Film producer Amadee J. Van Beuren partnered with legendary animator Paul Terry in 1920 to create their Aesop's Fables cartoons. In 1929, Terry quit to go on his own, and the Van Beuren Studio was born. The twenty-one rare cartoons in this collection were produced by Van Beuren between 1929 and 1933. With John Foster heading animation and bandIeader Gene Rodemich handling sound recording and synchronization, the studio churned out scores of classic Aesop's FabIes cartoons untiI 1936, when they could no Ionger compete with industry giant, Disney, for distribution.
These 21 shorts are Ioaded with the classic characters and animaIs that stilI influence cartoonists today. And in aImost every episode, you can guarantee that a corn cob, a skeleton or an exotic creature will morph into keyboards in time for a jazzy piano solo!
