“Rooty Toot Toot” (1951) (https://youtu.be/EE8_ddz0XvI?si=yiEU8O-oItqS0NwM) is a musical #FilmNoir animated short based on the murder ballad “Frankie and Johnny”. While it lost the 1951 Oscar for “Best Animated Short Film” to the Tom and Jerry short “The Two Mouseketeers”, it would go on to be considered one of the greatest animated shorts of all time.
