Foxy sings and dances a classsic tune, in this utt

"Smile, Darn Ya, Smile!" first came to my attention when Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) entered Toon Town in Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Robert Zemeckis, 1988). It is this short that brought the song to cartoon "classic" status and the plot is up to match!! In this amusing tale, Foxy is working the local tram and must deal with the denizens (particularly the heft Hippo) while maintaining a sunny disposition. Song and animation match perfectly with a story that also includes an appearence by Roxy. This is what animation is all about if only to show us the absurdity of every day life and what else is there left to do but be happy and smile?
