You're an Education is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon supervised by Frank Tashlin[1][2] and released on November 5, 1938.[3]
Literary characters magically come to life during a midnight adventure. It unfolds with travel agency brochures. As a globe spins, it reveals the agency's window decorated with posters of different countries. A song plays as the ads come to life. The song mentions various foods, leading to humorous references to places like Hungary, Turkey, and the Sandwich Islands.
Then the Thief of Baghdad uses the Florida Keys to break into a diamond mine, only to pawn them with the Pawnee Indians. He is pursued by soldiers and police from different nations but finds an unexpected ally in the Lone Stranger, enabling his escape.
Reception
The film is described as "little more than strings of disconnected gags".[4]
