LEGENDARY! One of the all time great cartoons, so delightful. Don't waste 2 hours of your life watcing Happy Feet (which takes its inspiration from this short), see this instead, I promise you won't be displeased. Owl Jolsen is my hero!

I'm watching The Golden Collection in order and this is the first one that really knocks it out of the park. The story is great, for one thing. All the character designs are distinctive and funny. It also has the sort of irreverent edge Looney Tunes came to be known for. Just amazing all around.

One of the most elemental narratives in humankind distilled into a few short, wonderful minutes. This isn't simplicity, it's artistic brevity. Who doesn't love this cartoon?

A lot of praise has been heaped upon this cartoon over the years, and I only think it's because it was made by Tex Avery. It's a cute little story, but I prefer the frantic nature of Avery's best work at the studio, which would surface in the following years.

Kind of cute and not at all racist (to be honest, I had different expectations of a 1930s cartoon parody of The Jazz Singer)

Simple, cute, and there's feeling too, somehow. But isn't this a kind of perfection?

Great short even if I didn't care for the song that Owl Jolson kept singing.

Decent enough parody of The Jazz Singer (1927). Can I say it's a little one-note? [Extra on The Jazz Singer DVD.]

Probably one of the first good ones in the early LT/MM catalogue that's aged perfectly fine.
