  • The Screen Songs are a continuation of the earlier Fleischer series Song Car-Tunes. They are sing-along shorts featuring the famous "bouncing ball", a sort of precursor to modern karaoke videos. They often featured popular melodies of the day. The early Song Car-Tunes were among the earliest sound films, produced two years before The Jazz Singer. They were largely unknown at the time because their release was limited to the chain of 36 theaters operated by The Red Seal Pictures Company, which was equipped with the early Lee DeForest Phonofilm sound reproduction equipment. The Red Seal theater chain-formed by the Fleischers, DeForest, Edwin Miles Fadiman, and Hugo Riesenfeld-went from the East Coast to Columbus, Ohio.
    Between May 1924 and September 1926, the Fleischers released 36 Song Car-Tunes series, with 19 using the Phonofilm sound-on-film process. The films included Oh Mabel, Come Take a Trip in My Airship, Darling Nelly Gray, Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?, and By the Light of the Silvery Moon. Beginning with My Old Kentucky Home (1926), the cartoons featured the "follow the bouncing ball" gimmick, that lead the audience singing along with the film. The other 17 films in the Song Car-Tunes series were silent, designed to be shown with live music in movie theaters.
    The Fleischers were ahead of the sound revolution, and just missed the actual change when Red Seal Pictures filed for bankruptcy in the fall of 1926.

    I am so happy that on August 12th, 1977 I got to interview Mr. Vallée and his poodle Mimi in his room at Holiday Inn Carowinds. He then treated me to lunch. He was appearing with his one man show at the Pineville Dinner Thester in NC.

    Rudy Vallee Melodies was redrawn in 1972, and was one of the 3 Redrawn Screen Songs, along with Romantic Melodies and Let Me Call You Sweetheart. What was left of the redrawn colourised version can be seen on Hooray For Betty Boop/Betty Boop For President (1980), a compilation film in which clips from redrawn Betty Boop cartoons can be seen.

    Who first utilized sound in cartoons? Who was the first to make cartoons longer than one reel? It sure wasn't Walt!(Chuckle!)

      Max Fleischer is Definitely Unrated & Walt Disney is Definitely Over-rated.

      Whenever I saw Betty Boop sleeping , she was sleeping barefoot . Betty would either sleep in Nightgown or pajamas . And Betty would sleep with her bracelets & earrings .
