Directed by Tom Palmer
Release Date:
September 30, 1933
Main Character(s):
None
Summary:
A satire on what radio was like back in the 30s.
That’s Not All, Folks:
This is the first Merrie Melodie to use “I Think You’re Ducky” as the theme music and the last of two Warner Bros. cartoons to be directed by Tom Palmer.
What I Like About This One:
The various ways people exercise in rhythm to an exercise program.
The exercise program is revealed to be coming from a record player as the actual announcer is sound asleep!
Cros Bingsby (caricature of Bing Crosby) recording a song on the radio while taking a shower bath.
Ben Bernie conducting a record player.
A construction site saying that men are at work….at a jigsaw puzzle!
