Mercury compounds were used in the production of felt. The story goes that felt makers used to use urine to soften the felt (urine used to be used in the production of tons of things) and most of the felt makers would just use their own. But one felt maker had consistently better product, and it was because he was being treated with mercury for syphilis.

@@GravyGoodbread Well the word gay now has two meanings. The first, back then, being carefree and merriment. The second what we now consider homosexual. But I see what you mean.
Fun fact: many hatters back then went mad because of the gasses they inhaled from the hat-making process. The gasses were poisonous and messed with their heads, rendering them incapable of working properly. This donned the term "mad as a hatter."
Everybody knows it was the mercury nitrate used to separate the fur from the skin that drove them mad. What is IS interesting though, is that the cause was discovered in 1941. So merely one year after this cartoon was made.
They knew that hatmakers and people working with pelts did not live long and often lost sanity (hence the term mad as a hatter that predates Lewis Carroll). They just did not pinpoint why until 1941.
Actually they knew since the 1800s. There were medical studies showing what was up. They just didnt care. There was a lot of protest and boycotting from the hatters themselves. They only just banned it in 1941.

That's because these earlier cartoons where just that, animated shorts. Their main purpose was to entertain an audience. Cartoons from the 70s and 80s where more like long animated commercials to sell toys. Studios would make them as cheap as possible to beat the competition.
Labour intensive work that became simplified, rationalised and automated as time went by to save money. Hanna Barbera perfected cheap animation by repetitive scenes and movements, the Japanese achieved a style of minimum movement, and today anything not computer animated gets outsourced to the third world.
One thing I've always loved about cartoons from the 1900s is the orchestra they always had in the background to really exaggerate what's going on in the story. It's just really satisfying and gives a good voice to the music to me.

Oh actualy they were partialy aware, back in the late 1800s Lewis Carrol already wrote the Mad Hatter in his book because of that. The whole novel is brimming with social comentary of Victorian England.
They knew what was causing it. It's just the industry didn't change, or the gov didn't create laws to protect the hatters from these chemicals, because the hatters had been using that treatment for so long that it was just a known fact that to be a hatter, you will be exposed over time. They couldn't make money without using those chemicals because there was nobody out there trying to invent something different. People did far crazier things to make a living 100+ years ago than becoming a hatter.
So workers getting poisoned is funny to you? That’s like laughing at cancer patients who inhaled asbestos at work before they knew it was dangerous. If you think that’s funny you’re mentally ill.
They knew entirely, and they didnt like it. This cartoon was just offensive. People knew how it was affecting them. People saw how they were dying. It was obvious. The companies however didnt care.

P3nny Pebbles i think IRL hat makers were exposed to deadly metals causing their brains to deteriorate like early dementia . Idk tho I haven't read about it recently
Jeff brown, not really. The species was already in decline before Europeans arrived in North America. They were usually killed because of their meat or because they posed a threat to agriculture, not because of women’s hats Edit: the decline of the population seems to be controversial. They weren’t all shot. They mostly also died out because their habitat was destroyed, not only because they were shot.

God, words cannot describe how much I LOVE traditional animation! Not to throw CG under the bus or anything, but it just does not stack up to hand-drawn, imo. That's real animation!
Because it was still odd to the patriachists and men with fragile egos to believe into intelligent and hard working women so they were displayed as this. Working women were still unusual in that time. If you look at other videos and advertisements you may notice they are having the same images as well.
@Zeesaialeaizmad123 I don't think that last comment was a dig at stay at home mothers. More of an observation that women of that time rarely worked outside the home. Seeing a working woman represented in the 40s was progressive for the era. The cartoonist at least doesn't have her at home, changing diapers and lighting her hubby's pipe, as though that's a woman's sole purpose.
R C Nelson -----Do you eat breakfast with your mouth dirty , full of germs and bacteria and awfully stinking right after you just woke up ? eeew! that's gross and disgusting !
Another beautifull, richly painted, Color Rhapsody toon, and the double story structure was perfectly and seamlessly executed. Whenever I see such rich background painting it reminds me of those incredible oil paintings of Donald Duckdom by Carl Barks.
+gnikcohs Yep, Sid Marcus's cartoons have always gone for a more detailed look (for better or worst). It really feels like an animated adaption of _Saturday Evening Post_'s work. You should check out his others (_The Way of All Pests_, _The Cuckoo I.Q_, _Tangled Television_, etc.....). They're not restored like this one, but they're still gorgeous.
It's one those paradise about the working girl struggle , then it's about how hats are made and designer that makes them as crazy and how fashion of hats are overrated just like now
Bock Kenneth No way this is fake. Many people try to recreate old cartoons, but they lack a lot of the characteristic content of the era. Not that they aren’t good, but there is certainly a movement and style of this time, that if you look at a genuine one and a modern day recreation, you can definitely tell the difference. Not to mention those little blips and dots on the reel. Many people might overdo on those to give an animation an ‘old time’ feel, but those don’t look intentional. They appear to be the natural product of the filming technology of that time. The color on this has most likely been digitally remastered, but that’s probably about it.
despite the incredibly problematic nature of this film the sheer amount of original animation would never be seen today, this film would be prohibitively expensive in todays market.
Everyone judging the people who made the cartoon saying that it’s insensitive that they depict women of just being lazy and eating candy at work. You don’t know Macy’s life! Maybe she taste test candies! Or maybe she reads books for a publishing company! You don’t know Macy’s life! Don’t judge! Do you know how hard it was to make a colored cartoons back in the 1940s! It’s hard!
This was made in 1940, but this has this energy of some yt cartoon short from some animator with 15k-20k subs, that would randomly show up in my recommended with at least 5M views. That's how you know the short aged like Fine Wine.
i find it wonderfully charming that the very intelligent conversations below are being ellicited by this fascinating cartoon there is hope for intelligent conversations,,,,
I think the cartoon not only shows the mercury problem of that time, Also consumerism and the fact that we all practically kill ourselves to later spend the money on fashions that designers could well get out of it under the influence of a crazy person.
cool fact: at 6:53 it shows the Columbia lady having an american flag wrapped around her. We all know her from just looking like a pretty lady with some white curtains draped on her but she actually has an importance. Columbia is actually the female symbol of America. She was used during WW1 and used in WW2 for recruitment posters. Nice thing to know whenever you watch a movie and see the credit for it being made my Columbia Pictures

