Featured review
In the army
Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons. Actually appreciate it even more through young adults eyes, due to having more knowledge of it, various animation styles, studios, directors and how it all works.
'Rookie Revue' is not one of Friz Freleng's, a director who did many great cartoons and a director held in high admiration by me, best, not being one of his funniest, wittiest or freshest. For relatively early Freleng, 'Rookie Revue' is well above average though he would do much better later. It is never what one would call properly hilarious (but is never unfunny), Freleng's later efforts show more evenness and confidence in directing and the story is flimsy.
It is quite thin in terms of story and the structure is basically an excuse to string them along.
However, the characters are all fun and with enough distinct personality, if lacking a discernible lead character.
The cartoon has a number of very amusing moments, there are frequent signs of variety, wit and invention and there is a good deal of liveliness.
Animation is excellent, it's fluid in movement, crisp in shading and very meticulous in detail. The music is lovely on the ears, lushly orchestrated, full of lively energy and characterful in rhythm, not only adding to the action but also enhancing it.
Voice acting is terrific, with Robert C Bruce providing snappy narration and Mel Blanc again showing a remarkable and unmatched ability to give individuality to multiple characters.
In conclusion, decent. 7/10 Bethany Cox
