Those Beautiful Dames is a 1934 Merrie Melodies short directed by Isadore Freleng.

Plot

A poor orphan girl looks into a store window at all the pretty toys, then enters a run-down shack so she can escape the snowstorm. As she sleeps, the toys come to life, redecorate the shack and put on a show for the girl. They have a big party with lots of cake and ice cream.

Availability

(2006) DVD - Dames (1995 Turner dubbed version)

Notes

This is the first Merrie Melodies short to be in 2-hue Technicolor, though two shorts were released in Cinecolor prior to this short.
Starting with this short, all Merrie Melodies cartoons produced onward would be produced in color, though the Looney Tunes cartoons remained in black and white for another eight years.^[1]
