"Have You Got Any Castles" is a wonderful Warner Bros. cartoon directed by Frank Tashlin. It's another one of those "book characters coming to life" cartoons, featuring tons of great sight gags, caricatures, and puns.
My favorite scenes in this cartoon include the following. There is an excellent caricature of singer/bandleader Cab Calloway ("Mr. Hi-De-Ho") and his heavenly orchestra performing some hot jazz. The Three Musketeers sing the title song "Have You Got Any Castles, Baby?" while Emily Host (Post) in her famous Book of Etiquette scolds the porcine table manners of Henry the Eighth. Four sinister characters (Mr. Hyde, Fu Manchu, Frankenstein's monster, and a skeleton) engage in a light, friendly dance.
"Have You Got Any Castles" is a lot of fun to watch. Find it on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2 Disc 4.
