Watch I Love to Singa For Free

You won't be disappointed!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I'd sing 'I wanna singa' to my infant when he was fussy and he'd stop crying! No lie.... He's 22 now...it no longer works-lol.

Though what seems like a clichéd story for a brief cartoon, I Love To Singa is a funny spoof of Al Jolson's The Jazz Singer. Owl Jolson is a hep-cat, born fourth after his three more classically gifted siblings. He comes out bursting with song, similar to what many folks probably heard in juke-joints of the 1930's. Owl Jolson shocks his overly stuffy parents and is thrown out on his ear left to compete at a local radio station's amateur contest. The radio station is GONG and headed up by Jack Bunny, a rabbit with a mean streak. Jack Bunny gongs each failed contestant one after the other until Owl Jolson steps up to the plate. Within moments, Jack Bunny and the audience are enthralled with his performance. The song is a very catchy tune, and the film tells the familiar story of the generation gap quite well in a short period of time.

This is a great takeoff on Al Jolson and "The Jazz Singer." It's also a nice tribute to the famous entertaining of yesteryear.In this version of the famous film, we have owls playing the parts. Papa Owl, a strict sort, is pleased when his wife has four eggs. When they hatch, it's immediately discovered one is a "Caruso," the next is a violinist like Fritz Kreisler, the third is a Mendelsohnn. Daddy is thrilled until the fourth one hatches and the chick is - horrors! - "a jazz singer, a crooner." Mama Owl faints, but Papa reassures her "we will teach him to sing like we want him, too.You can guess the rest. If you're familiar with the story of The Jazz Singer, you should get a real "hoot" out of this animated short which has a very sweet ending to it as young "Owl Jolson" wins 'em over on the "Jack Bunny" radio broadcast.

I hate to burst anyone up there on Cloud 9 with the love for this short. But the simple fact of the matter is that this is just a slightly above average Looney Tune short. It's far more cute than it is funny and it's far indeed from Tex Avery's best work. Now that being said I do enjoy this short up to a point, but come on doesn't the Owl know another song? I know Al certainly did. I have no clue why this Looney Tunes short above others seems to be praised to the high heavens. I'm sure someone will fill me in on something i'm missing though. This animated short can be seen on Disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2.My Grade: C+
