I wasn’t really sure what this had to do with “Mother Goose” but once it got going it was quite an entertaining little series of characterisations of Hollywood stars doing things from nursery rhymes or just having a darned good time. I’m sure I saw Katharine Hepburn, Edward G. Robinson, Laurel & Hardy, the Marx Brothers and Charles Laughton in this sing-along and some of the animation hits the nail on the head - especially Laughton and Hepburn as as very adaptable “Little Bow Beep”. It’s essentially a celebration of animated caricatures and though entirely forgettable, passes ten minutes with a lively score easily enough.
