Review of Bottles

Bottles (1936)
7/10
never not a dream
13 March 2021
In a stormy night, a pharmacist in a drug store mixes a concoction and falls asleep. Various inanimate objects come alive while he is miniaturized.

This MGM Happy Harmonies cartoon is created by Hugh Harman. It's 10 minute. It's fun but it's always going to be a dream. It's really an exercise in having fun with the variety of bottles. As in most cartoons of that era, there are some old fashion racial insensitivity which is par for the course. If Aunt Jemima is only changing now, one can't expect better from this 85 years old cartoon. The bigger issue is that it's never not a dream. The ending is inevitable.
