** "WesternAnimation/TheSkeletonDance". The entire short is creepy, but especially the two shots where the skeleton jumps at the camera and seems to devour it.

** ''WesternAnimation/FlowersAndTrees'': YMMV on this point, but the way the flames crawl all over the evil tree as he tries to bat them out almost makes it look like they're ''eating him alive'', which, in a way, they are.

* BrokenAesop: The moral of "The Flying Mouse" is to BeYourself, but really the only reason the little mouse's wish didn't work out for him is that the fairy gave him bat-like wings that made him look scary to the other mice, instead of bird-like wings that he originally wished for.

* AccidentalAesop: From "Moth and the Flame": Never leave a flame unguarded, no matter how small. At best youll have fire damage, at worst you could end up losing your home or business.

** In the ending to "Birds in the Spring", the baby bird who wandered off gets [[AbusiveParents spanked soundly by his mother]]. This was considered questionable by some even back then, but now spanking is much more unacceptable.

Moving to trivia.


* FollowTheLeader: This is hands down one of the most influential series of cartoons in the HistoryOfAnimation...and also one of the most ripped-off as a result. Almost ''every'' studio in the 1930's, sans Creator/{{Terrytoons}}, was trying to rip off of these cartoons--none of them were successful, however.
** The Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, with [[WesternAnimation/BugsBunny a certain Expy of Max Hare]], might be considered an exception.

Tastes Like Diabetes is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable


* TastesLikeDiabetes: The shorts tend to have very juvenile, sentimental storylines with cutesy characters, which can either be seen as part of their appeal or a detriment.

** Incidentally, most of the shorts actually avoid the ethnic stereotyping that was so common back then, mainly because the series was trying to be more "cute" instead of "edgy" like the Looney Tunes series.

** Incidentally, most of the shorts actually avoid the ethnic stereotyping that was so common back then, mainly to contemporary cartoons, (including [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Disney's main line of shorts]]) , mostly because the series was trying to be more "cute" instead of "edgy" like "funny". However, this makes the Looney Tunes series.examples above stand out even more.
