A Car-Tune Portrait is a 1937 Color Classics cartoon.

Summary[]

A symphony composer lion is determined to show the audience that cartoon animal characters can be more than just silly and childish by having cartoons play a symphony orchestra. Things quickly fall apart as the true nature of cartoons comes out anyways.

Plot[]

A tale about the animator's hand that is drawing the pictures of some crazy animals playing music. Although the opening is in the mode of the Out Of The Inkwell films, the cartoon characters - especially the orchestra conductor, a lion - attempt to prove that they can perform on a higher level of dignity and culture until everything falls apart, resorting to their usual mode of behavior - satire and mayhem.
