Screen Songs	comment	Screen Songs is the name of a series of animated cartoons produced by the Fleischer Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures between 1929 and 1938, serving as a sister series to Talkartoons. They were revived by Famous Studios in 1945 starting with the Noveltoons short "When G.I. Johnny Comes Home". It morphed into Kartunes by mid-1951 after Max Fleischer sued Paramount over the use of both the series name and the words "bouncing ball", and lasted to 1953—1954, if you count the Noveltoons short "Candy Cabaret", which follows the same format as the previous cartoons. The formula was tried one last time in the 1963 Noveltoon "Hobo's Holiday".A quick history of the series can be found here.

Screen Songs / int_27a42ebc	type	Spiritual Successor
Screen Songs / int_27a42ebc	comment	Spiritual Successor: The "Kartunes" shorts were just Screen Songs with a new name attached to them. The Screen Songs themselves are a successor to the Song Car-Tunes that Fleischer had made in the late 1920's, notable for experimenting with sound a couple of years before the premiere of Steamboat Willie. Disney Sing-Along Songs successfully brought the "follow the bouncing ball" concept to a new generation from 1986-2006, (generally) culling songs from existing Disney films. Screen Songs weren't foreign to Disney, either, as a segment of the "Jingle Bells" sequence from Snow Foolin' (by then in the public domain) was used in Very Merry Christmas Songs (1988).

Screen Songs / int_5f70322e	type	Public Domain Soundtrack
Screen Songs / int_5f70322e	comment	Public Domain Soundtrack: In addition to using licensed songs (often featured on then-current Paramount films), the shorts often employed traditional music cues (i.e. in "My Baby Just Cares For Me", when the protagonist finds a horse, a snippet of "The Old Gray Mare" plays).

Screen Songs / int_985795ab	comment	Medium Blending: While animated, the Fleischer Screen Songs would often include live-action footage of many popular orchestras and singers of the day, some of which interacted with regular characters, like Betty Boop and later on, Wiffle Piffle, a short, bald man.

Screen Songs / int_ea5c413d	comment	Biting-the-Hand Humor: In “Toys Will be Toys” During the parade a wind-up Popeye toy rolls out watering a can of spinach, which produces a boxing glove and socks the sailor in the face. This was probably an outlet from those on the Famous Studios Staff who weren’t happy with the quality of the Popeye shorts being made...
