Krazy Kat- Stork Exchange [1927]

[@JaneFrieman]

It amazes me how the animators illustrated this cartoon. One thing would morph into something different from the original. Such creativity interests me.

[@fromthesidelines]

Otto Messmer did the same thing in his "Felix the Cat" cartoons.

[@DAMN_ITS_GOT_SPOTS_ON_THE_TOP]

It fascinates me, as well! It's as if the animated objects could shape-shift at the will of the protagonist. It's such blissfully entertaining fun! Love the music, too!

[@VeganPopTarts]

I like this music a lot more too

[@bigblob1623]

@Rockin Ed Thanks for putting this up! I'm George Herrimans great grandson and I have never seen these.

[@luizfernandocanaloficial9511]

George Herriman did nothing in this one.

[@luizfernandocanaloficial9511]

He only did the 1916 cartoons.

[@aziolsen1750]

@@luizfernandocanaloficial9511Herriman was only involved in The International Film Service Krazys by name, as in, credited as the creator of the Krazy Kat comics. He was never involved in the production of the shorts

Just AMAZING stuff!! So storks really DO bring babies!!!

[@22snazario]

sideshowtink no, no they don’t. Cartoons are fiction.

[@dhdowlad]

Columbia later made a new Krazy Kat cartoon.

[@fromthesidelines]

Mintz later produced a series of "Krazy" sound cartoons for them, beginning in the early 1930's. Those had little to do with Herriman's character, and were more of a faux Mickey Mouse.

[@No-hd4cg]

@@fromthesidelines the sound Krazy Kat cartoons actually began in the late 1920’s

[@fromthesidelines]

Yes, "Ratskin", in August of '29.

my youtube is named after......

[@RetroRabFan]

Krazy's design is pretty unique for a cat.

[@MinionNot_here]

It doesn’t have music. It’s a silent cartoon.

[@7roadapples]

I love this strip...I sent it along to my baby sister who is pregnant...well done!

[@alonzochurch3194]

Liked the music better than the cartoon. It did fit well.

[@jayhershey7525]

Terrific cowboy jazz!

[@PutsyPumps]

That's a good one.

[@OM19_MO79]

Where's the brick?

[@luz-flipa-acao-1905]

Era o dia de folga do Ignatzes

[@SpongeDan]

Non-existent in this version.

[@ChopsForBohemians]

Different Stork from Herriman's !

[@richardranke7878]

In an old Krazy Kat comic strip,Krazy said,"My Mama said she found me in a rosebush,"to which Ignatz mouse replied,"Your Mama was telling you fibs.Joe Stork brought you."

[@LilacTuba]

That's his Columbia Pictures design.

[@StephenPickells-bi2ii]

It sounds like Stefan Grappelli with Django Reinhardt, but either way, excellent choice. I could watch the cartoon all day, and I probably will, with different music.

[@Malachi-k4x]

Do you have auto suggestion 1929?

[@kevinmcqueary7395]

is it me? or does this cat kinda' look like Felix, except for that bow, bow-tie, what ever that is around his neck?

[@Apuleius_]

Kevin McQueary It's not just you--the mid 20s Krazy Kat shorts were designed to compete with Felix and were originally directed by Bill Nolan, who'd previously animated Felix shorts and had even redesigned the character. His versions of Felix and Krazy are rounder and easier to animate.

[@No-hd4cg]

@@Apuleius_ I know I am late but Nolan probably didn’t make the Krazy shorts to compete with Felix in fact Nolan wasn’t even the director of this short the last Krazy short Nolan directed was “Wild Rivals” (July 18th 1927), Ben Harrison and Manny Gould would take control of the series beginning with the following entry “Sealing Whacks” (August 1st 1927) this short was released on December 17th 1927 and this is pretty much Krazy in name only he acts nothing like this in George Herriman’s comic strip Krazy

[@JaxCoolKartunes]

Krazy Kat was made before Felix the Cat

[@СофьяДиИльян]

Как Час 46 Минут прошло как ты меня убил на работе ты меня бросил так же как мы расстались из-за этого не было настроения общаться со мной так как будто ты не знаешь

[@tokidefresa3113]

El brayan y el kevin son la burla comparado con ignacio

[@wyylla]

Sorry--hate the music. Had to watch with sound off.
