Wacky Blackout (1942)

  • 0:21 - 0:27
    Wacky Blackout
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    Howdy, folks.
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    You know, I reckon
    a lot of you people out there
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    are sort of wondering about us
    here on the farm during this war.
  • 0:42 - 0:47
    Well, I want you to know
    that we're prepared for any emergency.
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    Yeah, sure. Just like the city folks.
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    Now, take this farmer here.
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    Why, he's heard and read about
    them there incendiary bombs.
  • 0:56 - 0:57
    You know what he's done?
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    He's even trained his pet dog
    to help put out the fires.
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    Here's his dog
    just about to go into action.
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    He's a full-blooded spitz.
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    Now, take this here cow for instance.
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    Why, you know she's increased
    her production
  • 1:18 - 1:22
    and she's now giving
    5000 quarts of milk a day.
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    That seems like a lot of milk,
    but 5000 quarts is what she gives.
  • 1:26 - 1:31
    Gives, nothing.
    They come in and take it from me.
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    [crying]
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    What a performance.
  • 1:38 - 1:42
    Well, look who's here. It's Old Tom.
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    You know, Old Tom is about the oldest cat
    in these here parts. Yes, sir.
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    Why, he's been around
    for the last three wars
  • 1:50 - 1:53
    and he knows that this one
    will turn out all right too.
  • 1:55 - 1:56
    [pecking nearby]
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    Uh, say, now, would you look at that.
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    A teeny little woodpecker.
  • 2:01 - 2:05
    Now, I bet you I know
    what he's aiming to be when he grows up.
  • 2:05 - 2:09
    I reckon he plans to be a riveter
    at Lockheed.
  • 2:11 - 2:12
    Ooh!
  • 2:12 - 2:15
    Look at that cat's tail.
  • 2:16 - 2:17
    Ooh!
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    If I do,
  • 2:19 - 2:22
    I'll get a whipping.
  • 2:22 - 2:23
    I'll do it.
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    [cat screeches]
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    You know, we American people
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    always sort of look forward
    to Thanksgiving.
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    And this year is certainly no exception.
  • 2:36 - 2:41
    This here turkey is getting fattened up.
    Yes, sir, he's getting lots to eat
  • 2:41 - 2:43
    and you know what?
  • 2:43 - 2:46
    When he reaches 20 pounds,
    he'll be ready for the oven.
  • 2:46 - 2:48
    Twenty pounds? Oven?
  • 2:49 - 2:50
    [spitting]
  • 2:56 - 2:58
    You know, uh, these turtle eggs
  • 2:58 - 3:01
    they've been laying around in the sun
    for quite a spell
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    and uh, well what do you know,
    looks like they're getting ready to hatch.
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    [pecking then cat screeches]
  • 3:08 - 3:10
    I did it again. [laughs]
  • 3:10 - 3:13
    Well, as I was saying,
    these little turtles are born
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    with a natural bombproof shelter
    on their backs.
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    Ain't that cute?
  • 3:29 - 3:32
    Hey, what in the world
    has come over that?
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    Hey, little fella.
  • 3:34 - 3:36
    What do you think you are?
  • 3:36 - 3:37
    [beeps]
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    I'm a jeep. Jeep, jeep.
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    [laughs]
  • 3:44 - 3:48
    Well, now that we're back on the farm
    [chuckles]
  • 3:48 - 3:53
    let's sort of peek in on a young fella
    who's a-courting his sweetie.
  • 3:53 - 3:57
    Oh, Marie-Alana, um, ahh
  • 3:58 - 4:00
    Would you be my, ahh?
  • 4:01 - 4:04
    Would you like to? Oh, no, no, no.
  • 4:05 - 4:07
    Would you be my, uh?
  • 4:07 - 4:12
    Oh, gosh. I wish there was a blackout.
  • 4:12 - 4:13
    Oh, uh oh!
  • 4:14 - 4:16
    Blackout!
  • 4:19 - 4:22
    Oh, boy. Oh, boy. [laughing]
  • 4:23 - 4:25
    Oh, boy. Blackout!
