It's surreal seeing a very early Lantz Oswald cartoon being rediscovered along with the clips being restored as well. A lot of the Oswald cartoons that were recovered from being lost were the Disney shorts, but it's great to see that the post Disney stuff is getting the same treatment, I enjoy the early Lantz Oswalds so this was a great find. Congrats to the people who rediscovered this, here's hoping we get more rediscovered Oswald cartoons on the future.
I'm a big Oswald fan! This the first Oswald cartoon with synchronized sound if I'm correct. I really hope the rest of the short & the short's soundtrack gets found some day.

Ham's animation is crudely drawn, but there's usually good acting in it. See, for example, OZZIE OF THE MOUNTED when Pete chokes our Mounted hero and leaves the scene.
Yes, Oswald began really diverging from his Disney/Iwerks design in 1932. By then he was wearing shoes and pants like Mickey Mouse! The cartoons also became less funny by then.
The dining table shot and the turkey's head spazzing frantically are Ham Hamilton. Every other shot is by Tom Palmer sans the scene of the grinder and the feathers coming off, which appear to be by Bill Nolan with an unknown assistant-- Tex Avery? Judging by the thick eye beads and facial posture, Ray Abrams appears to assist Palmer in some shots including the ending.
That is a great (scanning?) - far above most of the preservation of any such things. How many others were done like this? Who do we have to thank for the simple, direct transfer method? Let’s do this with whatever other nitrite reels we can track down! Please and thank you...
Universal Studios actually did the transfer, but I don't know how they did it? I do know that each different scene was separate from one another, and they had to carefully tape/splice them together.
Since a lot of the old silver nitrate film tends to age poorly and it used to be quite common for movie theaters to trash film reels that they no longer were screening.
No, not true. When Disney got the rights to Oswald back, it was only for the Disney years/cartoons and complete rights to the character going forward, if I remember right. The Lantz years/cartoons still belong to Universal.
The Walt Disney Company reclaimed the rights of Oswald on February 9, 2006, but Universal still owns most of the cartoons. Like a piece of Oswald still remains in Universal.

Agreed 100%. The early Lantz Oswalds are wonderful and several are still missing, so it's always great to find lost films from the series.

The first cartoon to have Oswald actually speak. Up to this point. It was slide whistles
First two shots of Oswald and the turkey are animated by Rollin Hamilton.
Many thanks Devon! I'm glad to have an animation expert's comment. What are the telltale signs of Hamilton's work?
Ham's animation is crudely drawn, but there's usually good acting in it. See, for example, OZZIE OF THE MOUNTED when Pete chokes our Mounted hero and leaves the scene.
He draws oswald weird..
What about Cal Howard animation?
This is one of the earlier Walter Lantz Oswald cartoon where Oswald still looks like his original Disney/Iwerks self.
Yes, Oswald began really diverging from his Disney/Iwerks design in 1932. By then he was wearing shoes and pants like Mickey Mouse! The cartoons also became less funny by then.
I. Amanatullah indeed. Oswald as a coochie nabber is far better than the Oscar being a “Merry Old Soul”.

It's sad that the audio remains lost, because we subsequently don't know what Oswald's first words are :(
He said "Okay. How's yours?"
@@user-gw1mr2cs3i those aren't his first words. His first words are in the lost audio of this cartoon.
His first words were apparently “Want some?”
@@RandomCrapIUpload Are you sure those are his first words?
Voices are by Walter Lantz and Bill Nolan according to IMDB
I wanted to see the part where he speaks
It's Silent. but has sound
@@DanzigFan-vq3zf silent print
this cartoon has no sound even tho he says something...I'm still wondering what he said. And btw 2:08 is where he spoke
Oswald try’s to murder a turkey

I'm glad this was found. This is kinda funny
1:09 why did they even invited Pete?
He probably invited himself.
@@iamanatullah So far, he only invited Ortensia.
2 scenes in this are by Hamilton the rest were animated by Tom Palmer
Why is most of the cartoon lost tho?
Since a lot of the old silver nitrate film tends to age poorly and it used to be quite common for movie theaters to trash film reels that they no longer were screening.
why is the eating turkey bit copied?

It's a copy of a transfer created by Universal, which the Corvallis Gazette-Times then uploaded online (in the wrong aspect ratio).
