This is from an 8mm print I own. It's a home movie release of "The Plow Boy's Revenge", here with the slightly altered title "Plowboys Revenge". The original version was released in 1927. This print is so short that it's very likely a heavily edited-down version for the home movie market, not the full original short film. This print came in a box marked "Carnival FILMS", "AESOPS FABLES", "8mm H...

This film was originally released in 1927 by Fables Studios under the title "The Magician". It was part of the "Aesop's Fables" series. This version comes by way of a later home movie re-release of only a portion of the original film with the title changed to "Chinatown Mystery". This is from a 9.5mm print I own. This print came in a box marked "F 26", "CHINATOWN MYSTERY", and "ONE 60 FT REEL"....

This is the original black and white version of this short, not the redrawn colorized version. This is from an 8mm print I own. It's a home movie release of "The Under Dog", which was released by Fables Studios in 1929 as part of their Aesop's Fables series. This home movie version was edited down to a shorter runtime for the home market, as can be seen by comparing this version to the redrawn ...

This is from an 8mm print I own. It's a home movie release of "The Great Cheese Robbery", which is a Bray Krazy Kat film released in 1920. This print came in a box with no printing and only "GREAT CHEESE ROB" hand-written on the box. Also in the box was a folded-up sheet of paper that was an order form for films from Thunderbird Films. I had it transferred to digital by CinePost on June 24, 2024.

This is from an 8mm print I own. It is a home movie re-issue of the film and is likely edited down from the original version. This version bears the title "Pirate Bold" but it seems to be a version of the short originally released under the title "Pirates Bold" in 1926 by Fables Studios. TH-cam currently has another video labeled "Pirates Bold". That other clip is 13 seconds long and doesn't ov...

Back before Walt Disney moved to Hollywood, he created this animation exclusively for one particular theater in Kansas City called Newman's. It's the earliest Disney animation that still exists today. This is from an 8mm print I own. This print came in a box with no printing on it but hand lettering saying, "GLENN PHOTO", "8 MM B/W", "DISNEY", and "NEWMAN's LAUGH-O-GRAMS". I had it transferred ...

This film was originally released in 1941 as a sound cartoon by Columbia under the title "The Streamlined Donkey". This version was modified for the home movie market by removing the soundtrack, editing down the runtime, and changing the title to "Little Donkey". The result is a fairly incomprehensible cartoon as various things happen for no apparent reason because of the missing soundtrack and...

This is from an 8mm print I own. I don't know much about the origins of this film. The opening title lists a copyright year of 1938, but given that it's a silent film with intertitles, that copyright date might be for the date of the home movie re-release, not the original release. I had it transferred to digital by CinePost on June 24, 2024.

This is from an 8mm print I own. It's a home movie release of "The Mighty Smithy", which is part of the Life Cartoon Comedies series. It was originally released in 1926. The opening title on this print gives the title as "Hard Times", and says it's a Jerry on the Job film. There was indeed a Bray film entitled "Hard Times" released in 1921 as part of the Jerry on the Job series, but that seems ...

This is from an 8mm print I own. It's a home movie release of "A Barnyard Frolic", which is a Winkler Krazy Kat film released in 1925. While there are other videos on TH-cam of this film that are longer, this one has some additional footage that is missing from the other versions, though this one is missing a lot of footage that is in the other versions. This print came in a box marked "WHIMSEY...
