A Terrytoons cartoon released 19 February 1937.

A timid pig tries to go swimming at the beach, but somehow he keeps getting tangled up with Sourpuss's fishing line.

This is actually a "Super Mouse" cartoon. The character was not known as "Mighty Mouse" until The Wreck of the Hesperus. In the altered-for-TV version, however, he is "Mighty Mouse."

One of Clint Clobber's tenants keeps a seal in his flat. After discovering the seal, Clint goes mad. He then tells his tenant he can't keep Alvin (the seal) because no animals are allowed. A man looking for a circus act visits the tenant, and is not highly impressed by the seal, until Clint chases Alvin. The man then wants to sign the seal and Clint as a "clown with seal" act. Alvin doesn't want to work with Clint and she moves to another flat with its owner. Clint is upset, because he thinks he could have been a "clown superstar".

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!

Beanstalk Jack is on trial for for crimes against Mr. and Mrs. Giant.

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.

James is a secret agent who is incredibly clumsy. Yet, no matter how many mistakes he makes in his efforts to capture the bad guy, he winds up bagging the criminal.

Percval Sleuthhound, the Sherlock Holmes of the dog kingdom, tracks down a pair of shifty characters who just escaped from jail. The crooks try every trick they know to get the relentless hound off their trail and, finally, the try to dynamite their adversary, but are blown up themselves, and land at Percival's feet in the police station.

A Terrytoons cartoon released 28 November 1941.

Terrytoons animated short film directed by Frank Moser

We see a house cat next to an unoccupied birdcage as he pulls a canary feather out of his mouth. Hmm, I wonder what happened? Now he hangs up a sign: 'Songbirds Wanted'.

In a departure from the usual Terrytoon, this short is based on predictions of things to come in the world after the end of World War II. It primarily deals with, in a comedy sense, what every "G.I." Jonnny can expect when he returns home to civilian life.

A duck goes into the business of selling eggs, and has many prize egg-laying hens working for him. A fox tries to break up the business and burglarizes it. The duck goes to a dog, a pig and a fish looking for help against the fox, but they all choose not to get involved. So the duck takes matters into his own hands...or wings.

When war is announced, all the forest animals, birds and bugs go into manufacturing of armaments, helmets and the like, with an annoying jingle about the country's instruction to step up production musically repeated.

A combination of the stories of "Cinderella" with "Jack and the Beanstalk," in which Sad Cat beats his two "dear, mean brothers" up the giant beanstalk. Sad Cat's two brothers poke fun at him for being so dumb. He goes into the business of selling magic beans.

Nancy and Sluggo do their bit for the USO.

The Farmer is abducted by a capering Jungle Goddess. As pre-Code as a Terrytoon ever got. Most animation is by Frank Moser; with him are Art Babbitt, Jerry Shields, Bill Tytla and others.
