Little Audrey - The Lost Dream

[YouToons100]

Is this a clip show?

[KBAFourthtime]

What did the dream mean by "sleeping like a top"? Is that a figure of speech? If so, what's the meaning?

[Paramedicpr835]

@KBAFourthtime Yes it is a figure of speech meaning the person tosses and turns all night during sleep.

[ParrLynn]

Watch 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassas. It has the same story. Its about avoiding temptation. This cartoon isnt racist either....whats so racist about baby sitting a child?

[emoinpink2]

I love the nanny she's so cute "you is the most disbelieving child, I'm going to tuck you in and you go to sleep right this here minute"

[thevickster86]

i love the opening song for these cartoons

[krysteria2]

I love these cartoons! I always saw Petunia, her nanny, as an authority figure. She always has sage advice for Audrey, and Audrey learns from her. So, I don't see that as negative. I realize this was made fifty + years ago, and a lot of things have changed in many ways for the better. However, I think they are a valuable piece of history! These cartoons inspire imagination in children, as well..

My Favorite Cartoon!!! 

[CommanderCornbread]

I didn't know Bluto had a sex change and became a black woman

[KBAFourthtime]

@CommanderCornbread He didn't, actually. When she is forbidding certain actions from Audrey, it's for a good reason.

[alexavillawolves]

I'm looking for one cartoon in particular, present in the "Casper and friends" show, where a little girl and her brother go under the sea to a place where all lost things go, and there they find Wally the clock their father had lost time ago. Can anyone help me with the name of it?, is it here in youtube?

[teasaiocht]

"NO MORE MOONSHINE FOR ME!"

[thegreatterror]

so did anyone notice the extremem racism in this?

[monsteriott]

This is one of my favorite classic cartoons! this episode specifically is a favorite :) I wish they would still play these cartoons for kids. Cartoons now are so serious comparatively. Anyways i LOVE this cartoon ^_^

[teamrocket87]

full lyrics on what the monsters are singing thanks.boo,what u did,etc..

[movieman2000]

I wish cinemas would play old cartoons before the movie isntead of 30 mins of ads we see on telly

[50chickens50]

@movieman2000 Yeah ads are part of why I don't see many movies...

[teamrocket87]

does anyone know what the nightmare monsters are singing?(i couldn't catch what they were singing)

[1yourtrust2]

Booo what you did, what you did,what you did!!!!!

[WWEChampion16]

Does she have any parents?

[KBAFourthtime]

It was noted in "Dizzy Dishes" and "Little Audrey Riding Hood" that she has at least a mother.

[victim451]

in the little audrey christmas special there were stockings hung labeled "mom" "dad" and "little audrey"

[RoyFive]

In the comic books she had both a mom and a dad (and several peers we don't see here because they weren't created until later on). But in the cartoons, we only ever saw Petunia.

[HuggyHuskyIsBack4U]

Her lips are big. O.O

[HELLBOYBEGINS6700]

i usd to lov this cartoon ....

[ThirdTimeChangedKBA]

"It isn't raining rain to me.

It's raining dimes and nickels.

Enough to buy (what was it?)

Potato chips and pickles."

[TonyDuMont]

"Enough to buy a mountain of potato chips and pickles."

[KBAFourthtime]

Okay. Thanks. I was logged off three weeks ago, so, this is my new account. That's why ThirdTime didn't reply back.

[ThirdTimeChangedKBA]

"You is the most disbelieving child."

[MadamMim96]

My grandmother bought me a video with this cartoon on it from Woolworth! LOL! I still have it on VHS!

[tod4533]

this is the kind of stuff i like to watch while trying laying in bed. it relaxes me more so i can sleep

[maggotofdainish]

stupid bitch opened the door

im not gonna lie i want the song the nightmares sing

[cutemedli7]

LMAO at the boys dream.

but its just not boys who dream that is pretty much all kids.

[shortbrownchick]

Thanks for uploading this. I use to watch this as a kid.

[Sulla2300]

I remember these Little Audrey cartoons even though I was born like 40 years after they were made. Imagine, kids my age actually watched these horrible racists cartoons and we made it to adulthood without becoming bigoted racists and cross buring members of the KKK. Imagine that.

[Sulla2300]

I was born in the 80s and my grandmother gave me these videos when I was little. Years later, we watched this in high school and the teacher said it was racist. Lighten up!!!

[filmgirl71]

Wow...it looks like they're going to try to find the Pick of Destiny..

[videojudge01]

man this episode is TRIPPY

[rockygirl6]

did you know that the voice of little audrey is the same voice from betty boop and little lulu and olive oyl from popeye?

[samacal]

Yes. It's Mae Questel.

[shanyne18]

Okay was it just me or was the fact that she couldn't stay away from the door that read DANGER get on your nerves??? And I guess those were the scary dreams she opened, yes? Other than that it was a cute clip. I think my fave was the pipe dream LMBO

[zurrell]

the fact that they have an african american raisings audrey is a compliment, enough with the crying about racism already, thats how most black people use to talk back then (thats how almost everybody use to talk) and yes im black

[ShawnActor]

you are so right. I don't see what the big deal is. I know racism is still an issue. I just got another Audrey episode "Song of the Birds" on one of my DVDs and they edited out the part where Audrey shoots a tomato off of Aunt Petunia's head and later gets her ass spanked. I was so mad!

They cut out one of the best parts of the cartoon in which it's shown that actions have consequences.

and for the record, I'm also half African American as well.

[zurrell]

its funny you should mention that because i have the original vhs version of this episode and they didnt edit that part out. I dont see how it was racist to have audrey shoot a tomato off of petunia's head, im glad someone see where im coming from

[PearlJamm]

its like a seven minute long LSD trip. wait wait wait... at the end she says 'no more moonshine for me'... moonshine is a drink thats like super alcoholic yea?

they ya go ive cracked it, shes on a drunken rampage :) go audrey go, encourage our imaginations forevermore

[Marbles471]

I used to puzzle over why she said "Aunt Petunia", until I realized she's actually saying "Yes'm, Petunia." (as in "Yes, ma'am") XD

[PF9ThePikachuLover]

The music in the graduation dream sequence sounds very familiar

[xcar0982]

I can't believe she can't understand No means NO

[diiva4realz]

ii like this but they could off made the african american so much better not all african americans look like that. But this was created in the 50's

[nikkigreeneyes77]

I dont think this cartoon is racist. For one thing the black woman has authority. She isnt being put down or called any thing bad. Also it was made in a different time period. I am white but I do have a Jamaican boyfriend. And as it was not right what happened in that time period, at least it doesnt show anything negitive towards her. ... anyways i love this cartoon!

[diiva4realz]

ii hear you girl. ii don't like how they made the african american women. Thats how they made all African people back then. buT ii still love little Audrey...

[Sleepingsparklegirl]

@nikkigreeneyes77 How the nanny is drawn how she talks is stereotypical and racist.

[turloughf]

who is that woman?

[jessiexo1]

i dont think the creators racist..this was like in the 50's and thats how it was back then he was only writing what he knew..

at least thats what I think but idk whatever..i love little audrey hehe shes funny

[Blackgirl1994]

Maybe you're right.

[JESUITACTOR]

wow....haha "no more moonshine for me..." hmmmm

its cool when u actually understand this stuff when you are older

[matrox]

She had real parents in the Harvey Comics version.

Who knows? Probably just real cheap labor back then. The maid probably only maid a couple of dollars a day plus food, room and board. Nt a bad deal for Audrey's parents.

[matrox]

Those old cartoon had beautiful artful drawings. And that maid had a bad case of vitalago on her lips.

[Blackgirl1994]

Now that's funny. You're about to make me laugh right now.

[smackkythepirate]

sheesh, that dream dude has such an attitude. and then audrey says she'll help him and then he's all nice and stuff.

[kitkat299]

that lady was in little lulus birthday episode

[ficklefun]

LMAO @ THE GIRL DREAMS!

[xLDEJRuffx]

That's a pretty good Little Audrey cartoon.

[CKB1987]

she always has that crazy laugh at the end

[audreyjosephsonday]

mmm i love little audrey! my name is audrey too!

~Audrey Josephson-Day~

[fromthesidelines]

Yes, Harvey got the rights to publish a "Little Audrey" comic book around 1950 (where she was originally billed as "Paramount's famous movie star"), with animator Steve Muffati drawing her adventures, as well as a brief daily comic strip for King Features in 1951. "Mammy" was never seen in the comic books, for obvious reasons....

[HEPSOUNDINT]

Brought back alot of memories...I'm only 22

but there were tapes layin around that I watched every day

It is racist tho....fucked up...I used wonder why they made the "maids" lips so big.

[Blackgirl1994]

Because they just hate us cause we black.And I know they know that black people are better than them.I hate the creator,He's a racist BASTARD.

[demonsrt4]

Im not racist and no offense intended but youre kind of being a hypocrit saying that your better when your griping about them being racist...which makes you racist too..noone is better than anyone

[JESUITACTOR]

I just want to say that as a man that just happens to be black...that i agree and feel the same way

[Blackgirl1994]

If you're agreeing with him I don't care if you'e not then.. Oh forget it I'm offended.

[Blackgirl1994]

Yeah. See.

[Blackgirl1994]

I was only saying we were better because I was reffering to racist PEOPLE.didn't mean it and don't call me a hypocrite or racist because i'm niether

[Marbles471]

It depends on how you're defining "racist". This cartoon was made at a time when the feelings of non-whites pretty counted for nothing in politics and popular culture, so depictions of minorities were rarely what you'd call enlightened. However, there's a big difference between being insensitive and being outright bigoted. This Mammy character may be a stereotype, but her purpose isn't to dehumanize or villainize black people. In other words, it's ignorant, but it wasn't done in HATE.

[Blackgirl1994]

Thank You for eing reasonable. And explaining to me becaause that's all I need when I've said he wrong thing.

[Marbles471]

If there's one thing I'm always trying to do in life, it's "be reasonable." Glad you think I succeeded this time. xD

[AdorableFlapper36]

Cool cartoon!

[intothewoodsluver]

and I think the dream sounds like casper and the sandman is the preist in tarts and flowers

-Henry

[intothewoodsluver]

I love the maid...she's absolutly hilarious...

-Henry

[ookamionigirl]

Wow this is really old. The cartoons back then were cool and reminded me of the picture books I used to read only the pictures moved.

[ByandFar]

This is SOOOO racist!!!

[Marbles471]

Wow. This is the only UM&M print I've ever seen that leaves most of the original credits intact (except the Paramount logo, of course). I wonder why.

[PF9ThePikachuLover]

maybe this is a "transitional print" after UM&M merged with NTA

[superleviathan]

The real director of this short is George Germanetti. The credited director (ex-Disney animator Bill Tytla) actually served as a supervising producer and directed the voice recordings,

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

You may think the kid sounds like Olive from the Famous Studios Popeye cartoons. (And you'd be head-on, too.)

[PatrickRox80]

Same voice actress. Mae Questel provided to voice of both characters.

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

Mae Questel who provided the the voices of Olive Oil,Betty Boop some1 told me she would provide the voice of Popeye sometimes? & Little Audrey she sounds like Olive Oil a little bit doesn't she PatrickRox80?

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

The little ghost sort of looks like Casper and sounds like the boy from the Little LuLu cartoon episode w/ the dog show.

[CKB1987]

thats just like Gabby was the voice of Goofy and sometimes they sounded alike.

[ParamountCartoons93]

Actually, I meant for the character, not the print.

[Ian16545]

Why the hell did "Mammy" ever bring up Audrey? She had real parents in the Harvey Comics version.

[ParamountCartoons93]

This is the orginal Paramount version. This pre-dated Famous Studios' connection with Harvey comics
