Description
THE ORIGINAL ANIMATED ODD COUPLE
The tall and short comic duo was first teamed up by cartoonist Bud Fisher in 1908, and quickly became a part of American Culture. They were among the first comic strip characters to be adapted to animation beginning in 1916, and were the first animated characters to display personalities in the movies. The format of the Mutt and Jeff comedy would be imitated by live action comedians such as Abbott and Costello a generation later.
Approx. 60 mins.
"Ray Pointer and Inkwell Images is to be commended for spotlighting these largely forgotten early cartoon films, and presenting them is such an informative and insightful light...this is the first home video presentation to feature Bud Fishers’ 'Mutt and Jeff' cartoon films in one definitive collection."
Del Walker, DVDToons
