"Old MacDonald Had a Farm" is an American 7-minute cartoon from 1946, briefly after WWII, and this one is already over 70 years old. It is a Famous Studios production and if you see the names here, Kneitel, Turner and Messmer, then you will perhaps realize that these are heavyweights in terms of cartoon filmmaking from back in the day. Very prolific and very successful. It's a pity their work here has not really reached the masses as I thought it was a nice watch and even better listen. The first half takes us to the farm where we meet all kinds of farm animals and their passion for music brought to them by Old McDonald. And I hope there's nobody here who thought this is about Donald Duck. And I hope everybody knows the song from the title. The second half then is where you join in with everybody else or just with your fellow males/females. It so inspired me to sing along and I am not even big on singing, which says it all really. So the joy is highly contagious here and all the great music, not just the title song, makes it very easy for me to give this one a thumbs-up. I highly recommend checking it out. This one is still as much fun as it was when our grandparents were our age. Severely underseen and underappreciated. Don't miss out.
