She Was an Acrobat s Daughter is an animation animated short film short in the Merrie Melodies series, released by Warner Bros. Animation Warner Brothers in April 1937 in film 1937 and directed by Friz Freleng . Plot The story is set at a local movie theater. Funny animal Cartoon animals switch seats before the show and the show begins with a presentation of short subjects. This is followed by a community sing along to the tune of She Was an Acrobat s Daughter , with the lyrics projected using magic lantern reversal film slides . There is a gag during the singing involving the wrong slide being shown, so the audience sings please do not spit on the floor . Afterwards, the main feature is presented, with a parody of the MGM lion logo who crows like a rooster instead of roaring at the start. A parody of The Petrified Forest 1936 entitled The Petrified Florist is then shown featuring Bette Savis Bette Davis and Lester Coward Leslie Howard actor Leslie Howard , with rather long cast credits. During the show, a donkey sells refreshments in the middle of the picture and gets thrown out. An inquisitive goose curiously goes to the projection room and screws up the soundtrack of the movie by speeding it forward and backward. The goose ultimately gets his beak caught in the projector and is tangled up in the film reel. As he falls to the floor, loops of film dangle at him. DVD release She Was an Acrobat s Daughter is presented on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3 . Sequel Semi remake A follow up to this cartoon, Bacall to Arms was released in 1946. It basically contains the same plot as this cartoon, and even reuses some animation. References Schneider, Steve, That s All Folks The Art of Warner Bros.
