I know this is not much to go on, but here it is. I am looking for an old cartoon, can not remember the era, but I would guess 40' or 50's. It is very dark and there is music. I can remember match sticks, playing card and flames all dancing around and singing and chanting. I think it took place in a work shop or store after hours when it was closed, because it was dark in the shop. I can try to answer an questions if you have any. I really want to get the name of this cartoon and find it, any help or suggestions would be great!

Thanks!

Nina

Just a guess, but that looks like Gumby's horse, Pokey.

Don, I think her avatar is not related to the question. She's describing something that sounds like a really early Looney Tunes or similar cartoon.

Sorry, Nina. And thanks, Rob, for setting me straight. No, I don't think it's the Sorceror's Apprentice. No flames and no playing cards. It does sound like Wholly Smoke, where Porky Pig takes a couple tokes off a cigar, gets sick and has a dresm that makes him swear off smoke forever. Or it could be one of several Warner Bros. cartoons that take place in a book store after hours, and the cover illustrations come to life. (The more modern equivalent would be an Animaniacs episode where that happened in a video store.) I can't identify which one, tho, assuming that's it.

Don,
I thank you so very much for your help, all of you. You are correct that it is not Micky, but that other suggestions are great. If you can name any at all that you may think it is please do, and also if you know where I can find the cartoons you name to either be bought or just watched, would also be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You have so far been the best help to me.
Nina

Just off the top of my head, I can think of Have You Got Any Castles?, which was directed by Frank Tashlin, as an example of one of those "after hours in a bookstore" cartoons. Seems like that might have been the first, but it would be easy to misremember it that way.

Quack, Don
