Mickey Moran (Mickey Rooney) was born in 1921 to vaudeville stars but vaudeville itself fails in 1928 with the arrival of the talkies. Mickey writes "Good Morning" and plays the piano with singing partner Patsy Barton (Judy Garland). With his parents going on the road by themselves, Mickey proposes for the kids to put on a show themselves.
This has the great pairing of Rooney and Garland although they're not always together. It has great songs including "Good Morning" which would hit much bigger in the musical "Singin' in the Rain". I do have to warn about some full-on blackface minstrels due to its era. It's generally Rooney at his youthful height. It has some great song and dance although a big one is the minstrels.
