Kiedyś to były bajki...

[newb0rn11]

Man this brings back memories...

[ashbudgie1]

I own the VHS. It's called Kids Great Kids from United American Video Corp and has Mighty Mouse on the cover. The cartoons in it are Wolf Wolf, Leprechaun's Gold, Stupidstitious Cat, and Bimbo's Auto.

That evil landlord looks like Count Dracula with his sharp teeth.

[67nairb]

This is rather long for a theatrical cartoon. Most cartoons don't last more than seven minutes.

[67nairb]

Those wee folk certainly don't look leprachauns. They're not wearing green.

[67nairb]

@67nairb They look more like gnomes than leprachauns.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, 2011!

the poor moon, does he say he's not long for this world?

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

2:22 the original grillz.

Nice to see the writers knew some things about Irish folklore.

It happens in a hundred stories - the gold turns into leaves, rocks, ginger cakes or horse dung, but bees - that's a new one to me.

[jbrooksby]

The Leprechaun was going to steal potatoes from the poor family?

[JustMeMarissa]

@jbrooksby No the Leprechaun wasn't stealing from the poor family. In old Ireland, there was a tradition of leaving treats such as milk, cream, or small snacks outside the front door for the Little People (brownies, leprechauns,other faeries,etc.). This tradition was to bring fortune to the household and make peace with the faerie folk.

[robertwc82]

@jbrooksby no, what would give you tht idea? when you leave money out for the milk-man, and he takes it, that is theft too is it?

[hendrixzilla]

mmmmm.......donuts!

[kupawful]

it very good thanks for put your video

[NewAndImprovedToons]

this is one of the few Noveltoons to have similar production values to and a plot reminiscent of the Color Classics series, a predecessor to the Noveltoons series produced by Fleischer Studios

[oldskoolradio]

Awesome! I had this on VHS when I was little and have been looking for it forever.

[luvme7754]

same!! i had a vhs with all these cartoons on and i've been trying to remember them for ages ... maybe we had the same video? i remember something about puppies around a christmas tree too ...

[TheMarioluigifans]

@luvme7754 are you talking about "hector's hectic life"?

[buddinplant]

@luvme7754 pretty sure myself and the sisters watched same vhs, probably ti; we broke it :)

[ashbudgie1]

@luvme7754 I own the VHS. It's called Kids Great Kids from United American Video Corp and has Mighty Mouse on the cover. The cartoons in it are Wolf Wolf, Leprechaun's Gold, Stupidstitious Cat, and Bimbo's Auto.

[2ndbattccoy]

me too! It brings back the old childhood memories.

[diddymuck]

that not long for this world remark came from the Fred Allen radio show.

[AliRod9]

what the fuck?

[Charyl2215]

thank you soooo much I have looking for this for years!!!!

[BoneThugsandAKon]

man I REMEMBER THIs!

[TollundManJr]

I thank thee, Kindly...

[TollundManJr]

The gold is fake, only getting drunk is real..

[TollundManJr]

That we are, mate, that we are... ;p

[therightperspective]

nice cartoon thanks for posting!

[tlkSmack1]

Over here that's a "pot" not a "crock". Big difference since "a crock" is slang for a load of BS. The only two two Irishman I know a great deal about are James Joyce and Daniel O'connel, both believed in NOT speaking Irish since it's utterly useless - useless in their day much less ours.

I know quite a bit about Irish history, although I have to say that the best thing about it is that leaving Ireland apparently takes the 'Irish' out of the Irishman - witness America and Australia.

[tlkSmack1]

Oh and nice going placing that pic of Gerry Adams on your channel. Last I saw him he was carrying the coffin of some clown who murdered a young girl. Anyone who today ascribes to IRA ideology is a "tit" himself. You're not oppressed dude, stop acting like you have a greivance.

Mind you the scottish identity freaks aren't much better. As if "Braveheart" actually portrayed the real William Wallace much less the real political and cultural events of the day. I'm part scottish too.

[TollundManJr]

Irish women are hot. Irish men are drunks. The Irish are worse then Poles. They bred like rabbits amd move all over the world. I always hated when I went to Boston and there was a girl behind the counter at Hertz that couldn't speak proper English.

