Puppet Show is a 1936 short film from Walter Lantz Productions and stars Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Oswald, still depicted in the white fur he got fourteen cartoons ago, is putting up a marionette puppet show.
The third act features an African American quartet: one playing the piano, one singing while sitting on it, and two doing tap dancing.
After being kept in an auditorium for a long time with no one to play with them, one of the puppets expresses desire to freely wander the world.
Realizing the truth of one of the things said by his friend, the puppet attached a pack of balloons onto the holder of his strings.
Motion Picture Herald (Oct 17, 1936): "The outstanding feature in this edition of Oswald's adventures is the exhibition of some skillful puppet work.
