CHRISTMAS CARTOON: Somewhere in Dreamland (1936) (HD 1080p) | Mae Questel, Gus Wickie

[@leiaryanleiaryan6091]

I have been looking for this cartoon for years, been searching every key words i could think of. Thank you so much for giving me my childhood memories!

[@Lil-jg4vl]

Leia Ryan Leia Ryan I was in the exact same situation, I’m so filled with joy right now lol

[@melissa-np2pr]

Bruh I did one Google search 💀 Thank you for helping the algorithm I really needed to see this 🙏

[@jasmineshante8258]

Same! I loved it also it was sad to see those kids starve in the beginning.

[@nicoleyoung1318]

Same!

[@dacasman]

Same! I finally found it by searching "cartoon where children eat stale bread" haha!

[@cherylcoffin4592]

Did no one else watch these as a child and find them absolutely heartbreaking and attributed to feeling of deep guilt and sadness that pervade even in their adult lives ?

[@melissa-np2pr]

Heyyyy you know I did 🙂

[@Impactjunky]

@Cheryl Coffin Yes, this cartoon and one I have yet to track down where children at an orphanage get shoddy toys that fall apart on them on Christmas day still tug at my heart strings over twenty years later.

[@Impactjunky]

I just found that one too

[@JPdraws_]

@@Impactjunky it’s called Christmas comes once a year

[@jking0.o121]

I grew up in the 80s & 90s but definitely watched this. I'm gonna show it to my 6 year old. She will probably cry watching this lol.

[@ravenfaebowie]

I want to cry! I've been trying to find this for so long! I was beginning to think I imagined it! My Nan and Grandad had this on a REALLY old VHS tape with some other really old cartoons. I always loved this one in particular and loved watching it when I was little. But then I think either the tape broke or just got lost eventually once DVDs came in (I was born in the 90s lol) And I've been searching ever since! I miss my grandparents so much, and this one simple little cartoon has so many happy memories attached to it 💜💜 Thanks so much for uploading it 💜💜

[@katteboyd7007]

This is my exact situation! I just found it and text it to my older brother for him to verify I wasn’t losing my mind 😂

[@CandyGirlCane]

I just found it, too! I was randomly thinking about it. So glad I came across it. We didn't have cable when I was younger so we watched this cartoon and others all the time.

[@Shikquilamariamarshall]

Let’s cry together 😢 😊

[@Love.justice]

I had the same tape! And this episode alone taught me to be grateful for everything I have

[@jking0.o121]

I grew up in the 80s/90s but as a very young child I somehow watched this a few times and has it in my head for 30 years until I just found it today. What a great day. I typed in "poor kids want ice cream". I used to get so sad they were so poor and hungry.

[@allouttabubblegum1984]

we used to make "ice cream" with snow, vanilla extract, powdered sugar and a splash of milk.

[@CaptainCapital8]

One of the most heart wrenching cartoons ever but made a very big point about poverty

[@danieluwu4235]

Wow... it's been so long since I've seen this!! I used to watch it when I was a tiny child ☺ I also didn't realize how deep this actually is... I feel like crying. The nostalgia is strong. I'm so happy to be able to find this again!! Everything back then for me was so peaceful and calming, I was just a small child filled with joy. It's different now since I'm older, but the memories forever stay. 💕

[@heatherchoates7007]

ONE of my favorites. Along with "Christmas come but once a year". MAN I LOVE/MISS these... :)

[@EmeraldBlack]

My mom would play both of them on Christmas eve and have me rethinking life every year.

[@gloriaescalante978]

I spent my whole childhood never being able to finish this movie because of how old the VHS was that it always "lost picture" but the sounds continue but got creepy after 5 seconds and always reminded the tape to rewatched the clips. But thanks to this I've finally watched the whole movie. I finally know what happened after they woke up in "Dreamland"

[@のら猫丸]

When I was a child, about 50 years ago, it was televised in Japan. I feel very nostalgic. This animation is loved all over the world. Thank you very much for your contribution.

[@sarahhill849]

This brings back memories of watching this at my grandparent's house during the holidays. Thank you so much!

[@8thManDVDcom]

+Sarah R. Boyd Glad you can enjoy these once again, that's why we post them :) Thanks for sharing that.

[@masterkris4361]

I just broke out into tears seeing this as an adult. As a kid I didn’t understand the haves and have nots. I started balling the second they started eating that stale bread. The fact that they dreamed about FOOD made me lose my mind more, I poured tears when they woke up for real and just looked so happy to have an actual meal.

