Land O Cotton (1929) Van Beuren Aesop's Fable. 

fan of the reverse gibberish. THAT is what sound on film was made for

I love old stories and shorts from the 1900s there so good

Dafuk did I just watch The 1920's were something else man

Great restoration job.

Looks like it was entirly animated by Frank Moser. Moser doesn't get a lot of credit as an animator. His work is written off as primitive. Its no more primitive than Otto Mesmer's animation was. Both produced very stylized animation, and there's nothing wrong with it at all. What I find off about this Aesop's Fable is the amateurish inking on the backgrounds- The wobbly lines bring out defects in the perspective, like the opening banjo dance on the steamboat. Terry must've been breaking in a new background guy. It'd be interesting to do a compilation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin"-parody cartoons. There seems to be a lot of them. But maybe that's not a good idea- Nowadays, it could get you in a solid ton of trouble.

Feels like a weird racially charged Mighty Mouse cartoon if Mighty never showed up to save the day

The intro song its dixie land

Yeah, Van Beuren definitely haven't figured out sound the way Disney and Warner Bros. had quiet yet, but they're getting there!

somehow I don't think that's a real Aesop quote at the end there
