Dancing Dachshund

Plot? In a Van Beuren cartoon, who needs it? Just toss in a fish singing to a cheese, a pig on a fire escape clouting a pail and a parrot with an outrageously huge head, and you have seven minutes of musical strangeness.

Oh, you have to have a wiener dog swaying and bending like a rubber hose while yodelling.



Yes, it’s The Tuba Tooter, a 1932 cartoon starring the human Tom and Jerry. The cartoon is kind of a music video set to the 1927 song “Schultz is Back Again.” Gene Rodemich provides the score, with John Foster and George Stallings overseeing the production.
