Censored 11 part 2

The next cartoon of the censored 11 is one of the great Hollywood musical films. The great musical performance of "Swing For Sale", written by Saul Chaplin and Sammy Chan and proformed here by The Four Blackbirds and Danny Webb rivals performances from any of the other great Hollywood musicals of the 1930's. This film is another classic from animation legend Friz Freling. Freling excelled at musical cartoons and even after the obligatory song numbers were no longer a mandatory part of the Merrie Melodies series he continued using music heavily in his films. Scenes from this film were later reused in the cartoon "Have You Got an Castles" directed by Frank Tashlin. However that cartoon was not included in the censored 11, and is readily available on DVD. So from 1937 and directed by Friz Freling here is, Clean Pastures.

Up next is a cartoon from another animation legend Tex Avery. Tex Avery had redefined the sense of humor and the style of story telling of Warner Brothers cartoons. Up until he came to Warners their cartoons had been very similar to those of Disney. This is not to say they weren't good (or even great) cartoons but the sense of originality that would later define them was missing. Although this is far from one of his best films at Warners it shows his style. Tex would make some of the funniest cartoons ever made both at Warners and MGM, and would play an important role in the creation of Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, and Droopy. So from 1937 and directed by Tex Avery, here is Uncle Tom's Bungalow.
