Minnie The Moocher (1932) - Talkartoons Theatrical Cartoon Series

steamboat

Again a period piece reflecting mobid economic times. Loaded with images. The ever changing backgrounds. The 4 kittens who drain their mother. The skeletons drinking at the bar. The electrocution scene. The tumbling moon at the end as our heroes make their escape. Two notable lines: "He was coky" and "showed her how to kick the gong around." These are obviously drug references. Overall, the cave and its horrors is not a fit place for nice Jewish girls. Listen also for an early example of scat singing by the nursing kittens.
