This is super crazy how this cartoon is almost 100 years old! I used to have this on VHS back in the 80s!

Moral of the Story: Always listen your parents and never run off

4:25 Notice how the faucet isn’t hooked up to anything but is dangling from the ceiling getting water from….well….the “air” in their world 😂

When I watched this as a kid I thought the adults were torturing Junior.

But I now know they were simply teaching him a lesson on being naughty and that he is still too young to things grown ups do.

SMALL FRY IS ACTUALLY A Lesson for most kids who have difficulties.

1:57 you can hear the Popeye voice actor in the pool hall. It must have been Jack Mercer based on the year. Popeye cartoons were also originally made by the Fleischer studios

Man, I haven't seen this in forever. My dad had a couple of VHS tapes he recorded old cartoons onto that I would watch a thousand times when I was a kid in the 90s. This was one of my favorites.

There's always a bigger fish, those guys were trying to teach him that he was trying to be a man before his time, so they gave him a scared straight experience

Wow, I remember this when I was a small child. Did not know it was from the 1930s. 🥰

This cartoon was one of the earliest I can recall watching when I was little.

Now I look back on my youth years as a teen this reminds me so much of myself in my past 10 years ago it was my goal to be a big shot and yeah I truly was just a baby inside.

That's okay everything worked out now.

It's rediculas how so many people put me down in the past for watching cartoons they didn't realize I also wanted to be a cartoonist in reality.

Well I am going places in life and this cartoon touches me somehow lol I can see myself in it and I am still a small fry of a character in life.🤗👍

I had this on a cassette 36 years ago at 5, love this short

Kudos to the elderly fishes cause they taught him that he needs to learn more. The older generation are wiser in terms of life experiences yet here we have youngsters talk as if they know better. We should all listen and learn properly not making ourselves grow quick  always room for new knowledge

This is so nostalgic, man I didn't even know I remember everything the characters says lol

Remember, kids, never smoke cigarettes from strangers, never ditch school and never play hooky.

Little fish is cute 😁🐟

I looked for this cartoon for years. I remembered it from one of our VHS cartoons in the 1980's.

Unlocked Memories

Bikini Bottom in the 1930's be like, "welcome to the Salty Spittoon, how tough are ya?"
Small Fry: How tough am I? Got a new bottle of ketchup?
Big Fry: Sure!
Small Fry: It's on!
Big Fry: Get outta here kid, this place is too tough for you.

I had this on VHS!! Ahh...the good ol days

This is what children's entertainment used to be. To teach a moral lesson.
