I'm just glad to see I'm not the only one remembers this. Just show to your kids a few times to creep em out for life. Great way to build lasting memories...
omg one of the scariest cartoons when you are a kid.... especially when he is almost to the sun and the wall he is standing on his swaying dangerously
I'm 28 and must have been six when I saw this last. I remember every scene like yesterday, even though literally yesterday I couldn't have remembered a single thing to save my life. Strange how much we only assume we forgot. Thanks for the jog!
WOW.I loved this cartoon!cant believe i found it!i watched it when i was like 8 or 9!As i got older,i remember id always say to my brother,theres gold in the sun!I saw it there!!!!lol.i gotta show this to him!I wonder if i can find the woman in the shoe!!lol
I just watched Ricky Gervais's stand up where he talks about Humpty Dumpty. It instantly reminded me of this video. I could only remember a few parts of it until I found it here on YouTube. I LOVE YouTube! And I love the person that posted this! Absolutely brilliant! On a side note...what's the history behind Humpty Dumpty? I agree he SHOULD be an egg....but at what point in the nursery rhyme does it say he's an egg? Anyway...amazing. Made my night.

Oh my goodness, me too! My sister and I have been trying to remember this cartoon and track it down for years. I love watching it again. It's kind of creepy. Even the slightest details are bringing back memories. My favorite part was the pelican spreading gold mortar with its beak.
I would give anything to find my VHS copy of this! My only concern is that my VCR ate it years ago...I can't imagine my family getting rid of this video for any other reason. I'm going to start using the "higher, higher more bricks" line. I love that there are so many others that remember this!
OMG i've been searching for this cartoon for soo many years! I just couldn't ever remember the name. This was my favorite as a child! Thank you soo much for posting it! i has the VHS i think it was by kid cartoon or something?
If all the villagers still loved and cared for Humpty Dumpty by trying to put him back together even though he was greedy, in my opinion, the villagers should have quickly either tried to catch him or they should have quickly ran to try to get something soft for Humpty Dumpty to fall on so he wouldn't break. (I'm sure they had a huge amount of time to do either one of these things because his castle is very high and he was even up higher than his castle up in the sky with the sun).
I was just giving my opinion. A lot of people have given their own opinion on YouTube skits, especially Sesame Street YouTube skits whether the skit is a cartoon, comedy, or any other reason. People have always given their opinion on a certain scene or spot on whatever they saw or heard and how they felt.
fair enough. I didn't really mean to criticize your opinion, I was just a little surprised at the time of what I read. And I agree, why didn't they use objects to help him break his fall?
That's okay. Maybe the reason the villagers didn't get anything soft to prevent him from breaking was because, they couldn't find anything soft (they could have quickly got a bed mattress from their houses for him to land on but, maybe their bed mattresses were heavy for them to try to carry). Also, maybe they tried to catch him but, since he was with the sun and falling directly below the sun, the sun was probably blinding the villagers eyes that they didn't know where he was falling from.
considering how far he fell, I doubt anything the villagers did would really help cushion the landing. I also wonder how much they really wanted to help, what with Humpty's tyrannical ways.
That's also true. Probably if the villagers got anything soft for Humpty to land on, and if he landed on it, maybe he would have broke with the impact when he landed fast and hard. Or maybe they could have tried catching him as long as he didn't break with the impact from landing in their hands. Even though he was greedy to all the villagers, somehow all the villagers must have felt in their hearts that they love and care for him which is why they tried putting him back together.
Yes I'm sure he would have broke in their hands from the impact when he landed since peoples hands have hard and strong bones. (His body must been weak compared to bones). I wonder if the villagers held out a very big blanket, a tablecloth, etc. (almost like holding out a trampoline) and if he landed on it, I wonder if he would still break from the impact or it would prevent him from breaking, or he would land breaking a hole through the blanket, cloth, etc. and hit the ground and break.
I'm thinking of Cartoon Physics, he'd probably tear right thru the blanket, leaving a Humpty-shaped hole, resulting in the same sad shattering as before.
That probably would have happened. The reason I thought a blanket, cloth, etc. would work was because, on one cartoon called "Humpty Dumpty And Friends" Humpty Dumpty fell off a wall or some high ledge and his mom caught him at 1:14 in her apron she was wearing and he didn't tear through the apron.
But then, this Humpty needed to learn a lesson; I fear any real attempt to save him would have the same tragic results. Cartoon Logic is pretty firm on this.
I agree that this Humpty needed to learn a lesson. Probably with this Humpty breaking whether the villagers caught him, made him land on something soft, or just let him hit the hard ground and break (which happened to him) was probably a punishment from God just for being greedy to the villagers and for stealing a lot of gold. (I know it was never seen or known if he stole any of the gold in his castle but, I have a feeling that he did steal all that gold somewhere since he is very greedy).
Well, he did say his wall was built of gold (looks of gold-based bricks anyway), and look at his desire for the sun's gold combined with his whipping the fairy-tale people; all bespeaks a very selfish fellow indeed.
Few the cartoons that don't receive a strict lesson in overstepping karma.
I like to think this is a cartoon saying God does has a serious sense of humor.
That's true that he said that his wall was gold bricks. He also said from 0:45-0:47 that he built the gold wall. (I might be wrong but, my guess is that he stole those gold bricks somewhere and then he used those gold bricks to make a wall. He probably didn't find the gold brick wall with a castle on top and decided to live there). He must have also built his castle with those stolen gold bricks since his castle looks gold at 6:55 before it broke in pieces.
