A Car-Tune Portrait (film #5 on Disc #12 of 100 Cartoon Classics DVD Megapack (Treeline Films, 2004)). Also, film #5 on Disc #3 of 150 Cartoon Classics DVD Megapack (Mill Creek Entertainment, 2005)). [Category: Hollywood]

A lion orchestral conductor tries to tell us that his animal orchestra will perform serious classical music, eschewing the silly tomfoolery we’ve come to expect from cartoon characters, but you just know this won’t last. Fortunately, it doesn’t. An amusing Max Fleischer toon.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ***. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: ****.
