According to Salda's research, "Bosko's Knight-Mare," a 1933 animated short, is the earliest example of Arthurian animation. Here is one version of the film (Salda suggests there was originally a longer version) from Dailymotion. (There was also a video on YouTube, but it has been removed for copyright infringement.)
The film offers an interesting adaptation of the Connecticut Yankee story, and Salda's discussion offer much insight into its contexts and relationship with the Arthurian tradition.
