Boy Meets Dog

This encore from 2011 features another one of those strange 1930s shorts.  The references to dental hygene can be explained by the fact that a toothpaste company commissioned the cartoon, but even taking that into account, it is still a bit odd.  Nevertheless, you have to love the chorus of "Sing, Sing, Sing" from the elves.  From the Internet Archive, here is "Boy Meets Dog."
