Another Krazy Kartoon
I love finding goodies from otherwise unnoteworthy old movies. Here’s The Hot Choc-Late Soldiers, an animated segment from MGM’s poky all-star comedy revue Hollywood Party (1934). Notable as one of the few things Walt Disney made for a competing studio, the cartoon was introduced by Mickey Mouse in a novel animated/live action scene (unfortunately that part’s not on YouTube anywhere). This represents the one and only time that Disney characters froliced to a song by MGM tunesmiths Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown. Cute!
