Amusing Terrytoon Operetta of World War Two Rationing
There is a new opera in town as the animals perform the title show. A butcher who cannot get any meat for his shop decides to steal a milk cow in this amusing Terrytoon.
Philip Scheib, like most of the cartoon studios' musical directors, like to stretch his wings with the occasional operetta. With this one, he offers some eccentric scoring of Rossini and Mozart, along with the usual assortment of well-executed terry studio gags. For some reason the ink-and-paint department decided to use a lot of yellow in this one. Perhaps paint was in short supply and they were running low on reds and blues.
Rationing on the home front was a civilian problem that other Terrytoons had mentioned, including rubber. Several gags in Warner Brothers cartoons mentioned gas rationing. MGM even produced a Wallace Beery feature called RATIONING.
