Snow-White is a classic hand-drawn animated movie that parodies the fairytale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. It combines slapstick comedy and surreal elements to tell the story of Snow-White, who encounters a wicked stepmother, anthropomorphic characters, and magical mirrors. The movie features a mix of blues and jazz music, along with jukebox musical elements. Snow-White faces challenges such as being turned inside out, encountering a snowstorm, and being sentenced to death. It explores themes of jealousy, anthropomorphism, and surrealism.

“Tramp, Tramp, Tramp the Boys Are Marching” features a song that dates back to the Civil War, one which was still familiar to audiences of the 1920s. The cartoon begins as Koko the Clown emerges from an inkwell-- an iconic image for animation buffs --and then steps over to a chalkboard to draw an orchestra. The band, “Koko's Glee Club,” marches to a nearby cinema (accompanied by a dog who beats cymbals with his tail) where they lead the audience in the title song.

Max Fleischer draws Koko and a haunted house, while his colleague and the janitor mess around with a Ouija board. When Max goes over to take a look, Koko is haunted by ghosts and inanimate objects, and escapes into the real-world studio.
In this one, Max has run low on ink, so Ko-Ko finishes drawing himself and then heads over to the camera room, where he creates his own characters, a mechanical dancing Dresden doll with whom he falls in love and a couple of automaton musicians. He gets rid of the musicians, but, alas, the projectionist gets oil onto Ko-Ko's soon-to-be bride, melting her.
