What was this bootleg-recorded silent cartoon? Sept 8, 2018 10:15:00 GMT

I distinctly remember going on the LMW or a similar site a few years back (March 2015). Ended up on YouTube watching a bootleg in-theater recording of an old silent cartoon. Looked to be from the 20's or 30's, possibly very early Disney. It was prefaced by someone saying something along the lines of "this is the only time you will ever see this". The cartoon involved a kid going fishing - one scene had him being chased by a fish. It was silent and in black and white, with live piano accompaniment. I haven't been able to find it since, and my browser history doesn't go back that far (it was on a dead computer). It's NOT Poor Papa or The Little Pest. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or did I just hallucinate this?

On the very off chance of you responding to a 4 year old thread, are you sure it was the 30s? Cartoons had sound by 1927. Cartoons before then didn’t have the stereotypical “squash and stretch” animation style. Do you remember what the style looked like specifically? It would help at least narrow down the year(s) greatly.

Kind of interesting how you say that because the cartoon I thought of did seem to have had sound, but the version found had all of the audio missing & it looked to have been made in the 1940s, having possibly been in color.

Nice to see someone solve what the cartoon was, even if it wasn't that other cartoon that I mentioned.
