Boulevardier from the Bronx is a 1936 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng. It is a parody of St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Dizzy Dean, and is loosely based on a song of the same name which was featured in the 1936 Warner Bros. musical film Colleen.
Big-city chicken baseball team with a cocky pitcher plays an exhibition baseball game in Hickville.
This short is the first Merrie Melodies cartoon to feature the signature theme song, Merrily We Roll Along.
