tex avery i love to singa be a cartoon which confound expectation about both avery work and warner bros. cartoon in general . at this early stage in their development and the merrie melodies series of cartoon be an attempt to rival the prestige colour cartoon of walt disney and often by emulate them . thus i love to singa be full of cute and wide eyed character and a sweet and slow moving plot . however and it what avery do with these character that make i love to singa a mini masterpiece . a parody of the jazz singer and i love to singa star a baby owl name owl jolson and a jazz lover bear into a family of classical musician . when an over zealous papa owl throw his son out for insist on sing jazz and owl jolson go on to win a radio talent contest and and subsequently and the approval of his family . this thinnest of plot be infuse with enormous appeal through avery mixture of strikingly handsome and warm visuals and hilarious character comedy . the cartoon be nearly steal by a stammer hillbilly bird and his laboured rendition of simple simon but ultimately i love to singa belongs to owl jolson and a character who manage to be cute without be cloy . every time he open his mouth to sing and i love to singa positively light up . while you would not find any of the anarchic humour associate with warner bros. or the 100mph pacing and exaggerated reaction shot associate with avery here and what you will find be an exceptional example of great storytelling and charm character comedy . i love to singa and while too sweet for some viewer and be a true classic in my eye and i adore it more ever time i see it .
