Everybody Sings

The early Fleischer cartoons are loads of fun as objects come to life, or pop out of nowhere to say something then disappear.

In the Screen Song “I’d Climb the Highest Mountain,” everyone gets into a yodelling number, starting with three Mickey look-alikes.



Then a tree with a mouth.



Then a bird, followed by her newly-hatched off-spring.



Next, a door in an apple opens and a worm pops out to lend its voice.



Mountains in the mid-brackground join in.



The singing quasi-Mickeys are blown off a mountain-top by a singing crescent moon.



Evidently the song has exhausted the moon as it grabs a cloud and pulls it over as a blanket.



Seymour Kneitel and E.R. Timinsky (later known as Reuben Timmins) are the credited animators.
