This is one of my earliest childhood memories, but I had no idea they were only 4 minutes long! My attention span must have been really short back then! Thanks so much for posting these, candolex.
I first watched the 1949 version of"Crusader Rabbit"on"The Johnny Andrews Show"with singer/musician and storyteller:Johnny Andrews and The Paul Ashley Puppets on WOR TV Ch.9 in NYC weekday mornings in 1962.
Jay Ward, and his partner Alex Anderson, had a VERY limited budget to create and animate this series, 'mystery'. This 20 part story was produced in a converted garage apartment in Berkley, California in August and September of 1949 (but not seen nationally until the summer of 1950). What they lacked in animation, they had in scripts and vocal talent.

This is really really brilliant. There's virtually no animation in this cartoon at all. As a limited animation fanatic I'm in awe
