The Jazz Fool is a Mickey Mouse short animated film first released on December 21, 1929, as part of the Mickey Mouse film series.[2] It was the twelfth Mickey Mouse short to be produced, the ninth of that year.[3]
The cartoon's title combines the titles of two Al Jolson films: The Jazz Singer (1927) and The Singing Fool (1928).[2] An early version of Horace Horsecollar appears, but is not yet the anthropomorphized character that he later evolves into.[1]
The only dialogue is Mickey singing to a tune using "dohs".
