Symphony in Slang is a 1951 cartoon short directed by Tex Avery written by Rich Hogan and released with the movie No Questions Asked by MGM. Minimalist and abstract in style (many of the gags are created either with single still frames or limited animation) it tells the story of a man John Brown who finds himself at the Pearly Gates explaining the story of his life to a bewildered Saint Peter and Noah Webster using slang of that era.
