Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the last film produced by the original Warner Bros. animation studio (established 1929), which closed before the cartoon came out. DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, a new independent animation production company formed by ex-Warner staff, took over the studio shortly after it closed and continued making cartoons featuring Looney Tunes characters, mainly Speedy Gonzales and Daffy Duck, for most of the remainder of the 1960s. Warner's final "Golden Age" cartoons, made by a short-lived revival of the in-house studio, were released in 1969.

Featured review
a last gasp of air
In the last Warner Bros. cartoon made before the studio closed its animation unit, a man tells his friend the story of Senorella, a Mexican version of Cinderella. Obviously, fairy tales are some of the easiest stories to work with, and the Warner Bros. animation unit had been doing it from very early on. I should note, however, that the animation looks kind of metallic here and the narration starts sounding like an echo.
Otherwise, "Senorella and the Glass Huarache" is worth at least checking out. As for possible stereotyping of Mexicans, it's nothing that we haven't seen in a Speedy Gonzales cartoon. Now available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5. And if you ask me, considering that around the time that this came out was also about that time that the studio retired Bugs Bunny, they shouldn't have attempted anything after that (except for the compilation films).
Back when Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising made the first Bosko cartoon for Leon Schlesinger Productions in 1930 (which released its cartoons through WB), they probably had no idea that their studio would branch out into things like this.
