They don’t make cartoons like this anymore 🥲 In 1951, Symphony in Slang delivered one of the most playful experiments in cartoon storytelling. The short follows a young man who arrives at the gates of heaven and tries to explain his life, but he speaks entirely in modern slang. The heavenly scribes have no idea what he means, so every phrase is shown literally. When he says he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the animators draw him as a baby holding an actual spoon between his teeth.

Factsdailyy on Instagram: "This cartoon is very literal 😂 In 1951, Symphony in Slang arrived as one of Tex Avery’s most playful experiments with language and animation.
