The opening scene of the cartoons before the title card.

The series of Bendy's cartoons are a rubberhose animation show initially created by the crew members of the American animation company Joey Drew Studios in New York, NY, first debuting as early as 1929 since the studio's establishment. The show ran before the discontinuation, revealed in Bendy and the Ink Machine. The show was presented in its film process Sillyvision,[1] and as seen from numerous posters and currently six published animated shorts, the show currently reveals to contain over 32 theatrical shorts shown so far to the public knowledge.

The show featured every known character so far - Bendy, Boris the Wolf, Alice Angel, and the Butcher Gang members (Barley, Charley, and Edgar). Minor characters include the skeleton, a snowman, and a gingerbread man. According to Susie Campbell, there are other characters that were not seen, including some "talking chairs" and "dancing chickens".[2]

The following list were written and directed by Joey Drew (or so he says), with music composed by Sammy Lawrence. The early cartoons were done by the animator Henry Stein from 1929 to 1930, and it is uncertain who took over his place. The Newer cartoons were published from 1940-1969.

Trivia[]

  • The posters for the fourth Bendy and the Ink Machine chapter of the fanart contest weren't added to the game due to content-lock. They are still considered as canon.
  • A lot (if not all) of the 1929-1930s cartoons are re-released in the early 1940s as propaganda for promoting war bonds during World War II.[3]
  • A part of each Bendy cartoon appears in Chapter 5: The Last Reel of Bendy and the Ink Machine, in the throne room, except for "Little Devil Darlin'", "The Dancing Demon", "Showbiz Bendy", "Floating Demon", "All Washed Up", "The Horror House", "Construction Corruption", "Black Sheep", "Tombstone Picnic", "Haunted Hijinx", "Snow Sillies", "Cookie Cookin", and "Tasty Trio Troubles".
    • However, clips for "The Dancing Demon" and the "Bacon Soup Ad" still exist in the files.
  • In Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 5, the End Reel, Ink Bendy's weakness, was never meant to be a theatrical cartoon. When played, it merely displays a "the end" title card.
