    6:43 for those of you who don't know, Flip is checking under the bed for the bedpan chamber pot, which was a 'convenience' item for farmhouses that did not have inside plumbing back in those days. The bedpan chamber pot would save a trip to the outhouse during the night, especially if it was very cold outside. My grandparents had used bedpans chamber pots when they were growing up in the early 1900's. Look at his grim face at 6:45 when he doesn't find a bedpan chamber pot under there. No bedpan chamber pot would mean that if he had to go to the bathroom overnight, his only good option would be to go outside at night to the out house to 'do his business'. Ha, and then he whispers into the skeleton's ear "brzh brszh brrzh" asking where does he go to the bathroom.

    My father was a volunteer fireman for over 40 yrs. Every year they had a christmas party for a group of "kids" from a state facility (institution) . I looked forward to the party every year as well as helping to get food and drinks for them . setting up the cartoon movies - like this one . then it was time for Santa to arrive via the fire truck . All the guys took turns being Santa . The last party that took place was very bitter sweet . These "kids" looked forward to seeing Santa . Since all the guys already did their turn , the only one left to be Santa was this old girl and it was my pleasure to step into the red suit . After the "kids" left to head back to the facility , I was joined by the firemen to go up to a nursing home . We did this partly because the patients in there never had visiters , so we gave them a memory of joy and happiness . We also would sing Christmas Songs and give hugs to those who wanted one . I would do it all again if I could . The movies ? Well there were some black and white and some in color . I really enjoyed the ones in black and white more than the ones in color . They were a part of history which made them priceless.

    I have been searching for this video for so long, no one can imagine how happy I am to have finally found it.

    Old style Cartoons were much sweeter, funny, fun even though they were in black&white.

    This is an incredibly well thought out cartoon, with a coherent plot, some of the best drawing ever, and countless perfect details such as the facial expressions (love that horse), the remarkable warped design of the house, the music, the voices (!) and the expressiveness of the skeletons. Artistically it all just flows together. Possibly Ub's finest work and a real masterpiece. --- PS it shows that Flip had real star potential. Too bad it never got realized. --PPS That finale is chilling.
  • I love top hat skeleton guy's facial expressions! He's both cute and genuinely creepy, judging by that sudden dark turn.

    Love those cartoons, hard to believe they are from a time before my dad was born.
  • i love how the horse is just gonna chill out there for a while now
  • @dpf4058
    Love weird old animation like this.
  • @Unownshipper
    I was SO not expecting to hear him say "shut up" to that horse, especially not in that semi-unenthused voice. I couldn't stop laughing!

    2:46 did you notice how the dog sniffs the corner, then lifts its leg like it is going to pee, but then scratches himself instead?🤣

    Old cartoons are so much better than the ones rn

    I love how detailed the skeletons are. I mean, there's contours for the jaw muscles. Though, it's sort of weird seeing human legs on a dog skeleton given the attention put into the chicken.
