Apparently this movie is noteworthy for the numerous scenes of the "gorgeous" Robert Taylor and his bare chest as a prize fighter. His "hairy" chest....

Won an Oscar.

From IMDb: This splendid cartoon, based on Munro Leaf's 1936 classic paean to individualism, is one of Disney's finest. The original story has been left basically intact - no animated mice or ducks, no dancing and/or singing trees & flowers needed here. Robert Lawson's evocative black & white drawings come to life in beautiful color & motion. The animators did have a bit of sly fun: the banderilleros & picadors are caricatures of the artists; the matador is a spoof of Walt himself (he was not amused). Don Wilson, Jack Benny's decades-long announcer, is an inspired choice as narrator.

Here's "gorgeous" Robert Taylor.  Couldn't find his hairy chest, though.

Starring Norway's "national treasure", Sonja Henie.  Also with Cesar Romero (later to be the campiest "Joker") and Ethel Merman.
