His beach party takes place in his Malibu home where he receives his guests, along with his wife and partner: Mary Livingstone. Jack Benny, however called Jack Bunny in this cartoon, is the main 'star' of this cartoon. His designs had a particularly very exaggerated but realistic appeal which is particularly challenging and delicate to animate, due to the richness of his drawings. Thanks to Keith Scott whose incredibly research reveals the voice actors for the cartoon as well as the story of Shenkman's brief stint at Schlesinger before he moved over to MGM after his stint for Warners. One of his contributions in the 1930s where he designed all the caricatures of the celebrities for the Color Rhapsody cartoon: Mother Goose in Swingtime.įriz Freleng had evidently been impressed with Shenkman's caricatures that he borrowed him over to the Schlesinger Studio where he would design the caricatures for this cartoon, and also for Tex in Hollywood Steps Out which was already in production around the time Malibu Beach Partywas. Shenkman's career in animation had begun in the 1930s in New York where he was working as an assistant animator. Quite possibly the biggest contributor of the cartoon was one of the finest caricaturists to work in animation: Ben Shenkman. Synopsis: Jack Benny and his wife host a beach party in his Malibu home with various celebrities invited as they enjoy the lifestyle and fun. Starring: Danny Webb (Mostly male actors), Jack Lescoulie (Jack Bunny/Phil Harris), Sara Berner (Actresses), Marie Greene (Darbis singing) and Mel Blanc (Rochester).
