Widdy Widdy Widdy Widdy Da Wah

I have no idea what the title of this post means. They’re lyrics in Willie Whopper’s Robin Hood, Jr., made by Ub Iwerks and released in 1934.

Willie/Robin shoots an arrow at a target on a tree. Bull’s eye! And like those strength test things at the circus, the cylinder shoots up the wire and rings the bell. The tree grows a face. A bird in a house attached to the tree hands the tree a cigar, who gives it to Robin.



Grim Natwick is the credited animator, and is responsible for the Betty Boopish girl character.
