1930s Rubber Hose Cartoon — Runaway Dough

A 10-second lost-reel 1930s black-and-white cartoon: a noodle-limbed baker's dough comes alive and chases him down a bouncing street, ending in an iris-out. Film grain, scratches, flicker and ragtime. Swap image 1 for your own rubber-hose character (draw them in the same vintage style) and rewrite the four gags.

Prompt

A lost reel from a 1930s hand-drawn cartoon, 10 seconds, 16:9, black and white. Authentic rubber-hose animation: noodle limbs, bouncing idle cycles, pie-cut eyes, bold ink outlines, flat grey tones, painted backgrounds, flickering exposure, film grain, dust and scratches. Image 1 sets the baker, the living dough and the drawing style; keep them exactly.

Shot 1 (0-2s): In the bakery, the baker sprinkles yeast into the bowl and dances a little bouncing jig; everything in the room, loaves, oven and shelves, bounces in time with him.
Shot 2 (2-4s): The dough swells into a giant grinning blob, sprouts two stubby arms and waves hello. The baker's hat shoots straight up off his head.
Shot 3 (4-7s): Side-scrolling chase. The baker runs flat out down a cartoon main street with his legs spinning into a blur, the enormous dough rolling after him, swallowing a lamppost and spitting it back out. Buildings stretch and squash as they pass.
Shot 4 (7-10s): The baker skids to a stop at an open bread oven, holds the door wide like a gentleman; the dough happily dives in. Door slams, puff of smoke, and the oven pops out one perfect loaf that lands in his arms. He winks at the camera, iris-out to black.

Snappy vaudeville timing, a jaunty ragtime piano and brass score, slide-whistle and bonk sound effects, crackling optical soundtrack. Genuine early-sound-era cartoon feel, not a modern cartoon. No text, no logos.
