| abstract | - I Love to Singa is a Merrie Melodies animated short distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures in 1936. The short was directed by Tex Avery and is based upon a song written by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg for the feature-length film The Singing Kid. The cartoon focuses around a young owl who wants to sing jazz, but is held back by his musical parents who insist he sings only traditional classical music. A reference to the short is made in the pilot episode of South Park. In the episode, alien "visitors" have a beam which turns people into cute, rosy-cheeked versions of themselves and makes them sing the song "I Love to Singa."
- I Love To Singa was an extremely popular Merrie Melodies short directed by Tex Avery (or, as he is still credited here, "Fred Avery," with his animators, "Charles Jones" and Virgil Ross) that premiered on July 18, 1936. The cartoon, designed to feature the eponymous tune by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg, has a plot mirroring that of Al Jolson's most famous film, The Jazz Singer; uncoincidentally, Jolson (with Cab Calloway) had introduced the song in a 1936 Warner Bros. feature, The Singing Kid. This short was also a runner-up on The 50 Greatest Cartoons list. It has also made it onto The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes list.
- I Love to Singa is a Merrie Melodies animated cartoon directed by Tex Avery, produced by Leon Schlesinger, and released to theaters on July 18, 1936, by Warner Bros. and Vitaphone. I Love to Singa depicts the story of a young owlet who wants to sing jazz, instead of the classical music that his German parents wish him to perform. The plot is a lighthearted tribute to Al Jolson's film The Jazz Singer. "I Love to Singa" was first a song written by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg for the 1936 Warner Bros. feature-length film The Singing Kid. It is performed three times in the film: first by Jolson and Cab Calloway, then by the Yacht Club Boys and Jolson, and finally again by Calloway and Jolson. During this period, it was customary for Warners to have their animation production partner, Leon Schlesinger Productions, make Merrie Melodies cartoons based upon songs from their features. The cartoon has, in recent years, taken on something of a cult following, with a pervasive impact on popular culture. The short, one of the earliest Merrie Melodies produced in Technicolor's 3-strip process, is recognized as one of Avery's early masterpieces.
