Johnnie Panama et Alice Bonnetbleu

Words cannot describe how beautiful this short was. Not only is the story nice and simple, but it is a poignant one too, Johnnie's search for Alice is a tearjerker. The animation is gorgeous with lovely colours, and the music was even better. The song is very likely to stay with you for a long time, I for one liked how simple it was. The Andrews Sisters sing beautifully as well, they sang on the short "Little Toot"(featured on "Melody Time") and their lovely voices blend very well together. Overall, if you come across "Johnnie Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet", I recommend you see it.

A Walt Disney Cartoon.

JOHNNIE FEDORA AND ALICE BLUEBONNET fall in love while for sale in the window of a fancy shop. Quickly separated by different owners, Johnnie begins an almost impossible search for Alice throughout New York City.

This poignant little film, originally a segment of MAKE MINE MUSIC (1946), is full of charm & spunk. The Disney animators have achieved the seemingly impossible - making the viewers sincerely care about the romantic fate of a couple of hats. The Andrews Sisters make the perfect singing narrators.

Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew comic figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.

Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet are two hats that meet in the window of a department store and fall in love. They both get bought by different customers and spend the rest of their little hat lives trying to find each other. This cartoon is truly romantic and sweet. I have loved it since I was a little kid, and sometimes I still walk around singing the Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet song. This is one of my favorite cartoons.

Originally part of the movie Make Mine Music, this cartoon was released later on its own as a theatrical short. It's a sweet love story, narrated through song by the Andrews Sisters. The story is about two hats in a shop window that fall in love but are separated when the female hat (Alice Bluebonnet) is sold. The male hat (Johnnie Fedora) is heartbroken. Eventually he is also sold and begins his search for his lost love from atop the head of his new owner. It's probably my favorite segment of Make Mine Music. I think it's an adorable, lovely cartoon with pretty animation. The angelic harmony of the Andrews Sisters is a huge plus. A must for fans of classic Disney and those who like a good love story.
