I watched this many, many years ago so I have periodically found my walking around singling, “Sunshine. Sunshine. It’s just the thing that keeps you feeling fine”
@chuemmmeechuemmmee1347 It's sun worship. I only noticed today that they are saying hail his majesty the sun. Pitiful. The song gets stuck in children's minds and they're so young they don't even know what they're saying! And if they don't go to church, that will be all the god they'll have! THE BLOOD OF JESUS SHALL PREVAIL! ST JOHN 3:16! ❤️✝️❤️ ALL HAIL KING JESUS! JESUS IS RETURNING SOON! HE MADE THE SUN AND THE MOON. JESUS MADE THE STARS ALSO! "ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM; AND WITHOUT HIM WAS NOT ANY THING MADE THAT WAS MADE." JOHN 1:3! 🙏🏼🙌🏼✝️ HALLELUJAH! ✝️❤️✝️
This has always been my favorite little cartoon. Finding the lyrics for it was another thing. After a few hours, I finally think I came up with the complete lyrics. The Sunshine Makers Song - Ted Eshbaugh 1935 A new day is dawning and here is the sun, hail his majesty the sun. 1, 2, 3 ,4, 1, 2, 3 ,4, 1, 2, 3 ,4 The sun is above who fills you with love and shoos your blues away. And we are the ones who bring in the sun and do it every day. Hail his majesty Hail his majesty Hail his majesty the sun. Sunshine! Sunshine! I just love the good old golden sunshine. Sunshine! Sunshine! It’s just the thing to keep you feeling fine. Sunshine! Sunshine! I just love the good old golden sunshine. Sunshine, Bah! Joy, Bah! We're happy when we're sad, we're always feeling bad, How are ya -Terrible -That's fine. We're happy when we're sad. Tra la la la la la la la, Tra la la la la la Tra la la la la la la la, Tra la la la la la I don’t want to be happy; I want to be sad. I don’t want to be happy. . . I want to be happy, I want to be gay I want to be happy and glad, and never again be sad. I never will cry; I never will sigh, ‘cause I want to be glad. He never will cry, he never will sigh ‘cause he wants to be glad. And now the world looks bright and fair, because there’s sunshine everywhere.
Bob A I heard "The sun is the one, who fills you with fun and shoos your blues away." And "Sunshine, Sunshine, I got lots of good old golden sunshine."
Really sharp image, and the color is great. I saw this on TV as a kid, back when TV was in black & white. Wonderful that now people around the world can see what's really a commercial for the Borden Milk Company.
Borden's distributed this as a promotional film AFTER it was originally released as a "Burt Gillett's Rainbow Parade" cartoon (produced by Van Beuren Studios) in early 1935. Apparently, they liked the idea of "bottled sunshine", and tied that into their own dairy products.
Over 60 years ago this was my favorite cartoon, with only one TV channel in those days you could catch it a couple of times a week. Looks great in color!
For anyone who might be too young to know, the bit when the Sunshine Maker reads the note in the empty bottle left on the step and then puts two bottles down? That is what they used to do when milk was delivered to your door in the mornings. They would usually leave one and reclaim the old bottles. But if you left a note asking for more in the empty bottle, then they would leave however many that you required, and your account would be charged extra. Just a little history for you! 😋
As a kid I really liked this cartoon, I thought it was funny, but now... I'm terrified of the lessons I was unconsciously taking in from things like this.
i was trying to think of this for over 20 years i had a lot of these old cartoons back in the 90s and i can only recall certain scenes to a few of them, omg so much nostalgia.
Thanks for posting this! I haven't seen this since i was a child in the 40's in NYC. This brought back many memories. No one is doing cartoons like this anymore. It is and always will be an art form. In my opinion, this is animation at it's best!
Looked this up on a whim (Sunshine Makers). I still remember seeing it when I was little....give or take...about SIXTY years ago. I've seen it over the years...even. bought it for my grand daughter.. but NEVER in such perfect shape.... It's always had a special place in my heart. Thanks so much for preserving 'all the little guys' so beautifully....& that goes for us 'sad guys' too...even WE deserve to be happy sometimes!
LOVE this cartoon! It is trippy in the true sense of the word! I've watched it umpteen times and never get tired of seeing it. Love it from the very beginning (introduction and credits) to the very end. Love the lyrics to the desultory song, "We're Happy when We're Sad" It makes me laugh out loud. The animation is so imaginative and clever!
I love it, too. We kids back in the day just took it at face value. Happy vs gloomy, with lots of pretty colors! Actually, I only saw it in color in recent years; it was originally black and while, but still a favorite with all the kids.
Thanks! I've been looking for this video for years. I remember watching it as a kid so many times but never remembered the name. We used to have it on a tape but it disappeared =(
I don't know if it's about removing negativity so much as "don't go picking fights, trying to forcibly change other people's way of live, or make them as miserable as you feel at a given moment, because if you do, you've lost the right to complain if you get your clock cleaned and then your way of life is changed at the business end of a...bottle of sunshine."
@@SOULRELIEF22 Tom and Jerry and similar cartoons were around for decades, but most knew (or learned *very* quickly) not to go picking fights or causing to much of nonsense based on what they saw. The cartoons of these days also taught some pretty important lessons: in this case, if you pick a fight against someone for a different way of living that yourself, you can't exactly complain if they whallop you then forcibly change your way of life after you tried to do the same to them. I'd argue what we see now has more to do with the opposite: overly soft or indulgent (be it cartoons or influencers) that convince people they can act like fools in order to gain money and attention with no consequence or that all will be well if they just apologize, even if they've done something heinous.
To explain what I was talking about; sunshine is like orange juice because they have it in the morning and is full of vitamin c and it wakes you up.. While I theorize that moonshine (or moonlight) is like milk and it calms you down.