Somehow I feel like if we could interview Masie in 2023 she would say she enjoyed her life and had few regrets.
God, words cannot describe how much I LOVE traditional animation! Not to throw CG under the bus or anything, but it just does not stack up to hand-drawn, imo. That's real animation!
Why did they portray her as not doing any real work at her job?
Welp, it was a product of its time
Probably meant as a joke. I sometimes slack off whenever the boss isn't looking.
at least she's working and is not a stay at home mother
Because it was still odd to the patriachists and men with fragile egos to believe into intelligent and hard working women so they were displayed as this. Working women were still unusual in that time. If you look at other videos and advertisements you may notice they are having the same images as well.
@Zeesaialeaizmad123 I don't think that last comment was a dig at stay at home mothers. More of an observation that women of that time rarely worked outside the home. Seeing a working woman represented in the 40s was progressive for the era. The cartoonist at least doesn't have her at home, changing diapers and lighting her hubby's pipe, as though that's a woman's sole purpose.
Im going to become a hat designer, let me just finish this plate of mercury first
“And Maisy looks like...well” damn💀💀😂
Great to see they had educational cartoons meant to call out society even back then. Good job!
The first part of this animation is so unrelated to the latter.
*Maisie trying to get ready for work in just five minutes*
*Same gurl, same*
I love old cartoons! I like the scenes in the early parts. That's still exactly what most young workers do every morning. Haha!
*Pls do not Feed the hat Designers* 🤭 4:00
?
This has got to be the best humor in cartoons
I really do appreciate classic animation.
who came here cuz of instagram?
Kimberley 🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️😂😂😂
I did but I can’t find the original account who posted it :(
me 😂
Foxinsnow it’s on sarcasm_tv’s ig tv
Me.. Damn
I love how the hat Maisie bought looks nothing like the one in the picture
Good to know that the doofus notion of brushing one's teeth and then eating breakfast was common even back then.
R C Nelson -----Do you eat breakfast with your mouth dirty , full of germs and bacteria and awfully stinking right after you just woke up ? eeew! that's gross and disgusting !
@@masterofdarkness9212 what's the point of brushing and then eat? brushing after is more convenient
@@pandaexpress7673 But then you mouth is gross when you're eating. Eating with a clean mouth seems far more enjoyable.
@@Nocturne22 Not only will everything taste like toothpaste, but you'll also just make your mouth filthy again. Not that mouths are *ever* clean.
Yall are tearing eachother apart over breakfest and toothpaste
The colors, artwork and animation in this cartoon--awesome! The creativity is much better than usual. They put a lot of extra effort into this one!
とうとう私のオススメにこれが出てくるようになったか……(遠目)
Best etsy commercial I've seen.
😂
Another beautifull, richly painted, Color Rhapsody toon, and the double story structure was perfectly and seamlessly executed. Whenever I see such rich background painting it reminds me of those incredible oil paintings of Donald Duckdom by Carl Barks.
+gnikcohs Yep, Sid Marcus's cartoons have always gone for a more detailed look (for better or worst). It really feels like an animated adaption of _Saturday Evening Post_'s work. You should check out his others (_The Way of All Pests_, _The Cuckoo I.Q_, _Tangled Television_, etc.....). They're not restored like this one, but they're still gorgeous.

