Wow, thanks for posting this. I have read about it, but never seen it. The film is really well done, Bray could really draw. Just to be clear, there were no cels used for this film, at least not in the way folks think of cels, and more than likely no cels at all. This is Bray's second attempt at a cartoon, the first time he gave up, retracing the backgrounds for every drawing was just too much work. This film utilizes his first animation patent where the background is drawn once, and duplicated many times on sheets of paper, then the animators draw over the background. That way the background stays the same throughout, and doesn't waver like the McCay films. Thanks so much for posting this.
You're very welcome. Correct, this was done entirely with rice paper. A newly restored and scored version, using a 35mm source print, is now available on my Cartoon Roots: The Bray Studios-Animation Pioneers Blu-ray/DVD combo (see my other videos for a trailer)
Thanks for the info. things are a little tight this month, but I will order from Amazon as soon as I can. The restoration work on Bray's first completed film looks amazing.
I think this is one of the very first pieces of animation to show the thought process of a character, and they make it very clear to the viewer want he wants. The dachshund wants a sausage, he can’t reach it, he thinks about how to get up there, and solves his problem by using the shelves to make a staircase. It’s something we as audiences easily take for granted, and yet it’s essential for great character animation to work!
Yes. I have been in a long transitionary period with regard to archiving and distributing these films and hope to have more and better quality material available to the public starting next year.
Super B. That dachshund was one of the best drawn critters I've ever seen in cartoons, it was a pure pleasure to watch. It would have been even stronger without the dream frame, but it was really great. Profuse thanks CoF.
I've seen some old Paramount cartoons that carried a notice that said they were made under the Bray-Hurd process or something to that effect. I don't know anything about Hurd, but I read a couple of articles about John Bray back in the '70's when his animation company that did industrial-technical animation by that time, was still in business in New York.
It's the most rarest of them all animation, it's too bad for the actual original film never got a chance to fully restore to its priceless treasure particulary, but personaly no offense at all.

Inspiration ✍🏾👀💯♥️
Wow, I haven't seen this in almost 20 years! I saw it in my History of Animation class!
Hey, that's the course I'm taking right now! I'm watching this for an assignment. :D
@@postnutclareity Awesome! Concordia University?
J R Bray was the inventor of cel animation.
No Disney, MGM, Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, anime... etc.
*GOOD!!!*
i was watching a disney silly symphoney cartoon which had a notice that said "licensed under bray-hurd patents ". wonder when the patents expired.
And suddenly, a seemingly inoffensive cartoon of early animation turns into what seems to be inspiration for "Happy Tree Friends" O_O.
Cut-out technique is older than cel technique.
It's been nearly three years. Is a better copy still "pending"?
Invented by Earl Hurd, co-patented by Bray, I believe.
it was in south africa
Satyendra
Who is the group that plays the music?
Manolito Aguirre unfortunately I don’t know
@@cartoonsonfilm ok, thanks :)
Like that comment if you want to vomit after seeing the plan at 3:26.
better than latest animation
