Aesop’s Fables – The 1920s Vol. 1

Innovative, violent and hilarious! Paul Terry gets his first high definition silent film collection in Aesop’s Fables – The 1920s, Volume 1.

Before Walt Disney found fame with a mouse in 1928, he stated he had hoped to one day make animated shorts as good as Terry’s Fables. Now, Cartoon Logic, in association with Blackhawk Films, has restored 20 cartoons ranging from the birth of the series in 1921, to 1928’s Dinner Time (the first theatrical cartoon with synchronized sound ever released).

Each short comes with an optional commentary track by animation historians Thad Komorowski and Charlie Judkins, with Charlie also lending his accomplished musical stylings with newly recorded original scores for each short.

Includes: Mice in Council, The Fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper, The Fable of the Fox and Crow, The Spendthrift, The Fable of a Raisin and a Cake of Yeast, The Pearl Divers, Do Women Pay?, Herman the Great Mouse, Wine, Women and Song, The Ugly Duckling, Hungry Hounds, Her Ben, Anti-Fat, When the Snow Flies, Hard Cider, Subway Sally, Small Town Sheriff, The Spider’s Lair, Jungle Days and Dinner Time.

Available on both Blu-ray and DVD, distributed by ClassicFlix. Also available on Amazon.
