Nertsery Rhymes is a 1933 American Pre-Code short film starring Ted Healy and His Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard), a musical comedy released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Some footage was from the unfinished MGM musical The March of Time (1930), which was originally to feature Healy and the Three Stooges. This was one of two MGM Stooge shorts filmed utilized the then-experimental two-strip Technicolor process. This process would be used again in Hello Pop! (1933) featuring Ted Healy and His Stooges, and Roast Beef and Movies (1934) featuring just Curly. The use of color was predicated by the decision to recycle the "Moon Ballet" sequence from the unreleased color MGM feature The March of Time.
