According to Wikipedia: 

My Old Kentucky Home is a short animation film originally released on March 13, 1926, by Max and Dave Fleischer of Fleischer Studiosas one of the Song Car-Tunes series.[1]#cite_note-1) The series, between May 1924 and September 1926, eventually totaled 36 films, of which 19 were made with sound. This cartoon features the original lyrics of "My Old Kentucky Home" (1853) by Stephen Foster, and was recorded in the Lee de Forest Phonofilmsound-on-film system.

My Old Kentucky Home appears to be the first attempt at animated dialogue in cartoon history, as a dog, named Pinkie the Pup,[2]#cite_note-2) in the film mouths the words "Follow the ball, and join in, everybody" in remarkable synchronization though the animation was somewhat limited, making sure that lip-synch was synchronized perfectly. The Fleischers had previously started the follow the bouncing ball) gimmick in their Song Car-Tune My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean(released on September 15, 1925).

This film came two years after the Fleischers started the Song Car-Tune series in May 1924.

Now that this important piece of animation is now 100 years old, it would be a great to post it!

The world's first female filmmaker, French-born Alice Guy entered the film business in 1896 as a secretary at Gaumont, a manufacturer of movie cameras and projectors who had purchased a "cinématographe" from its inventors, the Lumiere brothers.

The next year Gaumont became the world's first motion picture production company when they switched to creating movies, and Guy became its first film director. She impressed the company so much with the output (she averaged two two-reelers a week) and quality of her productions that by 1905 she was made the company's production director, supervising its other directors.

For over a century, Charlie Chaplin's 1921 masterpiece The Kid has been trapped in grainy, degraded film stock. I wanted to see what this classic looked like the day it was released, so I spent countless hours doing a complete digital restoration.

The Restoration Process:

• Video Cleanup: Digitally cleaned the original 35mm print to remove heavy grain, scratches, and visual noise while carefully preserving the authentic film textures and actors' faces.
• 4K Upscale: Enhanced the footage to a pristine 4K resolution, ensuring the pure, original 4:3 aspect ratio was strictly protected.
• The Audio: To keep the authentic silent film experience intact, I avoided adding modern sound effects. Instead, I synced a high-fidelity musical score to perfectly carry the emotion of Chaplin and Jackie Coogan's performances.

The result feels less like an old movie and more like a time machine.

Let me know what you think of the visual clarity, and as fans of true silent film, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this preservation effort!
