Monkey Love (lost footage of Screen Gems cartoon; 1935)
This article has been tagged as Needing work due to its lack of references.
Monkey Love is a cartoon produced by the Screen Gems studio, and distributed by Columbia Pictures on September 12th, 1935.[1]
In the late 1990s, when Columbia began restoring the Screen Gems library, it was one of 26 cartoons they could not locate a master copy of, only being able to find a track of the cartoon. Since then, only the track has remained seen of the cartoon, and it's currently unknown if a piece of the film survives.[2]
Plot
A boy monkey and a girl monkey meet in the jungle and fall in love instantly. But after the boy serenades the girl monkey and takes her home, a jealous gorilla causes mishap. The girl monkey dispatches him with ease and it's a happy ending.
Availability
