About Color Classics: The Kids in the Shoe (1935)

The Kids in the Shoe is a 1935 short animated film produced by Max Fleischer. It is a humorous retelling of the classic nursery rhyme, There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.

In the shoe, the woman and her children are shown on their daily lives. All of the children look identical with the exception of the youngest child, whom the woman tends to personally. It is shown that the children are rebellious by nature, purposefully giving their meals to the cat and avoiding their combing and tooth brushing. "You didn't eat your broth and you didn't eat your bread, so go ahead and brush and hurry into bed!" yells the woman to the kids. After the children are sent to sleep, they begin a rowdy song and the situation becomes happy but highly chaotic.
