Jounk I'd sing 'I wanna singa' to my infant when he was fussy and he'd stop crying! No lie.... He's 22 now...it no longer works-lol.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . to subliminally suggest peace to an increasingly threatening German Nation, thereby averting all the potential heartache likely to occur during another "World War." When Warner's courageous animators put together their I LOVE TO SINGA plea, no one had ever heard of a "World War One." That's because the conflict that killed millions from 1914 through 1918 was known to Pessimists as "The Great War," and to Optimists as "The War to End War" or "The Final War." Most Americans found it hard to imagine that the daffy German men, with their shorty-shorts, foul-tasting beer, and cute Munchkin accents, would prove capable of starting ANOTHER "Great War" for a Century, if ever (and certainly not in a mere 20 years). But by 1936 Hitler was ranting on the War Path, and Warner was trying to do something about it. That's why I LOVE TO SINGA is peppered with random German terms, such as "mein" and "und" and "mit." It's as if Pops Owl has a target audience of One, and he's trying to say to Hitler, "Just calm down--if Germany depresses you so much, why not come over and entertain us with your Terrible Twos Tantrums in America? If that gets old, you can always play yourself in SPRINGTIME FOR H!TLER."

Mightyzebra This is probably the cutest little short I have ever watched - the main star of this Tex Avery episode, a little owl called Owl Jolson (spoof on Al Jolson) is probably the cutest animated character I have seen - apart from WALL.E, perhaps. This is what makes this short so memorable. The singing from Owl Jolson and the rest of the music in this short is very good, another thing that makes this short worth watching. This animated short starts with two owl parents, the mother sitting on eggs and the father pacing around the nest wearing the carpet out. Finally, the four eggs hatch. Out of the first one comes an beautiful opera singing owl chick, whom his parents adore. Out the second egg comes a very good violin playing owl chick, whom his parents also adore. Out of the third egg hatches a melodious flute playing owl chick. His parents adore him as well. Out of the forth egg - comes the parents' horror, an owl chick who sings jazz! His father does not understand him and ends up throwing the poor chick out...I recommend this beautiful, entertaining, quite funny and VERY cute short to anyone who has enjoyed Looney Tunes and to anyone who likes music, including jazz. Enjoy "I Love to Singa"! :-)

ccthemovieman-1 This is a great takeoff on Al Jolson and "The Jazz Singer." It's also a nice tribute to the famous entertaining of yesteryear.In this version of the famous film, we have owls playing the parts. Papa Owl, a strict sort, is pleased when his wife has four eggs. When they hatch, it's immediately discovered one is a "Caruso," the next is a violinist like Fritz Kreisler, the third is a Mendelsohnn. Daddy is thrilled until the fourth one hatches and the chick is - horrors! - "a jazz singer, a crooner." Mama Owl faints, but Papa reassures her "we will teach him to sing like we want him, too.You can guess the rest. If you're familiar with the story of The Jazz Singer, you should get a real "hoot" out of this animated short which has a very sweet ending to it as young "Owl Jolson" wins 'em over on the "Jack Bunny" radio broadcast.
