The Miller and His Donkey (Aesop's Fables, 1922) with Farmer Alfalfa

Описание: Here is a relatively early entry from Paul Terry's Aesop's Fables series. Some 450+ cartoons were produced as part of the silent Aesop's series, which ran from 1921 through 1929. Many cartoons in the series featured Farmer Alfalfa, while others did not.

The version seen here was retitled by TV distributor Commonwealth, in the 1950s, and stock music was added as well. 16mm print and SD reference copy courtesy of the Stathes Collection.

For nearly 20 years, the Cartoons On Film team has been locating and reuniting rare 16mm and 35mm prints of these cartoons, and we've also been collecting hi res scans of prints in other collections. Cartoons On Film's long term plan has always been to restore and rerelease most, if not all of the surviving examples—which number in the hundreds. We look forward to releasing the first batch of these new restorations in the near future.
