I love watching 1940s cartoons as a 10 year young kid in school

This is the cutest version of Tom Thumb i ever saw.

@RJRanke----Yes!!! I remember that cartoon too! Tom lived with his full-size, burly, and adoring lumberjack dad who had a beard. In the 'toon, Tom ran away (or something like that) and the dad thought he was dead. It was quite the dramatic tear-jerker, as I recall. I would LOVE to see that cartoon again. It made me very emotional as a kid... because Tom was sooo cute and the dad was so kind and loving.

Oh yeah, I think it’s called Tom Thumb in Trouble.

I think i saw this before on the Cartoon Craze: Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur DVD!

[@SFSVHS]

That’s the one. I just found my copy of it and was looking up the cartoons from it. What a special throwback that DVD is; I watched it all the time as a kid in the 2000s!

Originally released by Paramount (you can barely see the studio logo before the "Noveltoon" title appears on screen at :16). Cecil{e} Roy, who was previously the voice of the studio's "Little Lulu", is "Tom's" voice here.

Don't think I ever saw this though I might recall some snippets of it.

I kinda feel this company was a serious rival to Warner Bros and Disney and eventually lost to them in the end.

This cartoon was narrated by Charles S. Irving.

Naturally, NTA just covered up "Copyright 1948 by Paramount Pictures, Inc.", 'sygo'. If the notice had been one unbroken line, "All Rights Reserved" would have been eliminated as well. The narrator, incidentally, is radio announcer Charles Irving (he did a lot of ABC's New York shows at the time), who also narrated several "Screen Songs" as well.

Oh no there ripping off Disney material, no wonder this company was doomed to begin with.
