The Truth About Mother Goose (1957)

From Wikipedia: The Truth About Mother Goose is an animated film released in 1957 by Walt Disney and directed by Bill Justice and Wolfgang Reitherman. In it, a trio of jazzsinging jesters sing three Mother Goose nursery rhymes, while an offscreen narrator explains their origins in three animated vignettes. The rhymes include: Little Jack Horner : Thomas Horner (steward to Richard Whiting, the last abbot of Glastonbury), allegedly stealing a title deed in transit to Henry VIII of England. Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary : The life of Mary Stuart. The segment claims that the silver bells are said to refer to the elaborate decoration on her dresses, the cockle shells to her love of exotic food such as cockles, with the pretty maids all in a row referring to her ladiesinwaiting. London Bridge Is Falling Down : The gradual deterioration and dilapidation of the medieval Old London Bridge. Academy award nominated for b br, br,
