Color Cartoon From 1934

[PsnChyphenMain]

This Video was from a Movie called "Hollywood Party" (1937) and it was a Awesome movie for it's time, Just seen it not too long ago and for my time it was amazing.

Mickey was suppose to appear in another MGM movie titled "Anchors Aweigh" with Gene Kelly. However when Walt Disney denied the rights to Mickey, Jerry Mouse of Tom and Jerry fame was picked instead.

That guy fighting with Mickey in the beginning sounds like Spike the dog from Tom and Jerry.

[KlandestinosProd]

@CDCB2 The guy you mean was Jimmy Durante.

[Hotshotter3000]

What movie was this sequence from?

[mujerado]

@Hotshotter3000 A 1934 MGM movie, The Hollywood Party, one of those all star cameo movies. The 3 Stooges are in it as autograph hounds, and Laurel & Hardy are chased by a whole gang of waiters. It's not a very good movie. The Hot Choc-Late Soldiers is way the best part.

5:31, The Trojan Pigeon FTW.

Love it!

[Yowzahh]

Cool. This was apparently made when Mickey was still mischievous. Great to see him again in Retro style!

Bit of a hollow victory for the chocolate soldiers if you ask me.

[SimuRei]

That Sun is such a bastard.

[videos4everybody]

WOW! A MGM film with Disney's Mickey Mouse! Never thought I would see that!

[classicsguy626]

@videos4everybody An mgm film with mickey mouse owned by turner entertainment, which is now part of warner bros.! That means he is part of Warner Bros.! Sort of.

I think the singer said that the soldiers were filled with rum "a tummy full of rum"

1930's shit is fucking funny.

[fromthesidelines]

MGM produced "Hollywood Party"; Disney's staff produced the animation of Mickey and "Hot Choc-late Soldiers" featured in this sequence; apparently this was a "special arrangement" between both studios that was never attempted again {later reissues of "Hollywood Party" deleted this footage}.

Smurf, I'd disagree on the laws; not that you're incorrect but that this is probably supposed to allude to the Trojan Horse.

[StarySky777]

this is great what 2 studios collaborated on it?

[pioneerliz]

disney has certainly strayed a long way from its roots eh? there are some pretty dark cartoons from this era. look up the ww2 ones!

[smurfswacker]

Never saw this before. Technically it's excellent but the subtext of the cartoon is really creepy. Our "heroes" defeat the enemy by smuggling warriors into their castle under a flag of peace (the Dove of Peace, no less), which even then was a violation of the "Laws of War." And in the end the victorious soldiers all die, melted by the jolly ol' sun. Hum.

[mujerado]

@smurfswacker I guess you don't recognize the cartoon version of the Trojan Horse. Really? You're really getting moral on a cartoon?

[PsnChyphenMain]

@smurfswacker If you go back into History and see Greece and the Trojan horse... they basically did the same thing.

[rush1er]

@smurfswacker The sun represents the Eye of Horus. Its a Sun God we are forced to worship even today. EVer look at CBS's logo?

[voglesque89]

This is adorable :)

[JessAstroBase]

yay thank you for posting this! i found the "hot chocolate soldiers" video but the sound quality is poor and this has the full intro! so kool! i love this cartoon! :)

[laughland]

I love it - a rare collaboration between these two studios.

[WillardPugh]

Great fun. Who wrote the score (as opposed to the Brown/Freed song)? Was Oliver Wallace at Disney at the time? The entire battle music sounds like vintage silent film scoring--- a bit dated by 1934 but just up Wallace's alley. Just wondering...

[twentiesDOLL12213]

Cute! The color is really good for 1934.
