Little Pancho Vanilla

Little Pancho Vanilla is a 1938 Merrie Melodies short directed by Frank Tashlin.
== Plot ==
Pancho, sighing over exciting tales of bullfighting, dreams of being a real toreador, even if his mother doesn't want him to fight bulls. He's spurred to show what he can do in the ring when three saucy senoritas whom he wants to impress cast their eyes at a poster of a handsome matador. The trio of girls with their colorful costumes show off their charms. However, Pancho is outclassed by other amateurs and by the bull. Pancho enters the amateur bullfight anyway and wins, thus realizing his dream.
