These Cartoon Features are as Refreshing, as they are Old. Silent features, with a Classical Musical Background; Very Refreshing! As a child I experienced these Farmer Gray features on an isolated station, and I became addicted to them...
I remember cartoons on a 50's Show called "Junior Frolics'" hosted by a guy called "Uncle Fred" on Channel 13, I was at the place where it was broadcast in Newark NJ. Good guys & bad guys would fight. Good guys said, "I wanna be happy; bad guys said, "I wanna be bad" then the good guy would hit them with a bottle of milk & the bad guys Said "I wanna be Happy" & they would sing a song "Sunshine, Sunshine" My wife remembers it too. I know this is nuts, but does anyone else recall that show & is there any video or film of it or cartoons like that.
The Cartoon Network screen bug and the description saying "Japanese subtitles" prove that Paul Terry's silent cartoons are aired on Cartoon Network Japan.
to arron mota, it was origanally reaseased in the 1920s-1930s. it was run in tv on wnta (now wnet pbs) in the 1950s. abc took over when wnta shut down around 1960 2 years later it went non commercial educational (net pbs)
No BCDB entry pinpointing the year (thank you Commonwealth retitles!), so I'm going to guess this is directed by Paul Terry, either before or after the reorganization of the studio in late 1925. The assortment of all of the five key animators in this cartoon are a feature of Terry's directorial efforts at Fables.
At the very beginning, there is a fanfare before the credit music. The credit music is called "Komic Kapers". What is the fanfare called? The fanfare is clipped on many of these Commonwealth Farmer Grays, thanks for posting what sounds like a complete one.
I noticed that, too. My source for this cartoon came like that. It was broadcast on Cartoon Network Japan's Black & White Overnight block. It almost sounds like it was film-chained at 18 fps instead of 24 fps. But, that's only a guess on m y part!

Haven't seen these since I was 5.
Good cartoon 💖
Thanks! Feel free to nose around here... there are plenty of these kinds of cartoons on my channel. Subscribe if you like what you see..?
The original title is indeed "The Hero Wins."
I. Did. Not. Know. That. Thanks!
Got any more? My favorite are the Commonweath versions with the music.
I'd have to check. It's been a while since I've uploaded any cartoons. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

The original title is probably "The Hero Wins," although I do not have a copyright synopsis to assure this.
Nice
Can someone send me a link to a video containing the history of Van Buren studio's
can somebody please tell me when the cartoon was made?

Huh. I have no idea, HooDat. Maybe a passing cartoon music expert will see this?
Same music as other Commonwealth farmer Grays, but slower. Did it come like this, or fault in uploading?

I just noticed you can correct the speed in the "settings" menu. Click on the gear and choose 1.25 for the speed. That'll fix 'er up good.
But fish can't read!
Then why do they spend all their time in schools?
Ha!
That's why fish is good for the brain