  • 4:26 - 4:28
    Blackout!
  • 4:29 - 4:32
    I just don't know what has come
    over the caterpillars.
  • 4:32 - 4:36
    Just seem to lay around and look glum.
  • 4:41 - 4:43
    Well, would you look at that little fella.
  • 4:43 - 4:46
    He sure looks happy, don't he?
  • 4:46 - 4:48
    Happy? Of course, I'm happy.
  • 4:48 - 4:51
    I just got a retread. [laughs]
  • 4:52 - 4:57
    Uh, these little fireflies here,
    are gonna stage a practice blackout.
  • 4:57 - 4:59
    Looks like they're set to go.
  • 4:59 - 5:03
    Okay, lights out.
  • 5:04 - 5:06
    Hey there, turtle.
  • 5:06 - 5:08
    You better pull into your shelter.
    It's a blackout.
  • 5:09 - 5:10
    Nope, I'd, uh, rather not.
  • 5:10 - 5:13
    Pull your head in. That's better.
  • 5:13 - 5:16
    Why in the world didn't you wanna go
    into your shell?
  • 5:16 - 5:22
    Well, uh, I'm afraid of the dark.
  • 5:22 - 5:27
    All right, fireflies. Blackout's over.
  • 5:28 - 5:30
    Hey, you. You on the end.
  • 5:30 - 5:34
    Yes, you. What happened to your light?
  • 5:36 - 5:39
    Hey, who's the bulb snatcher?
  • 5:39 - 5:43
    Who's the bulb snatcher?
  • 5:46 - 5:49
    Did you ever see a prettier sight
    than this here mother bird?
  • 5:49 - 5:53
    She is a-teaching her little son
    how to fly.
  • 5:53 - 5:55
    It's very easy, darling.
  • 5:55 - 5:59
    Just flap your wings like this.
  • 6:03 - 6:05
    See?
  • 6:06 - 6:09
    Come on, now. Do as Mommy did.
  • 6:09 - 6:12
    Ah, Ma. I wanna be a dive-bomber.
  • 6:13 - 6:16
    [mimicking plane engine]
  • 6:16 - 6:18
    [mimics machine guns]
  • 6:19 - 6:21
    I guess about the only living creatures
  • 6:21 - 6:23
    that haven't been affected by the war
  • 6:23 - 6:26
    are the famous swallows of Capistrano.
  • 6:27 - 6:28
    Yes, sir.
  • 6:29 - 6:34
    As you all know, these here birds return
    to the mission on a certain day each year
  • 6:34 - 6:38
    and we're here just in time
    to see them come back.
  • 6:39 - 6:41
    They'll be along any minute now.
  • 6:43 - 6:45
    Telegram for the audience.
  • 6:45 - 6:46
    What does it say?
  • 6:46 - 6:48
    It says here:
  • 6:48 - 6:50
    We are out over the ocean
    Can't even get close to land
  • 6:51 - 6:55
    We can't fly to Capistrano
    Past the Fourth Interceptor Command
  • 6:55 - 6:56
    Signed, The Swallows.
  • 6:56 - 7:01
    Now, you folks all know
    how valuable carrier pigeons is in wartime.
  • 7:01 - 7:03
    [pecking then cat screeches]
  • 7:05 - 7:06
    I did it.
  • 7:08 - 7:09
    [bird pecking]
  • 7:09 - 7:14
    As I was saying, about them there
    carrier pigeons,
  • 7:15 - 7:18
    well now, this proud couple
    is famous around these parts.
  • 7:18 - 7:22
    During the last war
    they gave more sons to the service
  • 7:22 - 7:24
    than was ever thought possible.
  • 7:25 - 7:27
    [weakly] Well, Ma
  • 7:28 - 7:29
    ♪ We did it before ♪
  • 7:29 - 7:31
    ♪ And we can do it again ♪
  • 7:31 - 7:33
    ♪ And we will do it again ♪
  • 7:33 - 7:35
    [scatting]
  • 7:48 - 7:51
    That's all, folks!
