omg! i used to have this on a video cassette tape with a bunch of other old cartoons when i was really little! i remember this was my favorite! i went off of mamas little baby loves short nin short nin, mamas little baby loves short nin bread to find it! i remember this! oh gosh those were good times!
"Here, in a marketplace devoted to the devouring of our brethren, we celebrate having been spared for one more day by singing a song dedicated to one who was not so lucky."
we were sooo innocent as to the cartoons we watched. and this one is older than I am by several years!! today's kids tend to like these too, my grandkids do!
I sang it in choir at a church school. So why do left-wing provocatures see "racism" everywhere, even in this song? Could it be because there is so much hatred in thier hearts? Could it be that they bring theri own supply of racism with them?
@@gregbowman4043 probably because lots of people try and hide racism and ignore cartoons like these in favor of "the good old days." this cartoon definitely isn't the WORST as there are far more racist cartoons out there, but this song is still racist and that's how it's gonna be, it's not just those scary left-wing people saying it's racist. give me a break, dude!
There were similar cartoons with this story/theme...One involving candy people and the other involving fruits & vegetables... The songs are Ain't She Sweet and Yes We have No Bananas.
This actually took me back to the days when there were only 7 channels. Remember follow the bouncing ball cartoons? That's how far back I go. Thanks for the memories.
Anyone else sees a resemblance to the tune used in the "Gaston" song from Beauty and the Beast? This particular verse: "No one's slick as Gaston No one's quick as Gaston No one's neck's as incredibly thick" as Gaston
Interesting Max Fleischer cartoon. I remember this famous song on children's favorites volume 2 and hearing in the Donald Duck cartoon 3 for breakfast.
IN-FUCKIN'-CREDIBLE. I'm a 65 yr. old Black man raised in the American South with this song AND this cartoon. I remember them from my childhood. To see them now makes me say we've come soooooo far, bless America's heart. But with Donald Trump & his minions? American still has SUCH a way to go. God help her on our journey!
It's been 50 yrs since I've seen these shorts in theaters. I don't know why some of them can't bring them back. I think people would get a kick out of them. Of course this song couldn't possibly be shown. (Too racist) OK everyone, follow the bouncing ball.
Shortnin' Bread is a bit shorter than the other Screen Songs. Have all the extant versions perhaps been edited for content? I was wondering - were the "mammy" and "chillun" always white, or has this been altered from the original?
Yes, the "mammy" and "chillun" were always white. It was never in any way altered. The only Screen Song to my knowledge that was ever "tampered" was the one called "MacNamara's Band". Sung in the cartoon, "The Emerald Isle", the song was originally aired in its entirety during the early 1960s, then in the mid 60s for some reason the song was removed from the cartoon entirely with no explanation.
"Shortnin' Bread" is a folk song from the 1800s created by the black community. So I don't see it as racist. Unless you're saying black people were racist towards themselves?
Many find everything and everyone to be racist, but ignore the one reflected in their own mirror. It is an old-time song to entertain children, not the marching chant of BLM members, who are the epitome of racism circa 2017.
Though I'm only in my mid 20s, I grew up on old stuff like this. Really nothing compares.
Same friend.

It doesn't get any better than classic cartoons.

"Feed dem chillun on short'nin' bread!"
Feed all dem chillun's
Great memories I used to watch stuff like this as a kid. Thank you
Mammy's little baby loves shortnin' bread!
Dot Warner: That tune sure is catchy.
Yet slightly racist.
"Here, in a marketplace devoted to the devouring of our brethren, we celebrate having been spared for one more day by singing a song dedicated to one who was not so lucky."
Me too. I still have them someplace. These songs are still good no matter how old you are.
we were sooo innocent as to the cartoons we watched. and this one is older than I am by several years!! today's kids tend to like these too, my grandkids do!
I have enjoyed singing along to Short'in Bread. Such memories and great history.
I sang it in choir at a church school. So why do left-wing provocatures see "racism" everywhere, even in this song? Could it be because there is so much hatred in thier hearts? Could it be that they bring theri own supply of racism with them?

Why is nobody talking about how we literally saw three cookies fall to their death?
then casually singing about a dead child happily😬
@@kittybaskinginthesun285 i don’t think he was dead. Slangs during these times were used commonly
@@kittybaskinginthesun285'mos dead meant almost dead.
The smallest shortening bread with the deepest voice still sounds scary
Then you don't want to hear mine. I have the same deep voice.
It's funny 😂
Doesn’t sound scary to me.
well I be it's the desserts from Little Audrey's cartoon where she helped the gingerbread man get married to Angel food cake
😊😊
0:56 I remember that part as a kid. It was rather catchy.
We use to sing that in Elementary school in the 70's.
Child's literally dead......
Doctor. Nothing a little shortnin bread can't fix
No, 'mos dead. Almost dead.
Very very great cartoon!!! Thank you:)

I too had this on a VHS tape, kinda did not like this song then, but kinda like it now.
The 1950's NTA logo is included on both the opening and closing titles of this and other pre-50 Paramount cartoons.
Yeah, remastered for television broadcast. We weren't ever to see the original Paramount mountain opening.

