Rip Van Winkle (1924)

After a strenuous set-to with his domineering spouse, Rip Van Winkle is driven from his home and seeks solace in the neighboring mountains. He meets some dwarfs and helps them push a huge cask up a steep hill only to find, after his labor, he has given a free ride to some lazy dwarfs concealed therein. He engages in a game of bowls with them, but they bewitch the pins and he loses. Consoling himself with quaffing some of their potent ale, he falls asleep and wakes up twenty years afterwards. He and his dog - both with beards - seek out their former haunts. They find times have changed. Mrs. Van Winkle is still a flapper, the children are full-grown and the village is a thriving town. He is welcomed back to the family hearth, however, and all ends happily.
