After brainstorming a few ideas with the group, I wanted to research into the time period that the song was made. The song was created within the 1930's. At this time the world was facing the second world war and rationing. The song is very up beat and joyous, making me feel that the animation to the music should be the same way.
I wanted to create two characters, one male and one female. The style of drawing will be very basic and mainly be made up from lines-rather then solid shapes. I want to place elements of the time period and what was happening at the time into the animation. The first idea that came to mind were the two characters dancing in the swing style, this is mainly a very fast dance and would fit with the music very well.
Below are a few links to videos of the swing dance;

My next step is to research into what type of clothing was worn. For this research I'm going to look both at the internet and in books.
