I love how this cartoon was literally just structured on horses having casual conversations. It also helps me get a better understanding on how people talked back then.
@@varoonnone7159 Oh it's there, but from the start they were using particular localities for the accents. It's rare to figure out what locality they use and whether or not it's an import.

@@Kehy_ThisNameWasAlreadyTaken It might be there but in american films today, you have a higher probability of hearing a black american character with a somali accent playing a new yorker than hear one of the accents of central United States
i absolutely love how the Narrator is so openly fond of Maggie, and i also love how nobody really makes fun of her, or uses her as the butt of the joke
look at it like this: if you are being mocked, someone thinks you are a threat and is trying to reduce your social standing. Nobody feels threatened by maggie. That's why they mock the high-value mare instead, they feel inferior to her.
I love how no one’s noticed that Maggie isn’t actually a horse. In her first scene, there’s a wanted poster showing a cow that escaped from a milk wagon who looks oddly similar to her
She also shows that it’s not your looks or popularity that helps you win the race, but your kindness and perseverance. Maggie works hard to win the race, but she also respects the other horses despite their differing appearances and opinions. To win in life, you have to work on fixing your own problems without correcting those around you. The opinions of others should not be your priority, no matter how infuriating they seem to you. Don’t throw stones when you live in a glass house. Find ways to deal with your struggles, be kind to others, respect everyone around you, work efficiently and most importantly: remember that the world around you wants nothing more than to see you become the best person you can be.
What gets me is that Maggie won because in the end, she was literally the ONLY horse who wasn't so consumed by obsessing over her appearance she literally forgot she was running a race. The others fell into folly of their vanity and snobbishness, but Maggie kept her eyes on the prize and won. There's a lesson here.

Thank you, because I was coming to comment “ so we are just going to ignore the clearly racist part?” It’s funny yes, and it can still be funny, but let’s call a spade a spade as they say.
@@Vanvanroo Well that’s the same as the black horse, it’s stereotypical. And if you think the misogyny it’s somewhat “OK” simply because it’s kinda true, then you’re also saying all of that about the black horse and what it represents and that it’s somewhat OK because it’s kinda true. So I don’t really understand the contradicting on why the misogyny was fun, but the racism wasn’t
@@MaidenOfHusbandsMaybe all of you are taking the comedy short too seriously. This short is a product of its time, no it wouldn’t fly today but for what it is, it’s enjoyable. It happened, the jokes are there, you can either like them or not. Get over it.
@@angrybidoof847 I remember those, they are so cursed. It's a damn alchemy experiment fusing Bratz and MLP. I remember my sister and I mocked them by calling them "whorses". It felt really clever when you're like 12.
@@formorian5 I never heard of them somehow but this made me look thinking it would be something like Pinkie Cooper. I was but woefully ill-prepared for what I saw. First thought "why are the horses in heels?" Second "wtf is happening with their hind legs? They look human!" I thought Bratz babiez were bad but the whole line was just... They had to be a joke. It's some satirical joke right?
@@berserker3414these horses are highly sexualized for no reason and far too much attention is spent on their ass. You can't tell me the animators didn't know exactly what they were doing when they designed these horses.
Because none of the animation is hand-drawn anymore. Everything rather it’s 3D or 2D, has models that you move around instead of drawing the character over and over again every single time. Movies like Moana, they don’t remodel/draw her every single time, they use the same one model and move her arms around, basically like stop motion. Shows like My Little Pony: Friendhip Os Magic, is also using a model they move around, almost like stop motion, they aren’t drawn over and over again like how Cinderella was and how flip books are made. They didn’t have a model for Cinderella, they had to draw her and animate everything every time. Because of that, animations like this video are even more expressive, because they have to redraw the character every time, and being more expressive allows them to go off model and not worry so much about making the character look completely the same every time like how they do in Moana or Rapunzel. That’s why even fabric in animations like Cinderella or Snow White, is still seen as being more expressive unlike clothing in Rapunzel. The dresses moving in Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, are more expressive than even the dresses in Encanto
I agree that there's something magical about hand drawn animation. Such meticulous skill it was to draw every single frame by hand. Nowadays only mainly independent niche animators make hand drawn animation but it's hard to do everything alone.
