Robert all. Dawson im 25 and had this on a vhs when i was super young. Hadnt seen it since then. Crazy, didnt understand what i was watching at all. Its creeply awesome tho. Lol
@Zap Rowsdower yeah i remember those cartoons but can't remember the name either. Maybe if you search for them by what kind of cartoons they were and what they do or something similar you may find them and know the name, thats what i do when i try to find something i dont remember the name lol, but i really don't remember.
I too had this in VHS, I’m 31 now and have also been searching for the cartoons. I remember a few: this one, Little Audrey (mother goose), Mary had a little lamb, Betty Boop (Cinderella & Crazy inventions), Old McDonald, and the lady in the shoe.
Mine too. I remember seeing it on Cartoon Network when I was seven or eight, and my older cousin said that 2:50 showed a booger. Years later when I watched this video, I laughed like mad at 6:21 to 6:26.
It's amazing how nicely they animated cartoons in the early days. So much detail. It would take them a long time to make just one cartoon. It would take them a couple years to make an animated movie like "Snow White" or "Pinocchio". Personally, I think it was always worth it.
Correct, unfortunately hand drawn animations cost a lot more than they did back then so it's a lot harder to do it today for large companies. Everyone's going to India for Animation because of how expensive it is to hire someone in the US to do it, as opposed to doing it elsewhere.
raymund usi When they made all of the animations for Cuphead they literally used a paper and pencil to make all of the frames and then digitally master them. So it pretty much is all frame by frame style just like the old cartoons. Which is what 2D animation is about. Literally.
Devin Millar Yeah, its real hardwork, we were taught classic animation and boy its hard. After drawing and inking the paper, majority of the line quality break down after scanning, you have to fix the lines again on computer
MORAL: Even if you are rich, you still have to respect poor people who had to eat from the garbage, who had to drink water with bacteria, where the younglins protect there family, others who don't have a home and others. Being rich doesn't mean you have to make fun of people who are poor and homeless.

