10/10

"This cartoon short SHOULD have won the Oscar instead of Lend A Paw! An absolutely perfect blending of music and action throughout, well-executed at every turn. Incredibly funny with no dialogue-sight gags only and the running gags are great! Wonderful marriage of beautiful music and antic lunacy with a drop dead ending! Fanatically, totally recommended! I love this cartoon!!!..."

Leopold Stokowski, a popular conductor of the day, was known for his long and often unkempt mane of hair. He is the inspiration for the "conductor" here. This character popped up quite a bit in cartoons from the era, such as "Fantasia" (1940) and "Long-Haired Hare" (1949).
