Terrytoons

A Terrytoons cartoon released 20 July 1945. A twisted version of some famous fairy tales! The Wolf introduces himself and explains that he's misunderstood! Red Riding Hood comes along, and the Wolf changes into his zoot suit, grabs Red and makes her do a jive boogie-woogie dance with him! Mighty Mouse sees this, and he clobbers the Wolf. Then the Wolf cross-dresses to impersonate Little Bo Peep, and lures a flock of lambs into his trap. He whips out a gun and makes the sheep take their wool off! Mighty Mouse sees this, and he beats the heck out of the Wolf. The Wolf then tries to get into the Three Little Pigs' house by pretending to be a cowboy. He calls for backup. The Wolves attack the pigs, Mighty Mouse trounces them, and all is well in Cartoonland!

Through a stray dog's mishaps, the stray gets mixed up with people who aren't really paying attention. He starts out as a shoe shine boy, then ends becoming the president of the GALLAGER and Foofer Frankfurter Co.

But the tables are turned when the hunter grabs the pencil.

And in this cartoon, he uses magic lightning bolts coming off his hands like Merlin the Magician!

A Terrytoons cartoon released 7 September 1934.

The youngest son of poverty-stricken Old Mother Rabbit, who lives in a show in a forest, leaves home to seek his fortune in order to help his family. He soon fins himself in an amazing land where trees dance, sing and play. The baby rabbit saves the frog kind from the clutches of a hungry crane. He is given a pile of gold coins as a reward.

The fish in the ocean seem to be making fun of an earnest young man in a row- boat holding a fishing line. A shark comes along, grabs the bait and the hook, and soon wrecks the boat. It's a close race as both head for the shore. The fisherman gets conked on the head and dreams of rescuing a mermaid from the denizens of the deep. As she is about to prove how grateful she is he wakes up to find the shark waiting to pursue him even on shore.

This one has lots of what Terrytoons are notorious for: cycles! And cycles of the commonest kind: ants harvesting and a baby factory! It also has a voluptuous Queen Ant and a sweetly delivered punchline which may make it worth your trouble. Withheld from television release; presumably because it leaves too many "birds-and-bees" questions unanswered for tiny tots (and their beleaguered parents).

It's the mice versus the cats in a football stadium.

Good Deed Daly is a model boy scout and is helpful as can be even when his help is not needed. When he walks into a bank and finds all the employees bound-and-gagged, Daly senses that something is not quite right. The announced on the television set says that gangster Desperate Dumkopf is on the loose. Dumkopf, a master of disguise, transforms himself into a lamp-post and follows Daly. Dunkopf then changes into a scout-master and directs Daly to walk off a cliff. Daly, however, comes to no harm, and, in the battle that follows, unmasks Dumkopf and earns another merit badge.

Lots of opera singing in this one.