me too! lol there were more of these like the old lady in the shoe, and mary had a little lamb and stuff! Aw man, me, my brothers and my sister used to watch this like almost everyday!! LOL
I loved the old lady in the shoe and Small Fry :) But there was one I remember about an anteater trying to eat the ants, but the ants fought back. I can't remember the name though :(
I was so scared of this when I was a kid...particularly when the sun spanked him and his facial expressions when he is about to fall in the end. I don't understand how any kid could NOT be even a bit frightened by this.
@StrawberryFieldsFrvr If this scared you, I shudder to think what more disturbing old cartoons like Bold King Cole, Pluto's Judgement Day, and Micky Mouse and the Mad Doctor would have done to you as a kid!
@StrawberryFieldsFrvr If this scared you, I shudder to think what more disturbing old cartoons like Bold King Cole, Pluto's Judgement Day, and Micky Mouse and the Mad Doctor would have done to you as a kid!
@StrawberryFieldsFrvr Noted, and yeah, I also thought the Fleischer cartoons were a bit creepy. But this was a funny but serious cautionary tale about messing with nature out of greed.
i remember being scared of this cartoon when I was little. I guess it's cause Humpy Dumpty here isn't just greedy but evil and flat-out sadistic. There's something kind of creepy about him and this whole cartoon.
My favorite bit is at 7:02, when Humpty grabs a brick, sighs in relief, then realizes he still's several thousand feet up in the air., and groans "Phooey!" Uh-oh!
Does anybody know if I could get these cartoon on DVD? Im only 17 and remember these wonderful cartoons. This is apart of my young I would love to have acess to all the time.
It was called "Robin Hood: and friends" this cartoon used to scare me and it still does. It featured Robin Hood first, humpty dumpty, frlix the cat ect. (i never watched the robin hood story. too obsessed with this.)
I used to have a VHS that had this cartoon, Simple Simon, some other cartoon about a fish, and possibly more that I can't remember... Did any of you guys have this tape?
I first saw this when I was 6 when my former 1st grade teachers invited me and my class at that time to watch these old cartoons. This one was completely stuck in my mind for 22 years!!! LOL I remember the ending and Humpty getting his spanking very well. LOL He pretty much got what he deserved. ROTFLMFAO I LOVE IT!!! Bless You for this.
Around 2:09 when the coins he stacked fell down, just a foreshadowing of what was going to happen to that fool. I noticed that until now. This used to be one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid until I lost the tape.
Ha, ha! So true. And they already made a movie about social workers (except they had to pretend it was puppies and not children the villian was after) - 101 Dalmations (Remember Cruella DeVil???) Remember also, how all the dogs band together and employ underground networks to save the babies!
I saw this very cartoon a bunch of years ago on the Arts Network, and I always remembered it as a fine cartoon, but also a good cautionary tale about not being stupid and greedy. Well, fast forward to the present, and the current Sub-prime economic crisis going on, and lo and behold I just saw this cartoon again, on the Arts Network, last night. Hmmm, timely, huh?? Thanks for posting this clip - I love the cartoon humor of it, but also think it tells an important message about greed.
It was kind of nice in some ways that even though Humpty Dumpty was greedy to everyone, all the villagers were very nice to try to put him back together as soon as he broke into a lot of pieces from falling from a very high wall. Also, since he was broken and gone, all the villagers probably got to share and keep all the gold he kept in his castle.
As soon as Humpty Dumpty climbed to the top of the brick stairs up to the sun thinking there was gold in the sun, he should've brought along a big bag with him so that as soon as he chopped a hole in the sun, he would've been able to catch all the gold falling out to go in his bag (that is, if he really thought that there was gold in the sun).
I remember seeing this cartoon when I was very young. I always thought it looked funny from 0:35-0:38 how Humpty Dumpty's mouth was going in circles as soon as he took a bite out of the chicken and chewed on it.
My brother just came over and said "hey do you remember this creepy ass cartoon about humpty dumpty from a when we was little?" and here I am. This cartoon is still very creepy.
I was SO TERRIFIED of this when I was little! Humpty's laugh was just creepy! And when he runs sideways up the stairs with his devilish giggle, it frightens me. But still, however, I really wanted him to get that gold in the sun!
I also thought it was creepy hearing Humpty's laugh and seeing him run up the brick stairs sideways with a scary giggle. (It was funny that as I watch this cartoon seeing the villagers building the brick wall, all it looked like they were just piling a brick wall one on top of the other but, I'm not sure where those brick stairs came from that Humpty was climbing up). Humpty must love gold so much that he had to imagine that there was gold in the sun.
Whoa I can't believe I found this! I remember seeing this on one of those old VHS tapes you buy in the discount bin with like 50 cartoons on one tape. This one I remembered most. It was pretty morbid for a children's cartoon. Great stuff and the animation is really unique, they made gold look really tempting.
the true story of how Humpty Dumpty had his great fall, brilliantly done by the Fleischer brothers and their group behind the famous Betty Boop and Popeye cartoons.
Aha!!! Power electronics/noise band Vomit Orchestra used this as a sample in Dance Ov The Sugardrugged Faery along with Eraserhead. Finally, I've remembered what it's from. Who would've guessed childhood cartoons would shed light on suicidal noise?
Pretty silly, and a nice lesson on greed. Now we finally know how Humpty REALLY fell off that wall! There's a cute bit at 7:02 where he grabs the brick, at and thinks he's safe, then realizes he's still several thousand feet up in the air.

