Breen appeared in nine films between 1936 and 1942. Four of those films
earned single Oscar nominations: three for Best Original Score and one for
Best Scoring. Breen's last ,in
Johnny Doughboy (1942), did not
afford him the chance to sing solo but only gave him one number, shared
with
Carl 'Alfalfa' Switzer and
George 'Spanky' McFarland. The plot revolved around
has-been child stars trying to put together a USO show. Unfortunately, Breen's speaking
voice at that point in his life - he would have been 15 - recorded like
a Disney mouse.
