Cartoon Synopsis:

A documentary newsreel (in Universal's "Going Places" series) offering an in-depth glimpse into the Universal/Walter Lantz animation studio, featuring narration by legendary newsman Lowell Thomas.

Assembly-line steps from script to screen in the creation of the Oswald The Rabbit cartoon "The Softball Game" are shown. Glimpses are given of the story development, creator Walter Lantz himself pitching in with gags and direction with a very Brooklynese twang, animators at work making funny faces, cel tracers, composers, background painters, cameramen, voice artists, sound effects and music departments, and more.
