About The Major Lied 'Til Dawn Movie

The Major Lied 'Til Dawn, released in 1938, is an Animation Movie from director Frank Tashlin. Featuring Tommy Bond, Mel Blanc. We open on a big game hunter telling a little boy (a caricture of child star Freddie Bartholomew) stories about hunting in the jungles of Africa. He tells him a story about a day he was hunting there. The game hunter gets help from African natives to catch some animals, with some odd results. Sight gags include an elephant who can't remember something he was supposed to do, and the game hunter riding a elephant and having to "shift gears" like an automobile to get up a steep hill.
