Featured review
The Cinecolor looks pretty good in the version I saw.
Recently, HBO Max has included a section for Looney Tunes cartoons. I assumed it would consist entirely of their films from their golden age of the 1940s-50s...with the likes of Bugs, Daffy and the like. However, many are the early Looney Tunes films...those which were made before the studio found its sense of humor and established characters. Instead, the shorts tend to emphasize cuteness over comedy, though the animation quality is still excellent.
When you see "Country Boy" you are bound to notice that it is in color but not full color. This is because in 1935, Disney had an exclusive agreement with Technicolor to use its new Three-Color process...which would give a true color appearance to the films. Instead, if other studios wanted color, they needed to use a cheaper Two-Color process...such as Cinecolor. While cheaper to use, the Cinecolor films clearly have a limited spectrum--and they mostly look blue-greenish and ornagy-red. Now I must say the copy on HBO Max is an awfully good one, as with some of these films the colors all degrade to a pinkish or orangy hue.
The plot for this one involves Peter Rabbit. He skips school and bad things result. Not a bad cartoon but more moralistic and less funny than most would want. However, it is pretty typical of the Harmon-Ising era at Looney Tunes.
