Thanks for putting this on KZfaq. I used to watch these cartoons on TV before going to school in the late 1950's. The musical soundtrack brings back so many memories of my childhood. Thank You!

This was originally released in 1925; Commonwealth Pictures reissued these silent cartoons for TV in the '50s, using stock music cues from New York's Thomas J. Valentino music library {those who regularly listen to WBAI-FM in New York will recognize the cue at :15 as the one that opened each episode of "POISONED ARTS" in the late '90s}.

Where did you find this gem? They ran these in Puerto Rico's old channel 11 every Monday - Friday during the 1960's until about 1971. The music became ingrained into my brain, doubtlessly my appreciation for classical music springs to the many hours I spent glued to the TV watching these cartoons. After all these years I can still hear the familiar tunes even unheard! I have been searching for these cartoons for years to no avail. Is there a DVD? Is there somewhere we can purchase them?

Remember these in the 1950s. I remember that the TV station would go off the air over night and come on at 6 or 7 AM. They would start by playing the star spangled banner then these "mouse cartoons" as we called them would come on. Great to watch them again.

Estos clásicos de los dibujos animados (los muñequitos) me trajo muchos recuerdos de mi infancia en los 70's entre las edades de los 7,8 y 9 años cuando los veía en el canal 11 de Puerto Rico y lo daban casi todos los días hasta los domingos en la tarde. WOW QUE TIEMPOS.

I remember a TV show in the early 60's called,"Terrytoon Circus" with Claude Kirchner. He used to show the middles of these cartoons, or at least not the whole thing. He had a puppet named Clowny, and the whole show was very low budget.

Updating my own post: Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream Overture", Bizet's "Le Bal", and Lecuona's "Malagueña" are the three classical pieces that were heard on the soundtrack over these silent-era cartoons. They were just about my introduction to classical music though, at the age of six, I wasn't aware that's what was happening. There were probably others, and updates are welcome.

@jameshagerstrom I watched Terrytoon Circus with Claude Kirchner and Clownie, every night for years , it was the last show before bedtime. I guess it was a NYC thing on WOR 9 . If i remember correct , it was on 7;00 -7;30 pm. '' and now its time for most of you boys and girls to go to bed'' . Boy do i miss those wonderful days. There's a nice last interview on you tube with Claude Kirchner , one heck of a nice guy ! Did you watch Spunky and Tadpole or Colonel Bleep ?
@johnrobinsoniii40286 жыл бұрын
You're right on the mark. I remembered everything you mentioned. I was (circa). 5 years old. And (l.o.l.) I couldn't STAND it when Mr. Kirchner delivered the "bad news" to us kids. (l.o.l.: my older Brother and Sister recalled how they used to turn the volume way down so that our Mother wouldn't hear Mr. Kirchner's statement!) P.S. Not only "Colonel Bleep", but also his companions, "Squeak" and "Scratch".

The Terrytoon with the trailer and Indian was TIN CAN TOURIST, and the one with the mechanical cow was (guess what?) THE MECHANICAL COW. Both were made in the mid-late 1930's. I doubt they'll ever be released on DVD, but there's a chance you might find an old 16mm or 8mm home-movie print on ebay or somewhere.

A lot of the music heard behind these cartoons was recorded in Europe, especially the UK. The reason for this is, there were no residuals or union scale to pay across the pond. You paid for the music only, not the musicians, unlike the US, where the musicians' union was quite powerful back then. And although the classics were heard countless times, as well as folk tunes, there were then-contemporary composers like Roger Roger who actually wrote original stock music.

Speaking of extremist movements-I have a feeling that one or two of these Terrytoon animators were Bolsheviks, animating cartoons about (what they thought was) the exploitation of the workers, and the supposed coming revolution. What do you think? What cannot be denied is: Farmer Al Falfa ( the name I learned) had a serious mouse problem.
