Hot Chocolate Soldiers

The Hot Choc-late Soldiers, also stylized as The Hot Chocolate Soldiers, is an American animated short film that was made by Walt Disney Productions for MGM's 1934 film Hollywood Party,[1] which premiered on June 1, 1934.[2][3] It is prefaced in the film by a scene where Mickey Mouse appears at the party, performs a brief Durante impression, and then sits down at a piano, after which The Hot Choc-late Soldiers begins to play.[4] Due to stipulations in the contract between Disney and Turner Entertainment, the short was edited out of the film when it was screened on TNT,[4] however Turner was able to negotiate the licenses so that the footage was included in a 1992 VHS release of Hollywood Party and for subsequent releases.[5]

The short contains no vocals other than a song performed by Don Wilson that describes the events of the cartoon.
