TV, ye hath come a long wayeth.

[SuperBeanson]

wow- you scored the music on this- that's pretty damn awesome

[ftsjr]

Since I was a child, I've loved Krazy and Ignatz.

There were live orchestras accompanying the cartoons (and live action movies too) in the theaters at that time. Do we know what the original score for this cartoon was?

[JCCyC]

In a mere SIX years, this cartoon will be ONE HUNDRED YEARS old. Wow.

I think I can see a lot of what would go on to influence Dr. Seuss, especially in the elephant and Krazy's walk cycle.

[patosblancos]

This is great. I love Krazy Kat and your music goes very well with it.

[BaronRogoff1]

Great music. Has a surreal "Carnival Of Souls" flavor at times. Lots of substance. I've always enjoyed Krazy Kat.

fabulous job on the music, Mr. White.

[ropanueva]

Wow! I didn't realize this cartoon originated this far back. Thanks for sharing this. Great job!

The oldest cartoons I had seen were the Farmer Gray cartoons of the 1920's

MEANT as a COMPLIMENT! It is really great that other people are as interested in preserving the past as I am.

[joeocho88]

They are probably playing the music on one of the old organs designed especially to accompany silent films, this may even be the original score for this cartoon.

Well, I'll take that as a compliment since I wrote the music only a few months ago. Click on the info tab at the upper right.

Thanks,

Richard White

It is unlikely to be the very first, but it is certainly a very early example. Why not do a little research and let us know of your findings?

[sordrado]

was this the first animation cartoon? please answer me
