Watch Dear Old Switzerland For Free
Dear Old Switzerland
A Terrytoons cartoon released 22 December 1944. Our tourist is taking in all the sights: the band playing on the snowy slope, goats harmonizing, skiers dancing on skis. But best of all, mice are shaving the Swiss cheese to run through the player piano to make the music. Dogs, pigs and ducks are all laughing, singing, playing and having a good time- until they get on a runaway snow sled...

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The acting in this movie is really good.
There's a song and jokes about cheese, skiing, yodeling, goats and Saint Bernards in this so-so Terrytoon.There were some plots and themes that Paul Terry's staff returned to every two or three years and had since the 1920s, when he was producing cartoons for Amadee van Beuren. One of those was Switzerland, and the jokes didn't vary that much. The techniques grew more sophisticated with each iteration, but remained remarkably constant. Although the time between iterations was growing longer (the last time had been 1940's SWISS SKI YODELERS), the differences in the versions was growing less stark. The distinction now was a matter of emphasis -- more skiing, less yodeling.