Hey, The Scots buggerd the English language, but the Irish killed it stone dead.

Go back to the Emerald Isle and take money from the EU, and let lots of Negros into the country...

Have a nice day!

[tlkSmack1]

You spelled misspelled negroes, ie., "negros" I always wondered why the dumped on Dan Quayle for that "Potatoe" incident.

Also when the antecedant is a person we use the relative clause determiner "who" instead of "that". Although I suppose one could argue when speaking of the Irish "that" would in fact be appropriate. I think people take these ethnicity things too serious. Have you heard the joke: What's the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral?

[TollundManJr]

Smack,

You are a pedantic Irish nerd.

"I always wondered why The(y) dumped on Dan Quayle for that 'Potatoe' incident."

Dan Quayle was as worthless as Sarah Palin and 'you' missed spelled a word.

But what really bothers me is that we have to look at Arab people in the Gaza strip because of you poor, worthless, ungrateful, descendents of the holocaust...

Stop it with your fake, English-teacher-learn how-to-spell comments and enjoy the cartoon.

Smack, take time for livin' you nerd........

[tlkSmack1]

"you missed spelled a word"

1. 'They' in my sentence was located at the edge of the input box, thereby harder to catch the "error".

2. Nobody misspells "they"; 'they' only fail to hit the "y" then do not notice it.

3. The "y" key on my keyboard is funky and often sticks.

When one fails to generalize common patterns in spelling, symbol processing, deductive logic and reasoning, then an error is because of low IQ. "Negros" is in fact an Island as well as a misspelling :) DICK

[TollundManJr]

Ireland, the land of legends, the crock of gold...

Smack, you are delusionl....

[tlkSmack1]

According to legend the Norse occupied large swaths of Northern Ireland and Scotland until the Irish kings rose up and drove them out. But recent DNA evidence suggests the Norse just kind of melded in to the local population, their political and military leaders, however, were dispatched or eliminated.

As it turns out the great Scottish hero, Somerled Gilbride, was actually a viking who, for whatever reason, adopted Scottish culture, identity and language, then led the scots to "freedom".

[TheCheezWizz]

maybe you should notice your own mistakes before being a gigantic asshole.

[tlkSmack1]

The Irish are the filth of the planet.

Just kidding. I'm part Irish. I think people take these things too seriously, so some self-deprication is actually a positive. But seriously, I was pained to see the Thomas Cahill book "How the Irish Saved Civilization" positively reviewed on the CoredeliaForLear blog. The Irish, as maybe the only 'oppressed' white people, occupy an exagerated position in leftist theology that tends to provoke absurd histories such as Cahill's.

[TollundManJr]

Any nation that produce the likes of George Bernad Shaw and John Huston can't be that bad. I'm not convinced about the Kennedy's though.

You got to love those mischevious leprachans though.

Hey Smack, did I ever tell you what a genious you are?

Genious, hahahahahaha

[67nairb]

@tlkSmack1 I have that same book at home. You scared me a little bit with your first sentence about the Irish being the filth of the planet.

[CJmonkee]

lol! ihaven't seen this since I was 7!!!! nice.

[fromthesidelines]

Originally released in October 1949, and directed by Bill Tytla. The moon's remark, coughing and moaning "I'm not long for this world!", is a reference to the catchphrase Peter Donald often delivered as "Ajax Cassidy" {in "Allen's Alley"} on Fred Allen's radio show...the little girl bears more than a slight resemblance to "Little Audrey" because the animators were also working on her "Noveltoons" at the same time (especially Steve Muffati, who also drew Audrey's comic book stories at the time).

[Steffy1357]

I love it

[robertwmartens]

Very curious cartoon. It's exceptionally long (most cartoons wree 8 minutes or less) - the girl looks like Little Audrey, the mother looks like Saint Mary! - The two gags where the fireflies become the full moon and the coins change into bees were really imaginative! Famous Studios occasionally came up with a good one and this was one of them.

[villeppi]

You totally rule!
