Buddy the Gob
Directed by Friz Freleng
I apologize for the poor quality of this screenshot, as I couldn’t find an image from the video used.
Release Date:
January 13, 1934
Main Character(s):
Buddy
Summary:
Buddy is a sailor in the Navy and saves a Chinese girl from being sacrificed to a dragon.
That’s Not All, Folks:
This is the first cartoon directed by Friz Freleng, who would become one of the greatest directors from the studio.
What I Like About This One:
The ships going over the “humps” in the ocean.
A pair of long johns that Buddy was washing shaking itself off like a dog.
Buddy being confused by the Chinese language on the poster advertising the sacrifice taking place.
Six mice jumping on a drum during the parade scene.
Buddy using a gate like a bow and arrow.
