In 1938, MGM adapted the popular comic strip The Captain and the Kids to theatrical shorts. It did not catch on and is one of the many cartoon franchises lost over time. The Captain stand guards over his garden against marauding fowl from the neighboring home. It's a fun little short of its time. While the Captain is fine, the animals are pretty fun. The people involved are some of the important figures in cartoon production and their professionalism is obvious. It is always interesting to rediscover some of these lesser known cartoon characters.
