Production notes

Silent film.

Originally conceived as a feature-length animated film, "The Story of the Flag" was broken up into six episodes and released as half-reel shorts. Had this been released as a feature-length animated film, it would have preceded Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by nearly ten years.

Although silent, the series was reissued in 1935 for educational purposes. The names of episodes 4 to 6 apparently have been lost.
