Lol Gable swimming on his ears and Garbo on her feet XD

[bluenohra]

WOW! that was racist!

[HunterMann]

@bluenohra The cartoonist exaggerated EVERYONE'S looks, so I guess you could say it was racist towards all the whites too, right? Obviously a cartoon like this is seen as politically incorrect these days, but if you watch this in the context of it being a 1940's cartoon, it is exactly what was acceptable back then. This is barely racist...if you want to see a doozy, see the Walter Lantz cartoon Syncopated Souix...

Was the Fred and Ginger dance number rotoscoped from exixting film footage? I know they used that technique for "Sally Strand" ''s bubble dance routine in "Hollywood Steps Out", made this same year.

[BadBooking]

@HaggisMcCrablice Actually sir, that footage was reused from a cartoon in 1937 called "September in the Rain".

Also directed by Friz Freleng.

Ned Sparks and Fanny "Baby Snooks" Brice were hilarious!

"I don't want to be covered with sand."

"Why?"

"Because I don't like to be covered with sand."

"WAAH-HAH-HAH!!!!!!"

Actually thank my dad, he's the reason why I know about a lot of these celebrities. Among the first that he introduced me to were Marx Bros, Laurel and Hardy, and Abbot and Costello.
