Some new finds that I found while browsing the 16mm FilmTalk forums (from posts made by our very own Tommy Stathes):
- A new title: "Pussy Cat and the Owl", which is obviously the Terrytoon take on "The Owl and the Pussycat".
- "Icy Daze" is in reality the Kiko the Kangaroo outing "The Hay Ride" (this one was more me going by the synopsis and year provided in an old post of his and discovering the identity of the cartoon myself with that information at hand), yet another Terrytoon included in this package presumably from the Castle Films reissue ("Danger on Ice").
In addition, a few other odds and ends:
- The Life Cartoon Comedy "The Mighty Smithy" was almost certainly included in this package as well, as Chris Wilson's 8mm print of this cartoon contains one of their stock end titles (which appears to be original to the 16mm element the 8mm was duped from).
- I have a hunch "Santa's Arrival" is more than likely the 1942 "Christmas Tree" cartoon brought up earlier that was used for the soundtrack for "A King's Christmas". At least, the contents of the cartoon match up with this title and as I've stated before, it's more than likely they had included this as part of their package if they reused the track for it on another seasonally-appropriate cartoon.
