Tommy Tucker's Tooth is a live-action short film directed by Walt Disney at his short-lived Laugh-O-Grams studio in Kansas City from 1922.[1] The format was black and white, and without sound.
Content
[edit]The film was one of two commissioned by Kansas City Dentist Thomas B. McCrum. It earned the Laugh-O-Gram studio $500. It extols the virtue of regular tooth brushing through the story of two boys: Tommy Tucker and Jimmie Jones. Tommy cares for his teeth, while Jimmie does not. The film ends with advice on proper tooth-brushing technique.
Follow-up short
[edit]In 1926 Disney made the follow-up short Clara Cleans Her Teeth, starring Walt's niece Marjorie Sewell Davis, after being contacted by McCrum again, who asked for a sequel.
