Saw Sinkin' in the Bathtub; the first ever Looney Tune!
Truly delightful! Music pales in comparison to the amazing work of Carl Stalling, but still innovative and very enjoyable throughout! I do really like the magical world of classic animated cartoons that they live in, which I most associate with Otto Messmer's Felix the Cat. Really cute and loveable characters I think! (I don't know who can beat Mickey and Minnie Mouse, though to be fair, Mickey and Minnie's first appearance in Plane Crazy wasn't nearly as cute or charming as this! Some people said that this was crude or plotless, but I thought it was relatively action packed (though I'll acknowledge a few spots that could have been cut tighter). I think that to fully appreciate this, you must get into the mindspace that this is a Looney Tune! Just like the contemporary Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphony cartoons it is inspired by - it's silly! The humour is very silly, and you won't like it if you don't appreciate that. I also thought that some of the background art was really beautiful work (and much better than the background art done at the Disney studio at the time!
It seems like most aren't highly recommending this one, but I have to!
