The Forest’s Baseball Team (1934)

A baseball game among the animals of the forest. In the middle of the match, the fox transforms into a princess and the raccoon into a servant, turning the scene into a kabuki-style performance. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Betty Boop also make appearances. The assistant director was Kenzo Masaoka, often referred to as “the father of Japanese animation,” who also provided the voice for the raccoon.
