I Love a Parade (1932) | Warner Bros | Merrie Melodies

A circus parade, to the title tune. Next, a series of sideshow acts: the wild boy, the rubber man, siamese twin pigs, a tattooed man, a hula-dancing hippo, an Indian snake (or goat) charmer. Into the ring, we have a hippo riding a horse (much to the horse's dismay), a high-wire act (again, to the title song), and finally a lion tamer.

I Love a Parade (1932) was a Merrie Melodies cartoon produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. It was directed by Rudolf Ising, one of the key figures behind early Warner Bros. animation.

Since it was part of the Merrie Melodies series, the cartoon was designed to showcase Warner Bros.' music catalog, featuring a parade sequence set to lively music. Like many early Merrie Melodies shorts, it was a one-off musical cartoon without recurring characters.
