The nursery rhyme monarch summons all the nursery rhyme characters to his castle where they act out their stories. "Old King Cole" is a weird short. I understand that it's a semi-remake of an early Silly Symphony. Either way, it's the sort of situation where they thought that they were making something cute but it turned out kind of disturbing (with some politically incorrect content, natch). There's a reason why I've always preferred the Warner Bros. Cartoons to the Disney ones; let's just say that only one of the groups allowed vaudeville-style humor.
Basically, this is the sort of cartoon that you might show to keep the tykes entertained, but for nothing else.