@@MaidenOfHusbands okay it's pretty obvious you're missing quite a few ESSENTIAL modern animations. If you want to say "none of the animations are handdrawn anymore," You have to answer to modern animations like Klaus and Wolfwalkers, and even parts of the new Across The Spiderverse movies. The spot vision segment is 2d handdrawn animation. Klaus is entirely 2d handdrawn animation, and Wolfwalkers is not only 2d handdrawn animation, but is handdrawn animation with background handdrawn animation that would make Richard Williams the proudest man on the earth if he accomplished it.
@@MaidenOfHusbands I think your lack of care for modern animation has made you ignorant. There is much more to 3D animation. You must build the model well, ao you can stretch it as needed, squish it as needed, really get those expressive features in there! A good animator uses techniques that will enhance the expressiveness of their animation, including subtle movements and changes in facial expression, stance, etc. And lighting, shading, etc etc, it can all be used excellently in 3D. Just look at how Kung Fu Panda uses colors to convey emotions, they made the characters fight in different ways and had to keep track, there's a lot of cartoon physics for funny gags, and the subtle emotions on the characters' faces are amazing. The fight between Tai Lung and Master Shifu is an example of modern animation done well.
Yeah I sat there for the first five minutes kind of shocked that nothing had showed up... Ashamed to admit that when it did my reaction was literally just "Ah, yep, there it is..."
I do the same thing when I used to see those old episodes of tom an jerry where the owner was the black lady. its perfect. perfectly awful, but still perfect. 😅
@@MaidenOfHusbands I would not define my emotions as shocked. It was just funny. In fact, that particular characterization was true to life. There were most definitely black that talked like that. The mere presence of it it’s characterization isn’t in itself racist. No more than the Hillbilly lightning bug from Princess and the Frog. It becomes racist when that characterization is associated with an entire race.
Almost everyone is commenting on the Dark Horse joke, which was a cheap, race related double entendre joke. But the reality is that Maggie actually fits the definition of a Dark Horse when it concerns competitions. So I guess the race has two Dark Horses.
@@alexconn7473this is sexist; you can be beautiful and true of heart. I’ll take the woman who’s a good person, and not judge her/merit her worth off of her appearance right off the bat any day. Not all gorgeous women are shallow and not all plain women are diamonds in the rough.
dear god, Maggie is so freaking cute! I wish if she had her own stand alone cartoons. yes I know we already had too many anthro horse characters but Maggie kinda had her own personality and charm.
I have no idea why, but the one horse's line "And that's not all, dear. Last night, he came home with a strange bit in his mouth!" never fails to make me laugh. 🤣
"She says she got it from Saks" "yeah, gunny sack" is a fashion joke that's aged very strangely. Saks refers to Saks 5th Avenue, the NYC department store. Gunny sack is another term for a burlap sack, but in the 1967, a label started called Gunne Sax (pronounced the same), which made formal dresses inspired by rural fabrics like gingham and rose print.
Holy cow, that was ages I've seen this particular cartoon. It was in the theaters around the 60s. Long time ago... brings me fond memories when I was a kid.
@@boboutelama5748 Dark horse genuinely made me lose it. XD The whole thing was making fun of how horrible women can be but that was just unexpected random.
At the start of the race Maggie started a few seconds later than all other galloping gals and won because other horses slowed down at the very end, meaning that she wasn't far behind and normally would go head to head with others.
Fun Fact! This cartoon was originally distributed in 1940, and only had color because it was as a pre-show to the feature film "Hullabaloo" in theatres. Public broadcasting for home televisions wouldn't have the technology readily available for another thirteen years (14, for the U.S.) ^^
@@glocrowhurstAnd also made after Puss gets the boot the first ever Tom & Jerry cartoon and they weren't allowed originally to make anymore cat and mouse cartoons and Galloping Gals and Officer Pooch were made as a result of that, but it all changed when the higher ups at MGM were asked if there will be anymore Cat and Mouse cartoons and Tom & Jerry was born.
Welcome back to "Furries Before the Internet" the show where we look at classic cartoons through modern lense and realize that certain patterns of behavior existed long before the internet brought them to the public eye.
I was born in the 80s, but I remember watching this once as a kid. They honestly don’t make cartoons like this anymore. These days they’re either too fast, too loud or too chaotic…or all of the above. Cartoons like this are more my speed.
This was one of those cartoons I saw as a kid in the 70s, when we had B&W tv. ONCE. Never afterwards. I finally saw it again (in COLOR!) around 2005 as a bonus on a Marx Bros. DVD.
