I remember seeing an old cartoon like this many years. One bug was caught by another and a third had to save him. Apparantly they were bees because they had a swordfight with stingers. I don't remember if it was a Terrytoon or not but that short sticks out in my mind for some reason.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! As you know, black-and-white Terrytoons are scarce. Love Philip Scheib's music and those operatic voices.

Can you find Kiko the Kangaroo? those were one of Terry,s films also.

This was directed by Mannie Davis & George Gordon {he'd later migrate to Hollywood and join MGM's animation staff in the early '40s, and eventually become a key animator in John Sutherland's industrial animation unit by the '50s}...

Castle Films had the rights to reissue Paul Terry's "Terrytoons" for 16mm home movie use (both sound and silent versions) in the 1940's- this is an excellent example. I believe this was originally released as "The Busy Bee" (1936).

Yep! This was before the TV came along where they showed the original Terrytoons shorts for syndication purpose. All of the Terrytoons TV titles were slightly altered with just the titles and copyright without the original credits and end titles. Castle Films did had the rights to produced the Terrytoons for home purpose long before TV. The TV Terrytoons titles were made by CBS-TV.

That spider would creep anybody out, but...

that makes it way more satisfying for the

viewer when the spider 'gets his' in the

final scene!

I used to have another one of these cartoons on video and the spider really creeped me out.
