Why Are You Playing With That Old Junk?
boblipton14 March 2021
Oswald and his dachshund go to the city dump, where he comes upon an abandoned chest that used to belong to a stage magician. Inside he finds a jug. When he shakes it, a voice protests. Opening it, he finds a magician with a wand, who announces "Presto change-o!:, animating discarded food, trademarks from packages.... including a cartoon devl from deviled ham. Uh-oh!

For such an open-ended opportunity, there isn't much to this one. Everyone sings an English-language version of "La Cucaracha", there's a bit of a chase, and then the cartoon ends fairly abruptly. I have the feeling they wanted to put a lot more into this one, but they only had seven minutes.

For what it's worth, the devil on the Underwood Deviled Ham is claimed as the oldest food trademark in the United States.

Oswald goes commercial.
horn-526 June 2006
Exhibitor summary: Oswald goes snooping around a junk yard with his doggie, Doxie.He fins a bottle marked "The Magic Jug," and when he uncorks it out jumps a genii with his magic wand. The genii them proceeds to transform all the pictures on the ad labels of the old tin cans into live people. They organize a dancing and sing party, but the devil with a pitch fork, from a deviled ham can, steals the genii's wand and starts to mess things up. Oswald saves the day.

Hey, if a talking mouse can have a non-talking dog as a pet, there is no reason a talking rabbit can't do the same. Oh, ye, of so little faith. Where would Edgar Bergen have been without Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd?
