I Love To Singa, 20 February 2005
Author: Rockined1 from United States

This cute 1936 cartoon has recently been restored on the Looney Tunes Volume 2 DVD box set. You will find it's original opening titles as opposed to the BLUE RIBBON reissue titles that have been seen for years.By the way, did you know that Tommy "Butch" Bond from the OUR GANG/LITTLE RASCALS did the voice of young Owl Jolson in this cartoon, which can also be heard (in a short audio snippet) in the first episode of SOUTH PARK--the one entitled "Cartman Gets An Anal Probe"? The cartoon itself is sort of a parody of Al Jolson's real life, being put down by his family for choosing to sing a different kind of music than his family; and after all Jolson was still somewhat of a big star at Warner Bros. so he was fair game for a caricature.
