Time For An Old Cartoon!

From 1946, it's time for "The Talking Magpies."  This cartoon was more-or-less the forerunner of what would be the hugely successful Heckle and Jeckle series.  This cartoon features longtime Terrytoons star Farmer Al Falfa as the long-suffering homeowner who has to put up with a number of magpies.



This cartoon, released by 20th Century-Fox, was produced at New Rochelle, New York by Paul Terry.  With story by John Foster and music by Phil Scheib, this cartoon was directed by studio veteran Mannie Davis.
