Visualizing the convergence of Friz Freleng's style and the core Family narrative.
A robin sings, and the vegetation turns spring-like, followed by some more action by birds and bees. A grasshopper teaches his sons to chew and spit tobacco. Two spiders play the title tune on their web; some worms animate some apples to the tune; a chorus of frogs sings. Beavers play tennis, using spider webs as a net and their tails as racquets. A bear on the prowl is rebuffed by a turtle, then traps several beavers in a tree. They drop a beehive on him; he rolls down a hay-covered hillside, landing amid a farmer's mounds of hay; the farmer tosses the bear-stack into his "bailer", and the bear turns into a walking hay bale.
Decades after its release, Pop Goes Your Heart remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Friz Freleng's status as a master of the craft in United States and beyond.
