“Fiddlesticks” is a ground-breaking 1930 animated cartoon film, as it was the first animated sound cartoon that was photographed in two-strip Technicolor, and was also Ub Iwerks’s first cartoon since he departed from Walt Disney’s studio. The unnamed mouse in the cartoon bears a striking resemblance to Mortimer Mouse, the original concept behind Mickey Mouse, both of whom were first animated by Ub Iwerks. This film was simultaneously released with “King of Jazz”, a musical revue, and was released with a cartoon depicting how Paul Whiteman, the music director of the film, “became the King of Jazz”. The animation was made at Lantz Productions.