[@bassfairy_]

This cartoon made me cry as a kid

[@spy4863]

Such a sweet cartoon! Max Fleisher always did have a way of tugging at the heartstrings! I love the little boy's ingenuity when he realizes his bread is too hard to bite into so rather than complaining he says, "I'm gonna dunk!" And his sister does the same so that the bread is now soft enough to eat!

[@Huachuma1]

I thought it was chocolate cake, as a kid I was obsessed with stale chocolate cake and dipping it in milk because of this cartoon

[@kieradavis7694]

This cartoon to this day still makes me cry. It really resonates with whats happening now. The homeless situation getting worse, food, gas & housing cost going up & paycheck that barely get you by. Today my fiancée & i are really sick but taking days off to get better is a risk bc of bills/rent. I often think of how can we improve our lives better & dream of a life where we can both work hard & truly see the rewards of that hard work. I want so bad to see my fiancée happy & treated fairly by employers but like the cartoon that dream comes to an end & reality brings us back to real life.

[@DominusTheNephilim]

I never thought I'd see this ever again... I remember watching this when i was only 8 or 9, and it stuck with me ever since, whenever i feel like I'm eating too much, the boys plea and then the mothers weaping plays in my head. As frightening as it sounds, it's definitely made an impact on my life, thank you for this possible trip down memory lane.

[@Gilgurl1]

I miss my old times... Where my grandad and grandma still there... I don't get used to be with my mom and dad as my grandad raised me up until I was 12 years old. I used to watch all these cartoon brought up by my grandad everytime before I went for bed and school and sometimes I dreamed abt them. Now that my grandad and grandmom has gone forever for 5 years, their love is something. I miss them so much. Sorry for my bad english

[@foreverevolving6066]

Had this on VHS too as a child. Popped into my head out of nowhere!

[@SivistheoneArt]

I remember this a lot. I had it on vhs and would watch it often.

[@AshleyLaurenOfficial]

The memory of this film randomly hit me tonight and I CANNOT BELIEVE I FOUND IT!!! Grew up on this and loved watching it every Christmas Eve. We had it on a scratchy VHS lol.. Wow. The memories!

[@dacasman]

Same! I remembered the scene of the kids trying to eat the stale bread and a huge wave of memories hit me. Like the ice cream plants and everything. Completely forgot about it until yesterday on Christmas day.

[@AshleyLaurenOfficial]

@@dacasman So funny how the mind works! Haha!! I fell down the rabbit hole after finding this with all of the other oldies too!

[@sophsbbq1]

I cant believe I have found this cartoon! ❤ thank you for posting

[@thetortoise4107]

this one made me cry when i was a kid

[@SC-iu4nb]

One of my favorite childhood movies

[@Rege1988]

Man I use to have this cartoon and the others recorded on VHS. Damn I'm getting old lol.

[@Ebtaylor8]

Same! Now I’m trying to remember what other cartoons were on that video 😂

[@gabbarino]

I would watch this on VHS at my nanas house every year since I can remember. I absolutely love this.

[@cookieskoon]

One of my favorites from when I was a child. It would be interesting to know how the people who made this would have felt if they'd known their cartoons would impact the lives of kids as far forward as even the 1990's.

[@bridgetlennon8464]

2000’s!

[@jking0.o121]

I was born in 1987 and this is my first memory as a child. Watching this. It's been in my memory all my life until just now finding it.

[@Cyb3r.Vxmp16]

I was born 2006 and I grew up on these it’s so impressive that these are still being watched buy so many different ages

[@SheenaDawn]

I see people talking about how sad this and 'Christmas Comes But Once a Year' are, they're supposed to be these were released in the 1930's during the great depression. People were starving back then and people weren't as concerned with buying Christmas presents, they were more concerned about making sure they could put food on the table.

[@bryannaaquino4226]

This brings back so many memories, im so happy that i was able to find this. Its very heartbreaking as well, that these kids were starving and didnt have anything💔

[@Matucks]

I remember picking this up at WoolWorth's back in the 80's for like 99cents from a bin of VHS

[@karoliinakorhonen9794]

At first I was wondering how come there is firewood just laying about on the streets, until I realized the logs were always conveniently placed in front of the stores. Then it hit me.

[@kylienychole7678]

So happy this is on KZbin!

[@lauril0u]

This and a pups Christmas were my absolute favourites from when I was little. I love that I can now show my own kids these and enjoy them again

[@artimesalexander8906]

Used to watch this every Christmas when I was a wee toddler, now I found it again a year before I turn 18. This cartoon will continue living in my head rent free

[@anmolrattanbains5419]

Love this ! Thankyou for such a great upload ! Reminds me of the beautiful simple times when I was younger and would watch this every winter . Can’t wait to share this with my little daughter :) brings back the best memories !

