1950's/60's cartoons

Do you have any idea where one could find three animated shorts from the 50's or 60's? I’m not certain about the titles. The first one centered around the trial of the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk. I think Clarance Darrow was the giant’s lawyer. The second one concerned an ice cream truck driver named Henri, or Henry. He changed the tune that his truck played. The third one revolved around a daily parade. The last participant in the prade was the Dept. of Sanitation. They always left a mess in their wake. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Chris

 eflatch!
I can help you with the third cartoon you describe. It's La Petite Parade, the second of two Famous Studios cartoons featuring the crusty Monsieur Renoir who has a "feelthy, disgusting" problem with the Department de Sanitaire.

Thanks for your post, that's definitely one of them. I'll try to flesh out the other two. In the beanstalk one, a fairy godmother appears as a witness. To stop her from testifying the lawyer/Darrow character and the giant take turns repeating "I don't believe in you". She becomes angry and disappears. At the end of the cartoon she becomes the peddler who sold Jack the magic beans and is about to start the whole ordeal over again. In the Henry cartoon, Henry changes the tune of his truck from a little tinkling bell song to a rousing circus type of song. When people hear the new song they smile and buy ice cream from him. Thanks, Chris
