About Merrie Melodies: Prest-O Change-O (1939)

Prest-O Change-O is a 1939 American animated comedy short film directed by Charles Jones. It was released on March 25, 1939.

The Two Curious Puppies are being pursued by a dog catcher until they hide in the house of the magician Sham-Fu, who is away and as such has his rabbit guard his house. As the smaller puppy enters a door which disappears before the larger puppy could enter, the larger puppy meets the rabbit who shows off various magic tricks. He slams a vase on the puppy and stops him from following by clipping his nose with a lobster. The puppy shakes off the lobster into another vase, from which the rabbit reemerges. He taunts the puppy with a toy gun and turns into a tree whose fruit tickles the puppy.
