Yelp Wanted (First Scrappy) 1931 Columbia Cartoon

[Eurodance90schick]

wow this is cool for a very old cartoon.

[TPMSTGKDMGOA]

Wow, I cannot describe the amount of laughter I emitted when I saw the cars being sneaked down the manhole. Funny stuff!

[sabymoon]

I remember a Scrappy cartoon where they go off on a spaceship..?

[peterhuemer]

Thanks for posting this! My Grandfather was Dick Huemer (which he spelled Heumor), the creator of the Scrappy character. It's great to see this online!

Who is Oopie???

Wow, this is pretty fast cutting for 1931, at least based on what I've seen from that period. I didn't think anyone was doing stuff this fast then. It's not Tex Avery or anything, but it's still pretty brisk.

I wonder if Scrappy Doo from Scooby Doo was named after this? I NEVER SAW THIS SHOW. I WAS BORN IN 1981

[SycrosD4]

I really like Scrappy's character.

2.54-some guy is beating up a woman 0_o

[bigg3469]

Yeah but you don't know IF it is a "guy" OR A GIRL. The scene only shows 2 fist are flying toward the woman's face while @ 2:58 a gang of thugs beats a drunk so bad that he merges as a skeleton @ 3:02 & the thugs arms were more musclar than the two arms attatched to the fists pounding the woman.

[foamy2345]

yeah,i guess youre right,my bad

[bigg3469]

No problem!

[sclogse1]

@bigg3469

Gotta remember the definition of "scrappy". THe little guy who wins over the bigger guys because he's got the will. Because he's scrappy.

[FBUESO]

My dad talks about watchng this in his childhood... he's 59 Y.O.

[ErisFae]

Wow. Cartoons have certainly changed a great deal since then....

[natethefighter]

Wow. I had heard of Scrappy before, but this is the first cartoon of his I've actually seen. It's quite charming.

[purplemonkeyuk]

Yeah, it is, I like the design of the dog. Definitely one of the better 30s cartoons I've seen.

[TheSupremeGenius]

I grew-up on Scrappy & Krazy Kat cartoons. They won't re-broadcast them though, especially Scrappy (and his little brother,) because of their NOW inherent bad qualities: spitting on things, hitting, and race defilement.

[karlakor]

I thought perhaps I was the only one who remembered Scrappy and Krazy Kat! I also grew up on these 1930's cartoons, although I was born in 1954, but I never thought I would ever see any of them again. This is a treat!

[izakpolman]

I had seen this cartoon too from the Rediffusion Broadcast in Hong Kong during the 60's. Thank you so much for bringing this back!

MY God!

I haven'e seen this "Scrappy"movie cartoon

since WOR TV Ch.9 in NYC aired it on"Merrytoons

Circus!"with Mr.Claude Kirchner.

[robcat2075]

I've sometimes heard of Scrappy, but until now have never seen this most elusive of cartoon "stars".

[poeticphantom]

My god, I love "Scrappy"

[cartoonfan1920s]

Thanks a lot, I love these old fashioned rubber hose cartoons, can you post "Showing off" please? Thank you a bunch!