I got that reference... Not that the game seems to be that great. The story idea is great, but the execution of "We Happy Few" is a bit lacking. Maybe they just didn't have enough of a budget, or enough time, to make it well.
Originally produced as part of Burt Gillett's "Rainbow Parade" series for Van Beuren (co-directed by Gillett and Ted Eshbaugh), and initially released in January 1935. Borden Milk later reissued this in 1940 as a promotional film for their dairy products.
I’m here from watching that scene in The Ring 2 where Aiden is watching this cartoon on the television ! 😎. “We’re happy when we’re sad” fit the tone of the scene.
does anyone know the movie that had this video in it. (the movie had all kinds of other stories too like one with a dog that wanted to be a hunting dog and another with a boy with a magic horn and this one guy who wanted to marry this girl so her father made him do all these crazy tests like pick up and count rice grains and some woodland creatures helped him since he was so kind to them before)
In addition to the the explanation earlier, unlike sunshine that is common and abundant in NATURE, moonshine is rare and it can only be cultivate during the full moon where it is the most richest, sweetest, and most creamy and concentrated. And the moonshine has similar affect as SUNSHINE, except it calms you down or relaxes you as sunshine wakes you up,
I honestly prefer the sad guys. at least they were more real. not not mention, those happy guys bombed, attacked, and forced the sad guys to convert. really, the happy go lucky guys were douch bags.
Well my pappy used to tell me: if you don't want to get counter-attacked then don't attack first. A Sadster tried to kill a Sunny and when he got counter-attacked the Sadsters launched an attack en masse and were heading INTO Sunny turf to invade and convert. Simple way to avoid that would have been to live and let live. The fact that you would prefer to live in Sadville is your right as long as you don't attack Sunnyville.- that is not your right and it is certainly not your right to do it with out reprisals.
true, they did attack first, but I still think the happy go lucky guys went a little too far. I mean it was one person who attacked, and they went all nuclear war on them.
MicroNeko GirlPur 4:35 the Sadster rings the bell,and by 5:00 there is a large group of Sadsters who form into a group to do what gets down to them. True the Sunnys then launched an all out counter attack, but it was not in response to one guy and they did seem to be minding their own business. If living your life in peace requires being constantly on the look out for unprovoked aggression, when that aggression comes then why not put an end to the source which is trying to do that to you. Those sad guys aren't just sad and gloomy they are murderous. If the Sunnys had done what the Sadsters did then it would be right to criticize them. Goth is fine, unprovoked violence in the name of Goth is not.
+gnikcohs The sunsine makers were clearly planning an invasion. Look at how prepared they were to carry it out. They already had cannons trained on the sadster's city.
This is a prophetic allegory for the situation between Israel and the Palestinians. A weaker power makes a minor attack of the stronger one, perhaps because the stronger power is encroaching on their territory, and the stronger power responds with a massively disproportionate retaliation, and ultimately annexes the weaker power
I'm a little sad that there are so many comments making this something other than happy vs sad; sunshine vs darkness; love vs hate. That's exactly how we thought of it when we watched it in black and white 60 years ago. Innocence was sweet, and so was this cartoon.
Back in the Fillmore East days, this cartoon was shown in between sets. The reference to sunshine and its acid implications was hilarious. It's still just a great cartoon.
From the first time I watched this, I preferred the grumpy guys, and I was unsettled when they were all drugged and waterboarded until they acted like the sunshine makers.
im 20 right now. i watched this, one about a rooster fighting a duck for a gypsy queen, humpty dumpty, the little train, the three pigs, and one about the fly hotel and another about a barn dance with pigs in a sauna. another on the tea kettle party that goes awry due to a cow, and one about carrots and potatoes/vegetables getting kidnapped by mice + felix the cat. an unorthodox childhood to pay the least.
By, the way the gnomes are the good ones. The sad guys attack one gnome for no reason. He attacks back and they start a war. So yeah. It is still converting them from teenage goth don't come in my room or I'll steal your soul kid to a Willie Nelson fan in Austin, Texas celebrating a garden gnomes party.
Like the toxic positivity is really hard to ignore now that I'm older. It's like, let the sad guys be sad, they were perfectly fine with how they were and the sunshine guys just said, well, we'll make them be happy!
In 1946, Official Films released a 16mm black and white "home movie" edition of "Sunshine Makers" (without the original opening and closing titles) as part of their "Merry-Toon" series. Eventually, it was released by them for television in the 1950's.
Sweet childhood. I never understood what was happening. All a knew was it was colourful there were good guys and bad guys and everyone was happy in the end!
After "Dick Whittington's Cat" there's this cartoon "The Sunshine Makers" and to follow "Neptune Nonsense" in the video titled "Felix the Cat Color Cartoon Hour"
Lily Ledford but the sad guys started it the guy with the bow and arrow tried to kill a happy guy for no reason then they try to take over the happy land soooo the sad people started it
This was a recurring viewing at the Fillmore East, Lower East Side, NYC back in the '60's and '70's. East coast sister to Fillmore West, run by rock impresario Bill Graham. Of course in those days, the word "sunshine" had it's drug connotation. But I thought of it more as a generational statement against the rigidity of "The Establishment."
Get Crazy had this cartoon playing before the concert in the movie. 1935 was definitely a different era from now. Play this on TV today and some SJW will have a melt down.
7:02
i love how the one guy at the end is just like pleading "I wanna be sad!" and the happy dude just socks him in the face
😅😅😅😅well information good show you 😅😅😅

