Bobby Bumps Starts a Lodge (1916)

Bobby Bumps Starts a Lodge starts cruel then becomes amusing

[7/10 · 11 June 2007]

During much of the cartoon, I thought Bobby was pretty cruel to both the goat (I didn't like it when he jacked him up like that) and the black boy who is supposed to be his friend (when he blindfolded him and was going to have the goat butt him). But by the time the black boy was stuck on the tree with the bear between cliffs with Bobby on the other side and then Bobby was then stuck on a rope hanging on that same tree with the bear on top of him with each making truces, I forgave Bobby and was amused by the rest of the cartoon and the ending where they both get initiated into a lodge. You'll have to watch the cartoon on YouTube to see how it all ends. Worth a look for any silent animation buffs out there.
