A stork emerges from the chimney. You know what a stork means. The penguin hears a noise and a stream of identical baby penguins emerge from the igloo.
They do a little dance together until papa penguin releases more and more children are coming out of the igloo. That’s the end of him. The Van Beuren artist draws stars forming from lines coming out of his body.
Gene Rodemich supplies the score. The cartoon is directed by John Foster and Harry Bailey. (Sorry for the fuzzy frame grabs, that’s the way the cartoon looks on the DVD).
Didn't Foster and Bailey know that penguins usually lay only one egg, and never lay more than two? Also, birds don't really have belly buttons...Otherwise, great! ;)

DeleteProducer Amadee J. Van Beuren first became involved in the animation industry in 1920, when he formed a partnership with Paul Terry and formed the "Aesop's Fables Studio" for the production of the Aesop's Film Fables cartoon series. Van Beuren released Terry's first sound cartoon Dinner Time (1928) (a month before Disney's Steamboat Willie) through Pathé Exchange, which later became part of RKO Pictures. Terry ran the animation studio while Van Beuren focused on other parts of the business. In 1929, Terry quit to start his own Terrytoons studio and John Foster took over the animation department. It was at this time that the Fables Studio became the Van Beuren Studio.
