"Smile, Darn Ya, Smile!" is the perfect song/cartoon title for downtrodden Americans during the Great Depression. The USA needed a fair amount of cheering up in the early 1930s, and Warner Bros. cartoons came to the rescue! In this film, the character Foxy is a trolley car operator who instigates some amusing adventures.
My two favorite moments from this cartoon: An advertisement for Sniff Brothers Cough Drops shows two bearded dogs who are quite funny, and a quartet of hobos sings the title song.
"Smile, Darn Ya, Smile!" is a cartoon that bursts with energy and great musical accompaniment, like so many other cartoons of the time. The voice acting in this cartoon is not so great, but I can overlook that; it wouldn't be too long before our friend Mel Blanc would come into the fold.
