I'm nearly 85, have never seen these cartoons; the frivolity makes me laugh at the mostly harmless nature of them. Thanks to the uplpader.

We used to watch these as kids and never thought a thing of it. It just was what it was and nothing more.

Back when cartoons were aimed at adults, not kids. I remember some of the Flip the Frog cartoons when something went wrong, Flip looked at the camera and said "Damn!" Not censored on 1950's TV either.

What a wild ride! I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Thanks for posting this!

The good ole’ days, when cartoonists could do what they wanted.

This is what goes on in my head when I zone out.

Cartoons weren’t made for children back then, hence the adult content.

The 20s, and 30s was a weird time for cartoons.

And remember folks, these cartoons were drawn one frame at a time. Probably several thousand for each film reel. Talk about job security

I appreciate my vintage cartoons pre codes and all lol

[rflatman]

Have to remember the bread & butter theatre goers were adults and the toons reflected that, wasn't until late 40s early 50s the audience became kids a lot of fun pokes in these

Those Pre-Code cartoons had a delicious naughtyness in them.

[tsegulin]

Wow - I just don't know where you could find this stuff, much less know what you were looking for then cut it together so well.
Thanks so much!

When the walloped the horse for saying the naughty word I cracked up on the spot 😂

My mom use to tell me Animaniacs where a bad influence back in the 90's. They where tame compared to old school.

Sex-alcoholics-gays-racism: it’s all in there !! 😂

Ralph bakshi would have a lot of fun if he was an animated in the pre hays code time era

When people ask me why I watch classic cartoons.
