I'm afraid I've only seen this in black and white, although it was done in color. It contains some of the most fluid puppet animation ever done. The cartoon is comprised of two parts of equal length.  In the first part the scene is a large nightclub. The orchestra of Ambrose is playing.  Sam Browne sings Harbor Lights. People are seated at tables around a mirrored dance floor. Waiters hurry around.  A couple modeled on Fred and Ginger, via the De Marcos, dance. The movement of the dancers is amazing.  The mirrored image of the dancers on the floor begs belief.  The second part is set in Harlem.  Ambrose still provides the music but is not pictured.  The music is hot. The citizens dance in the streets. An elevated train rumbles by. Again the animation is perfect. It roars to a finish.

Stop motion animation is a technique in which physical objects or puppets are manipulated and photographed one frame at a time to create the illusion of movement when played back at a regular speed. This process involves posing and photographing the objects, then moving them slightly and capturing another frame, and so on. When these frames are played in sequence, they create the illusion of fluid motion.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
