Alfalfa singing "Barber of Seville"

[Henry]

All great stuff!  

I have a 1950's stop-motion animation question: can anyone place some (or
maybe it was just one) very well done short with armies made up of nuts and
bolts?  I remember it as rather serious and a little frightening.

The P-Liste is the greatest collection of eclectic knowledge that I know of,
so I try not to ask general NP questions like this until I've tried my best,
but this one has been bothering me for some time now.

Thanks.

Ha, ha! Enjoyed that!

The tune's an established masterpiece of comic setting, of course:

* Bugs Bunny's "Rabbit of Seville" (1949, my fav):

* Woody Woodpecker (1944): http://youtube.com/watch?v=6Jv3lL6imzU 
* Porky Pig (1941): http://youtube.com/watch?v=N53t1Gy7wP0 
* Tex Avery thang (1952: caution: racial slurs here):
