This is a one shot cartoon produced by Famous Studios for Paramount. There will be spoilers ahead: By the time this was made, limited animation was virtually a necessity.
My father,Jack Ehret, was one of the animators. I know that the quality of the animation was poor, and that really upset my dad.
'Abner the Baseball' is an extremely low-budget cartoon from Paramount, the studio that consistently produced the least entertaining and least imaginative animation. The opening credits of this cartoon (with a choral theme song) place so much emphasis on the title character, they make this toon seem intended as the debut of an ongoing series.