There's plenty of stuff like that---you see it once as a kid, forget about it, then see it on youtube as an adult years later. There was an episode of Read All About It from PBS when I was a kid; some kinds in a hovercar on an alien planet, in a maze, being asked riddles to pass checkpoints. My brother had to fill me in on enough information to find it back; I'm glad I didn't imagine it!
@@ShadowNinetales I guess I’m just stupid and I don’t know how savagery worked back then because I know they’re burning them or saying mean things but it’s so foreign to me I don’t understand how it can be mean. The words I do not understand them they’re too intellectual. Or just old.
@@lilhedgehog8576 Yeah, a lot of it is hard to decipher because of the old-timey language and euphemisms, but as far as I can tell they're just making fun of the other mares behind their backs, gossiping and making shallow comments about whatever supposed 'fashion faux-pas' or 'romantic scandals' they are judging them for, with some horse-related terms substituted in for comedic effect. And especially cruelly, calling Maggie "shot" as in broken, because of her simple, childlike mind.
I remember hating this cartoon as a child. I thought something along the lines of "If I wanted to watch people standing around talking, I'd watch one of those live-action shows!" Growing up is underrated!
every one of these old cartoons is a game of "at what point is this gonna become overtly racist" and it never fails Edit: for the record, I’m talking about 5:37- that’s the blatant part
Brandon Kohout yes this is one of 5 one-shot Cartoons NOT starring Tom and Jerry or Spike and Tyke directed by Willam Hanna & Joseph Barbera and produced by Fred Quimby
It's crazy seeing the old Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood in animated form. Hollywood Park Racetrack was where SoFi Stadium is now. It was co-owned by Harry and Jack Warner, Samuel Goldwyn, Walt Disney, Humphrey Bogart, Bing Crosby, and Ronald Coleman.
Whatever happened between this and then, there's no way this *didn't* play at least SOME finite role in inspiring the MLP series, at least I wouldn't be surprised. This is really, REALLY impressive for the 1930s!
RIGHT, I love these old cartoons they're very simple in a way that seems to allow for a lot of creativity. I just wish they weren't so creative with the racism
Ive been wanting to see it for years saw it in the 90's as a little girl wondering if I'd grow up to be a classy lady like them. nope Im 29 and people call me cute...Im never called beautiful Ive given up on that. I'll deal with cute.
@@LadyLunarellagood thing you didn't end up like them. sexualized,a hypocrite,bully,gossips about others with talent and hopefully you didn't end up racist with the blackface character
@@Milk-ck1wv I did turn out ok. I don’t like gossiping about others. I avoid drama like the Covid. I love my god mother who is African American. I care for all my friends and family. I’d smack any Karen’s for dissing my friends.
I mean, they didn’t get their own studio from sitting on their hands… 30s, 40s, and most of the 50s Hollywood had money to burn. Not so much in the 60s on other than a few experimental cult classics. It was mostly seeing what all corners could be cut. That’s why you see a character’s head remain stationary when walking or the jaw doesn’t move while talking
i think its hilarious that Maggies unspoken lore is that shes a fugitive runaway milk wagon horse

Shut the fu*ck up you know why. Crawl back under your bridge, troll.
Maggie is an example of being your own character instead of fitting into a crowd.❤ She's very unique for not resembling/acting like those stuck ups.
She also shows that it’s not your looks or popularity that helps you win the race, but your kindness and perseverance. Maggie works hard to win the race, but she also respects the other horses despite their differing appearances and opinions.

It's like watching the Golden Girls but with horses lol some of those insults were genius wordplay
"She's really feeling her oats."
"She should, she sows enough of them!"
DAAAAAMMN SHE JUST SAID THAT HORSE LOVES THA D
I would pay to watch an entire series that was just golden girls with horses
@@LaineMann ........ Golden Corral? 🤣
There's a moral lesson in this scene; no matter what they said about you for not being 'perfect', you have to keep on trying...
Welcome back to "Furries Before the Internet" the show where we look at classic cartoons through modern lense and realize that certain patterns of behavior existed long before the internet brought them to the public eye.
Hell, the first furry con was in the 80s
In this same time period, we have Bugs Bunny crossdressing like nobody's business...
This really needs to be a series. TV, CZcams, podcast, doesn't matter.
I was born in the 80s, but I remember watching this once as a kid. They honestly don’t make cartoons like this anymore. These days they’re either too fast, too loud or too chaotic…or all of the above. Cartoons like this are more my speed.
