“Symphony In Slang” (1951) When a man arrives at the gates of heaven, the angels have a difficult time documenting the story of his life. The man speaks primarily in slang phrases, and as they try to imagine the story they take all the slang literally. #old #oldschool #classic #cartoon #cartoons #animation #nostalgia #1950s #oldisgold #comedyvideos #funny #funnyvideos #funnycartoon #slang #heaven #angels #fyp #fypシ #fypage #fypシ゚viral