When I was a kid I had a dream greedy Humpty Dumpty went to hell. After hitting the ground, he busted through and landed in hot, boiling orange water, lol.
I remember watching this and about two or three other cartoons about eggs all together on a little VCR hooked up to a tiny, hand sized TV time and time again. Really glad my parents kept their old cartoons for me to watch, this gave me a warm feeling of nostalgia. Thanks for the upload.
I believe this was the first cartoon I ever remember watching. My grandfather owned a copy of it on VHS and I used to love watching it. It really inspired me to create art myself. I love coming back to this from time to time and remembering.
Speaking of the Tower of Babel, at first I thought it would’ve failed anyway because of the altitude-oxygen tanks, etc. weren’t invented yet-then pastor enriche told me that science has proven the air wasn’t as thin way up there back then as it is now.
That's not a problem, happy to do. I have several of the cartoons posted on youtube, but I have every single cartoon (all 35) on my website if you haven't already seen, just click link in info box. There's also hundreds of public domain movies on my website and other cartoons including bugs bunny, a woody the woodpecker, Daffy the Duck, and several 3 stooges. Enjoy!
It was great to see this again. I had "Greedy Humpty Dumpty" on 8mm film when I was a kid, but without sound. Mae Questel (Betty Boop) was a dear friend, I heard her voice in this as Mother Goose, and in the chorus. Thanks for posting this! - Cortlandt Hull
I believe I have this old cartoon on one of my DVD's in my collection. As a struggling comic artist and storyteller myself, I'm drawing almost everything on paper like they did back then. I can totally understand how they decided to upgrade to 3D animation because it is much cheaper now but what to draw all my newer more original imaginary characters back from how they used to do it.
I saw your other posts. Dude I am beyond words. You have my favorite cartoon that I thought I would never see again All's Fair at the Fair. I appreciate you finding this magnificent piece of history. Thank you.🙏✊👍
Wow i had this cartoon/movie oN VHS 📼 as kid never knew it was that old of a classic tho ❤️ but I still have all my VHS LoL I'm 34 now I wish I could share them with my kid's but I don't have a VCR of course 😔
My dad bought me a movie set of merrie melodies and old popeye cartoons when I was young. I still enjoy them to this day despite them being over 3 times my age 😂
I know. I used to feel sorry for Humpty but now I think.........he should die/crack for all those People/Animals who had to build the wall for his own greed. hahahhahaha
Finally found it! Ever since I heard King Nothing by Metallica this cartoon was all I could think about when hearing it. someone put the song onto the video ;D could be funny if it matched. The Lyrics do
Yeah I was going to say, they probably modernized the original song, and whoever did figured it would make sense for a “egg” to be the thing that falls and breaks It would be dark if a person fell and broke 😂
+Jimmy Campbell (CNFanLDEalt3) Yes, one lesson is to never act greedy and the second lesson is not to get carried away with his imagination thinking and imagining that there was gold in the sun. The sun probably taught him a lesson at 6:23 giving him a spanking.
Everyone should know that God created the sun to give light to the world, not to shine gold. When Humpty hurt the sun badly, he brought God’s wrath on himself which lead to his great fall.
As a kid I thought the sun really looked like that close up so my kid instincts, curiosity took over and silly me, I looked directly at the sun, now I wear glasses lol smh
Its really nice to look back to the old cartoons you watched as a kid, i really loved the old classic cartoons and the 2000's ones, really just brings me so much good memories :')
Cute bit at 7:11 where Humpty grabs the one brick, gives a sigh of relief, then realizes he's still several thousand feet up in the air and not about to just stay up there either, "Phooey!"
humpty was a real asshole. he did get what he deserve. not only did all the king's horses and all the king's men didn't want to put humpty together again, they just scraped whatever was left of him and see if they can make him into an omelet.
A real classic, typical of the brilliance of the Max Fleisher studio in its hey-day. The musical soundtrack, including the vast array of sound-effects, is first-rate. I used to see this on TV in the late 50's, when the Fleisher catalog was syndicated to stations. It's bizarre and sensational qualities were upsetting to a young kid. Too bad that the "official" print which was included in the 2-CD set of Fleisher Color Classics (the version you see above) is so washed out, especially in the wall-building scenes; this stunning cartoon needs to be better preserved. I first found it in the mid-80's on a cheap VHS tape at Walgreen's; the print was pretty beat-up (and skipped during the king's final sung lines), but the over-all visual quality was better than this. It's probably impossible to find a really good print after so many years. LR
We're probably lucky theres a halfway decent print left at all, the old film reels are infamous for how easily they degraded, not to mention that a lot of them were deliberatly destroyed once their original run was done, since there wasnt a television or home video market in those days.
As a child in the early 90s I was very scared by the design of these old cartoons, especially this one because of Humpty Dumpty. Now I come to appreciate it because the animation is beautifully done. Still creepy though.
(6:16) Now this is the funny part, I'd never forget. Especially when the entire kingdom that was made out of bricks is tumbling down, and falling apart at the end. But still, it's cracks me up everything. And yes, I was surprised too.
Ah yes. Thank goodness I can finally see this classic 1936 cartoon, in all its original splendour, including the original title cards. As it's a cartoon, the Paramount logo should read "A Paramount Cartoon".
There was a similar cartoon with the old woman who lived in the shoe with all those kids produced by the same Max Fleischer creator. There's a shoe-house in the beginning right outside HD's fortress and lots of black-haired kids running around. So does that mean this is taking place in the same universe at the same time? XD And why are the witches there putting up with him? Can't they just turn the bad egg into an omelette or fly away? Why are the townsfolk concerned that their tyrant broke into many pieces? Why would they help him? Oh well, I guess they can pocket all of that gold for themselves now.
All of the characters (including Humpty Dumpty himself) are based on nursery rhymes. So yeah, you're likely to see different kind of adaptations of the same thing. I don't think this indicates that The Kids in the Shoe (the cartoon you're talking about) and this takes place in the same universe, though. The old woman in this cartoon looks different from the Kids in the Shoe version, which came out a year earlier. Even the shoe-house itself looks different. So chances are, they're just here to serve as references to the nursery rhymes rather than showing that the two cartoons are canon to each other.
Thanks for showing that cartoon, I'm 63 years old and I haven't seen that cartoon since I was 7 years old.
Robert all. Dawson im 25 and had this on a vhs when i was super young. Hadnt seen it since then. Crazy, didnt understand what i was watching at all. Its creeply awesome tho. Lol
Im 16 i had this on disk with other classics when i was a child. Pretty awsome to see different ages grow up on the same thing.
I’m 13 and this was my childhood and I’m proud of it
I use to have this on VHS.
I'm 66 and I first saw this cartoon when I was 4. This was when many,many old theatrical cartoons were still being shown on television.
I used to have this in VHS cassette when i was like 5 years old, im 36 now and i loved this cartoon.

Same name and age as you. And I had this on VHS when I was five. :) I remember this vividly.
Did that VHS have Betty Boop or was that another one? (Seems we all had the same one lol)
Same!
I too had this in VHS, I’m 31 now and have also been searching for the cartoons. I remember a few: this one, Little Audrey (mother goose), Mary had a little lamb, Betty Boop (Cinderella & Crazy inventions), Old McDonald, and the lady in the shoe.
This cartoon was in the depths of my memories and for some reason I decided to watch it again.
Aye, memories!!
specifically because they had to draw every frame and colour them with ink
Mine too. I remember seeing it on Cartoon Network when I was seven or eight, and my older cousin said that 2:50 showed a booger. Years later when I watched this video, I laughed like mad at 6:21 to 6:26.
It’s sure something!
This cartoon scared the shit out of me as a child.
Yeah man! same here! The part with the sun and the colors as well
Me too.
It didn't. I remember watching "Humpty Dumpty" in my childhood. I wasn't scared.
@@kodymaxwell3580 why scared??????
@@evajezabel6886 "Why scared?" I just saw the Humpty Dumpty cartoon in my childhood. I wasn't scared of that.

