Featured review
Trolley trouble with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
Despite Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and his cartoons being popular and well received at the time, they have been vastly overshadowed over time by succeeding Disney characters (like Mickey, Donald and Goofy) and those from Looney Tunes. It is a shame as, while not cartoon masterpieces, they are fascinating for anybody wanting to see what very old animation looked like and what Disney animation was like before Mickey arrived on the scene.
'Trolley Troubles', actually the second Oswald cartoon (his debuting cartoon being the very rare 'Poor Papa'), is not great but still pretty good. The story is not much of one and has its absurd and rushed spots, and a couple of the gags are a little hokey.
Animation is not bad at all for a cartoon so old and techniques still in early days, it's crisp and fluid enough with some nice detail, sure there are some rough spots understandably especially with Disney animation becoming much more refined later. The added soundtrack and sound effects add a lot rather than distract, actually improving the cartoon's impact and making things easier to understand.
Most of the gags work very well, never hilarious as such but they are well timed and amusing, with the final two minutes being close to riotous. Oswald is an endearing protagonist and the other characters are quite fun.
Overall, pretty good. 7/10 Bethany Cox
