Happy Days is a 1936 animated short film directed by Ub Iwerks and part of the ComiColor cartoon series.[1]

The film was the last in the ComiColor and intended as a pilot for a series that Iwerks wanted to animate, based on Gene Byrnes's strip Reg'lar Fellers. The series was scheduled for the 1936–37 season, but never materialized.[1]

Plot

A group of children purchase a run-down old touring car, for 50 cents down, from a seedy used car dealer. Their inexperience with cars, coupled with the vehicle's mechanical unsoundness, leads to them driving it off a cliff.
