In features, Columbia would begin to cement the reputation of the screwball comedy with \u201cIf You Could Only Cook\u201d. \u201cOne Night Of Love\u201d would prove a success in musicals, starring Grace Moore.  The shorts division was beginning to bloom with the entries of Ted Healy\u2019s former trio of partners.  And the animation division began to take a route more closely paralleling the efforts of Walt Disney, moving into color production with the two-strip Color Rhapsodies, and also working to embellish the models and smoothness of motion of both Scrappy and Krazy Kat.  <\/p>\n<p>We begin with an overlooked title from the preceding season.  In <strong>Antique Antics<\/strong> (6\/14\/33), Krazy is working in an antique store, and the merchandise seems like it\u2019s coming alive.  No spectacular gags, but genial enough.  <strong>Song:<\/strong> \u201cMarche Militaire\u201d by Franz Schubert.  A piano solo by Mischa Levitzki on Columbia flag label, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra conducted Alfred Hertz on Victor red seal. the Brunswick Salon Orchestra conducted by Mortimer Palitz on Brunswick and reissued on Columbia, Sir Hamilton Harty and the London Philharmonic on British Columbia, the Royal Opera Orchestra of Covent Fardens conducted by Eugene Goossens on HMV, Armand Bernard on the French Pacific label post-war, the Boston Pops on Victor Red Seal. <\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Franz Schubert - Marche Militaire (ORCHESTRA)\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UKEiOiluqTY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<hr style=\"color: #000000; background-color: #000000; height: 2px; border: none;\"\/>\n<p><strong>Scrappy\u2019s Toy Shop<\/strong> (4\/15\/34) \u2013 A collection of the standard midnight in a toy shop gags, with Scrappy and Oopie getting involved in winding up and activating them.  Scrappy tries to keep Oopie occupied with a ventriloquist act, but Oopie would rather set off mayhem among the toy soldiers and weaponry.  <strong>Song<\/strong>: \u201cThe Toymaker\u2019s Dream\u201d, a 1929 novelty song which was the template for many midnight in a toy shop cartoons.  Victor released a vocal version by Vaughn DeLeath.  The Anglo-Persians performed it for Brunswick, Sam Lanin and his famous Players on Okeh, Lou Gold on Harmony, Velvet Tone, and Diva, and another Sam Lanin group on Banner, Regal, et al.

Eventually, he picks up on something when Oopie finishes a line.  He writes it down and calls his girlfriend, plays it for her over the phone, and it becomes a \u201cLet\u2019s put on a show\u201d scenario, which would become the basic plot of about six MGM musicals.  Oopie is as usual in the way, and responsible for some gags including stage curtain mishaps.  But Scrappy and his girl do manage to get the song in, which includes some cat howls in the melody.  However, the tune never seems to have become a true theme song for the series, and may never have been heard again.  <strong>Song:<\/strong> \u201cI Love You and You Love Me\u201d, the song composed by Scrappy in the film, likely an original by De Nat and\/or whoever wrote the story.

