In 1916, Bud Fisher licensed the production of Mutt and Jeff for animation with pioneers Charles Bowers and Raoul Barré of the Barré Studio. This resulted in 292 animated Mutt and Jeff shorts, making it the longest-running theatrical animated short series of the silent era, second to Krazy Kat in terms of years. Series ran from 1916 to 1923 and 1925-1926.
A few shorts of the second run were re-shot in the early-1930s by the Modern Film Sales Corporation with the Kromocolor process and reissued with sound effects and music tracks. Some of which were reissued in 1934 from the usage of the Brunswick Sound System.
