Aloha Oe (1933)

Super short screen-song (no bouncing ball) which has a monkey couple get married, there's a joke with an ostrich that is mildly amusing and a hula dancing lion.

Dinah (1933)

A Bouncing Ball short which is unique in that it's almost wordless. The first several minutes of the short is animals loading a cargo ship with the music coming from the clicks and clacks of boxes. Then the Mills Brother sing a Barbershop song Dinah.

School Days (1932)

A Fleischer short which features composer Gus Edwards taking on the role of a teacher as he leads a group of children in a sing-along. There are some animated segments with classroom gags but Gus is the real draw as this is one of the few handful of times he appeared on the silver screen.
