Where are Hans and Franz in The Captain and the Kids' Old Smokey?

This short mainly concerns the Captain switching the old horse-drawn fire engine with the new gas-powered one. Then Mama calls and says her house is on fire. The Captain rushes over in the new vehicle but gets stuck hanging on his coat at the top of the ladder. The horse who was just on his way to the retirement field hears the call and rushes to rescue them...Some amusing touches but mostly uneven with the Captain a really useless character here. And where are Hans and Franz? Loved the horse and his reactions of sadness when getting fired and excitement when rehired. And the humorous way he and another human character tried to rescue the Captain. So for him I'm giving this at least a 4.

Headin' for the Krazy Glue Factory

At it's best, the "Captain and the Kids" series at MGM had a strong sense of comic structure while maintaining some of the essence of the Dirks strip ("Buried Treasure", "Mama's New Hat", "The Winning Ticket"). At it's worst you end up with "Old Smokey". Given the fertile theme of childhood mischief and a funny cast of characters that looked animated even in newsprint, it's baffling why director Bill Hanna (uncredited) would opt for a lame, limping, sentimental horsey story. This is the fourth "C&K" entry in which the Kids are nowhere to be found. Perhaps Mama would someday find their pictures on a milk carton.

Not Ready For Retirement

Old Smokey is through as a fire horse. He's being retired to the Old Horse's home, when volunteer fire man Der Captain, gets trapped on a high ladder while trying to fight a fire Mama started in the kitchen.

Der Captain is voiced by Billy Bletcher, of course, but what's most notable about this rather dull cartoon from "The Captain and the Kids" series, is that it's the fourth cartoon directed by Bill Hanna. Hanna is, of course, remembered from his partnership with Joe Barbera; together they won a slew of Oscars for Best Animated Shorts for the interminable Tom & Jerry series, then produced a slew of cartoons for TV. There's no sign of Barbera here, although that may be because his contract called for newspaper cartoonist Rudolf Dirks to receive sole writing credit on the series.

The Captain and the Kids

The Captain gleefully retires the horse Old Smokey and the horse-drawn fire engine with the arrival of a shiny new fire engine vehicle. On his first call, the Captain gets into all kinds of trouble. Old Smokey is at the entrance of the horse retirement home when he smells the smoke. He rushes to the fire and rescues everyone. This is an early MGM animated series called The Captain and the Kids. There is plenty of talent behind the work. It shows. It's a well made screwball animated comedy. The Captain doesn't have the right charisma and he never caught on. That probably spelled doom for the series.

Very Primitive

This is "A Captain And The Kids" cartoon shown with the Marx Brothers film 'A Day At The Races" DVD.

Old Smokey is a firehouse horse who is being put out to pasture, replaced by an engine (remember, this is the mid '30s). Suddenly, there is a fire and Mama calls the Captain (who is only one at the fire house?). He jumps in the sleek new machine and no idea how to control it. Mama is out on the flagpole as the house is being engulfed in flames. The captain winds up several hundred feet in the air on top of a ladder. He's stranded, too.

The end is predictable as Old Smokey smells the smoke, gets excited, races to the scene and saves the day...and his job. In all, a primitive only slightly-amusing cartoon.