Cuphead was inspired by this,
raymund usi Cuphead is more sophisticated in the animation and the theme that’s for sure.

When I was a kid I had a dream greedy Humpty Dumpty went to hell. After hitting the ground, he busted through and landed in hot, boiling orange water, lol.
And then Satan turned him into breakfast?
Seems rather appropriate for this situation.
I went to school with a Matt Jones. Crystal Lake?
Matt Jones a small loan of your mortal soul
Matt Jones bruh I’m pretty sure I had the exact same dream 😂😂😂
I'm 34 years old. I remember having the VHS tape with this and another cartoon, "Gabby Goes Fishing", at the end of it. I loved it!
I remember watching this and about two or three other cartoons about eggs all together on a little VCR hooked up to a tiny, hand sized TV time and time again. Really glad my parents kept their old cartoons for me to watch, this gave me a warm feeling of nostalgia. Thanks for the upload.
2:19 Subtle foreshadowing on Humpty's fate right there.
Ikr? Bad omen.
I loooooved this when I was little,It was and still is one of my favorite cartoons.You don't see this kind of comedy in cartoons anymore these days.
I remember seeing this cartoon on a VHS as a kid. This is my first time seeing it again in over a decade.
Same, but no one else I know seems to remember it lol
6:23 Yes! Spank that egg! Spank that egg! He deserves it!
So hilarious
“Spank that egg” sounds like a sex thing
What they were allowed to get away with...he was using a bullwhip to beat his subjects into submission. In a kid's cartoon.
He is crying like a baby
He is a bad egg
31 years old and when I was a kid this cartoon scared the crap out of me!
I'm also 31 and the scene of the sun always scared me
Yes!
The ending freaked me out a bit when I was little
There's nothing scary about this cartoon at all.
When they start slathering on the concrete, it was always relaxing to me.. I dont know what that says about me as a kid haha
Same!
It seems like whoever wrote this cartoon's storyline had the idea of mixing the nursery rhyme of Humpty Dumpty with that of King Nimrod.
I like it.
6:16 Uh, Mr.Dumpty I wouldn't do that if I!...
6:18 were you....
Indeed!!!
The part at the end with the fire and lightning and that demon that attacks him scared the crap out of me as a kid.
Pretty sure that's just part of the sun, not a demon.
@@gr8gmr Personally, I always believed it to be a fire elemental aka salamander.
He deserved every bit of it, enslaving everyone for his selfish desires.
When God says you can't reach him- He means it-
This reminds me of the Tower of Babel xD
I wonder why I didn't think of that one before.
Woah I literally thought that too!
@@hotwax9376 thats more realistic this way!
I bet god angry at humpty dumpty.
It's a kids cartoon. No need to go that deep. Jeez!
I believe this was the first cartoon I ever remember watching. My grandfather owned a copy of it on VHS and I used to love watching it. It really inspired me to create art myself. I love coming back to this from time to time and remembering.

Nope

Used to watch this among a whole bunch of old cartoons on vhs at my grandmas during summer break. Really miss those years
A real memory jolt. I saw this when I was a toddler, and Humpty Dumpty's voice scared the Hell outta' me.
+ftsjr
Wow!... Hard to believe it was merely his VOICE that scared you as opposed to his DEMISE.
That's pretty deep, if I do say so myself.
Gus Wickie’s voice for Humpty Dumpty sounds (a bit) like actor/singer George Hearn.
Who else was 😨 scared shitless because of this as a kid?
Huh? Why would ANYBODY be scared of this? There's nothing scary about this at all.
No? It’s a fun twist on a classic and very tame nursery rhyme? Not exactly the stiff of nightmares, even child ones
yes omg the spanking part 😭😭
I believe I have this old cartoon on one of my DVD's in my collection. As a struggling comic artist and storyteller myself, I'm drawing almost everything on paper like they did back then.

