The Queen was in the Parlor (1932)

Directed by Rudolf Ising

Animation | Comedy | Short

Overview

The last Goopy Geer cartoon. The king returns to his castle, and asks where the queen is; she’s in the parlor, and won’t be seen, according to the title song. He goes to his throne and summons his jester, Goopy Geer. A black knight arrives and threatens one of the young ladies in court; Goopy Geer fights him off, first with an ax, then in armor from kitchen utensils, then butting him with a mounted animal head, which makes the knight’s armor fall apart. He pulls it together again and runs away.

Viewing Notes

Sunday morning cartoon: it’s great that Tubi “rescued” these after they were dumped from HBO MAX. So far all these earliest Merrie Melodies have been new to me.

I like this one because it’s nearly incoherent haha — just stuff happening at this castle. King doesn’t like the jester so he asks for Amos and Andy wtf then the jester yells “Chicago!” Okay

A weird one but it’s cool.
