Bobby Bumps

Bobby Bumps

Bobby Bumps was the titular character of a series of silent animated short subjects produced by Bray Productions from 1915 to 1923. Inspired by R. F. Outcault's "Buster Brown", Bobby Bumps was a little boy who, accompanied by his dog Fido, regularly found himself in and out of mischief. The cartoons were released by Paramount Pictures as part of its "Paramount Magazine" short-subjects package.

The series was created by Earl Hurd, who directed and/or animated most of the entries in the series until he left the Bray studios in 1918. The "Bobby Bumps" cartoons were the first to be produced using the cel animation process. Previously, animated cartoons were produced using paper animation: a new drawing was made for each frame of film. With cel animation, Bray drew his characters on clear sheets of celluloid, which he placed over still backgrounds during the photography process. Cel animation revolutionized the animation industry, and Hurd and his employer J.R. Bray held a patent for the process (and received licensing payments from all studios using the process) until 1932.