This was one of those cartoons I saw as a kid in the 70s, when we had B&W tv. ONCE. Never afterwards. I finally saw it again (in COLOR!) around 2005 as a bonus on a Marx Bros. DVD.
I did watch this cartoon as a kid too only it was playing in tooncast at the time and I was in my aunts house at Argentina when that occurred
There's plenty of stuff like that---you see it once as a kid, forget about it, then see it on youtube as an adult years later.
There was an episode of Read All About It from PBS when I was a kid; some kinds in a hovercar on an alien planet, in a maze, being asked riddles to pass checkpoints. My brother had to fill me in on enough information to find it back; I'm glad I didn't imagine it!
@@Stevie-Jrelic my foot. The cartoons with blacks in it still works in this day and age today. Ghetto will always be ghetto.
I saw this on a cable channel called Boomerang. It played all the retro cartoons.
That is a Time Warner channel, like Cartoon Network.
My genuine hope is this becomes a spin off in My Little Pony. This shit would be priceless.
heh!😊nice one
Derpy vs 12 Rarities
@@plucas1 I think they're acting more like Diamond Tiara than Rarity, with how savage they are lol
@@ShadowNinetales I guess I’m just stupid and I don’t know how savagery worked back then because I know they’re burning them or saying mean things but it’s so foreign to me I don’t understand how it can be mean. The words I do not understand them they’re too intellectual. Or just old.
@@lilhedgehog8576 Yeah, a lot of it is hard to decipher because of the old-timey language and euphemisms, but as far as I can tell they're just making fun of the other mares behind their backs, gossiping and making shallow comments about whatever supposed 'fashion faux-pas' or 'romantic scandals' they are judging them for, with some horse-related terms substituted in for comedic effect. And especially cruelly, calling Maggie "shot" as in broken, because of her simple, childlike mind.
The poster that says, "Wanted, Fugitive from a Milk Wagon" on Maggie's "room", makes you think she's a cow pretending to be a horse.
Good job, Maggie. We're proud of you. 🎉
Maggie is a wanted fugitive from a milk wagon.... o_o
Hooray! 😃Maggie won 🏆! 🤩
SPOILERS
@@SirSpicyPantsonce again, don't read comments on a video you haven't watched yet if you don't want to be spoiled
@@m0chikim_ Don't comment on my comment if you don't want me to kiss your mom eh
The Bojack horseman remake is looking good.
This is the BoJack Horseman prequel. Bojack grew up watching Seabiscuit and this was Seabiscuit's era.
Gonna tell my kids this was Friendship Is Magic
4:51 *Maggie is adorable❤*
Good for Maggie she deserves it. Sweet shy bean.
Is no one gonna talk about "The Dark Horse"
I thought the same thing
They really couldn’t help themselves💀
This came out when my grandma was four. Surreal.
Horse nr 1: Is Maggie really the 100 to 1 shot?
Horse nr 2: No deary, she is all shot!
Ouch! Lol!
😆😆
I remember hating this cartoon as a child. I thought something along the lines of "If I wanted to watch people standing around talking, I'd watch one of those live-action shows!" Growing up is underrated!
Happy to have stumbled across this, never seen it till today.
This is a great short. The music, the narrator & of course the characters are amazing.
not the racist horse thou
@@Milk-ck1wv I agree, bad taste in that one. It was a product of those times unfortunately.
same
The dark horse is a jump scare
every one of these old cartoons is a game of "at what point is this gonna become overtly racist" and it never fails
Edit: for the record, I’m talking about 5:37- that’s the blatant part
Every time 😭
"Ah... There it is..."
“These horses seem pretty 1920s-30s WASP Ameri-“
5:36
“Ah”
nope never smh
How many have you seen?
This cartoon was released 7 months after the debut of Tom and Jerry.
Brandon Kohout yes this is one of 5 one-shot Cartoons NOT starring Tom and Jerry or Spike and Tyke directed by Willam Hanna & Joseph Barbera and produced by Fred Quimby
@@jamieimai9328 That’s exactly my point.
@@BrandonKohoutUhhh, yeah? He was agreeing with you and adding more to your comment
Love that Maggie has her own Wanted poster in her stable lol
Maggie is one unwanted breed but adorable in her ways
It's crazy seeing the old Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood in animated form. Hollywood Park Racetrack was where SoFi Stadium is now. It was co-owned by Harry and Jack Warner, Samuel Goldwyn, Walt Disney, Humphrey Bogart, Bing Crosby, and Ronald Coleman.
