1930 It's a Bird (partially missing)




Director:  Harold Mueller


Cast:  Charles Bowers, Lowell Thomas


Country: USA

Notes:  Strange, semi-animated short where an egg transforms into an automobile.


Storyline:  Charlie, working on a junkjard, always trying to help people in the most impossible ways with junk from his work place, hears from a German professor, that there is a bird, a Belgish Kongo, that eats metal. Charlie sets out on a ridiculous hunting expedition to catch one. With some music - the birds love music - and a strange worm he is able to catch one, but even then the bird offers some even more over-the-top surprises.
