18:15 This part has been living in my head ever since my US history class in middle school was shown this film. Vaguely remembering Sterling Holloway's voice and the phrase "WAS IT ELECTRICITYYYY", but now I can say I've found it again!
I love it when Thomas Jefferson is reading the Declaration. Amose's contribution, though unwillingly, spurred him to create one of the greatest documents in American history. His speech in delivering the Declaration of Independence was very powerful. Almost moved me to tears.
Comparing this to the crap Disney puts out today, is what brought tears to my eyes. That and the fact Disney would not show this to children of this age, that instead they would say all sorts of negative things about it. And how the Constitution is treated now, just made me sick to my stomach. If only those founding fathers could come back now and save our country once again. When Ben said “the King was unreasonable” I thought “Biden was unreasonable”, it’s time revolutionary history repeated itself, but this time the evil King is right here on our own soil, and he is taxing us to death. Where is Ben and Amos when we need them now? 😏😉🙁
When he said he was born and raised in Philadelphia, I of course heard: In West Philadelphia born and raised, On the playground is where he spent most of his days...
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school When a couple of guys who were up to no good Started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
Ben and Me is a 1953 American animated two-reel short subject produced by Walt Disney Productions and released theatrically on November 10, 1953. It was adapted from the children's book written by author/illustrator Robert Lawson and first published in 1939. founding father Benjamin Franklin, the book, with illustrations by Lawson, focused more heavily on actual historical events and personages, and included incidents from Franklin's French career at Versailles. The short received an Academy Award nomination for Best Short Subject, Two-reel. It was released in VHS format under the Walt Disney Mini-Classics label in 1989 and was later released on DVD as a short film in the "Disney Rarities" volume of the Walt Disney Treasures collection. It was also released on DVD in 2012 under the Disney Generations Collection.
I like that Winnie the Pooh narrated the video. I'm surprised that he didn't step away for a "smackle of honey." A mouse invented bifocals and the Franklin Stove?!! I'll stop trapping them and letting them go outside!
Ahh this takes me back to 4th grade in 1981..When it rained and we couldnt go out for recess the school would make us go to the auditorium and watch this movie..you would think it would of gotten old watching this but it didnt..I always looked forward to it!.Great memories!..
@@LadyGreyBlack Course we do! Some of us take great appreciation to voice actors. When I heard Thomas Jefferson's voice I smiled like an idiot knowing it was the same guy that did Captain Hook, the Grinch from the Halloween special, and the Shadow from Faeries.
I just remembered this tonight. Haven't seen it since I was around 5 years old at some point in the 80s. At the time I had little idea of what it was about. Yet the speech at the end gave me chills even then, even though I didn't understand it completely. I guess America is in my blood and always has been.
I looked up sunrise & sunset times in Philadelphia. A sunrise at 6:22 with a sunset at 7:43 corresponds to August 25, daylight time, which Franklin championed. No snow on the ground that time of year!
And there was no snow on the ground in the segment where Amos was out gathering news for Franklin's newspaper, even though the film clearly showed a big snowstorm just before Amos met Franklin. How could there be snow everywhere on the night that Amos happened upon Ben Franklin's place of business and then there's no snow at all later that same night?
Bill Peet wrote this story! My grandpa on my dad's side is Dennis Peet, cousin of Bill Peet. I never met Bill because he lived in California, but he was super close with my grandpa's brother. Bill Peet said he enjoyed his own stories more than his day job which was working for Walt. He said Walt was a cocksucker lol. Bill also did 101 Dalmatians and Sword and the Stone. :) Super cool, huh?
Yes, he earned that recognition. He also had a brother who otherwise kept the original surname his family had, George Peed, he was known for his record covers for Peter Pan and other illustrated work. rateyourmusic.com/list/monocle/the_album_art_of_george_peed/
Benjamin Franklin has always been one of my favorite historical figures. I'm glad there are cartoons like this about him. 😊 Wish they made a Ben Franklin emoji that would be cool.
Just a wonderful return to my youth ... This was one of my favorite Rain Day Movies shown at Recess... Thanks for taking me back, couldn't stop smiling the entire time.. Cheers from Westminster CA 🇺🇸
I might have a theory that in between 1752 (the year Ben tested the kite experiment) and 1776, Amos may have gotten married with children and prior to 1776 that his wife probably died at some point after the children moved away.
Has anyone ever noticed how cartoon mice act like humans more than any other animal? Still this was a fun show, but they also should have shown Amos going to France with Ben to help Ben get the France's support to help us fight the British.Maybe George Washington had some kind of bird to help him in the revolutionary war.
The edible dormouse (Glis glis) was considered a delicacy in ancient Rome, either as a savoury appetizer or as a dessert (dipped in honey and poppy seeds). The Romans used a special kind of enclosure, a glirarium, to raise and fatten dormice for the table. It is still considered a delicacy in Slovenia and in several places in Croatia, namely Lika, and the islands of Hvar and Brač. Dormouse fat was believed by the Elizabethans to induce sleep since the animal put on fat before hibernating. In more recent years dormice have begun to enter the pet trade, though they are uncommon as pets and are considered an exotic pet. The woodland dormouse (Graphiurus murinus) is the most commonly seen species in the pet trade. Asian garden dormice (Eliomys melanurus) are also occasionally kept as pets.
