| Good Little Monkeys | comment |
"Good Little Monkeys" was the tenth cartoon short in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Happy Harmonies series produced (and in this case directed) by Harman and Ising. It starred the Monkey Morality Pose simians of the title and their unforgettable theme song. The short, which premiered on April 13, 1935, followed the then common pattern of various inanimate objects, such as toys, ornaments, advertisements, or book illustrations, coming to life and frolicking while no humans are around. | |

| Good Little Monkeys / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: The Devil was all too happy to try and get his grimy hands on the monkeys and even laughed at their efforts to get away from him but the second he's faced with real adversity from the other book characters he's quick to duck back into his book. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: One of The Three Cigars in Pipe Dreams is based on Ned Sparks, a dour cigar-chomping character actor of the 1930's; in Art Gallery, Cleopatra is Mae West, a Puritan is Ned Sparks, "The Song of the Lark" is popular portly singer Kate Smith, "Maestro" is conductor Leopold Stokowski, "Mammoth Cave" is comedian Joe E. Brown, "The Town Crier" is columnist Alexander Woolcott, the man whose collar is burned off is Herbert Hoover, and "Spirit of '76" are the Marx Brothers. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Good Little Monkeys / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: ''Art Gallery". The painting of Rome burns, as do most of the other art pieces within the museum. The short ends with Nero reveling in the destruction he's caused and the traumatized Good Monkeys re-assuming their position, all closing their eyes so they can't see the carnage unfolding around them as the fire burns on unchecked. | |

Booze Flamethrower | |
| Good Little Monkeys / int_8f228548 | comment |
Booze Flamethrower: Kind of. In "Art Gallery" one of the monkeys becomes an impromptu lighter after accidentally imbibing lighter fluid, having a flame come out of his mouth every time he hiccups. The other monkeys use him as a flamethrower by having him stand in front of the lighter fluid dispenser while they pump it. | |

Omnicidal Maniac: Nero wants to burn a painting of Rome down. It is assumed that since the other paintings have people living in them that the Rome painting does as well. And of course, Nero's thrilled when the fire spreads to all the other occupied paintings. | |

| Good Little Monkeys / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: In Good Little Monkeys, The Devil tries to lure the monkeys into the inferno, but they are saved by all of the storybook characters and The Devil is chased back into his book. In Pipe Dreams, the monkeys smoke a pipe and have a wild nightmare involving dancing cigars and Mexican cigarettes. Art Galley has the monkeys helping Nero burn a portrait of Rome, destroying most of the portraits and statues in the process. | |

Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: In Pipe Dreams the Monkeys' visions are implied to be the result of underaged smoking. (Since these visions are actually rather entertaining, this may seem something of a Broken Aesop.) | |

| Good Little Monkeys / int_dfa40c1b | comment |
Didn't See That Coming: Satan either awakens or summons forth people from storybooks in order to help him tempt the Good Monkeys into evil...but doesn't expect them to keep to the morality espoused in their stories. Thus when they elect to save the monkeys from his torments he's caught flat-footed. That's what he gets for judging books by their covers. | |

| Good Little Monkeys / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Downplayed for the Monkeys. As they put it they "wouldn't be bad if they could" but when the Devil tries grabbing them they actually try to fight him off, pulling on his tail and hammering on his head. They aren't able to actually do much against him though and can only try to run away, needing the other book characters to save them. | |
