What happens

Those Were Wonderful Days is a 1934 American animated comedy short film directed by Bernard B. Brown. It was originally released on April 26, 1934. It is the 33rd film in the Merrie Melodies series. The original "So Long Folks" sequence was thought to have been lost due to a splice between an airing of Honeymoon Hotel which features that short's closing sequence. The original short, except for the titles, was found on a Nickelodeon Looney Tunes airing from 1990. However, a restored print with the correct closing sequence was first featured in a 2021 episode of MeTV's classic animation series Toon In with Me. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
