Crying Wolf

About This Movie

Crying Wolf is a charming little piece of animation from Terrytoons, released back in January '47. The film captures that whimsical yet pastoral atmosphere, with our devoted sheepdog and a rather cheeky black sheep who simply can't resist causing some mischief. The pacing is relaxed, giving the audience a chance to appreciate the hand-drawn animation style that captures the innocence of rural life. While the plot is straightforward, it’s the playful interactions between the characters that really stand out. You can almost feel the light-hearted spirit that Terrytoons was known for. It's not groundbreaking, but it certainly has its own unique charm and character.

Crying Wolf has maintained a modest level of scarcity in collector circles, often being overshadowed by bigger animations of the era. Terrytoons films have their niche collectors, and this one appeals particularly to those interested in post-war animation history. It can be tricky to find good quality prints, which adds to its allure for enthusiasts who appreciate the unique artistry of the period.
