Woodland Café

Woodland Café is a Silly Symphony cartoon released in 1937.

Synopsis

In a nightclub staffed and frequented entirely by insects, the stage show has a good girl beetle resisting the advances of a bad-boy spider. Everyone dances, even the snails, as the orchestra plays jazz on their instruments made of flowers.

Trivia

• In one scene, a female fly and a male spider are both shown smoking during a dance routine. The Disney Channel censored the female fly's smoking, but not the male spider's smoking!
• Scenes from this cartoon were used during the song The Ugly Bug Ball on DTV, in Disney Sing Along Songs: The Bare Necessities and also the music video, Dr. Looney's Remedy in Parachute Express' Come Sing With Us.
• On the Limited Gold Edition Silly Symphonies VHS it uses the 1948 burlap re-issue titles, but on Extreme Music Fun DVD uses the 1937 Original United Artists titles had been restored.
