This cartoon was first shown as part of the “Ruff and Reddy Show” and “King Leonardo and His Short Subjects” and later shown on “Totally Tooned In” in the 1990’s. I still have this on Super 8 which was silent and in black & white.
4:20 Scene cut, and then after the roll of the drums there was this piece 5:06, 8:31 in the Totally Tooned In series they put The woman with the the written Columbia A Color Rhapsody in Technicolor (1938-1942)
"How does a cartoon get an oscar?!" Juxtapose this with the biting wit of WB. And the artistic level and musicality of MGM. The risk-taking of UA. And the childlike wonder of Paramount. Its fascinating to realize that the animation studios had a "brand" and stuck to it.
I recently got my Super 8 copy of the same cartoon, but this cartoon was originally in color in 1935 which was part of "Color Rhapsodies", it was silent, and it was in black & white for a home movie release with inter titles included.
This cartoon marks the color debut appearance of The 3 Stooges and also, their animated debut in Columbia Pictures’ long-running Color Rhapsodies series predates Normandy-TV3-Camberia Studios “The New Three Stooges” animated series @ 6:36-7:04.
No, the first color appearance of The Three Stooges was in the live action short Nertsery Rhymes 1933 from MGM. Here you go ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zLMktteiHVk.html
Movies in the 1930s to 1960s had long programs with these cartoons and newsreel. BUT, what was the main movie for thus cartoon?? Asking in 2022 A.D. THANK YOU!!
Thank you for this excellent quality! I observed that this kid was also starring at "Gifts from the Air" (1936) of the same director, Ben Harrison. Do we know if he was used in any other cartoon?
Some of these 30s Columbia shorts are actually pretty good. This is almost on par with a Silly Symphony. I wonder what television networks aired these and where these can be found.
I agree. Columbia's 'toons don't have the pedigree of Disney or Warners, but they are pretty good, real good for little kids. Columbia did have Disney for short time arund 1932-3, but Disney just couldn't stomach the head of the studio, Harry Cohn, who WAS a vulgar man.
I want to see the original end title. It must be a gag involving the Torch Lady. Perhaps the final skyrocket burst forms the logo. If anyone knows, please reply.
That's because cartoons were played before movies to entertain you as an opening act. The movie was the actual show. So a lot of old cartoons don't have a plot or message. But a lot do.
Steve Stanchfield has found this holy grail along with another holy grail from Castle Films called “Christmas Cartoon” with a Terrytoon called “Toy Shop” complete with sound. “Bon Bon Parade” was not in the best print out there and it was not complete, except the rare Screen Gems TV title with just the credits, and no title which were spliced up and the end title was spliced with another closing title. Thanks to Steve Stanchfield for finding this beat up print of this cartoon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PpAYpR2gdOY.html
Because of the evil and vial upbringing of my generation and today's television, I was expecting this to go dark at some point and him start eating candy people or the town
