Maven is so pleased to have finally
found the cartoon that she saw as a child . . . just a few years ago . . . .
After all Maven is only 29 years old!
That's her story and she's sticking
to it!
Besides, it's fun to have cartoons to
watch before starting the main movie!
censored its cartoons!

|
| "Russian Rhapsody" (1944) |
It's called Russian
Rhapsody (1944) and involves Adolf Hitler announcing that he, himself, is going by plane to take care of things in Russia.
What Hitler doesn't realize is that there are little gremlin stowaways on the plane who are bound and determined to make sure
that Der Fuhrer doesn't reach Moscow! Just click on
for this Merrie Melodies cartoon from
Warner Brothers.
| Marvin the Martian |

Remember Marvin the Martian?!
Well, he has his own web page at
See how much you remember!
There was no telling who could
wind up in a cartoon. . . .
Would you believe that Cab Calloway
did his St. James Infirmary
in a Betty Boob cartoon?!

You can also find a clip of Calloway's part at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBk3jwNSteo
And would you believe Calloway and his orchestra did "The Reefer Man" in
the comedy movie "International House" (1933) with the likes of W.C. Fields, Burns and Allen and
. . . Bela Lugosi!?!

"international" cartoon . . . fun with Donald Duck AND Carmen Miranda in Brasil AND Tico Tico no Fubá!

Just for the heck of it
. . . and if you need help to stay warm! . . . how about a little Donald Duck in Blame it on the Samba (1948).
Is it the best Donald Duck cartoon that Maven can come up with? No, but it is cute and catchy, especially if you want
a cartoon to go with Charlie Chan in Rio (1941) . . . !