Some of the later Paramount's Screen Songs were owned by Harvey Comics.
Interesting Max Fleischer cartoon. I remember this famous song on children's favorites volume 2 and hearing in the Donald Duck cartoon 3 for breakfast.
Oh!! Jeez. Cartoons have changed so much nowadays. I remember watching these kinda of cartoons at my grandma's house, though.
:) :) :) I love this old classic stuff!

Wow, this is taking me back. I saw this once as a six year old.
Simitar Entertainment Presents Sing-Along with Little Lulu Only
This theme of giving inanimate objects and animals in the 30s and 40s gives me Animal Farm vibes.
i just remember when Will sings this in one of the end scenes in fresh prince lol
I swear, the boy at 5:00 sounds like an old man from Family Guy.

You may be thinking of either "Tarts and Flowers" or "Butterscotch and Soda".
@chuckbyf1 I agree chuck. although this is older than I am, I remember seeing it as a child. my grandkids like these oldies too and they are 4 and 5
I finally found it
At 2:23, I think it says "delight", not "green light". I think.
2:24
CC should read "delight" not "green light."

I found a Baroness Von Bon Bon reference while others react to Cookie Carnival.
Oh nice I found cuphead fan :D
It's kinda creepy to think all these sentient condiments will most likely be sold off in a day or two, and... you know, EATEN.

I came here for 0:56.
Omfg you don't have to be born in the 1940s to see this!!! There's tv and the internet. Wow you people have no common since
Hell's bells, These had to have been on VHS, even at some point. I have faint memories of this piece on a VHS we had/(still have?)
I have it on DVD.
@@GlennSimpkins Me too! I was born in '88 and have very vivid memories of watching this exact cartoon as a kid. I'm 99% sure it was from VHS
Does anyone else remember cartoon character Dudley Doright's fabulous tenor rendition of "Shortnin' Bread"?
steve baker Talking desserts?
Shortnin' Bread is a song sung by colored folk. Those white bread kids look so out of place.
It's been 50 yrs since I've seen these shorts in theaters. I don't know why some of them can't bring them back. I think people would get a kick out of them. Of course this song couldn't possibly be shown. (Too racist) OK everyone, follow the bouncing ball.

Winston Sharples Cartoons from WGN-TV’s Bozo’s Circus
Does anyone know where I can find the two Screen Songs (shown as "Noveltoons) titled "Detouring Thru Maine" and "Readin' Ritin' and Rhythmetic"?
Shortnin' Bread is a bit shorter than the other Screen Songs. Have all the extant versions perhaps been edited for content? I was wondering - were the "mammy" and "chillun" always white, or has this been altered from the original?
Yes, the "mammy" and "chillun" were always white. It was never in any way altered. The only Screen Song to my knowledge that was ever "tampered" was the one called "MacNamara's Band". Sung in the cartoon, "The Emerald Isle", the song was originally aired in its entirety during the early 1960s, then in the mid 60s for some reason the song was removed from the cartoon entirely with no explanation.
Why do I only see the NTA Prints.
You list the copyright year as 1948, but the video says 1950.
The line says one is sick in bed and the other one is dead! Doesn't that mean anything to the kids who are listening to this?
He's not dead, it is revealed later that his eyes had been shut like he'd been dead. Listen to the rest of the song and you would know this.
Bob Builder I remember Bugs Bunny sing this song
It's a little sad.
Why can’t they make stuff like in the old days
Sup
i'm puking
Would anyone know the low note at the end?
It's a D
is this from back in the olden days????people????
Could be.
The war that ended in 1945?
I think that's when they dropped Hiroshima and Nagasaki or the stop of the Japan war I think either those two
Wasn't there a Little Audry cartoon simular to this?
Yes, "Tarts and Flowers" it was called.
Is this creativity or the result of hallucinogenic drugs?
+Michael Degtyarev Pre-Vietnam = creativity. That and the long-lost art of making as many corny puns as possible.
True, especially pertaining to music and television programs.
@Shidyk Holy crap you're old!

More NTA print issues.
Nowadays, if you sang this song, you'd be in trouble from people accusing you of racism.
how old are u people
Older than dirt kid

Thank you for posting this important reminder that racism has been pervasive, even in cartoons, since Jesus was knee-high to a grasshopper.
"Shortnin' Bread" is a folk song from the 1800s created by the black community. So I don't see it as racist. Unless you're saying black people were racist towards themselves?
That's not a racist song, is it?
No bro. This is different, they changed the lyrics. Nothing racist has been yelled here
I don't see anything racist except "mammy"
every time I see black people I think of this song
Heil Wolf That was a reflection of your ugly ass inner self.
this is racist
