Collected Letters of the Widow Flannigan

I Love To Singa - a Merrie Melodies short by Tex Avery (1936)

A send-up of Al Jolson’s film The Jazz Singer featuring a little owl who just wants to SWING! Also I lol’d at “Jack Bunny”. Owl Jolson is voiced by none other than Little Rascals’ Tommy Bond, who you might recognize from this popular clip.