Even though I was born in 2000’s, I am obsessed watching 1900’s cartoons
Me to expect l was born in 2006
Anyone notice??? She is reading "Gone With The Wind" 😍
6:53 Sorry, can't talk right now. Gotta stand here and hold this damn torch above my head.
It's one those paradise about the working girl struggle , then it's about how hats are made and designer that makes them as crazy and how fashion of hats are overrated just like now
*parodies
This cartoon was 80 years ago my gosh it looks better than a lot of nowadays cartoon
2:49 - 3:39 I love how there were only around 6 or 7 vaguely normal looking hats in that entire 50 seconds
Who needs the gym after such a rigorous morning?
She's definitely earned that candy
where did you find this in such a good quality?
Ñ
Ą?
Bock Kenneth No way this is fake. Many people try to recreate old cartoons, but they lack a lot of the characteristic content of the era. Not that they aren’t good, but there is certainly a movement and style of this time, that if you look at a genuine one and a modern day recreation, you can definitely tell the difference. Not to mention those little blips and dots on the reel.
Many people might overdo on those to give an animation an ‘old time’ feel, but those don’t look intentional. They appear to be the natural product of the filming technology of that time. The color on this has most likely been digitally remastered, but that’s probably about it.
._.
Under your bed
Maisy’s relationship with food is the most relatable thing I’ve encountered today
I love how the old animation was very smooth and beautiful
Her wake routine is a mood
3:09 “Princess Eugenies’ Convertible Snood”
That could literally be anything!
Is nobody going to talk about the fact that theyre making psychiatric patients make hats
Actually they're hat makers, they just got a really bad case of mercury poisoning and other nasty chemicals.
never heard of a mad hatter? alice in wonderland?
Hat makers in the past were exposed to high levels of mercury, and it often fucks with their minds.
Mad hatter
despite the incredibly problematic nature of this film the sheer amount of original animation would never be seen today, this film would be prohibitively expensive in todays market.
That's just because they would want to do some 3d animation bullshit.
Absolutely!
What's problematic in this animation?
@@wS21z. it's expensive
@@wS21z. I think it's not the animation, but rather the sexism and the ridicule of mental illness.
Everyone judging the people who made the cartoon saying that it’s insensitive that they depict women of just being lazy and eating candy at work. You don’t know Macy’s life! Maybe she taste test candies! Or maybe she reads books for a publishing company! You don’t know Macy’s life! Don’t judge! Do you know how hard it was to make a colored cartoons back in the 1940s! It’s hard!
I'm a man and I spend my workday eating candy.
2:26 does anyone notice the book being “Departing with the breeze” 😂
I love old cartoons' they are better than today...
Accurate representation of my life in the first two minutes
I DIED at how she gets up and gets to work 😂😂🤣🤣
Omg put that scene at 2x speed
This was made in 1940, but this has this energy of some yt cartoon short from some animator with 15k-20k subs, that would randomly show up in my recommended with at least 5M views.
That's how you know the short aged like Fine Wine.
i find it wonderfully charming that the very intelligent conversations below are being ellicited by this fascinating cartoon there is hope for intelligent conversations,,,,
Honestly that whole beginning is me for anything
4:32 *I'm scared*
Artistic Fruit loops
hold it Chester hOLD IT CHEster
1:23
It takes real talent to sprint in heels.
Her lunch looked AMAZING! 😂💜💜💜
5:12 him doing that is so random
I think the cartoon not only shows the mercury problem of that time,
Also consumerism and the fact that we all practically kill ourselves to later spend the money on fashions that designers could well get out of it under the influence of a crazy person.
0:43 she wakes up from bed wearing heels?
Feel the anxiety yet?
She’s gotta be ready
cool fact: at 6:53 it shows the Columbia lady having an american flag wrapped around her. We all know her from just looking like a pretty lady with some white curtains draped on her but she actually has an importance. Columbia is actually the female symbol of America. She was used during WW1 and used in WW2 for recruitment posters. Nice thing to know whenever you watch a movie and see the credit for it being made my Columbia Pictures
Amazing animation ! They will never made something like that again unfortunately .
There needs to be a second episode that focuses on shoe designers making Jordan's or other expensive shoes that people wear to show off but the shoe makers are 50 flavors of crazy! 😂
glad to know that the average desk job hasn't changed in the better part of a century
This was posted in 2013 but appears in everyone’s feed just this year ahah
I feel disturbed, and amazed at the same time..
Wonderful.
Masie is the world’s greatest speedrunner
Who’s here in 2024?
Energetic wit & artistry ;
with a clever narration...!
