Beck was a popular choice for narrator and "character speaking to audience" roles in this retro era. And honestly, he does have a very easing storytelling voice.
"Hands down the WORST cartoon EVER made." Far from it. The song "Camptown Races" was writte in the 19th century for Minstrel shows, which features performers in black-face. So this song is being historically accurate in this regards. it's also fun.
far from sucks yes. i was born in 1955 and remember when these cartoons screen songs was part of a morning cartoon program on-air from 6am-9 am mon-sat on ch 13, wlos tv , asheville,nc where i grew up. my daddy remembered these from the movies before tv broadcasting that began in 1953-54 in that area and would singalong with my baby sister and i when we were watching these. they ran until the late '6o's in that area. anybody that grew up in that area from 1958 -1988 remembers the tv show as "mr. bill ". mr. bill retired in 1988 and good morning americia show took over per ABC network changes.enjoy seeing these again.
Oh wow! When I was a gradeschooler, this was my VERY favorite song....this one and "Oh Susannah." Both written by Stephen Foster (seems like a different lyric here, though).
Origianlly released in July 1948- and a preview of just how "mediocre" Paramount's cartoon output was going to be by the early '50s...and this was a "decent" one! Indeed, the "NTA" end title has the 1938 "Merrie Melodies" end title music added...
This captures the essence of minstrel shows which dominated American mass entertainment for 50 years! The structure of cartoon is very similar: Act i: Ensemble singing and solos. Act II Novelty acts/variety part. Act III Plantation finale: happy slaves singing and dancing,etc. It omits the 'stump speech' which mocked northern blacks. Cartoon's end implies no one can fail to be tickled by minstrels!! Golden Slippers was written by African American James Bland, which raises interesting questions.
20th century cartoons were amazing, my childhood was blessed by some good cartoons with good humor and people who could laugh at the joke without getting it cancelled. Like Tom and Jerry banned across countries for being violent, racist, and saying it promotes drugs and killing and suicide. Like wtf man
As a black woman, I'm definitely not a fan of the obvious racism in this cartoon. But if I'm being honest, I can't say it's the worst cartoon ever made.
Distasteful? Ignorant? Dated? Corny? Probably. An ill-advised relic of its time? Certainly. But for "WORST cartoon EVER made" it's got a LOT of competition.

I'm guessing that this cartoon was produced around the 1930's, and I know Minstrel Shows were still a thing at the time... So if u know what a Minstrel show was, this is basically that but cartoon form with animals. Today some people would completely lose it, but back in the 1930's or when ever this cartoon was made (idk if it is from the 1930's, look like it though) this was appropriate for the public.
Why continue to fuel the racist fire? Racism is more addictive than any drug. Racism influences more people than Religion and Politics combined. The only thing people love more than Racism is Money. Good thing they don't have to choose between the two since Racism is extremely lucrative. Racism is Hate. Hate is poison. Self poison. Racism is suicide. The world is addicted to suicide.
I just found out that this was featured on that new 300 classic cartoons DVD that just got released a couple of months ago. I will be adding that DVD to my collection real soon.
Some of the greatest American songs written in the 19th century were written for minstrel shows because that's where the money was. It was the most popular musical form in the United States from the 1830s to the 1880s. Although racism was a backdrop for the shows, the musicianship and production quality of the top shows were undeniable.
@@Mamaluigi13 unfortunately you don’t know what racism is. This minstrel show did not degrade people of color, and didn’t even mention color. It was comedy made before your wh#re mother was born ❤
Well I still respect you for uploading what you consider the worst cartoon ever made. And yes, the Famous Screen Song cartoons weren't as good as the Fleischer ones, even though I still enjoy them.
I loved the way those characters looked, especially the hippo at 6:52, its great character design, just what cartoon animals should look like throughout. The pitch black black faces really worked visually and snce they were minstrels in blackface they were stereotyping minstrels not black people. Minstrels are a real time part of entertainment history, actual black stereotypes are not, they are an part of, often racist, media time. And I liked the song part too, I don't think I ever heard, or paid attention to, the lyrics from start to finish, and was quite glad to here. A Screen Song can't be compared to a regular, non Screen Song cartoon, but this is far from the worse cartoon ever made. It's rather enjoyable, even superior, if you like the look, sound, and feel of cartoons in and for themselves. I sure do.
Nothing great, but still enjoyable in that it's a product of it's time. Maybe a bit "racist" with the blackface, but like the Jack Benny program (the radio show), you'd be surprised how much of the stuff we perceive as "racist" today in these old pieces aren't intended to be hateful so much as they are to be funny.

Goof-- at 0:47 the elephant isn't wearing blackface makeup; but in the closeup a few seconds later, and the return to a long shot at 0:56, he is. Really, this sort of humor was falling out of vogue around this time, and big studios like Warners were starting to shy away from it. Tex Avery was maybe the last of the big-time directors to do a picture with blackface humor; I think that was about 1951. Was it bold or extremely short-sighted for Famous to still be doing gags like this a decade (Buzzy's last appearance was 1954, plus a surprise appearance in a "cheater" from '59) after the others had hung it up for good?
If having the black face musicians singing DIXIE isn't at least subversive in its racism, then I don't know what is. I understand, minstrels, good tune, sure. But damn y'all, don't say it's racism free.
Richard Holekamp Personally I don't view it as racism. Sure people would be insulted by it, but in all honesty why? Who does it really insult? Does it put anybody down today or make one race feel superior to another? Being someone who grew up outside of the culture that created this cartoon, I just don't see it. Should we also be insulted by clowns because they have white faces among other exaggerated feature? That's not to say that racism wasn't there when it was first created almost 50 years ago, but I am saying that racism (like all forms of bullying) only has power when you give it the power. Also context matters, for example the American "ok" hand sign is the same as a big "F U" in some countries.
@@Snowmon89 were white faced clowns created for the same impersonating and humorous purpose? No one is said to cancel the company for it's administrative decisions from this era, No one says to erased the cartoon from history, but OP is right
This must be one of the most known PD editing I've ever seen anyways. I wonder what cartoon did they lift the Merrie Melodies ending from,as from my memory I remember that no 1937 MM was PD. I could be wrong though.
Hernan Hernandez Can't be since by 1938-1939 they changed the theme. Look up Hamateur Night,and compare the ending song to the one in here. Maybe the 1937 theme here is from one of the Censored 11?
This is AWESOME MUSIC!!! 💖💖🎶🎶 I learned all these tunes (if not all the lyrics at least the choruses) when I was a toddler in the 50's!

You know, if it wasn't for the blackface this would probably be a cute well-known classic cartoon. A real shame, if only there was a way to touch up the old footage to change the faces.
changing the faces would be changing history. a main viewpoint that these old cartoons give us is the state of media and politics back when they were made
This is one of many reasons why I hate ancient cartoons. Massive Racism and Creepy Weird Animation in the Late 20s-30s including monstrous designs for monsters and transformations, including that creepy evil snowman, and even the famous cartoons use Black Face in some shorts.

Reading into it, the Elephant is voiced by Jackson Beck, the original voice of Bluto in the _Popeye_ cartoons and the narrator of the 80s _G.I. Joe_
I can hear it
I didn't know about bluto doing gi joe voice
Beck was a popular choice for narrator and "character speaking to audience" roles in this retro era. And honestly, he does have a very easing storytelling voice.
He cut his teeth on radio as a narrator and actor, appearing on *many* programs {including a stint as star of the syndicated "PHILO VANCE" series}.
