Hi, can I suggest you contact me through my website? I can give you a lot more info about 28mm projectors etc - easier than cramming it into RUclips comments. I’m at www.christopherbirdfilms.co.uk

That’s amazing. What format is it? 28mm? Very few people are set up to scan this format. Even the BFI can’t scan 28mm. A friend at the Cinema Museum in London did the scan for me, so try them if you are in the UK, and please keep me posted. This is a lost film, so anything else that turns up is exciting.

Hi, I think I have found the 5th reel of this, in good condition. I would like to copy it, what is the best way to do this and preserve the film? Ian

Thank you !! Charles Ray's films are hard to come by .

What other treasures might Mr. Wyatt have left?

Thanks so much for uploading this film. Have been searching for any and all film footage for Mark Hamilton who has a few parts in the film at 33:33 , 37:17, 42:17 , and at the epilogue. I never thought in my lifetime this would be found and the whole time it was in Wyatt's collection. Thanks again to Dave for the scan and Rob for the english translations. Who would have known. Dana (Mark Hamilton's grandson).

Thanks so much for posting this treasure. Bessie Love is sensational.

Thank you for uploading this - lost silent films are so precious to find and I can't imagine the hard work on the restoration.

Nice one Chris! Glad to see it available now. The transfer is a good upgrade on the one that was provided for translating the titles 😅

For an 8mm print, I think it looks pretty good! Thanks for the upload and sharing it!

👍 Thanks for uploading!

Thank you ! Just what I needed after reading 'news' stories. Wonderful !

THANKS for this

Absolute Gold !!! Thanks so much for posting.

Rudolph Dirks created the Katzenjammer Kids for William Randolph Hearst papers. Dirks left and took the kids with him under a new title, Captain and the Kids. But Hearst still had the rights to the first strip and hired another artist to continue it. They both ran in different papers for decades.

imagine if a Pixar-like movie was made of this.

I can see Popeye, Dr. Seuss and Robert Crumb in this. I haven't seen The Katzenjammer Kids since I was a little kid in the Fifties. My Mother and grandmother used to take me to see my Great-Aunt, and I was allowed to read comics there. I think there was also Dagwood & Blondie. Thanks, Auntie Mim.

I'm not sure of the history of cartoons, but this must fit in somewhere there. As such, it was interesting to see it. Thanks.

The movie looks way better, than the title cards. Could it be that you combined a foreign version with the English title cards?

They look like Max and Moritz from Wilhelm Busch.

These are Hans and Fritz, the Katzenjammer Kids. I remember when I was very young there was a box of old, old comics in my grandmother's basement and the K Kids were in there. If that box and those comics were still around .. well, I guess most of us growing up back then have got a similar story. What great old books!

I'm old because my mom refered to my brother and me as the kat a jammr kids . She was born 1915.

In 1918 my mother was nine years old. The K kids and their antics were a great favorite of hers always. They were still in the funny papers when l was growing up too, in the 1960’s. It was great to come across this cartoon. Thank you.

My grandmother used to play piano for silent movies in Portland Oregon.

Moral of the story: Use rum to calm down an angry wildcat.

That was very entertaining and funny thank you 👍😂

The original artist was Rudolph "Rudy" Dirks. His son John Dirks eventually took up the mantle.

How absolutely charming , many thanks .

In 1918, they were not called the Katzenjammer Kids. The strip name was changed to The Shenannigans, due to the anti-German sentiment during WW I. The original name came back after the war.

Didn't Hitler exile them to a Pacific desert island because the boys were too mean for even him?

What a great cartoon! Do you have any info as to the studio that produced it (i.e., who was John Tippetf?), who the animators were, etc....?

2:45 So that's where Jerry Lee Lewis learned to play piano!

4:14 The big finish!

Based on the original naughty kids and spanking adult strip . Where would the Beano and the Dandy be without the Germans?

The chap playing the piano at 2:45 looks like Mr. Natural's father.

Fun!

Why in the world did they paint those hideous looking eyebrows on Harry Pollard? Didn't he have any of his own.

It is so unusual to see W.S. Hart as a Maya

This is really incredible early footage of Basil, thank you for sharing!!

Great book. Nicely done adaptation. Wonder if Thomas Hardy (who was still alive when it was produced) viewed this film...And, many thanks for the upload!

a very strange thing just happened on this video. at about 3:12 the picture froze but the music kept playing. since the music kept playing i thought the picture would correct itself but it never did. weird. i went back annd rewatched it and everything functioned fine. why does weird stuff always happen to me?

Odvratno.

Seeing it in black & white & silent really makes you feel that you are in the Georgian era. A film made today would completely lack that sense of time....

I have this on two reels of 9.5mm cine film - inherited from my Grandfather. I have no projector though, so it's nice to see the film on here.