Ha, ha! So true. And they already made a movie about social workers (except they had to pretend it was puppies and not children the villian was after) - 101 Dalmations (Remember Cruella DeVil???) Remember also, how all the dogs band together and employ underground networks to save the babies!

I saw this very cartoon a bunch of years ago on the Arts Network, and I always remembered it as a fine cartoon, but also a good cautionary tale about not being stupid and greedy. Well, fast forward to the present, and the current Sub-prime economic crisis going on, and lo and behold I just saw this cartoon again, on the Arts Network, last night. Hmmm, timely, huh?? Thanks for posting this clip - I love the cartoon humor of it, but also think it tells an important message about greed.

They don't make cartoons like this anymore.

It was kind of nice in some ways that even though Humpty Dumpty was greedy to everyone, all the villagers were very nice to try to put him back together as soon as he broke into a lot of pieces from falling from a very high wall. Also, since he was broken and gone, all the villagers probably got to share and keep all the gold he kept in his castle.

As soon as Humpty Dumpty climbed to the top of the brick stairs up to the sun thinking there was gold in the sun, he should've brought along a big bag with him so that as soon as he chopped a hole in the sun, he would've been able to catch all the gold falling out to go in his bag (that is, if he really thought that there was gold in the sun).

Of course, considering the result, it still would not have done him any good.

I remember seeing this cartoon when I was very young. I always thought it looked funny from 0:35-0:38 how Humpty Dumpty's mouth was going in circles as soon as he took a bite out of the chicken and chewed on it.

I was SO TERRIFIED of this when I was little! Humpty's laugh was just creepy! And when he runs sideways up the stairs with his devilish giggle, it frightens me. But still, however, I really wanted him to get that gold in the sun!
helenkeller93083 3 years ago
I also thought it was creepy hearing Humpty's laugh and seeing him run up the brick stairs sideways with a scary giggle. (It was funny that as I watch this cartoon seeing the villagers building the brick wall, all it looked like they were just piling a brick wall one on top of the other but, I'm not sure where those brick stairs came from that Humpty was climbing up). Humpty must love gold so much that he had to imagine that there was gold in the sun.

Does this remind anyone else of Bender from Futurama?

This is such a classic cartoon. Pity it hasn't the original logo and credits. Do you know what film company released this cartoon back in 1936?
headphone355 3 years ago
headphone355, it was released in 1936 by Paramount Pictures.

Oh my lord! I was looking everywhere for this, I'm so glad I finally found it!
sleepykoko 3 years ago 2
Whoa I can't believe I found this! I remember seeing this on one of those old VHS tapes you buy in the discount bin with like 50 cartoons on one tape. This one I remembered most. It was pretty morbid for a children's cartoon. Great stuff and the animation is really unique, they made gold look really tempting.

This cartoon really stands out in my childhood memories. I almost felt sorry for humpty in a way. My brother and I watched it over and over

the true story of how Humpty Dumpty had his great fall, brilliantly done by the Fleischer brothers and their group behind the famous Betty Boop and Popeye cartoons.

Aha!!! Power electronics/noise band Vomit Orchestra used this as a sample in Dance Ov The Sugardrugged Faery along with Eraserhead. Finally, I've remembered what it's from. Who would've guessed childhood cartoons would shed light on suicidal noise?

Pretty silly, and a nice lesson on greed. Now we finally know how Humpty REALLY fell off that wall! There's a cute bit at 7:02 where he grabs the brick, at and thinks he's safe, then realizes he's still several thousand feet up in the air.
