J.R. Bray Studios

Part of Max Fleischer's "Out of the Inkwell" series.

Directed by Dave Fleischer.

This one is amusing in its early use of the rubber tire school of animation as Mr. Givny informs Jerry that they are out of coal for the train. The passengers who appear behave amusingly and when the train itself takes on anthropomorphic life, it makes its own sense -- outrageous for the day, even if slightly banal for fans of "Thomas the Engine".

Jerry Flannigan and Mr. Givney encounter some bellicose mosquitoes.

A rare spoof. With the success of the 1925 film, The Lost World, it is common that when something is popular and successful, it is bound to be a subject for parodies and cash-in attempts. One of them was The Lost Whirl. This film featured stop-motion animation by Joseph L. Roop, who worked on the original classic, The Lost World.

Wallace Carlson walks viewers through the production of an animated short at Bray Studios.

An animated interpretation of a rocket voyage to the moon demonstrates the scientific principles at play in theoretical space travel (such as gravity).

When an artist's creativity is constantly interrupted by mice, he orders two cartoon characters to get ride of them or else they'll be the ones evicted. When all else fails, they use music to lead the mouse horde away.

Bobby Bumps is up to his usual mischief, trying skates to his sleeping father's shoes and then tipping off a humble book agent to ring the doorbell.

When the New Monia station is overrun with mice, Mr. Givney can only shoot them one at a time, but Jerry uses a flute to lure them out, "Pied Piper of Hamlin" style.

One of the "Out of the Inkwell" series of silent short films featuring a combination of live action and hand-drawn animation.

After an organ grinder's monkey grabs a little girl's lollipop with his tail, the musician explains why monkeys are so clever with their tails.

Max Fleischer draws a clown, who comes alive on the page. The clown doesn't like the way he is drawn and demonstrates his own artistic abilities.

Koko the Clown's little brother comes to visit and wreaks havoc in Max Fleischer's studio.

The world's first animated surf movie

Max Fleischer draws Koko and a haunted house, while his colleague and the janitor mess around with a Ouija board. When Max goes over to take a look, Koko is haunted by ghosts and inanimate objects, and escapes into the real-world studio.

Max Fleischer considers hiring a new cartoonist. While the new guy draws Max's portrait, Koko gets into a fight with a cartoon Chinese man.

Animated film based on the comic strip "Jerry on the Job" - a man on the station platform tells Jerry Flannigan and Mr. Givney that he knows how to run a train without coal.

Colonel Heeza Liar jumps off the drawing board and into the real world to track down a stolen rooster.

Mistaking a tiger's tail for a snake, Colonel Heeza Liar puts himself in wrong with a big tiger, who gives him a very bad quarter of an hour, until the matchless courage and ingenuity of our hero overcomes him. Next our friend mistakes a bear's ears for a butterfly, and tries to net them, with the result that soon he is up a tree only a breath or two in advance of the bear. Things look very dark for him, especially as the bear energetically tries to shake the colonel from his perch like a ripe apple, but again his resourcefulness finds a victory. As a final grand windup he makes the biggest bag of game, all at one shot that anyone ever secured under similar circumstances.
