Скачать или смотреть The Puppy Who Wanted a Boy - 1978 - English Soundtrack

This has been professionally restored from a 16mm reel that was sold off by a library in the US, where it was part of an educational pack with suggested classroom activities on the back of the storage can. Unfortunately it had vinegar syndrome and a strong colour shift into Magenta. Apologies for that but I hadn't been able to find it in better condition.

I've put another copy at archive.org with pics of the classroom activities

Petey the puppy was originally introduced in four half-hour television specials which aired as part of ABC Weekend Specials series from 1978 to 1981: The Puppy Who Wanted a Boy, The Puppy's Great Adventure, The Puppy's Amazing Rescue and The Puppy Saves the Circus.

The Puppy Who Wanted a Boy and its three sequels were frequently rebroadcast on ABC Weekend Specials and proved so popular with its annual replays that ABC commissioned a television series. In September 1982, Petey could be seen weekly in The Puppy's New Adventures as part of the second half of The Scooby & Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour block with Billy Jacoby voicing Petey and Nancy McKeon as his female puppy girlfriend Dolly. The following year, Petey and his pals were given their own half-hour timeslot in a follow-up series under the new title The Puppy's Further Adventures. Following the show's original run, a repackaging of both seasons were shown in reruns under the title The Puppy's Great Adventures on ABC in 1984 and resurfaced on CBS in 1986.

Comment: I wonder if at 2:17 the puppy turning himself into a cube or a ball is a reference to the ancient theologian Origen's theory on bodily resurrection (200s AD). The joke at the time was that he abstracted everything and geometrized so much that people might as well be resurrected as cubes or spheres. Maybe the cartoon was lost because it was advancing a heretical pneumatology in which puppies are souls and they pre-exist their owners.
