In the 1940s, George Pal made a series of animated shorts for Looney Tunes. But unlike their typical animation, these were stop-motion films and many featured his character, Jasper, a young black kid. The animation quality is exceptional...though in 2021, many folks would find them politically incorrect and would encourage you not to watch them. Well, they are incredibly well made and a bit offensive...so I'd err on the side of encouraging you to watch them and decide for yourself. Besides, I resent the notion of disposing of the films as they are a part of movie history.
In this film, young Jasper is in a pawn shop after dark and the place comes alive with music and a creepy (and stereotypical) American Indian who chases the kid around the place. There isn't much more plot than this and is mostly a musical.
The animation quality is really amazing for 1946 and is a sight to behold. Well made....and toe-tappingly enjoyable.
