About

Fiddlesticks was the first film in the Flip the Frog series. It was ground-breaking as the first complete sound cartoon to be photographed in two-strip Technicolor, and was also Ub Iwerks's first cartoon since he departed from Walt Disney's studio. The sound system was Powers Cinephone, the same system used for Disney's Steamboat Willie (1928). The film was simultaneously released with King of Jazz, a musical revue, and was released with a cartoon depicting how Paul Whiteman, the music director of the film, "became the King of Jazz".
