Farmer Alfalfa - Classic Cartoons (DVD)

Whether its pesky salesmen, a thief in the chicken coop, or the hordes of mice that torment him, crotchety old Farmer Alfalfa reaches for his problem-solver - his trusty shotgun. In these dozen vintage animated cartoons from the 1920s and 30s, Alfalfa takes us on a hilarious adventure ride on Noah's Ark, dinosaur hunting in Africa, the frozen wastelands of the North and even the moon. Accompanied by his faithful black cat, and whenever possible, a bottle of home-made moonshine, Farmer Alfalfa overcomes countless obstacles including giant sea monsters, crooked bartenders, and his constant nemesis, swarms of mice, while grappling with the latest new technology - radio!

Created by cartoonist Paul Terry, "Farmer Alfalfa" first appeared in 1916, and had his heyday in the 20s when he was featured in the Aesop's Film 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 Jeckle and Deputy Dawg.
