This is a Disney cartoon that is the most unlike any other Disney toon I have ever seen. And, if I didn't know it was Disney, I would have sworn it would have been made by some other studio--such as UPA who had a history of such style films.
It's a musical version of 'The House That Jack Built' as well as 'Old MacDonald'. Both are very zippy jazz shorts--with a style that works well if you are inviting a group of beatniks over to the house to watch it. However, it's VERY ultra-1950s modern look sure was ugly. This, combined with the music, make it a cartoon I doubt most kids would enjoy. In fact, I think MOST folks would struggle with this one. Unless you are a HUGE jazz or UPA fan, steer clear.
