Famous Hollywood faces of the day included Joe E. Brown ("the big mouth") at 3:00; The Four Marx Brothers (including Zeppo) at 3:26; Jimmy Durante (and his "schnozzola") at 5:13 and Marie Dressler at 6:28. Also seen briefly are Maurice Chevalier, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd...
I didn't recoginze Marie Dressler, of Marx brothers' fame, but did recognize Ben Terpin at 4:36. I love the cartoons in which they feature "current" movie stars of the times.
You're thinking of Margaret Dumont. Marie was an MGM star in the late '20s and early '30s {her best known role was in "Dinner At Eight"}. She died at the peak of her fame, in 1934.
High energy celeb toon to distract from the Depression. They really started throwing in the celebrities at the end. Some of the caricatures, like Roscoe Ates (the emmcee) and Joe E Brown (the huge mouth) were really good.
Two examples of Zeppo from Looney Tunes: 1933's "Bosko's Picture Show", featuring the four Marxes, all singing --- even Harpo; and from the end of 1934, "Viva Buddy". This was over a year since the final film with Zeppo, but still before the release of any WITHOUT him. This time Harpo CALLS OUT his own name (along with the others), and again sings with them.
That was a really fun cartoon. I really like those old celeb cartoons and there were a lot of good food/eating gags and music gags. And best of all, for me, was the mix of animal characters and humans: a real toon world. Despite never making the cartoon big time like Mickey, Bugs, Daffy, Donald, Popeye, or Woody, there were a LOT of Krazy toons made. So far I've only seen a few, but they are fun and interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing them all.
@@haileyshannon7548 Yes that's a well known fact. There were some real Krazy Kat cartoons made, if I remember correctly, in the early early days. But I don't hold it against this Krazy Kat
There was a Krazy Kat cartoon in the 1960s that was closely based on Herriman's comic- the characters were just the way Herriman depicted them. They came and went.
This is the first Mintz cartoon I have seen and the animation is surprisingly good. Not as funny or strange as Fleischer cartoons but better animated for that time.
That man's high-pitched yelping makes me laugh 😂 😂 😂 and I'd say it's the funnest moment of any classic cartoons I have ever seen! I've found it absolutely hilarious 😂 😂 😂! It should have become a popular Internet meme. I'm from Ireland 🇮🇪
My grandfather was one of the animators on this cartoon....Allen Rose...he did Krazy Kat from the early 30's to 1940..he also wrote a handful of Krazy Kat cartoons as well.
Actually, I believe Durante's line was "How mortifyin! How mortifyin''. They seemed to have changed it up slightly for this. The same with Stan Laurel's little cry/whimper.
Never seen this before~~~ Thank's for posting! NOT "the" Krazy Kat, except for the name~~~ More of a Felix the Cat knock-off.... Not only does he not look or act like KK, he doesn't even resemble his illustration on the title card. However, I did just watch a Charles Mintz KK cartoon from '36 called Lil' Ainjil that IS a good representation of George Harriman's classic newspaper comic. And the voice-of-Popeye actor did Officer Pupp~~~ Regarding other comments below: With all the famous celebrity caricatures in the cartoon, nobody noted the Mickey Mouse piano-movers??! The music at 2:30 is not a song, it is just a generic intro vamp. It sort of suggests a german "oom-pah" band, and you can hear it in the Spike Jones novelty hit "Der Fuhrer's Face." The joke is, that the audience gives him huge applause for it, even tho he hasn't actually played anything yet... The character eating spaghetti looks nothing like Ben Turpin, tho he does have crossed eyes. Since all the other caricatures are pretty accurate, I'd say, it's not BT. He seems like a goofball typical of the era, like the Betty Boop character Mr. Wiffle-Piffle. And to me, he's a dead wringer for a Robert Crumb creation~~~ his work was very influenced by early-30's animation.
3 years late but the reason why Krazy looks nothing like what he looks like in the title card because it’s a reuse title card the title card was never used in a Krazy Kat cartoon (although a similar version is seen in the original prints of every Krazy Kat cartoon from “The Trapeze Artist” (1934) to “Krazy’s Shoe Shop” (1939))
This is one of the livlier Krazy Kat pictures I've seen. Most weren't this good. I remember a Krazy from my childhood with a bunch of Russian Bolsheviks throwing big, round black bombs. Now that's one I'd enjoy seeing again.
I'm only 42, grew up n the 1980's, but even I remember seeing these old black and white cartoon along with all the old, great, looney toons that are banned now for violence, along with the old Tom and Jerry ones too.
Chester Conklin dines on spaghetti and Marie Dressler dances with Groucho. Can't place the gent who intros the Kat. They've quite the gang in the "dancing ring" and towards the end, but if their backs are turned I can't quite place 'em either.
The M.C. Is Roscoe Ates, who was known for his stuttering shtick. The guy with the spaghetti seems to be Ben Turpin, because of the crossed eyes. It's not a real caricature of Turpin otherwise.
i hope not. i have been waiting on that marx brothers documentary for like 8 years now. i am about ready to just watch the a&e biography of them and move on.
kathy fowler ...don't know his name, but he was in the movie, Freaks...he was the husband of one of the Siamese twins played by actual conjoined twins, Violet and Daisy Hilton. 😊
That was Ben Turpin, who was a popular silent film comic with Mack Sennett in the 1920's...he was still around at this time & was in 1932's "Million Dollar Legs" he would have minor film parts until his death in 1940...His eyes were really crossed, but I guess he could see fine....
My grandfather was Allen Rose, the animator...wow,,,i never saw this one!
Wait your grandfather was an animator for this

