My Old Kentucky Home(First Sound Cartoon) UNCUT 

He was the one to perfect it to achievement, rather than just an experiment, or as it was said then, a “cheap gimmick”.

And the first functional airplane aucked. People who build off of others' works have an easier time improving on it.

It was considered the first cartoon with complex sounds.

There isn’t much sound effects, mostly music. That way it was easy for Walt to take credit for it. If anything I don’t think Walt knew about this.

It had to exist for Disney to perfect it. First is first and history is in sore need of correction. Now that 1927 Mickey is in public domain perhaps someone will step forward and begin setting the record straight

Don't go dissing on the bros bro.

JoCoBrony maybe Max Fleischer didn’t realize that he was still drawing teeth on his mouth but he was hammering the fake ones that happened to me To I draw this that we’re not suppose to be there

JoCoBrony Fleischer has freer animation so I mean it could be both that and well his weird antic

Much more excusable than an error committed in Cleopatra thirty years later where it is clear an extra was wearing a wristwatch Jo! Hope u still like Fliescher bros stuff! Best regards.. 🎸

Well actually I think this was supposed to be a gag. The animators and artist know that the teeth were already out in the first place, so to add more silliness they made Bimbo have more than one pair of teeth

When Bimbo plays the teeth like a xylophone, he strikes the same tooth in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that these are magic teeth, or something? Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder. ;)

Yeah, but those had no spoken character dialogue with lip--sync animation; this was the first to do so.

Jez steamboat willie is a masterpiece everything is perfect sync sound. Voices animals song and sound effects. Here there is barely sound effects pretty much no dialogue and one character. It’s still great but I think steamboat Willie is on a different level

My Old Kentucky Home was actually made in 1924 by Max Fleischer, with the help of Dr Lee DeForest. The book Max's son wrote on him states; "Both Max and DeForest saw the value of synchronised sound for Max's silent bouncing ball Song Car-Tunes. Together they made several sound-tracked Song Car-Tunes, starting with the 1924 My Old Kentucky Home. Strangely, the public didn't show much interest..." "Max was disappointed that the experiment in sound didn't work...and he also had the satisfaction of knowing that he'd made the first sound animation". Basically, he ended up releasing it as a silent short because the equipment needed to play sound in theatres was too expensive and something that owners didn't want to invest in. So, you are correct! But, this actually was (technically) the first Sound Song Car-Tune. It just hit a bump in the road and had to be officially released as a silent piece, rather than the intended sound animation. (Sorry for the long winded reply, I'm doing a paper on the Disney/ Fleischer animation feud and I get excited about sharing information!)

Nice! I am working on something as well. medium.com/@martidg/the-birth-of-sync-sound-a8dcf6a0c88d@@aquasmusic5437

Fleischer made this?!? The Popeye-Betty Boop-Gulliver's Travels-Mr. Bug Goes to Town Fleischer?!? Oh, my god. That makes that comment I made about Walt Disney knowing this cartoon existed even MORE fucked up! It's even worse when you consider that, a decade after this was made, when Gulliver's Travels came out, Walt said of it, "Are you kidding? My second-rate animators could do better than this!" He must have thought Fleischer Studios was inferior. He MUST have. Nothing against Walt, but... he MUST have.

and darkie meant

@@Stand_watieblack people

Fancy free

no wonder the Flintstones intro included the word "gay"

It's great but old Disney cartoons were way better made

True it’s the better one, but one does get an advantage after one has proven how it can be possible. In more simple terms Steamboat Willie learned from this animation, so a year later it would be better.

@@musicaldoge9412 Yeah, Walt Disney could really perfect things. It's like how Thomas Edison developed and invented the first practical incandescent light bulb; the earlier ones before his were either too large or unpractical for commercial use.

well yeah yeah. disney perfected it. however that does not give disney the right to say THEY invented this.

So just because Walt Disney made better sounds, he got all the credit for making the first cartoon with sound and this cartoon was forgotten until now.

Musical Doge, I dunno if I would necessarily say that Walt Disney and his crew would've used, or have even known about this film when they were making Steamboat Willie. Of course there's a chance that they, or one of the crew, did know about this film. Although, thinking about if Walt really advertised this as the first sound cartoon, being well aware of the existence of this one... that's kinda fucked up. I know Walt's is better, but credit should be given to this one, so that it could at least be remembered.

And adapted Popeye the Sailor Man for animation.

Simple; Disney had more money to put into the project.

It was the 1st as max and his crew hired people to record sound and then make the cartoon max did it!

Disney did not have a lot of money starting out…

This was not the first cartoon with sound, despite what the title says it’s the first cartoon with animation that goes directly with the music, such as using the voice and having it lip-synched with the dogs mouth

Now that I think about it I guess it would be kinda odd if steamboat willie actually was the first cartoon with sound. Like it seems way too good to be the very first one to do it. It makes sense that some rougher attempts were made first.

