I really enjoyed this. It was bizarre and creative. Thanks so much for podting it.

This appears to be a reel with multiple Fables scrambled all over the place. "A DAY OFF," "IN THE BAG," and another late entry I haven't identified yet.

[@luizfernandocanaloficial9511]

These cartoons are "A Day Off" (1928, directed by John Foster), "In the Bag" (1928, directed by Jerry Shields) and *"A Midsummer's Day Dream" (1929, directed by Harry Bailey or Mannie Davis) .*

Also, the original moral is: “A rolling stone gathers no moss, but it gets a lot of polish.”

What comes after 6:56 is the reason to watch this.

At least they knew how to have fun.

I really like the original music I remember from when these were on TV in the early '60s. I don't like the ones with doctored music.

I remember them from the 1960-1965 period, then they got pulled off the air.