I've always been a huge fan of early animation. This is the first time I ever saw an animated Zeppo Marx.
+ftsjr me too! but he acted till 1933, duck soup was his last film
An animated Zeppo also appears in the Flip the Frog cartoon "Soda Squirt" (1933)
Setebos
you are right! incredible cartoon too!
jamonconkeso Thanks.

They WERE nothing like original comics
@@haileyshannon7548

Not to be confused with the original Krazy Kat of the comic strip by George Herriman, but this is a gem nonetheless. Party on!!
This actually is that Krazy Kat. This is just a really bad adaptation
I find this version of Krazy funny.
Normaly, I prefer other character's design more than this, but it makes Krazy look adorable for some reason
He kind of reminds me of Bendy
@@user-gw1mr2cs3i kinda me too

Roscoe Ates, Joe E. Brown, Groucho/Chico/Zeppo/Harpo Marx, Laurel and Hardy, Ben Turpin, Jimmy Durante and Marie Dressler
Before *"Use of distinctive likenesses"* was a protected thing.
Gummo was never in the films, only on stage, so wouldn't have been so recoginzable to a cinema audience.
@R W I know that's Zeppo in the cartoon, I was responding to an earlier comment by someone wondering why Gummo wasn't featured.
Wow. Better than anything Disney did - so much more fun!

Sounds like the Warner Brothers Cartoon theme? or...i know ive heard that tune before!
Happy Days as the song was known was quite popular during the depression era.
Actually, I believe Durante's line was "How mortifyin! How mortifyin''. They seemed to have changed it up slightly for this. The same with Stan Laurel's little cry/whimper.

6:58 I wish the end was clearer... I think I spotted some stars not included in the rest of the cartoon!
Durante said at 5:15, "Am I mortified! Am I mortified!!!", 'TiCar'. That's was one of Jimmy's catchphrases at the time.

