Billboard Frolics (1935)
Billboard Frolics is a 1935 American animated comedy short film directed by Isadore Freleng. The short was released on November 16, 1935. It is the 51st film in the Merrie Melodies series. It is the first film in the series to feature the song "Merrily We Roll Along" by Eddie Cantor, which would later become the opening theme for the Merrie Melodies cartoons, starting with Boulevardier from the Bronx. It is also the final film in the series to use 2-strip Technicolor, as Walt Disney Productions' 3-strip Technicolor exclusivity deal expired after its release.
