Color Classics - A Car-Tune Portrait

A Car-Tune Portrait is an episode of Color Classics.

Summary
A Lion Conductor gives a speech about how the cartoon animals act:

"Hello, my good friends. You all undoubtedly have been under the dillusion or shall I say misapprehension that we of the cartoon animal kingdom are lacking in the finest sensibility. Now to dispose this, we shall ask you to forget our form of pranks and playfulness. We ask you in the name of dignity and art, to put yourselves in a respective frame of mind. And not to expect of us the foolery and clowning you generally associate us with. And now for an all musical program."

The orchesta then plays "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" in C sharp minor.

The band starts playing pranks and clowning around which was what the Lion Conductor had just said not to do. The lion then realizes that it is not worth trying to get the cartoon animals to "put thereselves in a respective frame of mind." As he says:

"Alas, Alas. The best played plans of mice and men often go astray."

He then gets hit with a drum.
