I think this was the first cartoon I'd ever seen. I was a small girl, and I related so much to Billie. It's hard to see the world sometimes, so you just gotta look with your heart.

I love this cartoon so much I had it on a vhs tape, so happy I found it. It’s so emotional, when she says she’s never seen her mothers face I literally feel a heaviness beat in my heart. So sad.

I remember skipping when I was younger because it was too sad for me. This is probably the reason why I love raggedy Ann so much now. They depict the way blind people visualize and hear in such a beautiful and unique light, instead of showing it only as a problem. This was very ahead of its time to be this accepting.
@Leamichellefan22442 ай бұрын
Do you know what sad is they don’t do that anymore. I should know because I’m blind and I’ve never seen a cartoon or movie that depicts people like me the way that this does which is why I still love it to this day and don’t even get me started on the song that raggedy and sings to the little girl that’s just downright beautiful.

Typically for Famous Studios, they miss so many dramatic possibilities of a little blind girl wandering around her shabby street (which would get gentrified in the next decade) imagining it to be a magic amusement park. And the ear-piercing "You can see with your heart" at the end would set dogs howling. But it's a charming and moving cartoon, and looks dazzling it its restored Technicolor glory. Do you think Officer Flanagan likes Billie's mother a little? Halloween, everybody!

This is probably one of the most acclaimed cartoon shorts to ever come out of by Paramount’s Famous Studios and it’s a shame this and most of the other Famous standouts(including the other Raggedy Ann short From 1944,some of the best Popeye shorts from 1942-1948 and a few ones from 1949 and the 50’s including 1953’s 3D Popeye,The Ace of Space,several Casper and Herman and Katnip standouts and The Superman shorts)weren’t ever nominated for a Acadamy award for Best Animated Short film compared to Fleischer Studios and George Pal’s Puppetoon shorts. Poor Famous.

@@jrgensaint-croix1817NTA was the TV distributor that Paramount sold their pre-November 1950 cartoons to. Not just the TV rights, but the copyrights to the cartoons altogether. NTA’s prints often ended up being in poor quality, and they were ordered to remove Paramount’s name from the cartoons, so they did so by shoddily covering it up with black bars. Unfortunately, some cartoons are only available in their NTA versions. NTA’s successor ended up being bought out by Paramount many years later.
