The character at the top left of the title card is the first time (through the Laugh-O-Grams and Alice Comedies) that I've seen a character with the Oswald/Mickey-figure featured. Neat!
Fascinating, this is a bit like proto-Tom and Jerry (with a rabbit instead of a mouse, but the same kind of chase-and-catch antics). Very interesting! 😃💗
It's complex, but the Cat, Julius the Cat, is intentionally inspired by Felix the Cat. Alice's Comedies at the time distributer was M.J. Winkler, who previously worked with Felix's creator. Apparently, the two fought a lot, resulting in a literal copycat. Julius lost a few similarities and took on an appearance similar to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse.
I guess Alice learned a lesson on how not to shoot at a 🐻 bear-but it’s a cartoon and I like those sight gags-they’re the funniest thing in this animation! 😊😊😊😊😊❤
@@thomase13 If I remember correctly, until the advent of 'Talkies', there were dialog texts (akin to a slide show) interspersed between scene cuts, with some solo piano player or orchestra playing in one corner.
@@A0A4ful You’re correct; they’re called intertitles. In early animated cartoons, you’d see speech bubbles like in still cartoons, but for some reason that was considered primitive and replaced with intertitles too. I like the speech bubbles better for dialogue!

Cat looks like an early Felix the Cat
Yes it does
I think Felix came 1st....
@@charlesbennett7484 Felix predates Julius, yes, but Felix himself is more than a little bit inspired by Krazy Kat.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 still a masterpiece ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Esto es mucha historia ❤️❤️
I see dialog texts but wasn't the talkies sound introduced in 1929?
Sound cartoons started 1924-26, but this was originally silent and uploaded here must be a re-release with sound, probably in the early ’30s
