Omg these sounds effects are so ridiculous.

"GULP".

And I swear that door sound is the A.I.M. sign-on noise haha.

[pbuotte]

[szczepannn123]

lol @ 5:03 (check that sound) :D

[JakSkellington58]

ugh, thos sound effects ruined it for me, i like the origional version better, especially the handcolored print, which is amazing.

[TheHappyShow]

Where can I find the handcolored print? Is it on the Internet?

-- Matt

[Thedivinewoman]

Wonderful, great job.  An added bonus was being able to see John Bunny as well, thank you so much!

[TheHappyShow]

That was John Bunny, wasn't it? I missed that, myself! Thank you for watching and the kind comment! -- Matt

[akimbonorman]

[gizaclue]

[TheHappyShow]

LOL! Thanks, Jamie! -- Matt

[Camlore]

I absolutly loved this Matt!!

Winsor McCay seemed to be a genius at drawing.

They did need some oil on that door though. ahahahah

Dianne

[TheHappyShow]

LOL! That was because oil was invented. ;-) Heh. Thanks, Dianne! -- Matt

[zookiemommy]

Wow! That was awesome. I love silent movies, but I also like the sound effects you put in. The animation was awesome. It looks like the way we made our animated cartoon in cartooning class in high school. A still camera taking pictures of each frame. Our cartoons were NOT this good. :)

[TheHappyShow]

What;s really cool for me is seeing the old machines and such, too. Winsor McCay was a fanatstic artist and a visionary. Anyone into animation owes a debt to his genius, as he started it all, pretty much. -- Matt

[curt344]

Unearthing the hidden treasures - FUN!

[TheHappyShow]

Thanks, Curt! One thing I like to do on the televised version (i.e., "full" episodes) of "The Happy Show!" is to present cool, rare, older film shorts (public domain, natch) to an audience that may not have been exposed to such films before. -- Matt

[sirnubenegra]

wow. very three d. and no computers. that guy was tallented and patient. i need to get back to work... i am inspired!

[TheHappyShow]

The early animators were true, skilled artists. Winsor McCay was a true genius and visionary. He is the man that started animated films in America. -- Matt

[dabiribd]

Matt, Thanks a lot buddy. You're AWESOME

Your fan, Ben

[TheHappyShow]

Thank you, Ben! I'm glad you enjoyed it! -- Matt

[whatsnext]

Matt that was great! I especially liked all the different 'laughs'... And wow 100 videos!

[TheHappyShow]

Thanks for the kind comments! I hadn't realized that I hit 100! Yay! -- Matt

[Magnulus]

Pretty awesome. Thanks for putting that up, Matt! (would have liked it without the sound effects, though, in the interest of a purer representation.)

[TheHappyShow]

Hi Magnulus! I approach this from the angle of someone that wants new generations to watch the film without prejudice. Unfortunately, most people won't tolerate a true silent film anymore. If I were coming at this from a more scholarly position, I would certainly try to keep it as authentic as possible. Thanks for commenting! -- Matt

[Buliwif32]

That was some seriously decent animation! Hard to believe that one of the earliest attempts was better than alot of the animation around today! Great vid!

[TheHappyShow]

Winsor McCay was a genius and a FANTASTIC artist! He basically created animation in film. If you get the chance, you should hunt down the "Little Nemo in Slumberland" coolections. They are awesome! Thanks! -- Matt
