Production notes
Grim Natwick always had a great track record for drawing sexy females in animated cartoons, and "Mariutch" is a perfect example. He is also noted for Betty Boop (whom Natwick largely created) and animating the lead character of Snow White in Disney's first full-length animated feature in 1937.
This series of animated cartoons- sometimes including bits of live action- took popular songs of the day and combined the popular "bouncing ball" following the lyrics in an effort for audience singalongs.
Max Fleischer is listed as the animator in the Library of Congress copyright catalog.
