Croon Crazy - Cubby Bear (1933)

In "Croon Crazy" Cubby Bear is the host of a live radio show who finds all his guests cancelling at the last moment, leaving him to impersonate them. The guests include stars such as Al Jolson, Mae West and Paul Whiteman.
About Cubby Bear: in the early 1930s every cartoon studio was trying to mimic the success of Disney's Mickey Mouse by creating similar characters of their own. Cubby Bear was the Mickey Mouse clone created at the Van Beuren studio and appeared in 20 cartoons in 1933 and 1934.

Those few seconds of Jolson were genius, whole cartoon was great actually-never seen/heard of it till now, Van Beuren seems one of the harder studios to find-thanks!

[@steepertree]

To my mind, the best Cubby cartoon of all.

[@DavidGarbo]

Oh I love this action of Mae West! Oh whoa! that's charm!

Cubby Bear, AKA Brownie Bear. I have one of his 8mm shorts from the 1930's.

The North Pole segment (4:24) with the dancing Eskimo girls and melting igloos reminds me of the "Turn On the Heat" dance number from the 1929 musical, Sunny Side Up.

What is the name of the song or the artist at 1:50 ??

[@fromthesidelines]

Gene Rodemich usually had several jazz "legends" working in his Van Beuren recording sessions (including McKenzie)...Benny Goodman played a few extended solos for Rodemich on the 1932 Van Beuren soundtrack for Charlie Chaplin's "One A.M.".

[@dogerecords5312]

Are there any copies of that print available online?

[@fromthesidelines]

There is- and it's the one featured in Guaranteed Pictures' "Charlie Chaplin Cavalcade" (1941): ua-cam.com/video/SZVfWzYPbuU/v-deo.html

@jmen4ever Not jugs, but a rear end. The moon gets mooned!

[@gnikcohs]

At 1:45 or so thought those were breasts at first, but looking again they are certainly buttocks, love the expression on the moon's face.
3:30 however is definitely a Dr. Sivana lookalike.
BTW Cubby was, I believe, called Cubby throughout his theatrical career. But when the cartoons were released on 8 and/or 16mm film for the home market his name was changed to Brownie and his girl friend had a name change from Cuddles to Honey. The best one I have seen so far is called Bubbles and Troubles

[@Gaffer0]

i believe it looks more like a..eh eheh, rear-end
