The Old Family Toothbrush (1925)

Directed by Sering D. Wilson

Animation

A groundbreaking 1925 silent animated short filmed in Naturecolor using the innovative Wilson Wetherald two-color process. Subtitled "A New Redhead Satire," the story takes place aboard Noah's Ark and follows a young boxing protagonist named Kid Noah. When a chaotic domestic dispute erupts among the ark's inhabitants over a single shared family toothbrush, the disagreement quickly spirals out of control. To settle the score, Kid Noah is forced to enter the ring for an unruly, cheat-filled boxing match against Wallaby, "the Fighting Kangaroo," in front of an enthusiastic audience of animals.
