Toons You Might've Missed: In My Merry Oldsmobile (1931)

In addition to Betty Boop, Popeye, and Out of The Inkwell, the Fleischer brothers, Max & Dave, also were producing shorts for various sponsors at movie theatres.

"In My Merry Oldsmobile", from 1931, is one such film, animated by Jimmy (Shamus) Culhane, extolling the virtues of the Oldsmobile line from General Motors.



Since it has the bouncing ball musical segments, I think this could be part of the Screen Songs series. This hasn't seen the light of day on TV that I know of.

Rating: B.