I absolutely love Maggie🌻🍀
I was cheering for her to win to 🎉
She's such a nice horse 🐎
I can relate with hayfever to
Maggie is the best!!! She is her own village and I am here for it. 🥰
Whatever happened between this and then, there's no way this *didn't* play at least SOME finite role in inspiring the MLP series, at least I wouldn't be surprised. This is really, REALLY impressive for the 1930s!
5:39 - Bruh. 💀 There's always gotta be at least a tiny smidgin of *that* in these old ass cartoons. 😂
I know right 😭
For real 💀
I’ve never seen this before in my life til now, yet it’s still super nostalgic and I love it
Maggie is legit adorable. Don't go changing for anyone
the dark horse came so out of left field
How do these horses NOT a trip over those clothes?!?
Very Eligantly.
The animators used human leg anatomy on the hind legs of a horse while resisting the urge to scream at their own frames
love the classic animations, wish we had more of this whimsy again.. WITHOUT THE RACISM PLZ...
That dark horse bit was foul
LITERALLY, i read this, agreed, then It Happened, jolted me out of it so fast
RIGHT, I love these old cartoons they're very simple in a way that seems to allow for a lot of creativity. I just wish they weren't so creative with the racism
@@ALTERADEMINSONS
But their racism is funny too
I wasn't even looking for racism in this and it still had me saying oh c'mon
Gonna tell my kids this was the Brony Fandom
Better than what it actually is
But the fact that one if the horses used to work in a merry-go-round tho 😂😂😂 i loved that
The dark horse caught me off guard XD
That kind of thing would never fly on TV today.
What's wrong with a "dark" horse...
@@oya5638 Meh, i'd say it's comedically stereotypical.
@@kraneiathedancingdryad6333why
@@ReneeCarter-irbythat's what they won't explain
The gossip was so sharply written back then😂
Look how awesome the animation is. Not even CGI can beat it.
but the racism thou
@@Milk-ck1wvthat has nothing to do with the animation, but yeah it’s bad lol
I've only seen Maggie for, like, 2 seconds, and already I love her.
2:49 Maggie is adorable. Ella es mucho mejor que esas yeguas
Thank You!! I've been looking for this wonderful cartoon for weeks!!!!!
Ive been wanting to see it for years saw it in the 90's as a little girl wondering if I'd grow up to be a classy lady like them. nope Im 29 and people call me cute...Im never called beautiful Ive given up on that. I'll deal with cute.
@@LadyLunarellagood thing you didn't end up like them. sexualized,a hypocrite,bully,gossips about others with talent and hopefully you didn't end up racist with the blackface character
@@Milk-ck1wv I did turn out ok. I don’t like gossiping about others. I avoid drama like the Covid. I love my god mother who is African American. I care for all my friends and family. I’d smack any Karen’s for dissing my friends.
For a Hanna Barbera cartoon this is some uncharacteristicly good animation 👌
I mean, they didn’t get their own studio from sitting on their hands… 30s, 40s, and most of the 50s Hollywood had money to burn. Not so much in the 60s on other than a few experimental cult classics. It was mostly seeing what all corners could be cut. That’s why you see a character’s head remain stationary when walking or the jaw doesn’t move while talking
Maggie is a nerdy and shy run away cow winning horse race.
wow, this came out the same year as Snow White! Truly a relic
Why is no one talking about how maggie is not even a horse? She is a cow she even has a cowbell sound when she runs
How come she don't have horns nor a tufted tail?
@@TheNotverysocialMaybe she's part cow
This just appeared in my recommendations, I’m not even sure why I came here and yet I’m entertained
ahh the good old days
"She has hay fever ." of course 😄
Way to go Maggie!
These lovely pretty fillies looks beautiful
Maggie and the narrators are both the MVPs!
rw:just for the record,those gals were all just too into the photo finish in the last lap ,while Maggie was focused
And some people think this attitude only appeared with Instagram.
Quick question, what does rw stand for?
We all love Maggie ^^
Best gal- hope she gets the Best stud for a Husband ;-3
Maggie is such a good girl
Now I know where MLP: FiM got its designs for pony gowns
I just thought it has always been a thing in one of the previous generations.
@@regulate.artificer_g23.mdctlsk True, but this is much older than OG MLP.
Maggie supremacy
nobody gonna talk about how Maggie is a wanted fugitive
Maggie our quirky queen
an icon
All this mares are acting just like Rarity 💎
Except Maggie
