Back when cartoons were aimed at adults, not kids. I remember some of the Flip the Frog cartoons when something went wrong, Flip looked at the camera and said "Damn!" Not censored on 1950's TV either.
Flip says "Damn!" after falling down the stairs in "Room Runners" and something similar in at least one other short. "Room Runners" also has its share of near nudity and spicy innuendo...lol ua-cam.com/video/PL0ze_tp_dg/v-deo.html
@@michiganjfrog Thanks! Checking it out now. In fact, I'm gonna watch your entire "Pre-code" series! Great stuff! A fascinating time in cinematic history.
You'd be surprised. There have always been so many people looking to make it into movies that "in-betweeners" (those who drew the majority of the frames in cartoons) were often treated as disposable assets. Sure, there was less risk of injury than working on a farm or an assembly line, but the hours were long and the demands high - and those who complained didn't last long. I very nearly went into animation, just before computers made in-betweeners largely obsolete. It may be a bridge too far to say "good riddance" (I'm sure it put bread on tables that might have otherwise been lacking), but I'm glad I never had to walk that path.
Have to remember the bread & butter theatre goers were adults and the toons reflected that, wasn't until late 40s early 50s the audience became kids a lot of fun pokes in these
It was a commentary on censorship. The Animaniacs were contsantly trying to bring back that 20s craziness and fun, but got psycho-analyzed, slapped and arrested at every turn. And none of the characters understood the instructions handed down that they needed to be educational. The trio's best attempt was the Wheel of Morality, which randomly assigned a morale to their antics retroactively at the end of the episode. Pretty brilliant I think
I loved watching the Animaniacs with my son, along with Ren & Stimpy. Before he was born, there was the "Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat" which were very reminiscent of these old cartoons from the 30's. I found them on VHS so he got to watch that crazy stuff too. "Barney" the dinosaur was banned in my house! That crap rots kids brains and insults their intelligence!
Wow, I'm surprised anyone would think that show was a bad influence. I don't mean this in any kind of disrespectful way; I'm just curious: was your mom very religious? Maybe very conservative?
Glad you enjoyed it. Usually when I'm watching a pre-Code, cartoon or otherwise, I'll note anything that is either pre-Code-ish, or, at least, amuses me. I'll then up load the video to my Mac and grab the portion I noted and put it in a timeline in iMovie. When I have enough for a video, I stitch them together. The editing is by far the most fun. Thanks again.
You could have used just about anything from "Lady Play Your Mandolin" (1931 Merrie Melodies) in this. The entire cartoon is about drinking and getting drunk. Pre-code cartoons were crazy.
@@rasputout7330 Well, back in the 1930s they didn't do implants because the technology didn't exist yet. Here's a photo of Mae from back then -- they're quite real. (Note: aside from being a [retired] computer engineer, I'm also a digital artist and can tell this image hasn't been altered.) static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2019/09/mae-west-1280.jpg
Prohibition was declared a failure in 1933, the Hays Code came in in 1934. If drinking can't be controlled then it, and other morally questionable activities, can be prevented from being shown on the screen.
Many years ago, I saw a Betty Boop documentary on public television. It showed that even back to her earliest appearances, there was almost always a shot where her hemline rose up her hips, and then they paused that scene at the very moment where the cartoonists drew in a single frame of Betty Boop bush.
1:53 These are my favorite. Girl one is just moving with grace and beauty, while her servant follows behind her and gives her modesty, Girl two is just popping off, she don't gaf if you're attracted to her or not Girl three is just chilling with the monkeys after a long day
Interestingly, after the code was developed cartoonists still found ways to put homosexual characters into their shorts (and a lot of them weren't judgmental but just were just having fun).
I watched TV in the 1950's and actually remember a few of these. Betty showed her bra and men explicitly lusted after her in quite a few and Flip the Frog said "Damn" in most of them.
These wer shown in theaters as part of a program. They were meant for adults, but for years after TV was popular they would show these on very early morning TV cartoons. People weren't PC crazy in the 50s and 60s.
Really? People couldn't even show toilets in bathrooms, had to use twin beds for married couples, couldn't show belly buttons, had strict censorship of language, and lets not even get started on people with differing skin pigmentation interacting. Your idea of "pc" is basically "people won't let me be an asshole without calling me out on it, waaaaaaaa!"
How else were we to learn acceptable behavior while mom took care of the house and dad on a ship some where?. Early TV was the new unpaid babysitter and telecast most all of these.
These cartoons are kinda mild more on the suggestive side of things. Back then though these tunes were hot to trot. I was in love Betty Boop, but who wasn't.
This is a good reminder that the whole “woke” culture is not a new thing There was a huge wave of social mores being stretched during the 1920s and 30s too. And back then, much like now, there was a huge conservative reaction to it. It’s interesting to look at what happened back then and seeing it play out again
These are the cartoons my grandparents would have watched. The world was a different place. And in a 100 years will people look at today's cartoons any less harsh? Probably not.

