Kiddie Koncert is a 1948 Musical Miniature short starring Wally Walrus.

Plot[]

Wally Walrus is the conductor at a local schoolhouse who conducts the entire school band to the tune of "Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna". Among the gags set to music: A skunk is forced to play his instrument outside, a caterpillar resting on a guitar is pursued by the rooster playing it, and one boy uses his knitting needles to play the drums (when he plays a rather long piece, he knits two pairs of socks!). The piece ends when Wally becomes entangled with bubble gum that one boy has been blowing through his trumpet.

Notes[]

  • Sid Pillet was credited for animating this cartoon alongside Ed Love, however his name does not appear in the animation draft sheet. The possibility for Pillet's credit could be however him working in this short exclusively as the effects animator, which was not a designated credit for Lantz cartoons at the time, if at all.
  • This is the last of cartoons where Jack Mather does not voice Wally Walrus.
  • CTC aired a restored master from the 90s of the cartoon on same one aired.
  • MeTV's Saturday Morning Cartoons' airing of this short has the 1947-1954 Universal-International opening logo before switching to the rest of the short's opening titles. A similar error occurred on the Andy Panda short "Crow Crazy", the Musical Miniature short "Pixie Picnic" and The Beary Family short "Fowled-Up Birthday".
  • This is the only Musical Miniature cartoon to feature dialogue.