HEY!! And at the 2:30 mark he even starts playing the Looney Toons theme on the organ!! Awesome!!
Ummm... no, he doesn't.
Definitely not
But it got clipped
But 2x
umbrella hair...now that is comedy gold.
The yelling comedian is Joe E. Brown.
His yelling was his gimmick.
I'm just realizing there were two different versions of Krazy kat
Krazy Kat - Seeing Stars (1932) Opening Title & Closing (Tom and Jerry Vol.11)
A Columbia Cartoon Release On September 12, 1932
1950s Krazy Kat was a very different entity from 1930s Krazy Kat. Two different characters. And comic strip Krazy Kat yet another.
Don't tell Carrot Top about this one, he'd steal all the gags!
i love seeing harpo chaise the girls around
George Herriman created Krazy Kat!
😅😅😅😅well information good show 😅😅
6:08 HE'S GOT A GUN!
The Band Concert (1935) 1:59
Krazy may look a little different from the strip but he still has a bow behind his neck which is probably his trademark.
That surely is Roscoe. I never would have guessed it, but I was wondering who it was too. It's the best drawn caricature in the toon.
Wish it were louder....
I so love The Marx Brothers. They're just so wacky.
All four Marx Brothers! Wow! This is a rarity!
GREAT ANIMATIONS ...SO MUCH BETTER THAN MODERN SOUL-LESS RUBBISH that they produce nowadays! ....
2:46 Beautiful tune.
Chester Conklin dines on spaghetti and Marie Dressler dances with Groucho. Can't place the gent who intros the Kat. They've quite the gang in the "dancing ring" and towards the end, but if their backs are turned I can't quite place 'em either.
Found the gent: Roscoe Ates!
"muy bien" "otra vez" in spanish.
Definitely.
4:55 I was expecting a scene from "Lady and the Tramp"
Laurel and hardy
TCM played it last night. hopefully you caught it..
About the chords played 2:25 -2:35, I'm sure I've heard them before, but I can't remember where...could somebody enlighten me, please?
They are from the opening of many merrie melodies cartoons. I'm not sure if that is where they originaly appeared, though.
Charles Bowditch the merry-go-round broke down
the organ grinder's swing
3:20 the four Marx brothers
Joe E. Brown was in the cartoon.
gummo choase being in the war over doing movies with his brothers
Actually, he was drafted.
The M.C. Is Roscoe Ates, who was known for his stuttering shtick. The guy with the spaghetti seems to be Ben Turpin, because of the crossed eyes. It's not a real caricature of Turpin otherwise.
Is that Marie Dressler dancing with Krazy and then Groucho?
you got it!
That was comedian Joe E. Brown. The "big mouth" thing was his shtick.
This may have its own merits, but it bears NO resemblance to the George Herriman comic strip. Sheesh!
What’s the song at the beginning?
Who Does The Voices In This 1932 Cartoon?
4:55 lady and the tramp reference
Didn't this come out before then?
@@PPOshipper101 indeed it did
4:26 his voice sounds very weird.
Do you mind if I use this in a Marx Brothers video I want to make? This is so great! :)
Are you dead
i hope not. i have been waiting on that marx brothers documentary for like 8 years now. i am about ready to just watch the a&e biography of them and move on.
Ik This was 11 years ago but this cartoon is not made by the uploader and it's public domain
this is not krazy kat this generik kat trademark
0:33-2:36 WHY IS EVERYONE DANCING AND CLAPPING LIKE THAT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wasn't Ben Turpin one of the Key Stone Cops?
who was the announcer in the beginning that stuttered?
kathy fowler ...don't know his name, but he was in the movie, Freaks...he was the husband of one of the Siamese twins played by actual conjoined twins, Violet and Daisy Hilton. 😊
I think that's Roscoe Ates.
3:26
Who was the guy eating spaghetti
That was Ben Turpin, who was a popular silent film comic with Mack Sennett in the 1920's...he was still around at this time & was in 1932's "Million Dollar Legs" he would have minor film parts until his death in 1940...His eyes were really crossed, but I guess he could see fine....
That didn't look nothing like Krazy Kat, and where was Officer Pupp?
People are corralled in a ring to dance? Social Distancing back then?
Do you suppose the Looney Tunes character Porky Pig might have been influenced by the guy at 1:21?
1:21
@OofusTwillip Li'l finga wegga.
Who is the fella with the large mouth?
Joe E Brown
I know the Marx brothers were 5 in number. For some reason, Gummo isn't present here.
I thought there were only 3 Marx brothers.
There was 4 when this one was made, the 4th being Zeppo. He left before the remaining brothers joined MGM in 1935.
3:52 stereotypical mammy
That’s racist
Felix rip off
Actually Krazy Kat debuted 6 years before Felix in a comic
Before *"Use of distinctive likenesses"* was a protected thing.
