Nertsery Rhymes (1933) is the first short film starring Ted Healy and his Stooges. It was a musical comedy released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The original script was eight pages long. Some footage was from the unfinished MGM musical The March of Time (1930), which was to feature Healy and the Three Stooges.

The two musical numbers were taken from earlier films. "The Story of the Lady in a Fan" was originally filmed for the uncompleted March of Time (1930), and "The Woman in the Shoe" was from Lord Byron of Broadway (1930).
