Terrytoons

A Terrytoons cartoon released 19 February 1937.

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).

Timmy drives his tractor all around the Vidsville farm. His red tractor sputters on down the road. Do you know how to spell tractor?

Two nutty little gnome-like men that look exactly alike, meet in the woods and proceed to hunt and fish and even attempt a duel with clumsy incompetence.

A very tough gang of alley cats are running a black-market operation in a big city, filled with little mice and gangster cats, and are making the streets mean indeed. And they have a hit-order out on Mighty Mouse.

A fox family is starving, the father with a bandaged foot and crutch. Hunters and dogs roar through and start hunting down one of the fox boys, but he not only outwits them he steals a turkey dinner from the men.

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.

A Terrytoons Cartoon

A duck becomes sheriff in a Western town ruled by Dead Eye Dick. Dead Eye warns: "This town ain't big enough few two of us and I ain't leaving!"

A hunter and his dog are chasing a fox. The fox reaches out of the screen, grabs a pencil and eraser from the artist, and then proceeds to animate the film to suit his own needs. He erases the dog's legs and draws him shorter ones. Using the pencil he draws a variety of dangers, traps and hazards that frustrate the hunter, including rapidly changing the backgrounds. But the tables are turned when the hunter grabs the pencil.

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!

A jungle land radio station run by monkeys pulls a prank by reporting an invasion from space is occurring and a large cutout face is hoisted above the trees so all can see. Fireworks are employed to sound like a war has started. The King, a Lion with a Bert Lahr voice, finally exposes the fakers. Inspired by Orson Welles' "War Of the Worlds" radio hoax.

The origin story of Super Mouse (later changed to "Mighty Mouse").

A depiction of the life of a pampered dog belonging to a rich family. It gets egg-shampoos and all sorts of other annoying indignities heaped upon its shoulders when it had rather be outside digging in the dirt. It gets loose and invites various kinds of gutter and mongrel dogs into the mansion.

Re-enactment of the famous May 31, 1889 Johnstown, Pennsylvania flood where the dam broke and flooded out an entire town! In this version, the town is occupied by mice and dogs. But Mighty Mouse comes to the rescue after drinking a bottle of "Atomic Energy." He reverses the flood waters and puts everything back where it was. And in this cartoon, he uses magic lightning bolts coming off his hands like Merlin the Magician!
