You're an Education

1938

You're An Education is a 1938 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon supervised by Frank Tashlin.[1] The short was released on November 5, 1938.[2]

The literary characters spring to life in this "it's-midnight-and-everything-comes-to-life" cartoon, this time from brochures in a travel agency with first a bunch of tableaux, followed by a big song, then a crime story.

Following a spinning globe, the front window of the agency appears, where there are affixed several banners and posters advertising various countries. As the different ads are shown, a song - sometimes presented as a pun - is heard. For example: We see a picture of Bombay harbor, in which bombs explode.

Eventually, the songs stray into puns about food. "Food's an Education," leads to references to Hungary, Turkey, the Sandwich Islands, Hamburg, Chile (chili), Oyster Bay, Twin Forks and Java.

The Thief of Bagdad uses the Florida Keys to break into the Kimberly Diamond Mine, and then pawns them with the Pawnee Indians. He is chased by soldiers and police of many nations, but gets away by forming an "unusual alliance" with the Lone Stranger: "Well, you're not alone now, Beeg Boy!"
