📜 A classic 1931 black-and-white cartoon brought back to life in vibrant real color. Smile, Darn Ya, Smile! was animated at the Los Angeles Leon Schlesinger studio by legends of early American animation, including Rudolf Ising, Friz Freleng, and Isadore “Friz” Freleng as key animator.
Music was composed by Frank Marsales, with story elements influenced by early Warner Bros. gag writers of the era.
Originally produced in Los Angeles in 1931, this restored version respects the original artwork while presenting it with renewed clarity and color.
