Jimmy Durante is the Tarzan-like star of Schnarzan the Conqueror. The public is tired of the fake lions and wants the real thing. When Baron Munchausen comes to town with real lions, Durante invites him to his Hollywood party along with all kinds of stars. The Clemps are oil tycoons from Oklahoma and they attract a con-man.
It's a lot of song and dance. I really don't like the Clemps' story. Mostly, I don't find them funny. Durante is only a little better. The Three Stooges have a scene but they end up mostly standing around with a bit of slapstick. Mickey Mouse shows up in another scene. The difference being that he's a bit meaner or maybe he's just more adult. The animated short is fascinating but two ideas came up. First, I'd want Mickey in the short. It seems natural. Second, it's disturbing to see the candy prisoners. Laurel and Hardy then show up to finish the second of the movie and have a much better time than The Stooges. Overall, I like the animated short, and I love Laurel and Hardy. I love Stan taking off his shoe to start a long eggs breaking gag. They saved this rather pedestrian musical with questionable comedy.