Cartoons were meant to humour our children in an adult world! Their entertainment! They are growing up too fast! Unsupervised! 😥 My Mom let us watch them on Saturdaymorning While she put away the groceries! Television was for "Family Entertainment". Today? There's a television in every room. A break down in communication! In Family Unity! Bring back the great cartoons if only for a day. Once day out of the week. And Watch. . .and See!❤
Yes. The mice were never seen again after that. You can actually watch those cartoons on UA-cam though. Just type Milton Mouse Van Beauren studio and it should be able to pop up.
I am old. Back when Howey Doody was the biggest kiddie TV before the Mickey Mouse Club local TV had hours to fill during the day. So we saw old stuff. Our Gang and Flash Gordon over and over And racy cartoons. Did I really see Betty Boop swimming without undies? Yes!
Boop was originally a dog (a sexy-ish dog), who was going to be Fleischer regular, Bimbo’s companion. She’s basically a caricature of Helen Kane. Kane, herself, imitated the African American singer from the late 20s, Baby Esther [Jones].
Its thanks to Mae west. Marylyn Monroe,, Jane Mansfield. Lena Turner, Shelley Winters. Elisabeth Taylor, Ann Margaret. Elizabeth Fraiser. Got the their start in the 1st place
As a very little kid in the late 1950s, I also was made uneasy by the very earliest sound cartoons that were on TV then, like Bosko. The exaggerated perspective, the tinny voices - too strange, particularly compared to the excellence of the 1940s Warner Bros. cartoons that were on then as well.
These were made back when animation was relatively new and cartoonists were experimenting...with style, sound/visual sync, and, if the rumors here are correct, drugs. As an aside: pre-code Betty Boop was ugly as sin and constantly had what we would now call "wardrobe malfunctions."
Thanks! I had never seen a Willie Whopper cartoon but I always had assumed they were in black and white. And I see now that the other clip is from "Farmer Al Falfa's Ape Girl"!
I think Joan Blondell epitomizes the pre-Code era, which is why I have a picture of her introducing all of my pre-Code videos.

Yeah, you have to be 100+ to remember these from when they were released l😅
Back when cartoons were aimed at adults, not kids. I remember some of the Flip the Frog cartoons when something went wrong, Flip looked at the camera and said "Damn!" Not censored on 1950's TV either.

The 20s, and 30s was a weird time for cartoons.
Cannabis and opium were still legal then
They were starting out, that's why.
And remember folks, these cartoons were drawn one frame at a time. Probably several thousand for each film reel. Talk about job security
You'd be surprised. There have always been so many people looking to make it into movies that "in-betweeners" (those who drew the majority of the frames in cartoons) were often treated as disposable assets.

Ahhhhh! The good ole’ days, when cartoonists could do what they wanted.
Except hire non-whites.
Actually, a lot of Disney cartoonists got away with some sneaky stuff.
Not literally.
They can too nowadays. Helluva Boss maybe not a good example but its one of it.
Have to remember the bread & butter theatre goers were adults and the toons reflected that, wasn't until late 40s early 50s the audience became kids a lot of fun pokes in these
This is what goes on in my head when I zone out.
Those Pre-Code cartoons had a delicious naughtyness in them.
That's right. Just what I haven't perceived in some cartoons from nowadays. Mostly the ones with toilet humor (eww) included.
DRAG QUEENS , GAY COPS , CROSSDRESSERS , DRINKING BOOZE. AH THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS. L.O.L..
Saigokun. That what made them more beautiful

Cartoons weren’t made for children back then, hence the adult content.
I appreciate my vintage cartoons pre codes and all lol
This is fun to see.

Cute.

Ralph bakshi would have a lot of fun if he was an animated in the pre hays code time era
and so would John Kricfalusi
Sex-alcoholics-gays-racism: it’s all in there !! 😂
I could’ve done without the gays
Mae West: the original THICC queen
Queen is a good word since she turned out to be a transvestite in these cartoons
And yet in real life Mae West wasn't a transvestite.
Gustav Meyrink how so
May West did her last movie when she was 84 years old, playing the part of a seductive spy.

When people ask me why I watch classic cartoons.
the wayback machine was working over time to find these :))
Did anyone else catch that dig at Ghandi?
Quite a few younger viewers probably missed it, not having any idea who Gandhi was. It's good to be reminded that the man wasn't universally loved.
Duh.
Sarah Gray what would hillary say " gas station"
Ghandi was topical then.
Yes, I did.
Good to see Betty!
I LOVE PRE-CODE ❣️
Was that Harvey Weinstien with Betty towards last?
lol
Possibly. And, in fact, probably!!
Yes that would have been Harvy Boopsteen.
Always been run by that kind.
probably a nod to Louis Mayer, notorious head of MGM.
The two cops at 4:22 remind me of the Blue Meanies from the Beatles' Yellow Submarine
This reminds me of my grandparents.
Naughty but NOT Raunchy. Love these cartoons. I think I saw Oswald the Lucky Rabbit with Felix the Cat
...a teenager's dress falling down doesn't fit your definition of raunchy?
These are outrageous. Guilty pleasure!

i wonder what these animators would think about how far animation has advanced
Advanced? They haven't advanced, just the opposite!
2D animation peaked in the 30’s and 40’s so they probably saw the best it had to offer
-Cartoon cells were hand drawn then. Now, a computer does the 'work'. No comparison.
@@thomasjewell7728Computer animation is still pretty hard, people who say otherwise are tripping

Yeah, same here. I was born in '59, so we grew up in the same era. 👍✌
Remember those cartoons, they were the best!
A coupla wierd scenes there. Some things just don't change - or they DO!
Interestingly, after the code was developed cartoonists still found ways to put homosexual characters into their shorts (and a lot of them weren't judgmental but just were just having fun).
I don't know. Kinda seems like they were "homophobic" jokes then, just as you'd process them as "homophobic" if they were made today.
"Not judgmental but just having fun." So you mean Gay...
Virtue signal noted, 5 years later.
And by fun you mean laughing at them?
