    Check on ebay, as I see this title constantly. They must have printed a lot of copies of this, but buy one that has good color screenshots.

          I guess this is a public domain cartoon. So those stories can be made to film by anyone like Cinderella, Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast are not owned by Disney.

          My 2 cents though.

            The Legend of​ Rockabye Point​ is from Walter Lantz Productions and was distributed by Universal Pictures. This was released by Universal 8 in 1979. Directed by Tex Avery, it's very, very funny. I'm unfamiliar with the second version that Chip mentioned.

              I left out that Castle Films released this in 1961 under the title of The Rockabye Legend. It was available in Standard 8mm & 16mm.

                The Disney version is with Pluto

                Universal with Chilly Willy.

                  I think I messed up big time

                  my apologies to all

                  I've just done some little homework on Google and it turns out I was wrong with the Disney title officially. It is known as

                  the legend of coyote, rock,

                  and if I am correct, the chili Willy version is called the legend of rock-a-bye point

                  https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8pq677

                  I probably did this because I'm older and I have so many films. I just got confused.

                  Once again, I apologize to everybody by listing the wrong name

                  the link above will take you to the Disney version legend of coyote rock.

                    No problem, Chip! Both films would make a good double bill!

                      Ahhh, I was confusing this cartoon with the Pluto cartoon. This is a great Tex Avery cartoon, hard to find with good color
