Fiddlesticks is a ground-breaking 1930 animated cartoon film. It was the first complete sound cartoon to be photographed in two-strip Technicolor, and was also Ub Iwerks's first cartoon since he departed from Walt Disney's studio. Flip is seen dancing on lilypads until he reaches land and dries himself off. He walks to a party, where he performs a dance for the audience, accidentally climbing to a spider web. He also performs a duet, playing piano alongside a mouse (who bears a striking resemblance to Mickey Mouse, which Iwerks co-created with Walt Disney during his days at Disney's company) playing the violin. They perform two songs. In the first song, the mouse starts crying, and so do Flip and the piano. The second song makes Flip start hugging the piano, which then kicks Flip. The cartoon ends with Flip beating on the piano; he kicks all the piano keys into the air, and they drop onto him. --- Celebrity Productions Inc. present a Flip the Frog Color Sound Cartoon Produced and Drawn by "Ub" Iwerks "Fiddlesticks" A Flip the Frog Color-Sound Cartoon by "Ub" Iwerks
