King Neptune
Take a trip down to King Neptune's underwater home. You won't want to miss Clara Cluck performing "The Dipsy Doodle." The Donald Duck Band plays "Asleep In The Deep" in a style that sounds just like something Spike Jones would have put together! It's worth noting that Spike was actually playing drums for the John Scott Trotter Orchestra during this same period. Since both the Trotter band and this radio show were based in Los Angeles, there's a good chance Spike might have been involved with the program.
The Mickey Mouse Theater of the Air was a 1938 musical-variety radio series for children, sponsored by Pepsodent and heard on NBC on Sunday afternoons, featuring Mickey Mouse and other characters from Walt Disney cartoons. There were a total of twenty broadcasts from the Disney Little Theater on the RKO lot from January 2 to May 15, 1938, the program was created to promote the February 1938 release of Disney's first animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In addition to Snow White featured in the second episode, the series featured other fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters, including "Mother Goose Land," "Cinderella," "King Neptune," "The Pied Piper," "The Old Woman in the Shoe" and "Old MacDonald".
