Time on My Hands

1932 · 9 min

A breezy, silly cartoon that turns into a sing-along, full of rubbery surreal gags and a bouncy tune.

Directed by
Dave Fleischer
Genres
Animation
Overview
In this surrealist entry, a fisherman deals with rebellious worms; a diver flirts with a Betty Boop-like mermaid who becomes Ethel Merman, singing the title song in live-action with a Bouncing Ball.
How it feels
Whimsical, absurd, light and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About
Music, love, identity
Content
Mild sexual content. No violence, gore or swearing.
