The truth is out! Back in the late 1960's I wrote a skit for our church's Talent Night that I based on this cartoon which I had seen on TV. My friend Jeff played the King (as a human, not a lion) and three other kids played his army (as a trio of old geezers instead of monkeys). I played the announcer, and two first-graders in Halloween costumes played the phantom martians. I even wrote in the scene with the skunk. Nobody knew that I stole the plot from a cartoon - - until now!
This is the Terrytoons cartoon I remember seeing
on television when I was a
kid.
Whew, what a production! Orson himself couldn't have done it better.
1:22 I like the gag with the sound backwards
1:29 Danny and the Juniors: “At the Hop”
This reminds me of Disney’s The Jungle Book (1976), Disney’s Tarzan (1999) & Disney’s The Lion King (1994)
Great cartoon .
Released in March 24 , 1939
2:53 - 2:55 This reminds me of “Duck 🦆 Soup 🥣 to Nuts 🌰 “ (1944)

Enjoyable cartoon. Early Terrytoons Technicolor effort.
Staff writer Tom Morrison is the voice of the "Band Leader"/"Emcee". Arthur Kay does his "Bert Lahr" impression as the "Lion King"....
2:50 A Tarzan imitator does a chest pound with an awkward Tarzan yell coming later.
This reminds me of “Duck 🦆 Soup 🥣 to Nuts 🌰” (1944)
They sure didn't show that singer any mercy.
2:55 Tarzan Yell is similar to Simba Mighty Roar 🦁
2:55 Tarzan-type Yell
2:53 Disney’s Tarzan (1999)
1:31 - 1:40 - 1:55 This reminds me of Mariah Carey sings High Note. 🎶🎵🫁
2:53 Is that Mowgli or Tarzan⁉️
It’s just a Tarzan parody.
