Cupid did. Cupid shot Cock Robin. 07:26
This is a Disney Silly Symphony from 1935.
"Robin is crooning to a Mae West-like Jenny Wren when he is shot with an arrow. A court is convened; a variety of jailbirds are brought to the witness stand, but nobody knows a thing. The judge owl repeatedly sings/asks "Who killed Cock Robin. Jenny comes to court, and just as the judge is ready to give up all the witnesses, Cupid shoots an arrow and confesses to shooting, but not killing, Robin,at which point Jenny revives him."
The judge is an owl. Classic.
04:50 - Harpo Marx charicature!!! Awesome! It would be like Disney tossing in a Ben Stiller or Adam Sandler charicature into one of its shorts today.
The style still has Disney's touch from the late 1920s.
