Give me some canonical references for declaring 1933 distinct from 1936. Had you not had such good grammar and formatting, I'd have just deleted this page, but here's your chance. — InterruptorJones[[]]

I only just stumbled onto this topic, but the page does seem to be justified, if only as a reject. The copyright date on the Kick The Can shorts is 1933, but the only connection to Main Page 10 is that both pages are silent. Render

I think that whoever 198.37.16.36 is was making the distinction that Kick the Can has the date "1933" at the beginning, and is silent, and Main Page 10 is also silent, whereas toons such as Mr. Shmallow (toon) and Parsnips-A-Plenty are talkies, and Parsnips-A-Plenty is dated "1936" at the beginning. This could imply that the 1933 toons are the silent ones, and the 1936 ones are the talkies. Would this warrant dividing them into two categories, or just keep a generic "Black-and-white" category? -- thejesterx 21:20, 6 Oct 2004 (MST)

I think it's definitely not worth it to split them into two categories. It's worth noting that Kick the Can was dated "1933", but it's still a 1936 toon in every way that matters, especially to people who've just stumbled upon the Wiki and are looking for information. Can somebody revert this guy's changes? I'm a bit busy this morning. — InterruptorJones[[]]

Now we have the toon That a Ghost, which is dated 1937, causing the creation of the page 1930's. We need to nail down the name for this whole era to prevent further confusion. - Drhaggis 16:52, 22 Oct 2004 (MST)

TBC have on several occasions referred to such toons as "Old-Timey". That works for me. What do you think? — InterruptorJones[[]]
