Featured review
"New Shoes" is a nonsensical short made by MGM in 1936. It probably ran as one of the extra items with a feature length film that was shown at the time. Often times, studios ran cartoons, newsreels (i.e., "Movietone News"), and various little odd subjects with their main features. Most often these were comedies.
This short film has two parts. The one is a live action couple who meet while each is buying a new pair of shoes in a store. They go to dinner, dancing and fall for each other. The second part is the shoes - a male and female pair, that come to life. This might have been a precursor to Claymation.
It's all very silly and likely was done to let some artists have fun by filming some talking and winking shoes. One good aspect of this short is that we get to see the Andrews Sisters singing a song. Otherwiese, a good Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, or Daffy Duck cartoon would suit me fine.
