La Paloma (1930) ** 1/2 (out of 4)The Fleischer Studio produced a number of these animated short films where the "bouncing ball" would have audience members singing together. As is often the case with these shorts, the animation that starts things off is just a little build-up to the actual song and the bouncing ball. Here we see a man with his guitar trying to make an impression on a lady he has a thing for. All of these Fleischer shorts pretty much followed the same format and there's no doubt that these weren't meant to be anything overly special. They ran five to seven minutes and basically featured some good animation and a song for the crowd to the sing. With that in mind, this here was fun for what it was.
