Me Musical Nephews
Me Musical Nephews is a 1942 one-reel animated cartoon directed by Seymour Kneitel and animated by Tom Johnson and George Germanetti. Jack Mercer and Jack Ward wrote the script. It is the 113th episode of the Popeye series, which was released on December 25, 1942. Plot. One night, the nephews are practicing playing their music while Popeye is continually falling asleep. He tells them to get ready for bed so he can tell them a story. The nephews are unhappy with the short story but are sent to bed anyway. The nephews are not so tired  and eventually start playing music with various objects (such as mattress springs, suspenders, medicine bottles, etc.), and Popeye eventually hears the racket and destroys the radio trying to find what's causing the noise. He soon finds out it is coming from the nephews and tries to catch them in the act. He fails however and tries to fall asleep anyway. He goes crazy and jumps out of the screen, leaving the film to end with the music playing. Production notes. "Me Musical Nephews" was remade in color as "Riot in Rhythm" in 1950. There were a few differences made  for these cartoons; for example, an uncredited Sammy Timberg composed the music for "Me Musical Nephews", while the music for "Riot in Rhythm" was by Winston Sharples. There is also no mention of Swee'Pea. "Me Musical Nephews" is in the public domain in the United States, as the copyright was not renewed.
