Walt Disney used to try to match the quality and popularity of the Paul Terry "Aesop's Fables" cartoons. What's interesting is that this film was made after the first sound Mickey Mouse cartoon (Steamboat Willie, 1929) This film is a TOTAL rip-off of Mickey and Minnie, which shows how Terry's cartoons had been dwarfed by the popularity of Mickey. The student had become the master!
The first one was originally released as a Van Beuren "Aesop's Fable" in January 1931; co-directed by John Foster & Harry Bailey, with "synchronized" music by Gene Rodemich. #2, "Romeo Robin", from the same studio, was first released in June 1930, co-directed by Foster & Mannie Davis, who were again working for Paul Terry by the end of the decade [he and Amadee Van Beuren were partners until Terry left in 1929 to form his own studio. He even got the rights back to the "Aesop's Fables" title!]
@fromthesidelines cool thanks! I have this as part of a collection, and always thought it was probably a Vane Beuren the style is practically unmistakable), but due to the title being cut off I was only left wondering if I was correct. :( THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP FOR ME! =D
