Anybody remember the old bouncing ball cartoons made by Paramounts Famous Studios, the same studio that made Popeye and Little Lulu cartoons?
Of course Paramount's Famous Studios was the former Fleisher Studios, inventors of the "Bouncing Ball" sing-along back in the 'Twenties.
Here is an early "Ko-Ko Song Car-Tune" from 1924:

Of course the picture is silent, and the necessary musical accompaniment would have been provided (more or less satisfactorily) by the house musicians.
Interestingly enough, this series of 39 titles made between 1924 and 1927 included 19 talking pictures with fully synchronized music, dialogue and effects, filmed using the DeForest Phonofilm process. I cannot find any files of these to link here.
