They released this cartoon on DVD not that long ago, but they edited out the scene in wihich the mother spanks Audrey outside the house, and the scene were Audtry says "I'm just having fun with my gun."
I hate when the production companied do that with original work, thinking it may offend a few people. I saw nothing wrong with those scenes that weren't included on my DVD copy.
Especially because videotapes of these classics are extremely rare to come by these days.
The depressing premise is unusual for a Little Audrey cartoon, since the shorts are mostly humorous dreams where the girl is taught a lesson and wakes up a better person.
Paramount bought the Fleischer characters (including Popeye) and presumably owned the plots too, so could make new cartoons from them without paying the writers much
jffjl: It was actually the same studio---Paramount fired the Fleischers (shadily)and took over the place, but they kept the rest of the staff. So many of those same people that were on staff in 1935 were still around by the time this was made.
The plot of this cartoon is extremely similar to the one made by Fleischer Studios in the mid-1930's (a small boy shoots a little bird, the birds have a "funeral" for the little bird, the boy prays for the bird out of guilty conscience, the rain comes to revive the bird, the boy breaks his rifle to show he's no longer a menace to the birds, and the boy feeds the birds (he especially feeds the little bird with a seed in his mouth)). Even the title of that cartoon is "The Song of the Birds."
There is no need for that comment, I'm sure they did the best they could with what they had. They uploaded this for everyone's enjoyment, take it for what it is not what you think it should be.

As a child, I always thought Audrey was a boy...I guess I couldn't see the dress and the hair? Maybe it didn't matter to me. Haha
