Song Shopping

About This Movie

So, here's a little gem from 1933 - 'Song Shopping.' This one falls under the Fleischer Studios umbrella, known for their quirky animation style. It’s a 'Screen Song' short with Ethel Merman belting out tunes, and you can feel the lively energy in her performance, which anchors the piece. The animation is playful, with vibrant colors and fun designs that bring the songs to life. It’s got that vintage charm, and the pacing keeps it engaging, even as it weaves in and out of musical numbers. There’s a certain nostalgia tied to the era, and Merman's voice adds a layer of theatricality that elevates the experience. Really, it’s worth a watch for anyone into early animation and musical shorts.

'Song Shopping' is one of those rarities that can sometimes be tricky to find. Original prints can be quite scarce, and while there have been various transfers over the years, the quality can be hit or miss. Collector interest seems to lean towards those who appreciate the unique blend of vintage animation and musical performance. If you come across a copy, it’s likely to spark conversation among fellow enthusiasts.
