OK, here's who appears: W. C. Fields (red nose), Bing Crosby (well-known for betting on horse races), restaurant table for Dagwood Bumstead and his baby daughter, Baby Dumpling (comic strip characters who also appeared in movies), Katherine Hepburn, John Barrymore (first of three appearances here), Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire (as they looked in the Columbia Pictures film released about this same time, "You'll Never Get Rich"), in the cement of Grauman's Chinese Theater: Sonja Heinie (ice skater, so her autograph is in ice), Greta Garbo (always caricatured as having big feet), Paul Muni, and Joan Crawford, William Powell (famous for "The Thin Man", which created a series of murder mysteries that used this name), Jell-O mold home of Jack Benny (since Jell-O was the sponsor of his popular radio program), "the home of Baby Candy" (no idea who that is), the home of Gypsy Rose Lee (famous stripper), baseball game: Joe E. Brown, Marx Brothers, and the Three Stooges, horse belonging to Kate Smith (famous singer who was very fat), on the beach at Malibu: Laurel & Hardy (lying down), Clark Gable, Edna Mae Oliver, and George Raft. John Barrymore machine-guns all the autograph hounds at the end.

Released on January 23, 1942. Written & directed by Frank Tashlin, featuring a shout-out to Punchy (Petey) Pelican, of the _Fables_ series (complete with theme music 3:27... which is use in other Columbia series, including the intro for this _Color Rhapsody_). Bulk of the animation is done by Emery Hawkins (_8 Ball Bunny_). 3:41 ~ 3:47- reuse animation from the _Color Rhapsody_, _The Mad Hatter_ (1940)...

It makes me so sad. I love looking up pictures of old LA, it was so cool. Before the freeways, Hollywood use to be full of mimetic architecture. That means buildings built to look like something else, usually involving whatever product they sell there. An example is like the hot stand 'Tail of the Pup' - it's shaped like a big hotdog or the Brown Derby restaurant - it was a giant hat!

Feels a bit like older Family Guys episodes. I don’t get the referencrs because they’re tied to older time periods.

Here’s a who’s who of the celebrities and cultural references: “Hedy” refers to Hedy Lamar The guy with the red nose is W.C. Fields The Brown Darby is referring to the famed restaurant The Brown Derby That is Bing Crosby with a few of the racehorses that he owned We see references to Blondie characters Baby Dumpling and his father Dagwood Bumstead, who was famous for making gigantic sandwiches. That is a very stern Katherine heartburn, eating vegetables John Barrymore is the star who keeps getting mobbed by fans That is Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire dancing together The animated cartoon studio is a takeoff of the Taj Mahal. Above the door there is a sign saying it is the home of Punchy Pelican referred to the failed character Petey Pelican from Screen Gems Fables series. The drawings of the animators behind bars are staff animators that Tashlin worked with The theater with the footprints in front is Grumman’s Chinese Theater. The autographs are from Sonja Heinie, Greta Garbo, Paul Muni and Joan Crawford Actor William Powell is the man coming out of the very thin house. He was famous for playing a character called The Thin Man The house made of Jell-O is a “joke” referring to radio comedian Jack Benny. Jell-O was his long-time sponsor. There is a home that says it is owned by Baby Candy. That refers to Baby Sandy, a child star of the time. The leaf on the clothesline represents stripper Gypsy Rose Lee There is another reference to the Blondie comic strip with a doghouse that belongs to their dog Daisy At the baseball game is comedian Joe E Brown, the Marx Brothers, and the Three Stooges. At the Santa Anita racetrack, there is a attractive horse owned by attractive movie star Cary Grant and a very bent horse owned by very heavy singer Kate Smith At Malibu Beach the sexy babe is actor Edna Mae Oliver The actor flipping the coin is George Raft

Hollywood itself was largely built between 1910-1930 and suburban sprawl was just starting to reach past the Hollywood Hills into the San Fernando Valley in the few years before the war. The studios were major engines of this, with Universal City and the Disney campus in Burbank established in this period.

@patrix sprigner It more of a Columbia cartoon thing, in which the budgets were tight, especially for the more expensive full coulour cartoons, so these methods were meant to keep the studio on budget. More of their shorts were in black and white than colour and was the last to abandon black and white, only to use two-strip colour (cine colour which is basically between black and white and full colour or Technicolor).
