"I Can't Give You Anything But Love"
A cat goes fishing and finds himself underwater, where he sings a duet with a female catfish in this interesting Van Beuren cartoon.
While Fleischer had Betty Boop, who evolved from a dog, Van Beuren's Helen-Kane voiced cat starlet never finished her transition. It's a decently done cartoon with some lovely character design and clean animation, but the story is depressingly similar to many others from Van Beuren and Terrytoons in this period, including a multi-legged villain who steals the object of the protagonist's affection; usually it would be a spider, but this is underwater, so it is an octopus.
The character design and animation are clean, simple and interesting. This is clearest when the action takes place against a white background. However, when the background work is more complex, the visuals become a bit muddy.
