THE CARTOON CRYPT: The Old Mill Pond (1937)
Here’s a great, silly, musical Harman-Ising MGM cartoon featuring frog caricatures of Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, The Mills Brothers and Louis Armstrong (and others that I can’t identify… if you know, please let me know in the comments).
Warning: This cartoon contains offensive racial caricatures… if this sort of thing offends you, you may not want to watch it.

The Dancing Pig
Don’t miss the big finish. It’s kind of like Jan Svenkmajer crossed with Georges Méliès crossed with Sid and Marty Krofft.
Thanks much to Johnny Uma at the PCL LinkDump blog for horrifying me with this.
