Just a bit of muscial nuttiness from Van Beuren

Nursery Scandal (1932)
Starring: Anonymous Singers and Voice Actors
Directors: John Foster and Harry Bailey

Rating: Five of Ten Stars

Magic gnomes cause characters from fairy tales and nursery rhymes to emerge from a discarded book, and they all proceed to have a Rave Party 1930s style. Meanwhile, Mother Goose gets romantic with a scarecrow.

"Nursery Scandal" is a innocuous bit of nonsense for all ages. Adults and children alike will find the most entertainment here from identifying all the fairy tales and nursery rhymes that emerge for the big party. The only thing scandalous here might be Mother Goose making time with a scarecrow... but as scandals go, it's a pretty minor one.

There is no plot to get in the way of the story here: Gnomes find the book of rhymes and fairy tales; gnomes cause various characters to come to life; gnomes host a dance party. If Modest Mussorgsky had based "Night on Bald Mountain" on a book of fairy tales instead of folklore about witches and demons, events similar to what we have in "Nursery Scandal" would have formed its storyline.

If you have a few minutes to spare and are in the mood for something strange, then you should click below. I suspect you won't come across anything weirder today.
