Plot

The goat is driving his car, which is stuck in a traffic jam behind a fat pig. The goat manages to make it to the Glee Club, where he and his friends put on a little show.

Production

Ted Eshbaugh produced this cartoon as the pilot of a proposed series to test out a color process for animated cartoons he had been collaborating with film color processor Multicolor (later Cinecolor) on perfecting.[1] A team of workers, including animators Jack Zander and Pete Burness and musical composer Carl Stalling, were hired to help produce the series, and the properties were registered for copyright on July 6, 1931. It was premiered at Loew's State on March 8, 1932, however with no means of distribution at that time, and the cartoon never spawned a full series.[2]