This a beautiful print of this classic toon. Thank you for posting this!
I saw this cartoon at intermission between acts at a Fillmore East concert. Back in the Sunshine acid days.
Alan Arkush, who worked at the Filmore East used a clip from this in his movie Get Crazy (1983).
i was trying to think of this for over 20 years i had a lot of these old cartoons back in the 90s and i can only recall certain scenes to a few of them, omg so much nostalgia.

I want that bus!

Oh, sorry.
I have a DVD that has this cartoon and I got it a long time ago I was probably 2 or 3 years old and I still have it and still watch it
Actually, there's a new documentary using this very same title, and it's all about LSD.

In 1946, Official Films released a 16mm black and white "home movie" edition of "Sunshine Makers" (without the original opening and closing titles) as part of their "Merry-Toon" series. Eventually, it was released by them for television in the 1950's.
Sweet childhood. I never understood what was happening. All a knew was it was colourful there were good guys and bad guys and everyone was happy in the end!
Ever since I was a little kid I've hated those sunshine makers.

After "Dick Whittington's Cat" there's this cartoon "The Sunshine Makers" and to follow "Neptune Nonsense" in the video titled "Felix the Cat Color Cartoon Hour"
the happy guys were forcing their lifestyle onto the sad guys, but they were happy being sad, leave 'em alone :(
We can't be sad all the time, we just need to move on from bad thoughts.
Creepy advert for psychiatric medication. Good old days before WWII, where Cristal Meth was still "Medicine".
WOW what a great cartoon, trying to make people happy, thats really cool! love it! 👍👍🤗
That is just cruel the sad guys should be able to live in peace.
And the nice guys are really the bad ones.
They forced them to be happy that's wrong.
Lily Ledford but the sad guys started it the guy with the bow and arrow tried to kill a happy guy for no reason then they try to take over the happy land soooo the sad people started it

I wonder how exactly Bourden's Dairy approached Van Beuren with the concept for this cartoon.
This was a recurring viewing at the Fillmore East, Lower East Side, NYC back in the '60's and '70's. East coast sister to Fillmore West, run by rock impresario Bill Graham. Of course in those days, the word "sunshine" had it's drug connotation. But I thought of it more as a generational statement against the rigidity of "The Establishment."
omg!!! I haven't seen this cartoon since I was in 3rd grade❤❤
I think this must have been during WWI ..... trying to uplift humanity! thanks 😍😍😍😍
As a kid I thought the special sunshine liquid was milk 😂😂😂
Someone put this on Spotify!
King Penguin agreed !
Saw this at a Grateful Dead show intermission at Radio City Music hall in 1980.
its worrying that it seems like i was one of the few kids to find this absolutely screwed
Get Crazy had this cartoon playing before the concert in the movie. 1935 was definitely a different era from now. Play this on TV today and some SJW will have a melt down.
