- Here is one of Paul Terry's several Aesop's Fables cartoons in which Farmer Alfalfa is playing Noah. Some 450+ cartoons were produced as part of the silent Aesop's series, which ran from 1921 through 1929. Many cartoons in the series featured Farmer Alfalfa, while others did not.
The version seen here was retitled by TV distributor Commonwealth, in the 1950s, and stock music was added as well. 16mm print and SD reference copy courtesy of the Stathes Collection.

For nearly 20 years, the Cartoons On Film team has been locating and reuniting rare 16mm and 35mm prints of these cartoons, and we've also been collecting hi res scans of prints in other collections. Cartoons On Film's long term plan has always been to restore and rerelease most, if not all of the surviving examples-which number in the hundreds. We look forward to releasing the first batch of these new restorations in the near future.

Just watch it with the sound off. This is definitely one of the funniest of the Farmer Al cartoons. I laughed out loud the whole time.
This narration added later was a terrible, unnecessary choice
nice that sound and sound effects were added and also a narrator.
Oh, and the reason it's labeled "Shenandoah" was that was the name of the U.S. Navy's zeppelin, which would crash later on in 1926.
Wait a second... someone please tell me if I've got this right - The silent content of the Aesop's series comprises about 550 cartoons? And it ran for about 9 years? That would mean they released a new cartoon about every 6 days - how did they do that?
There was no color and no sound back then; it could be done if there were enough people on hand
A peg-leg Farmer Al? Noice.
In a way, it's a bit like when Chaplin films were re-released with new titles trying to make jokes. Unnecessary, and distracting. Be kind to yourself and turn the sound off.
I have been trying to find the name of the musical piece starting at 4:11 for a long time.
"Escape in the Night" by Roger Roger, from the Valentino library. The track I wish I knew here was that first tune heard after the opening fanfare, at about 0:15.
@@evanschad1006 Oh thank very much indeed! I purchased The Valentino Vol. ! but cannot find Vol 2. But I will go find and get what you posted.
And the song heard at 0:55 is "Rustic Flirtation", scored by Roger Roger too
