It's Cartoon Time Again, Boys and Girls

Here is a Castle Films home movie print of a 1934 Terrytoon that was entitled "My Lady's Garden" when it was originally released theatrically. For the home market, it was renamed "The Bee and The Butterfly."

Produced and directed by Frank Moser and Paul Terry

Music by Philip A. Scheib


Produced at New Rochelle, New York by Moser and Terry for Educational Pictures and perhaps released theatrically by Fox Film Corporation.



This cartoon was another in a long line of cartoons at that studio with the dialog being sung in operetta fashion.

They did this during the decade with characters such as Strongheart, Fanny Zilch, and Silk Hat Harry.

This format reached its zenith in the late 1940s and early 1950s with Mighty Mouse, Pearl Pureheart, and Oil Can Harry.