In a typical backstage musical setting a la 42nd Street, Krazy Kat takes the role of a Broadway producer, rehearsing a line of dancers (obtaining synchronous high-kicks by roping their ankles like marionettes).  Kitty wants to join the chorus, but Krazy is resistant, considering her talents to be dubious.  When she starts trying to perform as Shakespeare\u2019s Juliet, Krazy raises her balcony into the rafters, so high she could perform a high dive.  Krazy\u2019s chosen leading lady, a fat soprano frog, arrives in a limousine so long it follows the contours of the street.  Kitty falls upon her during the rehearsal, giving the frog a complete frog in her throat.  With no other to take the lead, Kitty is finally hired, and goes into heavy rehearsal.  The show goes on, complete with a Latin number, a fan dance, and a spectacular finale tributing the N.R.A.  Amidst the cheers of the crowd and a stage full of flowers, the triumphant duo share an on-stage kiss.  <strong>Songs:<\/strong> an array of originals, all of which seem to fit the milieu to a \u201cT\u201d, including an opening chorus line number (\u201cWe\u2019re the Katnip Follies of 1940\u2033), the Latin number (\u201cThe Tap-Tapioca\u201d, a song clearly inspired by \u201cThe Carioca\u201d from RKO\u2019s first Astaire-Rogers picture, \u201cFlying Down To Rio\u201d, complete with Krazy and Kitty dancing with foreheads together), a tribute to the Sally Rand fan dance (\u201cThe Girl With the Fan\u201d, often trimmed from prints aimed at the kiddies), and the anti-Depression finale (\u201cOh, Boy, What a New Deal\u201d).  <\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Katnips of 1940 (1934)\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OBGT35wNRcE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<hr style=\"color: #000000; background-color: #000000; height: 2px; border: none;\"\/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cartoonresearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Holidayland-Scrappyposter.jpg\" rel=\"prettyphoto[89635]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cartoonresearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Holidayland-Scrappyposter-198x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-59808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cartoonresearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Holidayland-Scrappyposter-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/cartoonresearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Holidayland-Scrappyposter-99x150.jpg 99w, https:\/\/cartoonresearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Holidayland-Scrappyposter.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\"\/><\/a><strong>Holiday Land<\/strong> (11\/9\/34) \u2013 At last! Columbia decides to spring for two-strip Technicolor.  They couldn\u2019t get the three-strip variety yet, which remained the exclusive of Disney.  This is one of the rare color appearances of Scrappy, who insists on remaining in bed despite his mother\u2019s insistence that he get up for school.  Scrappy wishes that every day were a holiday, so that he could stay in bed all day long.  Suddenly, his wish seems to be granted, as a gust of wind from the window blows pages of a wall calendar down, and the characters associated with the various holidays of the year emerge from the pages, along with a miniature Father Time.  Scrappy is taken by them to a land where all the holidays of the year are on display in tableau, as a parade of pageants behind various curtains, including Christmas, New Year\u2019s Day, Easter, and Thanksgiving.  (No Halloween curtain is depicted, although witches and pumpkins appear in the calendar sequence \u2013 actually, why are they there anyway, considering that schools don\u2019t get that day off?)  Scrappy takes a position as guest of honor at the Thanksgiving banquet table, and Father Time offers a toast to him \u2013 but his voice changes to that of Scrappy\u2019s mother, and Scrappy finds himself waking up from what was merely been a dream.  He races through his morning routine, readying himself for school, gets only a few steps out the door, then U-turns and leaps right back into bed again for the iris out.  <strong>Songs<\/strong>: again all originals, including \u201cSleepy Head\u201d (not to be confused with identical title from the MGM picture, \u201cOperator 13\u2033), \u201cCome, Ye Boys\u201d and a second drinking song, which I\u2019ll just call \u201cHolidayland Drinking Song\u201d, and some custom lyrics to various holiday carols.  All likely written by Joe De Nat and unknown lyricist. <\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"341109 Scrappy - Holiday Land\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NUf9gv7ijmQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<hr style=\"color: #000000; background-color: #000000; height: 2px; border: none;\"\/>\n<p><strong>Krazy\u2019s Waterloo<\/strong> (11\/16\/34) \u2013 Napoleon (Krazy) is raising up an army for his latest campaign.  Though the title refers to Waterloo, the action actually takes place in the height of winter on the Russian front \u2013 another of Napoleon\u2019s major defeats.  Krazy says goodbye to his paramour Josephine (Kitty) before going off to battle.  She seems well prepared for his departure, with about nine other suitors waiting behind the furniture.  The battle is full of Bolshevik bombs which do a number on Krazy\u2019s troops, and Krazy himself ends the film in a small boat, sailing for exile to St. Helena.  <strong>Songs:<\/strong> several originals.

And so, the baby is sent back home \u2013 where he revives from a near drowning in the well.  A narrative song continues to warn that he must be goof to grow up well.

They capture one who trades a magic wishing ring for her freedom.  Oopie makes a wish that he was a butterfly.- and shrinks down to size, sprouting wings.  But he fails to match the grace of the real species, and is taunted by the local wildlife.  A bird eyes him as a tasty morsel, and a chase ensues, including into Scrappy\u2019s wardrobe, causing several holes in Scrappy\u2019s pants.  Eventually, Oopie finds the ring again, and wishes himself back into a boy.
