MUSICAL MEMORIES (COLOR CLASSICS) 1935
The first technology used for adding sound to animated films was Phonofilm. It was used on the Song Car-Tunes animated shorts made for sing-a-long that were released on May and June of 1924. They had very poor quality and the technology was replaced in 1928 for Disney's Steamboat Willy.
The first set of Song Car-Tunes were Oh, Mabel; Mother, Pin a Rose on Me; Goodbye, My Lady Love; and Come Take a Trip on My Airship
Contrary to the indefatigable Disney publicity machine, the first cartoon with synchronized sound was “My Old Kentucky Home,” a Fleischer cartoon. It was issued in 1926, almost two years before “Steamboat Willie.”
One of the first entries in the Fleischers' series "Song Car-Tunes" featuring the bouncing ball - allowing audiences to sing along with the lyrics to the song - along with Oh Mabel (1924) and Come Take a Trip in My Airship (1924).

THE SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK
Down in front of Casey's old brown wooden stoop
On a summer's evening we formed a merry group
Boys and girls together we would sing and waltz
While Jay played the organ on the sidewalks of New York
East Side, West Side, all around the town
The tots sang "ring-a-rosie," "London Bridge is falling down"
Boys and girls together, me and Mamie O'Rourke
Tripped the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York
That's where Johnny Casey, little Jimmy Crowe
Jakey Krause, the baker, who always had the dough
Pretty Nellie Shannon with a dude as light as cork
She first picked up the waltz step on the sidewalks of New York
Things have changed since those times, some are up in "G"
Others they are wand'rers but they all feel just like me
They'd part with all they've got, could they once more walk
With their best girl and have a twirl on the sidewalks of New York
