Jack And Old Mac - Walt Disney - 1956)



This is basically two jazz-inclined musical shorts in one. First is a swingin' rendition of "The House That Jack Built" boasting imaginative animation in which the writing of a word turns into its meaning (such as "cow" turning into a cow, and so on). Second and longer is "Old McDonald Had a Band", where instrument sounds replace the traditional barnyard noises. With the exception of his displeased wife, Old Mac's family all jams on musical instruments, even the pets.
