Mutt and Jeff: Playing with Fire (1919) is a hilarious silent-era cartoon featuring the iconic duo in one of their earliest animated misadventures. Based on the comic strip created by Bud Fisher, this short has Mutt and Jeff trying their hand at firefighting — with predictably chaotic and explosive results.

Animated by the pioneering Barré Studio, the film uses old-school animation techniques, slapstick humor, and charmingly exaggerated expressions to deliver timeless comedy that still holds up today.