1:02 the men who built that statue of Benjamin Franklin couldn't have possibly built that little mouse statue of Amos on the top of Ben's hat, cause they couldn't have possibly known about Amos, it had to have been built by mice
Amos sounded a lot like Winnie the Pooh, Kaa and the Cheshire cat. With Jefferson I heard Capt. Hook. Also who came up with daylight savings Ben or Amos?
That’s Hans Conried as Jefferson. Also Bill Thompson (Smee from Peter Pan, the White Rabbit and Dodo from Alice and Droopy among other voices) as Governor Keith and the Tour Guide at the beginning and end.
@@AnimationNation2004he should have done the same for John Adams if he appeared because he made Jefferson write the document. Speaking of which, Conried and Thompson would have reteamed again to voice history’s famous two frenemies
Amos does like Jaq and a few other mice from Cinderella which, funnily enough, released just three years before Ben and Me. And also, not to mention at 1:49-2:06, reuses the same Lucifer the Cat animation.
I remember seeing this for the first time in a Christian grade school. If only the headmaster there knew that Ben Franklin was a boozing, womanizing snuff hound and party guy in real life, not this bumbling, good natured happy-go-lucky guy portrayed here. Congratulations to Disney for keeping fantasy alive.
Maybe it's just me, but I swear Amos Mouse sounds quite a lot like Winnie the Pooh (aka Sterling Holloway), and Thomas Jefferson sounds quite a lot like George Darling and Captain Hook (aka Hans Conreid) from Walt Disney's "Peter Pan." Was that Sterling Holloway voicing Amos Mouse and Hans Conreid voicing Thomas Jefferson?
Wow. This must a great short that Hans Conried did great as our third president, Thomas Jefferson. Also at 14:32, these guys (don't know who are their names, but please help) remind of Human Cogsworth and Lumiere, from Beauty and the Beast, who could have wore the outfits similar to those men, which is one of my complaints for the animated Beauty and the Beast since that film took place in the 18th Century. Except the only difference is that the guy in the right resembling Lumiere is short and the fat one on the left resembling Cogsworth is tall. Maybe Keith could have been a bit shorter like Cogsworth and Palmer taller like Lumiere. That's one error I have for this short. Amos reminds me of Jaq from Cinderella as well. I wish John Adams and John Hancock appeared and if they did then Bill Thompson and Marvin Miller could have given a shot as the Bostonians.
When I was little and I seen this I believed that we all had a little friend by are side that no one else can see but you and this was back before I learned about the awful truth about the man completely ruins your childhood idea. That the things in real life even the most famous of people in history can be insane.
Sterling Holloway. Charles Ruggles does Ben Franklin’s voice. It’s odd that even though Hans Conried did voice Thomas Jefferson, they excluded John Adams as he should have been included as he helped write the Declaration of Independence. This could have reunited Bill Thompson with Hans Conried as both Thompson and Conried could have worked out well as John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
@@shutterbug_713 if they were to include I think Bill Thompson could have been Adams and Marvin Miller should have been John Hancock, who should have been the one that reads Jefferson’s declaration. Why do I consider that Thompson could have been Adams if Conried voiced Jefferson?
I miss shows like this. Just Cartoons like this in general if I am honest. The drawings where good and the story boards where one of a kind and they had taste. They also always taught you something in the end. The ones today are crap. The animations crap story boards makes me feel like my brains melting from pure stupid and the content is just horrid. Honestly I don't even turn on the TV to the cartoon channels anymore. I feel a piece of my inner child die every time that I do.
@@geoffreyrichards6079 no I just feel sorry for the kids who watch the shit on TV now because it's nothing but brain rot bad story telling if any at all as it's all marketing gimmicks at this point.
@@alexisbloodrage5412 Nah, there was crappy pandering media being made back then as well. For example… the Columbia Cartoons before they acquired UPA, most of Famous Studios’ library of blandly safe cartoons, and not to mention the early TV animations that look like internet creepypastas. Most of the bad media has been largely forgotten about while the good stuff has resonated.
i always wondered if Walt Disney had lived long enough would he have made a cartoon honoring martin Luther King as well. or did he only care about white peoples history.
Umm--right. Ben was a wild partier, loved the ladies and was the toast of London and the Continent, especially Paris. Not exactly an honest portrayal. Most of the founding fathers (of any country in the world) were not noble saints. They were spurred by greed, racism, opportunism, etc. I never got the reverence for them.
Oh my god.. This cartoon.. I had this on VHS, and I watched it every time I stayed the night with my papa. And every time I'd watch it I wanted him to make me waffles. Because Amos has a voice that sounds like waffles. And syrup. Ahh. Those were the days. I miss you papa.
I love this. I remember this program from my childhood. A true classic Disney program. I hope the youth of today's generation will enjoy these episodes as much as my generation did growing up. Thank you for posting.
So agreed they need to bring these and others like it back to T.V. these older cartoons taught me alot and still made it funny and they can still teach the younger generations today compared to the other Garbage I see today.

The music in all of these old animations is simply fantastic ! It adds so much to the feeling of these films .
