Fire Cheese (1941)
9/10
Best Gabby Cartoon!
27 July 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Here it is! Number 1 of the 8 Gabby cartoons that were made by the Fleischer brothers from 1940-1941. It's Gabby as a firefighter, well kinda. The know-it-all town crier of Lulliput tries his best to help the fire grow! One great gag right in the middle of this cartoon is when Gabby breaks down the door of the house and races into the burning house with a pail of water in hand. Naturally, the idiot Gabby pours the water on a potted plant and then puts a log on the fire in the fireplace, then leaves the house still in flames! Great gag. I laugh every time i see it. If you like this cartoon, check out "King for a Day", my second favorite Gabby cartoon. Poor Gabby, no more Gabby cartoons were made after 1941 as far as I can see. Shame really:( Gabby's first appearance is in the movie "Gulliver's Travels" (1939).
