Out For A Stroll
Tom and Jerry play with a baby in the park in this cartoon by George Ruffle and Frank Sherman.
It's not MGM's famous cat and mouse. It's a Mutt-and-Jeff sort of series from Amadee van Beuren's cartoon factory. At first it looks like a cheap and sloppy cartoon, with primitive character design and sound. Here it is 1933, and Van Beuren is still in the era of synchronized cartoons, just as they had been since the company produced sound cartoons before Walt Disney. Yet if you stick with this cartoon, you will discover a remarkable number of amusing gags, as well as fish and birds straight out of (much later) Doctor Seuss books.
Van Beuren's factory tended towards cheap production. In cartoons, that meant cutting down on the in-betweeners. It didn't mean the gags, and this absurd series was among the studio's best product, and still very watchable almost eighty years later.
