For Short Film Saturday for most of the coming year I will revisit the animated shorts that were presented in snippets by the King of Cartoons on Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. And here you’ll get to see the whole thing.

For June, I will be featuring gay-themed short films for Pride month.
I wanted at least one of these short films to be a bit more of a conventional tale. The fact of the matter is a great number of gay-themed films aren’t just themed but predominantly about sexual identity and awareness. Here you have a fairly common concern to adolescents: seeming to develop slower than contemporaries, but told from a slightly different perspective. Until representations are varied, and widespread enough such that LGBT cinema is no longer a subgenre of its own, representative stories are necessary. However, when the tone is lighter and the conflicts are more universal there is an added ability to reach a vaster audience aside from the built-in one who will inherently “get it.”
Enjoy!
I wrote about this film as part of the Nuts in May blogathon a while backblogathon. The link to this film I posted in that article no longer works, I found one that does for now and decided to share it for Short Film Saturday. Not only is this probably Laurel and Hardy at their best but it was honored with one of the first Oscars for Best Live Action Short Film – Comedy (alongside Wrestling Swordfish in the Live Action Short Film -Novelty Category).
Enjoy!
