Ok I will admit I was really impressed by the stair animation when he walks up and down those stairs, I wonder how they got such a fluid motion while maintaining a stable perspective with technology back then, it looks almost 3D

this cartoon is kinda better than oswald and mickey

[Tyraniczny616]

These old cartoons are much funnier than the new ones.

[TheBookWorm1718]

@Tyraniczny616 Amen to that, and look how clear the picture is for 1930 and the animation for it is spectacular.

My dad has a story where he is scandalized by this cartoon ("damn!")

[Kartoonkid95]

I guess the Cuckoo's time has come.

I've watched this cartoon 20 years ago the first time. It was really late at night on the third Rai channel in Italy.

It's absolutely amazing! Imagination goes a long way!

Love the personification of a car.

[infrogmation]

One of the best Flip cartoons, I think. I love the persona of Flip's automobile. And the telephone shows Clark Gable wasn't the first to say "damn" on film-- but this cartoon was before pre Hayes Code.

[Kuhneghetz]

What the? Did the phone say "damn" in 2:04? XD

[deadlyshoesalesman]

Love how that cuckoo clock makes a telephone call. I guess the number of calls it can make in its life is limited.
