Wiki.

Hurdy Gurdy is a 1929 animated short film which is presented by Carl Laemmle and was produced by Walter Lantz, who he and his wife would go on to make Woody Woodpecker. The film, which is animated by R.C. Hamilton, Bill Nolan and Tom Palmer, features Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who is substituted for the organ grinder's dancer, after the original one is comically swallowed up by Oswald's bubblegum.

The title is another name for the instrument (that instrument being a barrel organ) which the street performer plays throughout the film, as the informal meaning of the term 'Hurdy Gurdy' is a "barrel organ".

The film is recorded on Western Electric apparatus, which was an early sound-on-film recording system. This same system was also used on another Oswald short film entitled Permanent Wave, which was released in the same year.

Copyrighted on January 3, 1930, but released on November 24 the year prior, the film was released by Universal Pictures. Thus, the film is part of the Universal series of Oswald The Lucky Rabbit films.
