This one has the great Louis Armstrong!

This is one of the best of the Betty Boop shorts. With both Koko and Bimbo along for the trip, Betty is on safari and quite a chase ensues, al to the strains of the great Satchmo himself, Louis Armstrong, singing the title tune. THe animation is spectacular, with a magnificent use of Armstrong himself at points. One of his better recordings and a great mix of music and animation. If you like either jazz or animation (I love both), then this is a treat. In print and available, a masterpiece that must be seen. Most highly, happily, recommended.
