly Symphony tells the story of the G-reek legend of Hades and Persephone.
 
The Robber Kitten, (1935), Walt Disney



Disney's Silly Symphonies were all one-shot cartoons, without continuing characters.
 
The Tell-Tale Heart, (1953), Columbia - UPA



Directed by Ted Parmalee, based on a short story by Edgar Allen Poe, and narrated by James Mason.
 
Peace on Earth (1939) MGM



Another from Hugh Harman, this is a classic anti-war film, released shortly after World War II had started in Europe.
 
Little Rural Riding Hood (1949), MGM



One of the Wolf and Red cartoons, by Tex Avery.
 
Popeye in The Dance Contest, (1934) Max Fleischer



In the Popeye cartoons, the dialogue is never synched to the video, because the animation was completed before the voices were added, exactly the opposite from how cartoons are usually made. The voice actors would generally improvise their dialogue, while watching the finished film. Mae Quesnel provides the voice for Olive Oyl. She was also the voice of Betty Boop.
 
Betty Boop in Mask-A-Raid, (1931), Max Fleischer



In many of the Betty Boop cartoons, the animators were given a song, and told to build a story around it. This is the first Betty Boop cartoon in which she was human, previously, she had been a cartoon dog.
 
Davey and Son of Goliath, (1995), Corky Quackenbush



This cartoon, originally aired on MADTV, tells the story of David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam killer, using the Art Clokey Davey and Goliath characters.
 
The Reinfather, (1996), Corky Quackenbush



This is the second of three Corky Quackenbush cartoons that are parodies of classic films, using the characters from the 1964 Rankin-Bass holiday classic, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. This one is a parody of The Godfather,with Rudolph in the combined role of Vito and Michael Corleone.

I may be able to upgrade this video link, at some future date.
 
That's it for today. I'll upload some more, soon, possibly after midnight tonight.

I have a lot of great cartoons that I can upload for you through YouTube, but you might not be able to find them, if you search for them there. I'm not going to explain how to do that in this thread.

If you like a particular cartoon or cartoon character in the thread so far, tell me with the Likes or Thanks button. I'll see that in my e-mail, and if I have others that are similar, I'll try to get them posted for you soon.

If you have cartoon requests, you can ask for them is Ask bobistheowl!.

If you don't want anyone to see anymore cartoons in this thread, post drivel, and it will not be updated.

Thanks, and look for another show, coming soon.

I have to agree with you that Cartoons are a great art form and a medium for expression.
