I’ve had the song from this one stuck in my head since I watched it yesterday… another great cartoon from the Fleischers, featuring Tommy Cod. How they got the fish to smoke underwater, I have no idea.
Here’s a delightful MGM cartoon directed by Rudolph Ising that has been a frequent request of my daughter’s recently. Featuring The Three Little Kittens from the nursery rhyme. The kittens don’t appear to have been in any other cartoons.
Here’s a YouTube oddity… a goofy cartoon adaptation of The Wizard of Oz from 1933 directed by Ted Eshbaugh. It has little to do with the book other than using some of the characters, and it came out six years before the movie. This may be what inspired the movie makers to have Kansas be black and white and Oz be color… or maybe it was just an obvious idea to happen at the dawn of color film.

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.

Director Bob Clampett at his craziest… and they didn’t get any crazier than Clampett. This is one of my favorite cartoons.
I’m a sucker for cartoons with monkeys in them. This is a great one. A Disney Silly Symphony, directed by Burton Gillett.
