the modern "anime style" (as in post Tezuka/Mushi pro) has different origins. those pre-1960s cartoon short films like these have nothing to do with that, and the artstyle here is also pretty obviously Fleisher brothers inspired
@@cyceans Yes on the Fleisher Bros. inspired, but it’s the early trace of a new style, each animator has their own style, I would argue those pre-1960’s cartoon short films do, (as a step 1, as the west had its step 1), but you are right that it’s following the standard Cartoon plot and style which I think everyone was imitating but made their own take on animation. it wasn’t an immediate change, but it was a gradual one. As we only recently learned about early cartoons in the west I’m more convinced that there’s more history that needs to be re discovered before it is lost.
I find this very Van-Beuren-esque, like uhhh, comparable to Tom and Jerry (VB, duh.) or even Scrappy (I know that's not VB, but that's just what comes to mind.) Love the music number at the beginning.
This cartoon looks obviously like a early 30's cartoon, japanese were really late in their style in fact early 30s japanese cartoon looked like late 1910's - early 1920's cartoons...
What amazes me is that today's anime is the apex of animation worldwide, but this example displays animation that was produced in the United States during the 1920's and early '30's. Even the sound quality is bad, even though this is 1948.
The bear has the snout of a pig. I wish the songs had English subtitles, they are so beautiful.
Good humor really is timeless, case in point, laughing out loud when the boar is tickling the hero, what a cute little short :-)
「青酸カリなんか入っていないんだよ？」
The voice actors sounded like they had a lot of fun
Very cute and amusing version of Aesop's fable. Thanks much for posting this relic of Japanese animation!

3:46 - The Volga Boatmen tune
Certainly didn't expect that!
I know its a harsh scene but at 2:51, I can see faint traces of the “Anime” Style in this frame. Shows that Pre and Post war animation are related.

平和になったアニメ
Made for Daiei. That was long before it made the first Kenya Boy movie in 1954, Buruuba in 1955 and the first Gamera film in 1965.
2:18 as in real life, a frog doesn’t like to be touched by human skin.
excellent find
Made by Noburo Ofuji for Daiei.

Noburo Ofuji had little opportunity to keep up with American developments.
