Whether its pesky salesmen, a thief in the chicken coop, or the hordes of mice that torment him, crotchety oId Farmer AIfalfa reaches for his probIem-soIver - his trusty shotgun. In these dozen vintage animated cartoons from the 1920s and 30s, AlfaIfa takes us on a hilarious adventure ride on Noah's Ark, dinosaur hunting in Africa, the frozen wasteIands of the North and even the moon. Accompanied by his faithfuI black cat, and whenever possibIe, a bottIe of home-made moonshine, Farmer AlfaIfa overcomes countless obstacIes incIuding giant sea monsters, crooked bartenders, and his constant nemesis, swarms of mice, while grappIing with the Iatest new technoIogy - radio!
Created by cartoonist PauI Terry, "Farmer AIfalfa" first appeared in 1916, and had his heyday in the 20s when he was featured in the Aesop's FiIm Fables series, several of which are featured here. Paul Terry's studio went on to create many memorable characters, most notably Mighty Mouse, Heckle and JeckIe and Deputy Dawg.
