No it wasn't swing wedding, and I know it wasn't made by MGM. I'm looking for a cartoon that like this and the swing wedding but made by a different company.

@RingoandCarlin it's MGM swing wedding when you look at this one it should be in the suggestions on the side.

Can anybody upload that cartoon that had frogs that sounded like Louie Armstrong, Fats Waller and Cab Calloway and they were singing a song I think was called I want cookies. I'd like to see that again.
