I LOVE animation from the 20's and 30's. It was so basic and innocent. It's much more appealing than the computer generated, and anime crap thats out today.

ftsjr But isn't Anime okay? That trend in Japan seems to get popular in America, which is why Kirby isn't pissed on the cover of Star Allies.

The most magical cartoons combined with the most sophisticated, if poorly edited, music... used to watch these on Sat or Sun mornings in NY while everyone was asleep... little did I realize I was watching the height of creativity, which would wane in the decades to come.

Thanks for the memories. I grew up in NY and remember watching these cartoons on our B&W television before everyone got up in the morning. In fact they were the first thing shown when the station came back on air after being off since midnight the night before. Imagine that in our 24/7 world of today.

I grew up in NJ, we had the same TV stations. I think they were broadcast on channel 13 but it could have been channel 11. I know it wasn't channel 9 or 5. Channels 2, 4 and 7 were the major network channels. Definitely not them.

@@markeastman4751, Actually if memory serves me I believe it was channel 4 (NBC) that started the morning with these old cartoons. Farmer Grey and the old Max Fleischer episodes of Popeye still stick in my mind 60+ years later. :-)

@@SpectrumAssociates Sorry this took so long. Yes, it is sad though. People take offense so easily today that they can not look at something and realize it is a measure of the time that these cartoons, animated movies or TV shows were created.

@@rickhoms5655 I don't think so unless you're referring to pre-1951. New York, the major stations were CBS (2), NBC (4) and ABC (7). They wouldn't show Farmer Grey cartoons, way to primitive and there would be little advertising revenue. Channel 5 and Channel 11 were the two biggest indies of the 4. Channel 11 telecast at least 130 Yankee games starting in the mid-50's. Ballentine was their huge sponsor. Channel 5 was "king of the kids" shows. Wonderama with Sonny Fox was huge. Channel 9 used to show old movies, mostly melodramas and film noire from the 30's and 40's. Then, in 1962, they got the Mets to compete with the Yankees. I can't remember too much about Channel 11 but I think they showed a lot of syndicated situation comedies. I liked that station. I was only 3 or 4. I thought Channel 13 sucked except for Farmer Grey. LOL

Hilarious look at illegal home brew from the Prohibition era. Glue, raisins, old shoes - sounds yummy! But it has quite a kick (1:11). And from about 6:00 on, it gets kind of strange. Not even going to get in to strange, drug- induced fantasies about mermaids and feeding a chicken hootch to strip her feathers off. I will only note that 'chicken' was jazz-age slang for a girl ( later shortened to 'chick', and still current like that). I can't believe they were showing this to five year olds in the 1960's. But I'm glad I saw it, the weirdness was never forgotten. I only want to know: where can I get some of the brew?

The title is wrong; this is actually "Raisin and a Cake of Yeast," released on February 4, 1923! One of the very earliest appearances of John Foster's animation is here: 2:54. "Chemistry Lesson" seems to be the relabel for television, probably to avoid referring to Prohibition era innuendo, so that children are kept at bay.

Wasn't the Farmer Al Falfa character revived by Terrrytoons for a handful of full-color shorts in the mid 1960's??
@TheAnubis573 жыл бұрын
I'm surprised they showed this theaters at that time --featuring a prohibition recipe. Some these concoctions must have caused trippy moments which the adult audience would have understood. I guessed this would have gone over children's heads at that time..

Commonwealth Pictures acquired a majority of Paul Terry's silent "Farmer Al Falfa" {aka "Farmer Gray", for reissue purposes} cartoons of the '20s, reissuing them for TV [and home movie use] in the '50s, using stock cues from the Thomas J. Valentino music library to "synchronize" them. This one, featuring a science-fiction theme, was originally produced in 1922!

BMI and ASCAP's website (cause KZfaq doesn't seem to allow URL listings!) list Valentino with doing some music (by a "Georse S.,Chase", yeah right, chase music...) for the early pre-Hoyt Curtin-score Hanna-Barbera (Y'know, the ones with Capitol Hi-Q music..but Capitol themselves encompassed many libraries.Roger Roger also worked for Valentino and he too is listed on the above websites for doing music for HB.
