that was absolutely fantastic! was it original, or a very creative adaptation?

I think it’s an original. Foster was the writer of “Oh Susanah” and “Camptown Ladies” (thus the chorus) and apparently died destitute and fairly miserable.
Thus the ghost….

The cartoon portion definitely looked vintage…if it was new, they did an excellent job recreating the style of the era (Betty Boop?)
