What happens

The Jazz Fool is a 1929 American animated short film. It is the twelfth film of the Mickey Mouse film series. It was the twelfth Mickey Mouse short to be produced, the ninth of that year. It was released on October 15, 1929, by Celebrity Productions. Columbia Pictures reissued the film after Walt Disney Productions switched distributors. The cartoon's title combines the titles of two Al Jolson films: The Jazz Singer (1927) and The Singing Fool (1928). An early version of Horace Horsecollar appears, but is not yet the anthropomorphized character that he later evolves into. The only dialogue is Mickey singing to a tune using "dohs".
