In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree (1930)
16 Jan 1930 • Animation, Short, Family • 0h 8m
Three fourths of this sing along is a tiresome song we have all heard at some time. The first part, where a character is trying to eat his lunch is OK. He battles with a sandwich which is not giving him cooperation. Later an apple and a worm get the better of him. Then we have the sappiness of the title song. There is a formula to these things. First, we have the old bouncing ball. Later, the aforementioned character reappears to do the song again. I guess audiences liked this stuff.
