Down Among the Sugar Cane

Down Among the sugar Cane (1932)

*** (out of 4)

The Fleischer Studio produced a number of these animated short films where the "bouncing ball" would have audience members singing together. The animated story kicks off with a farmer planting some seeds and up comes some sugar cane. From here some animals take over eating it and then it's time for the bouncing ball and song. If you're a fan of these shorts then you know they all basically follow the same formula and this one here isn't any different. For the most part this is an entertaining short as the animation was quite good and there were some nice laughs with it as well. The song itself, sung by Lillian Roth, was also quite good.
