## Description

Disney may have "started with a Mouse"--but the first great cartoon studio started with a dachshund! Max Fleischer, Walter Lantz, and Paul Terry all launched their careers at the silent animation house of John Randolph Bray--and now you can meet the animated heroes who were born at Bray's barn: Koko the Clown, Col. Heeza Liar, Krazy Kat, and the sausage-gobbling sausage-dog of J. R.'s famous first film, THE ARTIST'S DREAM! Films include:THE ARTIST'S DREAM (Bray, 1913)COL. HEEZA LIAR'S AFRICAN HUNT (Bray, 1914)DIPLODOCUS (Bray, 1915)FARMER ALFALFA SEES NEW YORK (Terry, 1916)THE POLICE DOG ON THE WIRE (Carl Anderson, 1916)BOBBY BUMPS' PUP GETS THE FLEA-ENZA (Earl Hurd, 1919)Krazy Kat: THE BEST MOUSE LOSES (Vernon Stallings, 1920) Jerry on the Job: TALE OF A WAG (1920) Judge Rummy: A FITTING GIFT (1920) Dinky Doodle: THE PIED PIPER (Lantz, 1924) Pete the Pup: THE LUNCH HOUND (Lantz, 1927) Koko the Clown: TANTALIZING FLY (Fleischer, 1919)HOW ANIMATED CARTOONS ARE MADE (Wallace Carlson, 1919)CHEMICAL INSPIRATION (1920)THE POINT OF VIEW (ca. 1921)Extras! Booklet, extensive mini-documentaries, archival galleries, and music by noted talents Robert Israel and Charlie Judkins Featuring Films from the Stathes CollectionCo-Produced by Thunderbean Animation

Review: See the best quality for these 100 year old cartoons in this awesome release. - I just got done binge watching this Blu -Ray, and wow, it is a must for collectors or even for someone who wants to watch these older cartoons. The quality of these film shorts range from good to great. These cartoons are very simple and I dare say primitive compared to later cartoons such as Looney Tunes. This is understandable, because some of them are over a 100 years old! You can see experimentation by Bray Studios, with mixing live action and cartoon effects. I have not read the booklet that comes with the Discs, but I do like the soundtracks for these silent films. These simple piano (or other instruments and sounds) tracks follow queues in the animation to express movement or action. If you are not into this sort of music, you can always put on your own music, as there is no audible dialog for most of these cartoons. Overall, I have to give it up for Tommy Stathes and Thunderbean for all the effort they put into this release.
Review: Fascinating piece of animation history! - I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining and educational Blu Ray/DVD combo about the early years of cartoon animation. Bray Studios was very successful long before Loony Tunes or even Disney got into the cartoon business, and if these cartoons appear crude to 21st century eyes just imagine how amazing they would have appeared to viewers when they originally came out, some more than 100 years ago! Cartoons on Film is to be applauded for making these pieces of history available to the general public. It's always enlightening to see history that is not only educational, but entertaining as well. Period music is provided for the cartoons, which look amazing given their age. I hope Cartoons on Film continues to release such valuable and enjoyable pieces of animation's past.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent buy for fans of animation history
*by F***N on January 7, 2018*

This blu-ray/dvd is a marvellous way to get an impression of the work of JR Bray and his animation studio. Bray, who introduced the studio system in animation, may be mostly forgotten now as far as the general public is concerned, but at the time his fame extended even to Japan, with several articles in Japanese journals in 1916/7 praising his work. Tommy Stathes, Thunderbean and the authors of the booklet do a great job in restoring Bray's claim as one of the most important pioneers of animation.
