Notwithstanding some of the brilliant ideas in this (especially as regards the Frankenstein monster), it is astonishing to realize that the "cheap" looking animation here was only three years before masterpieces like "Have You Got Any Castles" - talk about exponential growth in their field by the Warner Brothers animators! View the two cartoons back-to-back and you'd think they came from different centuries!
@ndurring Actually it gets better. 'I Haven't Got A Hat' was a scattershot attempt to find a character. They were literally told to make an animated 'Our Gang' and use whatever stuck. Because Beans was the mischievous one, they'd thought he would be the breakout star...it just so happens Porky's bit in that completely stole the show... Well that and "CORNFLAKES!" But that's a different cartoon altogether.
It just pains me that the whole Tom Sawyer/Adventurous kid vibe we got in the earlier two shorts was thrown out. I get it though, they were looking for a 'versatile star' so they could promote a mascot etc etc. (It took a while for them to find Porky a groove too.) Still with that reasoning, it's kind of ironic the modern shorts came to revolve around the personalities of the characters rather than the gags. (Or at the least a marriage of both)
Crazy to think when these cartoons playing or making in 1935, In other world, & in India what wud be happening then even India was not a independence country ...🤔 ... but today its 2018 and India is a powerful economy and world knows it .....So everyone is traveller here on earth and then what we got or lose ,matters???? I think its all about levels of understanding of mind .

Ripped from a 199x Cartoons Are Fun VHS Tape.

There's a family resemblance between the camera man and Freddy the Freshman from an earlier Looney Tune.

Speaking of 'too harsh on Beans' that studio guard had better buy Beans a new car.
You're too harsh on Beans! This second cartoon is not worse than its predecessor and both are sure a slight improvement over Buddy!
Beans is a wuss. Warner Brothers fired this cat. They FIRED him! FIRED! FIRED! FIRED! Porky Piggy should've dropped in to kick his butt. Hahaha!
