Storyline

A very stern owl who teaches 'voice, piano & violin, but no jazz!' becomes a father of four. Very soon, three of his boys turn out to be musical talents in the classical repertoire. The fourth however, isn't into classical music but into jazz. When he keeps singing jazz songs, the father decides that enough is too much and turns him into the street, much to the distress of the mother. While joyously walking and singing through the forest, the young son stumbles across a radio audition day and decides to try his luck. Written by Marco van Hoof <k_luifje7@hotmail.com>

I Love to Singa... about the Moon-a and the June-a...
13 August 2001 | by (Flushing, NY) – See all my reviews

Tex Avery spoof of the movie the Jazz Singer. (The main character's name is Owl Jolson). Four owls are born to a music conductor. 3 show promise of operatic/symphonic greatness, but the fourth wants to sing jazz. Dad kicks him out so he decides to go audition on the radio. Enjoyable. Rating, out of cartoons, 9 out of 10.
