A more modern version of this cartoon would include having to wear helmets, pads, gloves, mouthpieces, and other protective equipment when playing more physical activities such as football, hockey, skateboarding, dirtbiking, etc.
A song verse would probably go:
"Any fool does not wear pads and joins the game just plain,
But soon as he makes contact he is in a world of pain."
Ah, the miracle we call YouTube...I was just scrolling through some political news, and for some strange reason I was seized by a sudden craving to see Jiminy Cricket in "I'm No Fool". :-D
Thanks, mikedeisenberg, for posting this blast from the past!
i used to watch this on the reel to reel projection in elementary school, along with charlott's web, rikki tiki tavy, the golden seal, velveteen rabbit, etc. thanks for posting! now on to johnny appleseed and ichabod crane and the headless horseman!
@kerryincolumbus I went to elementary school in Orange County California and also a little bit in central ohio. all the films i saw were in orange county ca.
Wow live musicians (big band) doing the background music....orchestrations, conductor most likely...and this is only a short cartoon...wow those were the days.
My dad and I would go to the San Antonio downtown library and rent cartoons to show in our back yard on Saturday nights using my dads 16mm sound projector back in the late 1960's. This cartoon brought back great childhood memories for me. Thank you so much for posting this.
Wow...Do I remember this! When I was in the 3rd grade in the 60's during school Assembly Day...White Blouses, White Shirts, Dark Skirts, Dark Pants. The Pledge of Allegence and "I'm No Fool" with JIminy Cricket. And Public Service TV Commercial Jingles...Like: "Don't Cross the Street in the Middle of the Block".
First, you stop, then you look Then you listen hard You can make just any street As safe as your backyard Stop, look and listen Your eyes will tell your feet When you can safely Walk across the street First, you stop, then you look Then you listen hard You can make just any street As safe as your backyard Stop, look and listen!
WOW! I haven't seen this since my 2nd grade class assembly when I was 7! I'm 50 now! Thanks for posting this! Funny how I've remembered ever word of this song all my life even though I've only seen this once as a kid! But rewatching it now confirms I remembered correctly!
I didn't go to Lincoln Elementary school but we, also,watched these at my elementary school back in the 70's. Great memories, yes!! Too bad this great stuff isn't around schools anymore....at least that I know of, they're not. :(
I have been looking for these films for years. Thanks youtube! The memories of watching these in the cafeteria at Lincoln Elementary school in Escondido, Ca. are so clear to me. I wanted to share them with my Grandson. They just do not make them like this now. Anyone else out there go to Lincoln?
I watched this in 1965 or so in Manoa elementary school in Hawaii, in 3rd grade. It was a big deal to go to the audio visual room to see a movie. 3 or 4 other classes would share the viewing.
What a joy! This was a trip down memory lane for me. When I was a girl (many years ago) my grade school classmates and I were treated to this reel-to-reel movie each year. The opening music gave me goosebumps then -- and I just got them again 8 minutes ago! Thank you. Thank you, so much. -- Jenny
I used to love when the teacher would show these in class. Sure beat math...Ah the memories.
