Review of Thru the Mirror

. . . THRU THE MIRROR is essentially a gangster film, from that genre's heyday in the 1930's. For any viewer slow on the uptake, this characterization becomes inescapable when Mickey is firing a constant stream of Tommy Gun-like fire at a mob of Wonderland's G-people while the radio\dispatcher is desperately "Calling all cards, calling all cards!" Mickey has brought this trouble upon himself in the standard fashion, dallying with the local crime lord's moll on the dance floor. Though a fan allows him to be saved by the bell of his alarm clock, this animated short should serve to remind viewers that ink cartridges are no substitute for the Real Thing. Therefore, after enjoying THRU THE MIRROR, please remember to support your local chapter of BANGS: Broke Americans Need Gun Stamps.
