Goofy Goat Antics (1931)

Here's a rare old cartoon from 1931 (or maybe a little earlier) which was produced by Ted Eshbaugh in his small (and ultimately unsuccessful)California-based studio. The original was an early two-strip color cartoon but all existing copies I've seen are only b&w.

I remember seeing this a few times in the late 1950s as a small child on TV. TV was all black and white back then and you just watched whatever the heck they decided to run. A lot of the cartoons, in retrospect, were pretty “pre-code” in content. (I remember in another one wondering why the ladies were taking off their clothes while they were dancing.) This one really scared me, especially the concertina monster and the pelican’s evil laugh and it getting turned into a parachute. Amazed how well I remembered it. 60 years later it seems even creepier now. The pig lady’s big bare butt and the goats about to make out on the dead bodies of their defeated foes.

Well, this cartoon was originally produced in a process called Multicolor, and was one of the first produced color cartoons. However, that version seems to have been lost.

This is the 16mm "home movie" version distributed by Official Films in the '40s...they never released it in color.

Very nice although I'm more partial to the East Coast N.Y. style cartoons of the Fleischers myself from that same era, Still this was really interesting.

[@EmmanuelGoldsteinINGSOC]

no it wasn't.
There was a color section even in Phantom of the Opera from like the mid 20's but i don't think even that was the first color film.

God, this was a terrible way to rip off Disney.

[@fzcbh4698]

Isn't Disney himself ripped off Felix the Cat and create Oswald then Mickey?🤔