[@christopherpaz5063]

This episode of these cartoon I must say it's very heart warming and very very sweet innocent and very very heart breaking but very very cute and sweet I surely like this clip very very much indeed I do capish......

[@lawyeronhorseback]

omg we LOVED this, would watch it again and again. The part where the little boy goes nom nom nom

[@Cyb3r.Vxmp16]

I’m 15 and grew up on cartoons like this

[@zacharybowen4247]

Had this on a VHS tape as kid with Christmas comes but once a year

[@TheMikeijay]

It always broke my heart so much at how poor they were yet how lovely and kind the kids were. The mother skipping meals and crying when there was no food for her kids just always made me want to reach into the TV and help them.

[@emilycunningham6136]

My very first memory of cartoons, this one & the santa one. I must of watched the vhs a million times ☺

[@alyssagrogan764]

This lives rent free in my mind

[@jfromtheisland9520]

Omg I been looking for this for years!! 😍😍😍😭

[@thegoddessdiana9185]

Mae Questel also did the Olive Oyl and Betty Boop voices in those old Fleischer cartoons. Gus Wickie did the voice of Bluto in the Popeye cartoons.

[@meliniebrown5888]

Such a wonderful video.🌺👏🏻👏🏻

[@ManoftheHour1987]

Man, Olive Oil hit hard times after popeye left

[@jjii66]

Mae Questel voices the mother and both children. Five decades later she would appear in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, as the confused aunt who recites the Pledge of Allegiance (instead of saying grace) at the dinner table.

[@allouttabubblegum1984]

Just randomly thought of this, bless the internet!

[@Nyax50Lopez]

I remember watching this in a VHS tape my dad got me. As a kid, it made me cry because many families are in poverty and can't afford much since I use to go to Mexico so often. Kids selling in the streets and parents working hard but don't make much. ATM I got tons of plushies and small toys in my car and I can't go to Mexico due to how ugly it got. I am seeking someone to take them so they can give them to kids before or after Christmas ya know 🥺😭😭😭 Makes me so happy some people help others out even if it's a bit.

[@STABStudios]

Idk why but I feel sad and heartbroken watching the two kids only eating bread, with the mother watching them eat. Tbh, I would do the same for my future children

[@Nyax50Lopez]

It's a nice lesson to show your kids that helping others in need will mean a lot to them. Heheh that what my dad did to me and now helping others with bit I can.

[@benrosenberg3489]

I'm not sure where or how I saw this but I never forgot it. Maybe Boomerang? That channel introduced me to so many old cartoons back in the 90s early 00s.

[@bassfairy_]

I think it was on old Christmas cartoon cds, I saw it in the 2000's pretty sure from vhs or cd

[@ul7185]

Merry Christmas, Redford Theatre!

[@Marvincmf]

Any technologies of animation can survive this work of art back in the 1930s like the pseudo-cgi backgrounds

[@Muñecota-y5q]

Las mejores caricaturas como estas ningunas

[@bluetarantulaproductions6179]

seems like the craziest acid trip for some kids to have in their dreams

[@ShanelleHarmon]

2024 putting my grandson on❤

[@teslafulk8381]

Does anyone else remember this from a vhs with Casper the friendly ghost?

[@Nyax50Lopez]

I saw it in a Christmas theme animation vhs

[@tsopmocful1958]

Homer Simpson and his Land of Chocolate. Not a leafy green in sight.

[@albertoenriquezjr8815]

1;24 that's the same from wonder showzen.

[@a.walters123]

Apparently Popeye walked out on Olive Oil and left her with these two children. What a chump.

[@heidigraney4075]

I wonder if their aware they are dreamscaping!

[@GerbinTheYTPMan2010]

2:54 - 3:02 Why is there Mom crying

[@SharLisa]

Because her children are hungry and she doesn’t have anymore food to give him. They went to bed hungry and had a dream about eating food.

[@xxyogirlxx128]

this is a fever dream... im only 17 how do ik this

[@Ronin.Samurai]

No, this is a dream hungry children have. Keep in mind their mother doesn’t have the money to fill their tummies and give them some toys.

[@ThornOfHearts]

I remember this in black and white Lol. I'm not that old tho

[@paulober8508]

easily one of the most disturbing cartoons ever made lmao, yikes do not watch this stoned

[@mikerodriguez5169]

my mom had this on vhs as well I haven't seen this in forever
