What happens

Riding the Rails is a 1938 Fleischer Studios animated short film featuring Betty Boop and Pudgy the Pup. Although some sources claim that this film was nominated for an Academy Award, it does not appear in the official Academy Awards database, apparently being confused with "Ridin' the Rails", which was nominated for Best One-Reel (Live Action) Short Subject at the 1951 Academy Awards. The film inspired a large variety of collectibles in the 1930s, although originals are now rare to find. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
