I should not have neglected to explain this above, but: The animation pointed out above clearly matches the style of one of the main animators on the Toby the Pup and earliest Scrappy cartoons from the Winkler/Mintz studio. Who were they? Dick Huemer, Sid Marcus, and Art Davis. Huemer and Marcus were at Fleischer until early 1930, when they left together to go work at Winkler. This isn't Huemer's style; we know how he drew the early Scrappy from the illustrations of his that were used for promotional items/merchandise, and that style matches one of the other animation styles in the early Scrappys, not this one. And it isn't Davis; he was already at Winkler, as he had been for a while, animating on Krazy Kat cartoons when Huemer and Marcus arrived. So the only one it could be is Sid Marcus.

Here's one Toby cartoon of particular note here, The Showman (1930). Compare this to the first of the Screen Songs I listed above and note the reuse of gag ideas from the opening segment of the earlier cartoon! Marcus co-directed and co-wrote the Toby cartoons, so there ya go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5FwVmku22Q 

I saw it, and I get your point, so I listed Marcus to those Fleischer cartoons.

As a special gift since it's my birthday today, here is Yuriy Norshteyn's strange yet beautiful film, Hedgehog in the Fog (1975):

Hope you had a great birthday, Toadette!

On another note, reckon I should get around to linking this here... here's a great and really weird Scrappy cartoon from 1931, The Dog Snatcher.

In sight of recent events, I thought it would appropriate to post this mostly dropped song from "The Aristocats" (1970). While "She Never Felt Alone" was briefly hinted in the final film, it was never actually performed. However, it was included in "The Story of The Aristocats" album:

A particularly unique cartoon produced at Terrytoons under Gene Deitch's tenure, animated by Jim Tyer:

After seeing it I like it. Did Jim Tyer animate the whole thing? It looks like something that would belong in a 60s Paramount cartoon aswell.

As Deitch himself recalls, Tyer was the key animator on this film, at the very least; he may have animated it entirely. (I know that's what Frank Young once claimed .) Tyer would go on to write (and draw!) Flebus comics.

Funny thing about the 60s Paramount resemblance...it just so happens that the late Paramount effort "Think or Sink" (1967), written by Tyer, was in fact based off of one of those aforementioned Flebus comics! (See Mark Kausler's comment here .)

Tex Avery's Jerky Turkey 1945


Rankin/Bass' The Mouse on The Mayflower 1968

Tex Avery's Jerky Turkey 1945

One of my favorite Tex Avery MGM shorts.

Here's a Looney Tune appearance I didn't knew about until recently: Bugs Bunny in a Dr. Pepper ad ("I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper").

Just dropping in to drop these rare raw transfers of rarer color [popeye] cartoons a bunch of people uploaded. They're nothing special at all, really, but this transfer of Shape Ahoy I'm posting in here is in extremely high quality. =p~





Interestingly, a syndication by a different company, in Super8 form. Original opening and ending music on this one unlike A.A.P. prints.

The uploader of the first two videos happens to be none other than Devon Baxter (who posts here, of course, as DevonB). He also has a Youtube channel devoted to Terrytoons, which I linked to in my first post on this thread.

While I'm at it, I ought to promote the excellent animator reels being done by our friend ibcf :

Of course this is unlike the CN and Boomerang airings where they had recreated Paramount titles.

There are some that are presented with their real opening and closing Paramount titles.

The uploader of the first two videos happens to be none other than Devon Baxter (who posts here, of course, as DevonB). He also has a Youtube channel devoted to Terrytoons, which I linked to in my first post on this thread.

I hate to be a bother, but I was I wondering when is he going to do the next batch of Terrytoons as it's been almost three months since the last upload.

In the meantime, let's take a look at a very interesting 1958 cartoon by Władysław Nehrebecki, best known for his "Bolek and Lolek" series.

This seemingly typical cat-and-mouse cartoon is in fact a bold graphic experiment; it just wouldn't work without its modern, abstract design (which is fully animated, to boot!). The cat is literally a yarn-like drawing that manages to escape its paper (and can be seen through), and even the solidly-colored mouse is drawn flatly; there's some real innovation in the settings, especially in the chase from 5:39 to 5:58.

As a whole, the cartoon is *almost* what a Tom and Jerry cartoon by UPA would be like, down to eschewing violence; creativity is found elsewhere, like in the aforementioned chase or even in this cartoon's mouse traps, which are practically live monsters. The music is at times very reminiscent of Scott Bradley's scores for the mid-50s Tom and Jerrys, and even some of the sound effects seem to been directly ripped from Tom and Jerry cartoons! (The springing sound at 3:35, the whisker-pull at 3:48 and 6:40 (the latter use for a piano lid opening!), the pop sound at 3:52...heck, the cat's yelping at 8:09!)

Still, it's more interesting than anything the Tom and Jerry cartoons or UPA had to offer in 1958. Enjoy!

"Ding Dong Doggie" with original titles (the transition in opening prove so):

Shamelessly taken from Thunderbean's release of the cartoon on the "Gulliver's Travels" Blu-ray, I'll bet.

Here's a film by stop-motion animator Fumiko Magari from 1983; she worked on quite a few Rankin-Bass stuff and served as a key animation director on Sanrio's "Nutcracker Fantasy". The upload is from her studio, Magari Office (and you'd think she'd have a better copy on her hands):

"Ding Dong Doggie" with original titles (the transition in opening prove so):

But it's missing "Adolph Zukor Presents A Max Fleischer Cartoon". Incomplete print?

@Bobby Bickert Don't know, as Toadette said that's how it looked on Thunderbean's "Gulliver Travels" Blu-Ray, however, the print featured has got credits unlike the UM&M version (and there are no seconds lost on opening soundtracks on both prints).

And that video it's not the only time "Ding Dong Doggie" appeared with original titles on YT. There was once a recording of this short (PAL speeduped) with original titles (albeit with fake digital transitions and the video began with short's title card) probably from a Finnish TV station.

And here's another cartoon from Studio Filmów Rysunkowych in Bielsko Biała called "Papieros" ("Cigarette") directed by Bronisław Zeman:
