A short film about how cartoons were made in the 1930s and 40s. From the Walter Lantz studios the narrator takes you through the process of how an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit episode is made in this vintage "Going Places" short.

  • Really fascinating movie. First time I've seen a thorough behind-the-scenes from any studio but Disney. Seems like the original cartoon was in b&w. Any idea when this was filmed? BTW, even the experts can goof--note how the bat jumps from behind the catcher's glove to in front of it at 8:46. Odd that they synched the dialogue to the animation rather than the other way about.

  • I think it was in the late 1930s, but I'm not sure. There were several Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons made in the early 30s.

  • Thumbs up if you heard the piano player screw up

  • massa

  • Dang!!!! we are so lucky to be born in this era. Now all this process can be made with one software and one computer.

  • Walter lantz! hehe, younger than in woody woodpecker!

  • The cartoon that is being made here appears to be the early 1936 cartoon "Soft Ball Play". The documentary could have been filmed in late 1935 or so.

  • Some old cartoons were post-synched like these Lantz cartoons and the Fleischer cartoons, while other studios like Disney pre-synched their films to music and dialogue.

  • So they did the dialoge afterwards? That's... odd. XD

    But that does take some extra effort from the animators.

    Shows how much they care. :)

  • Is that guy with the typewriter Victor McLeod?

  • People really put their heart into entertainment in those days,

    but now we have better technology so people

    take the easy way out and the quality suffers.
