Goosophone

Musical notes from a saxophone turn into geese (that sound like ducks) in Pencil Mania, a fun 1932 Tom and Jerry cartoon from the Van Beuren studio.



Then Jerry sets down the saxophone and it turns into a happy dancing goose.



Finally the goose honks at Tom and ends its cartoon life.



John Foster and George Stallings are credited with overseeing the cartoon, with Gene Rodemich adding “I’m Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover,” “Yes! We Have No Bananas,” “Rag Doll,” “You’ve Got Me in the Palm of Your Hand” and “Play That Hot Guitar” on the sound track. I don’t know what the music is when Jerry is creating geese from notes, but Rodemich picked some good mood tunes.
