Little Audrey is a fictional character, appearing in Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios cartoons from 1947 to 1959. She appeared in Santa's Surprise in 1947, which she did not star in. She also appeared in a Popeye cartoon, Olive Oyl For President, released in early 1948. The first official Little Audrey cartoon was Butterscotch and Soda released in June 1948.
A Car-Tune Portrait was an early cartoon by pioneering animator Max Fleischer. Released on June 26th, 1937, it gave an imaginative take on Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp Minor. The cartoon features a lion dressed up as a musical conductor, attempting to keep his orchestra of animal musicians in order as they half-play, half-fight their way through the piece. Memorable moments include a Dachshund playing the xylophone using his back legs while the rest of him sleeps, a group of monkeys using a flute as a pea-shooter to fire at their fellow musicians, and a horse trombonist who attempts to swat a fly using his instrument but who only succeeds in hitting the dog trumpeter in front of him.
