Buddy's Theatre is a 1935 Looney Tunes short directed by Ben Hardaway.
Plot[]
Buddy is working as a projectionist in a movie theater. The newsreel features a caricature of Benito Mussolini and a gag on the Swiss Navy. Coming attractions include James Bagknee (Cagney) in Here Comes the Gravy and the double feature 8 Girls in a Boat with The Thin Man. Tonight's feature stars Cookie in The Chinchilla from Warmer Bros. Buddy sighs from the projection booth as she plays piano and sings. When a gorilla climbs in her window and attacks her, Buddy jumps into the picture, literally.

Censorship[]
- Nickelodeon cut the entire scene of the black natives running, a scene that was reused from "Buddy of the Apes" (which the network refused to air due to its racially insensitive content).
Notes[]
- Animator Frank Tipper's name appears in the background.
- Animation of the cannibals is reused from "Buddy of the Apes" (1934).
