About Merrie Melodies: Goopy Geer (1932)

Goopy Geer is a 1932 American animated comedy short film directed by Rudolf Ising. It is the tenth film in the Merrie Melodies series, featuring the titular song by Herman Hupfeld, and the first appearance of the title character.

The customers in a nightclub clamor for Goopy Geer, who emerges from numerous smaller stages to sing and play the piano for the audience with his hands and ears. He switches to a slower tune after he notices three cats slurping soup and eating crackers loudly. A cow also eats spaghetti to the tune, to his amusement. Goopy Geer then plays a ragtime song, which his gloves independently help him in playing. In the meantime, the waiter requests a bowl of soup, which a chicken "chef" produces by bathing in boiling water, emerging unscathed as the soup is served.