@Julito Miguel then. Wich?

Lol

SHIT i havent thought about that game in 20 years

@@PanikGrafikit’s really good

The version you're referring to just a censored version of the original.

There are three versions. For the record, I own the 16mm negatives which include this version.

Yeah I found out about the "third version" on Thunderbean's most recent blu-ray release. Fort those curious, the cartoon is what you see here, but the audio is much much different.

@@kingdelbert when you say "much much different" do you mean even more racist? Or do you mean something else?

No, the audio is 100% different on that Blu-ray. It's like they re-recorded it for a reissue or something. Different singers and orchestra. Still as racist as ever with the watermelon gag (but remember, it was a product of its time).

TOMYUトミュー ケンタッキーフライドチキンのcmソングとして日本でも有名ですよね。 私もこの歌好きです😄

This is actually Kentucky’s anthem as a Kentuckian myself I cannot believe that the first cartoon in the world with sound was made with the Kentucky anthem

Ok

Ok

Ok - Ko

Oh

Where can you watch the Mother cartoon? I can’t find it.

Where'd you read about this?

The original opening footage had Koko the Clown drawing a band and then marching into a theater to play the song, also holding up a card telling the audience to sing along.

The Jazz Singer wasn't a cartoon so this "Old Kentucky Home" was the first ever cartoon with sound.

@@thesladesterb3vt3co7h no “Oh Mabel” released 2 years before this cartoon was the first ever sound cartoon

@@No-hd4cg Yet, from what I looked up, that was also apart of Song Car Tune-Film series by Max and Dave Fleischer. Oh Mabel and My Ol’ Kentucky Home were definitely the first proper sound cartoons.

@@No-hd4cg My Ol’ Kentucky Home was the first sound cartoon, to literally have spoken dialogue. All the other ones before that just had music only I think. Nothing else.

Damn right he can!

Who? Who "he"?

What year would you say they were defeated?

@@yosefdemby8792 The year they made their second movie, when they went bankrupt from making feature films while Disney profited from it

@@iwatatiff wrong, by the 40s max was gaining power in the industry with popeye he was way more popular than Mickey but paramount shut down the studio as max and Dave thought there career was over.if not they could have kept the studio till the 40s it’s a sad fact,

@@FersoElFlaco At the 40s looney tunes were rising, disney started to make phenomenal films and fleischer was rendered obsolete

@@iwatatiff yes and max and Dave where falling apart I wonder what would happen if paramount did not shut it down?

lol what are you talking about, this song is as terrible as it is racist.

@Sandy Miller r/genzmoment

First of all, fuck this racist ass song and second, more complex music still exists, you just have to look for it. also this song is like 5 chords long

@Sandy Miller It Is Kentucky’s anthem also it was made in the time when people didn’t think that racism was bad so what did you come to expect

People have been making that argument since those terms were coined, and they will probably be saying the same thing about today’s music in 50 years. In terms of “classical” music, the only reason much of baroque,classical, and romantic music sounds good today is because of modern instruments and or a standard expectation of technical skill that musicians of those periods wouldn’t have dreamed of. I will say that in a few ways modern consumerism has taken some of the art out of music making, but only music that is made for the sole purpose of consumption reads like that. This isn’t a new phenomenon though, even Mozart and his contemporaries were subject to this. There are plenty of artists who always have and will continue to make music with real artistic merit, but music being an industry also means that there will always be artists creating music with blanket marketability in mind. On a completely different note, and I say this as a lifelong Kentuckian, this song and it’s racist history have no place as our State Song and there are so many options that are just better in every way.

Actually, My Old Kentucky Home was made in 1924 with sound, but it failed soon enough. And the 1926 version was silent. This cartoon was then made with sound again in 1928-1930 possibly. So My Old Kentucky Home and Oh Mabel are still the first sound cartoons.

That time is the only time GAY is found

Gay is a very old word that typically means happy or an heightened mood.

1970s - 2020s: a sexuality Before 1970s: happy or cheerful

You’re joking right?

@@Comeonfhqwhgads95 Nope, I am a Baby Boomer - 1955 - and these were great entertainment for us especially going outside to play too.

@@55Quirll I agree with you on the outside part but I feel like this cartoon is at least a liiiiitle bit iffy, even by the standards back then

This is its exact origin.

​@@OldsVistaCruiserTramp, Tramp, Tramp 1924

Yes

No. It's a 1926 Screen Song from Inkwell (Fleischer).

R/whoosh

No

😂😂

Not racist. It was an anti slavery anthem.

Back then, "gay" meant cheerful.