it doesn't get much better than this. I've looked for this for almost 25 years!!!!!
I watched this cartoon when I was 13 years old in a vhs video cassette of different old cartoons called Simple Simon.
I got this movie in vhs and I didn’t have a tv so when I got one this was the first movie I’ve ever gotten and I was in love with it
That was my favorite cartoon as a little kid. Started my love for building and destroying things out of blocks/sand/legos.
I remember seeing this cartoon and a few others as a kid on some vhs or other but for the life of me I can’t remember what it was
I think I've seen this old cartoon before but it's been so many years I honestly can't remember for sure...
I'm 16, and we have a few of these movies, and I remember watching them when I was little, I still love this one
You're now 25. Feel old yet?
Can’t beat the classics.
My bro and i always sing the look out song to each other.
I love him :3
Wow i had this cartoon/movie oN VHS 📼 as kid never knew it was that old of a classic tho ❤️ but I still have all my VHS LoL I'm 34 now I wish I could share them with my kid's but I don't have a VCR of course 😔
@Zap Rowsdower omg yessss all those movies on that tape if I ever get a chance I'll come back and tell you the old lady in the shoe was my favorite!
Saw it on tv when I was three--gave me nightmares...seeing it now--still gives me nightmares---
Brings back good childhood memories seeing this thank you to whoever posted this. Made my day.
7:47 Nothing beats Fleischer Art style. Thank you Max and Dave for influencing the entire Anime Industry
Last time I looked for gold in the sun, I saw one big blue spot for the next two days.
My older brother and I had contests to see who could stare at the sun the longest.
My dad bought me a movie set of merrie melodies and old popeye cartoons when I was young. I still enjoy them to this day despite them being over 3 times my age 😂
The childhood nightmares return 😫
I remember watching this on videotape when I was little but on the tape it was in black and white O.o
wonderfully deightful........it's been at least 50 years since i last saw this one
Now it has been 60 years, are you still here?
i can watch these old school cartoons all day
I can watch these cartoons all night!
No happy ending here...yet since it's a rewatchable classic, Fleischer animation did tell a great story...and not all such stories end happily.
I can't stop laughing @6:23!!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Looks like Dr. Eggman made his own warning at 2:18, and he still doesn't get the picture.
I can remember the nightmares this gave me as a kid
Now, I remember watching this when I was six years old. This show should've been one of the Disney fairytales.
This shit scared me when I was a kid
Never scared me, I was always brave to see this.
interesting... it also scared me as a kid... about 60 years ago.
I think it was the lightning man from the sun - the whole thing struck a nerve
That's definitely the part that got me. Just kind of creepy.
I know. I used to feel sorry for Humpty but now I think.........he should die/crack for all those People/Animals who had to build the wall for his own greed. hahahhahaha
Michael Davis that's what scared me too! That and the music.
I had a 6-hour tape of 50 cartoons that includes this video from the year 2000-2003, and I sold it
I think I still have that tape it's called 50 cartoons classic
The sun scared me in this as a little kid
Finally found it! Ever since I heard King Nothing by Metallica this cartoon was all I could think about when hearing it. someone put the song onto the video ;D could be funny if it matched. The Lyrics do

And now they’re talking about mining the moon in 2020, this cartoon came to mind
The original song never says that he's an egg.
Yeah, there’s not a definitive idea as to who he is but possibly slang for a clumsy person, or a brandy drink, or even Richard III
@@thomasmartin4281 I did not know that. Huh. You DO learn something new everyday.

Thanks for bringing this up! I wish I grew up when these cartoons were coming out for the first time
@@Lunariskk Fair enough.
Now that's was an extremely good lesson in humility will go a long way.
Never forget.
I loved this cartoon version of Humpty Dumpty, never understood why people were afraid of it.
Fleischer just had that style.
Poor Humpty should have learned his lesson. (shrugs)
+Jimmy Campbell (CNFanLDEalt3) Yes, one lesson is to never act greedy and the second lesson is not to get carried away with his imagination thinking and imagining that there was gold in the sun. The sun probably taught him a lesson at 6:23 giving him a spanking.
For real, the sun is 93 million miles away from Earth, and it's full of hydrogen, not gold.
Lesson learned: Greed can kill you.
After 8 years, maybe he has learned his lesson!
Everyone should know that God created the sun to give light to the world, not to shine gold. When Humpty hurt the sun badly, he brought God’s wrath on himself which lead to his great fall.
Well said
About time Humpty learned his lesson-besides, there was already another monarch waiting in the wings to replace him: Old King Cole.
Well that's what you get for being greedy.
Thanks for posting this video. I have not seen it since I was a wee tater tot and it bought back a lot of good memories.
This is fantastic.
As a kid I thought the sun really looked like that close up so my kid instincts, curiosity took over and silly me, I looked directly at the sun, now I wear glasses lol smh

Cuphead came out today and now I'm on a binge of the Golden Age of Cartoons.
Morale: Being greedy can have severe consequences
Bonus moral: If you break open the sun, an electric man will come out and spank you. Do with that as you wish.

So chances are, they're just here to serve as references to the nursery rhymes rather than showing that the two cartoons are canon to each other.
