Sliphorn King of Polaroo is 1945 Swing Symphony short.

Plot[]

This Swing Symphony cartoon from Walter Lantz features the sweet trombone playing (for Jackson) of Jack Teagarden and baritone Lee Sweetland as the speaking and singing voice of Jackson, the trombone-playing merchant-marine sailor who is shipwrecked in the icy wastes of the far north. His trombone playing knocks the native seals and penguins out of their sox, and his jive and jazz keep everyone steppin', truckin' and warm, and he is crowned the Sliphorn King of Polaroo.

Notes[]

  • Dick Lundy's directorial debut at Lantz.
  • CTC aired a restored master from the 90s of the cartoon on same one aired.
  • MeTV aired a PAL master from the 90s of the cartoon on Toon In with Me and Saturday Morning Cartoons, which is the same one aired by CTC in Russia.
  • This is the only Swing Symphony cartoon directed by Dick Lundy.
  • This is the final Swing Symphony cartoon.
  • Early storyboards show Wally Walrus in the role of Jackson, the Sliphorn King of Polaroo. For whatever reason, Wally was dropped and the character was played by a lion in the finished cartoon.
    • However, a walrus side character was added who bares a close resemblance to Wally.
