Dick Lundy - "Kiddie Koncert"

Wow, that was great! I absolutely LOVE the shorts set to music like that. I've seen a couple of Shamus Culhane's Swing Symphonies, and they are fantastic! Are there any DVD collections of musical shorts like this?

What saves this cartoon is the animation of Ed Love, Sid Pillett and whoever else was in the unit (was Ken O'Brien still there?)
Most of the gags strike me as akin to those you'd find in an early '30s musical cartoon (like characters within horns within horns). But they're so well presented here.
It's also a tour de force for Darrell Calker, showing he was comfortable with both classical and boogie-woogie arrangements.
There's really no comparison between a cartoon like this and the other U-A releases with the stuff that Lantz produced when he re-opened and resumed releasing for Universal-International a few years later.
Yowp
