Short but enjoyable

The Bobby Bumps cartoons were made by Bray Studios from 1915 to 1925....and were one of the earliest successful animated series. I think the cartoons have aged better than most because the title character is NOT some sweet kid but a real jerk who is constantly getting in trouble. The quality of the animation is excellent for its day though the use of a politically incorrect maid character in many of the films will no doubt offend many.

As you'd expect with the title, Bobby finds a pet turtle in this short. Unfortunately by the end of the film, the turtle is gone....watch this one to find out how the animal escapes.

This is a very short episode...shorter than many others and because of this, it's not quite as satisfying to watch. Still, given its age, it's pretty enjoyable and worth seeing.

Are You A Turtle?

Bobby Bumps has found a mud turtle -- also known as a snapping turtle, box turtle, or cooter -- and puts him in the bath tub for safe keeping. This is not satisfactory to the adults in the household, so young Master Bumps needs to find a safer place for his new pet.

This is a much shorter and slightly less interesting Bobby Bumps cartoon than usual. I attribute that to its short length. It was produced as part of the Bray-Paramount Magazine, one of many one- or two-reel short subjects that the larger studios produced, covering a variety of subjects, produced to help fill out a program of 'featured movie and selected short subjects.'
