From 1937 to 1940, many of the "Color Rhapsody" cartoons from Columbia pictures, such as this one, were farmed out to Ub Iwerks' studio. In this one, ol' Dan Cupid makes two department store dummies fall in love. The other dummies stage a wedding for them. With music by Eddie Kilfeather and musical direction by Joe De Nat, this 1937 entry was produced and directed by Ub Iwerks.
This is a re-release print. It looks like someone used at least two prints to help make the complete cartoon possible.
This cartoon was uploaded by request. Enjoy!

The male mannequins body movements but especially the leg work when he danced were terrific animation. And even though it is standard cartoon fare, I really enjoyed the abundant and extreme anthropomorphic furniture, even that somewhat perverse couch at 4:22 . Maybe the lamp at 4:18 was the best, but almost all of them were excellent.

Thank you very much for posting this! I saw it on a TV show as a child thirty some years ago and it has real sentimental value (my oldest brother was a musician who liked animations) as well as being a great little art cartoon. Last time I looked for it I came up empty, so it was really cool to get to see it again.

6:14 in this scene of three bells it's the same as Ub Iwerks Cartoon in series ComiColor Cartoon The Headless Horseman (1934)

...Hey, where's the big, scary bad guy that tries to take the girl away from our hero only to get his comeuppance at the end!?

Near the end, a male mannequin falls down the stairs and lands on a hot radiator, and melts. That's because mannequins in the early 1900s had been made of wax - but by the time this cartoon was produced in 1937, mannequins were plaster, and wouldn't melt.

2:41 is obviously where The Talking Heads got their inspiration

What a great art nouveauish setting for this toon, and that meltdown at 7:14 was chilling. That's really interesting that Color Rhapsodys were being farmed out to Ub Iwerks.

+gnikcohs Well, Iwerks needed the work since his other series failed. Here's one that's not on KZfaq, with a catchy number: rarebit.org/?animation=blackboard-revue-a-color-rhapsody

Hmmmmmm. Saw this today for the first time. As best I can tell Ub wasn't working for Charles Mintz as this point. None the less, wow. And Charles Mintz studio became Screen Gems?! Woah. And to add to the weirdness, the same channel (MeTV) showed the Twilight Zone episode "The After Hours" day before yesterday. Without spoilers, let's just say the subject matter (in the general sense) is the same. Creepy.
