Silly Symphony: Mother Goose Goes Hollywood
(USA, 1938)
 

Introduction
“Mother Goose Goes Hollywood” was a Silly Symphony cartoon and Disney animated short that put Hollywood stars of the 1930s into roles from Mother Goose stories. For example, W.C. Fields is Humpty Dumpty and the Marx Brothers are the fiddlers three. Donald Duck makes a cameo appearance.

The version Disney shows on TV was obviously edited (6 minutes, instead of 8) with potentially offensive caricatures cut.

The plot
In the opening scene, Mother Goose takes the MGM lion's place. After that, it's a trip through her famous rhymes with Hollywood stars taking the place of the storybook characters.
