Fiddlesticks (1930) watch online

Fiddlesticks is a 1930 American animated comedy short film directed and animated by Ub Iwerks, in his first cartoon since he departed from Walt Disney's studio. The short features Iwerks' character Flip the Frog.

The short is the first complete, individual sound cartoon to be photographed in color, using the short-lived Harriscolor process. Fiddlesticks was released a few months after King of Jazz, a musical revue from Universal Pictures which included a two-strip Technicolor cartoon segment, animated by Walter Lantz & Bill Nolan of the Universal cartoon studio, featuring a caricature of the film's star Paul Whiteman (and a cameo by Iwerks creation Oswald the Lucky Rabbit).

The copyright of the film was renewed in 1959, one of the few Flip cartoons to have their copyright renewed. It entered the public domain on January 1, 2026 as a work from 1930.
