Help identifying a very old cartoon?
I'm trying to recall an cartoon from my childhood... I can only remember very brief scenes from it, and certainly it was very, very old (it might be Merry Melodies -- that kind of animation style/look/era). The cartoon was about where babies come from and the setting involved a really cheerful factory/assembly line of sorts. I also think a stork was operating the machinery. There are scenes where they 'made' little girls and showed sugar and spice being used as ingredients, and for boys, they used "rats and snails and puppy dog tails" (natch). And the Stork was saying the rhyme while these scenes were shown. Does anyone else remember this? (Sound creepy enough?)
Thanks!

Best answer: Story + factory + sugar and spice = sing, babies, sing!

Response by poster: Thank you so much for the suggestions, guys! :) It didn't turn out to be any of those, but I did find it thanks to Zippy's "Sing, Babies, Sing!". It was the closest in imagery/storyline and I especially noticed the 'Fleischer studios' in the video description, which made me remember the animation studio of Max Fleischer. I googled him and viola -- I found my cartoon! ("The Stork Market") It looks like it is based on 'Sing, Babies, Sing' (makes sense since it's early Fleischer).
It's here if anyone is interested in seeing what I was talking about.
Thanks again!
