In the Fleischer studio’s Hot Dog (1930), Bimbo whips out a banjo in court and starts playing a blues song. At one point, everything in the courtroom sways to the music.
The court reporter takes testimony (the scat lyrics Bimbo is singing) and plays his tongue like he’s strumming a banjo.
It’s a shame the bulk of Talkartoons haven’t been restored. They’re fun and weird.
No animators are credited. Dave Fleischer gets a screen credit as a director.
