Wissenswertes
The two lazy crows likely are derived from Stepin Fetchit (born Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry), whose name originated from his and his vaudeville partner's stage names of "Step" and "Fetchit". (Those names, in turn, had been coined after Perry won money at the racetrack betting on a horse named "Step and Fetch It".) When Perry went solo, he integrated the two names into one and later assumed it professionally.

Patzer
Sometimes the bird and the worm cast shadows on the ground and other times they do not.

8/10

worth a look

Whilst dated this is worth a look - if only for for the two crows.

Their opening scene where they are discussing the merits of early rising is very amusing.

Alas political correctness would probably rule them out today!

The rattle snake is a hoot too. The main characters - the bird and the worm - are rather twee but they provide enough entertainment to carry this 1930s short through at a fair lick.

8/10 for lovers of old style animation and watchers of historical footage. I am such a person and cartoons like this one can give insight into those early times. The director, Rudolf Ising, is highly regarded by lovers of old animation.He spent a lifetime producing and directing animated features. When the Thin Man DVD Collection was put together this was included as one of the special features. It is a good choice and gives the nostalgia lover a satisfactory glow!
