The full film

Dinner Time (1928) is an American animated short subject produced by Amadee J. Van Beuren, directed by Paul Terry, co-directed by John Foster, and produced at Van Beuren Studios. Josiah Zuro arranged and conducted the "synchronized" music score. The film is part of a series entitled Aesop's Fables and features the Terry creation Farmer Al Falfa who works as a butcher, fending off a group of pesky dogs.[1]

Dinner Time was one of the first publicly shown sound-on-film cartoons. It premiered at the Strand Theater New York City in August 1928 and was released by Pathé Exchange on October 14, a month before Walt Disney's sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie.[2] Dinner Time was not successful with audiences and Disney's film would be widely touted as the first synchronized sound cartoon.

Commonwealth Reissue

[edit]

In addition to the stock music cues from Thomas J. Valentino's music library, the 1950s Commonwealth reissue of this cartoon also has a narrator and voice actors. The voice actors spoke the characters' lines, as opposed to the nonsense vocalisations made in the original 1928 version. Some scenes were also reordered.
